You look gorgeous, but I do think you might want to try a warmer grey. This one looks very cool on my monitor.

I seem to recall your hair is on the mend from some chlorine damage; perhaps you'll feel differently about this top once your hair is back to its usual colour?

Anchie, you have beautiful hair. Just stunning.

The top is a cooler grey than your natural hair. That's why it doesn't work as well as you wish. I'm with Liz and Janet on this.

I have a similar feeling if I wear a grey that is too warm. My skin and hair are very cool toned.

Maybe a warmer grey - or maybe just wear the colours that you love and look fab on you - yellow being one!

I can’t wear optic white near my face and I have given up on it except for pants and shoes or in a pattern. Same with greyed olives and charcoal and taupe/beige.

So many great responses, thank you. Apologies for not replying to everyone individually, cause I am on my phone. After 8+ hours in front of monitor at work I just can’t use computer in my free time. But I did read, consider and appreciate each and every response.
Many of you commented that this sweater is too cool color for me and that I should try more warm grey and I agree with this. Champagne and light gold color sounds fab but I am afraid not easy to find. Any finds maybe? I kind of think that #4 color scheme from today’s blog post could work for me too. I am even thinking that gold could be better metal for me than silver. I seem to have very similar coloring as Joy. But here is the catch - this is not really my natural color. I mentioned before my yellowing hair issue, and that is still skewing how my hair looks. My natural color is completely white, not this warm color. Even my hairdresser first recommended to go with blond highlights because they would blend better then silver with my current color, but I just did not see that going blond is good solution for me. Question is should I accept this color and adjust to it instead of fighting it?

Your hair looks beautiful. I am at a loss as to advice about staying with this hair color or trying (again) to change it, but I do think this sweater is just not quite "your" shade of gray. I think you could wear a charcoal gray quite well, though.

Thanks for the further info, Anchie. It could be the photos but it seems to me there is big difference in your hair color in this photo, versus the one you posted on the other thread with the short hair cut. With the additional info that you've had some yellowing due to chlorine, I stand by my suggestion to try a purple shampoo if you haven't already.

I'm using Aveda Blue Malva. As I said it does dry my hair out, so I don't use it very often, once a month tops, then again when I get it cut (as I'm now going to an Aveda salon). It makes a big difference when I use it.
My husband also uses it.

My blonde kids were on the swim team growing up, in the pool 6 days a week, and their hair would turn green over the season. I wish I could remember the shampoo they used to restore it. I think it was a Paul Mitchell brand?

That said, I think your hair is a glorious color. If it were me I might just postpone wearing silver tops for now! Love the idea of champagne for you.

I'm sorry you're still dealing with the hair issues. Hair is such a personal thing, and it is such an important part of our overall look.

If it were me, I would try to adjust to the new hair color and buy a few pieces that work well with it (mostly tops, maybe a couple of scarves), so that I have stuff to wear that makes me feel great even when I am in transition. (You're growing your hair out to transition back to your natural color after the chlorine damage, yes?) It's kind of like Angie's advice to dress for the body you have now (this would be dress for the hair you have now).

I see what you mean about the gray in the top clashing with the hair. Gray is such a tricky color to wear. I would look for a warmer gray top. If it were me and I wanted to wear the top in the pic, I would pull my hair back so that the contrast is not so obvious.

Changing your hair color can have big consequences for your wardrobe, which can take time to iron out. And I'm sure you find it especially tough when you didn't want the change in the first place!

I have this problem with some shades of grey too. It makes the brassy tones in my hair look a dirty yellow, and the silver tones look dull.
It seems to really depend on the exact shade of the clothes.... sometimes it works quite well! Confusing....
fwiw I still think that sweater is jfe for you.

Your hair is beautiful. I do think the shade of gray might be a bit too light next to your skin, but the lipstick helps keep you from looking colorless. Try adding a scarf or a necklace with some color and I think you will like the sweater better.

Anchie, I'm nodding along with Liz, Suz, Janet & Lisa P. There are a billion shades of grey, and you need a slightly warmer shade. The right grey is going to look fabulous - but whether it makes you happy is another story.

Well I still love how you look in this top. I have seen your other thread today though and agree that the other outfit grey colour looks better. As far as which greys to buy, I think the colour will change more in the next few months, won't it, with it being winter and as the chlorine damaged hair grows out? If it were me I wouldn't spend much on grey clothing when you are not sure?
