Kiwichick - that's actually a photo series based on an outdoor art installation, I love Ivan Bilibin's illustrations though. I like going monochrome dark (especially when I used to dye my hair black), but now that my hair is brown and it's spring, I'm enjoying introducing some color too.
Cindy - The pink mohair sweater is actually thrifted The Limited. But I love pale pinks that aren't beigey too.
Missey - I agree that the mushroom/muted tones aren't usually as good with my coloring as the deep saturated ones. I actually like the pale pink in RL a lot more than the mushroom though as it's a more saturated soft rose than shows in the photos and doesn't have any brown or gray in it. It is still quite pale from farther away though.
thanks again all!
