So when Janet asked "Is their a beige for all of us?" I think what she means to understand is how to find our best neutrals. And Angie is sooooo right, neutrals can be harder to select for yourself than regular "color". It takes lots of experimentation. Holding things up to your face. Photographing. Asking loved ones, "The grey or the camel?"
This sweater is sort of a soft cocoa brown, which I like on myself much better than warmer camel or tan shades. The cocoa, along with taupe, make good neutrals for cool blondes like me. I can wear grey too, but I just think that the taupes and "donkey" colors look better due to the darker tones in my hair being those colors. Other blondes may look great in the warmer tan tones, because they have more warmth in their hair or skin.
I like how this color makes my eyes really pop. I used taupe and brown shadow and liner to pull up the sweater color to my face.
I like the soft gold accents with this outfit because I think they look good with my cool blonde hair. I know I can do silver too, but I prefer soft golds. It's a good split between the warmer gold and the cooler silvers.
