I'm a redhead with green eyes and would wear dark greens, golds, browns, oranges, purples and such all year round if I could find them!
Pooks, I completely agree with you. Where are all the beautiful rich jewel tones that actually make people look alive? The current fashion trend for so many seems to be true neutrals and pushed neutrals. I am so sick of grayed out colors. They aren't even true clear pastels. I just cruised JJill. There are a few things that are classic fitted jackets much like Territory Ahead and then there is the shapeless grandma's curtains and antimacassar look in old rose and mildewed turquoise. Call me an old fogey for liking rich colors, but at least I don't look like my clothes sat in granny's attic for years.
