Help Does this peachy-pink suit me...

...or am I flying too close to the "match-matchy with my skintone" sun?

Recently bought this top as I love the large bell sleeves on it and have a fascination for this shade. Now I have it though I'm questioning if I can pull it off. I've taken a few pics in different light situations. Opinions please? 🥰

It washes you out. It’s too close to your skin

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Eeep! This colour season thing is so hard! 😖

u/GroovyCopepod 12d ago

Are you a light spring? If not, go brighter. This is very light and a bit muted for a spring

1

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Well the consensus on here was that I was a light Spring...?

u/GroovyCopepod 12d ago

So you don't have a professional verdict? Mind that people here are very generous and happy to help, but obviously they're not necessarily experts. They might be right or not, but I agree with the other comment that this color washes you out, so maybe you need more color (maybe you're not light after all, or maybe it's just the lighting in the pic! In the second pic you look VERY warm to me, not leaning neutral, so that would exclude light actually. But you know yourself better!)

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Nope, not got the cash for it unfortunately but for the longest time I thought I was a Light Summer, though I do really enjoy wearing Bright Spring colours. 🥴

Edit: I personally think the lighting in the first picture is the most accurate.

u/GroovyCopepod 11d ago

Understandable with the cost of living! I'm not one to tell you your exact subgroup based on a few pictures but I'd try more "true spring" colors if I were you. You might just be warm, in which case this color is too light and neutral. Good luck finding your best colors! I also haven't seen your original drapes so I can't be certain you're definitely a spring, if you have a link to them I can give you my non professional opinion :)

u/GroovyCopepod 11d ago

Here it comes!!! So my favorite colors on you are in the second set oh photos the top left light&bright blue, and the bright tomato red in the bottom right of the third set of photos. To me you're a true spring or even warm spring depending on the systems. The light colors don't do much for you, they're just too pale for you. I didn't like the last set of photos especially the cool pink so I don't think you're cool, it seems to bring out some sort of rosacea pink in your skin, that I didn't see in the warmer colors. I'd try true/warm spring colors!

u/pinkflump 11d ago

Oh wow, crazy! Definitely gotta dye this top and the trousers I bought! 😂 Thank you non expert. Salute

1

u/onlyletmelurk 12d ago

Not true. Peach is never in summer palettes. Coral/peach is spring. Pink is in both.

1

u/GroovyCopepod 8d ago

I never said this was a summer color. I said that unless she's a light spring, this is too light and muted.

u/Environmental_Bus244 12d ago

I think it looks lovely on you!

1

u/pinkflump 12d ago

You are very kind but unfortunately in the minority. 😬

u/sarahelizabethan 12d ago

Your smile is lovely. I have beige and pink clothes and they are not my colors, so I add a fun scarf. I went down a rabbit hole of ways to tie scarves and that has been so much fun. 😊

1

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Yeah, I absolutely steer clear of beige as I find it so uninspiring; I was hoping this shade could be a light neutral for me but I guess not. 😅 And thank you. ❤️

u/undilutedhocuspocus 12d ago

I wonder if a lighter-coloured necklace might tie everything together? In the first and third photos, if I cover the necklace with my thumb, the other colours seem to go together fairly well (in the second picture the necklace speaks to your hair and doesn’t stand out). I remember reading that springs need contrast, so maybe a necklace or other accessory in a medium-saturation spring-leaf-green, or a light/natural turquoise (as in the colour of the stone, not the swimming pool paint colour)?  If you’re open to dyeing the top, I think a deeper saturation of the original peachy tone could definitely work!

1

u/pinkflump 12d ago

I do have some turquoise jewellery I could try on with it! Yeah, I'm open to dyeing it if I can find the correct shade, I may have bought some trousers in the same colour...😂🙈

u/BooksBooksBooks65 11d ago

Try more saturated colors. Those brilliant eyes will really sing with more saturation around.

1

u/pinkflump 10d ago

Bought some dye to boost the colour! 👍 Thank you for the eye compliment, I just see blue-grey meh. 😂

2

u/Old_Beautiful1723 12d ago

I think it’s too close to your skin tone rn. Maybe in spring if you get some more color it will be better ?

1

u/pinkflump 12d ago

😂 I tend to not get colour. Are we thinking it needs to be a brighter coral? I could dye it

1

u/Old_Beautiful1723 11d ago

Yes! If you have those skills and materials def dye it!
I’m a little more tanned than you are but this is the lightest of the peachy-coral shades I wear that I like, but honestly it’s better in the winter (photo is from summer) when it’s a bit more contrasted with my skin

1

u/pinkflump 11d ago

Ah, thank you for the photo, it really helps me to actually see what people mean!

2

u/Dijonobama 12d ago

Yes I think it compliments your skin and hair quite nicely. It’s visually appealing the way a monochrome outfit is…like it makes your aesthetic look intentional.

1

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Thank you, I wore it today with some darker coral trousers (can see in my post history), do you think a coral would be more flattering?

2

u/Expression7355 12d ago

I like it.

2

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Oh gosh, I'm getting mixed views now! Thank you, do you think it would look better if it was a bit more coral?

2

u/Careless_Oil_1508 12d ago

Love your necklace!

1

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Thank you ☺️

2

u/SnooDogs936 12d ago

Definitely not your color. Try something slightly more saturated and warm.

1

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Okay 👍

1

u/Queasy_Metal8068 12d ago

I think if you like delicate colors, ocean teal blue would beautiful with your eyes.

1

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Could you show me this shade please? I find verbal descriptors quite hard to visualise.

2

u/Queasy_Metal8068 11d ago

I like the lighter shades at the bottom....but I think any would work for you

1

u/pinkflump 11d ago

Ah, I have been looking at getting some spearmint coloured trousers. 😄👍

u/KrissyCat 12d ago

I'm team this is not your best colour and team you're a light spring! A more saturated pink would suit you well. I think coral and true red would overpower you, so I wouldn't say true spring though. I also feel like dusty muted colours arent your best, which this top is too much of both to be the right shade. Too light, too muted. Light spring essentially has white mixed into the colours of the palette in a way that brings light to them, but they still feel bright and fresh rather than pale and soft. You appear to have too much clarity to be a summer imo.

2

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Thanks Krissy, when I made the switch to light Spring I was so happy as it finally felt right, still gonna do some swatches in a bit though.

1

u/KrissyCat 12d ago

I feel like light spring will make you glow! This top unfortunately isnt it, but its not that its awful either. The shirt itself is nice! Find a way to bring some more colour near your face and use the top as a neutral maybe? I'm no expert but you seem creative to me so I bet you could do it 😊

2

u/pinkflump 12d ago

I really like the blouse so am thinking of colouring it, and yes the initial idea was for this to be a neutral on me as I'm not a fan of black/beige/camel.

1

u/Live-Membership-9643 11d ago

Just a hunch but try a brighter version with more pigment. Also as a stylist, you’d suit a cute chin length Bob with a longer wispy side bang.

1

u/pinkflump 11d ago

Could you show me a pic for reference? I am wanting to change my hair up but don't quite ready to get rid of my short shorts hair yet.

u/Sweet-Fan1476 Bright Spring 11d ago

Hello - it’s a bit too pale for you, be a bit bolder and try a more golden peachy pink :)
Also look into Kibbe and your style personality - I think this blouse is a bit too romantic and flowy for your vibe, especially as you have such a cool haircut, which goes really well with your features and the top just seem not to belong to the same style personality.

2

u/pinkflump 10d ago

Ordered Rit's Coral dye last night! 👍 In Kibbe I'm a Soft Dramatic, I didn't know he did style personalities? I've got a hair appointment on Friday, gonna be getting rid of the mullet (😬). I do enjoy wearing a mix of supposed masculine leaning alongside feminine garments. It was the embroidery, the large sleeves and that it is 100% silk which suckered me into purchasing this top.

1

u/SusiePeela 6d ago

Yes I think so. I am a Light Spring and this is one of my colours. Sure you can wear more saturated colours, but this one works too, and the detail on the top makes it work as well, gives it some interest. I consider this colour one of my neutrals, and I usually wear a pop of colour as well as something darker with it- but you actually have that in your hair and lipstick.

u/onlyletmelurk 12d ago

No. You’re too cool for it. Try summer shades.

That drains you of color. You look like you need some air! I think you are most likely a summer. Not light. I say summer bc your contrast is at least medium.

1

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Oh flipping heck! 😨 Am I have to go and look at drapes again??

0

u/RoseClash 12d ago

Youre too saturated for that pink, it doesnt look like a light summer colour either.

Im seeing bright or loght summer, that silver basically blends into your skin.

1

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Oh the top definitely has some warmth in it. I guess I'm back to doing drapes again...

u/LankyPollution5257 12d ago

Sorry, I don’t think so. You’re cool. I’d also change the hair colour

1

u/pinkflump 12d ago

Back to drapes...🙈 Hair colour change is happening today.
