My name is Reachel, and I am a color addict. I apply it liberally Monday through Sunday: crimson, coral, cobalt, and chartreuse. But there are days for remission, moments to revert back to simple tone on tone sophistication. There is a time for neutrals.
Shade Clothing can help you begin to break your dye based dependence. Start with garments like the Drape Front Cardigan in Oatmeal, purveyed by these quality neutral merchandisers. To select an ensemble in neutral shades of ecru, camel and cream, ensure you’ve determined the color family which best flatters your complexion, then add texture, shape, and shine as detailed in the following episode of Fitting Room Friday.

Normally, I love everything you put together… I am a huge fan. But, I don’t feel that this is your best work. I am sorry.
You tend to really understand the intricacies of the female form, but this just isn’t as flattering as it could be.
It’s too Michelle Obama and not in a good way. Each of the pieces is phenomenal, but there is just too much going on on-top. The ruffle, the belt and the drape of the cardigan all seem to be competing. If you remove any one of the three, it’s a good combination (obviously, I don’t mean go bare breasted, just add a simple tee or something).
Reachel Bagley, Stylist says
Jena I appreciate the feedback, I’ll have to play around with a few of your suggestions.

Sare says
I have pretty pale skin so neutrals don’t always work right on me…unless it is a darker brown for contrast.
I love the Shade classic cap sleeve as well as the drape cardigan (the berry color is so pretty…sorry it isn’t a neutral).
Heidi Jo says
i love this look….where is the belt from?
i have many of shade’s staples…and the long sleeve crew neck is my favorite base. with a cami underneath.

Heidi Jo says
okay, duh…see where the belt is from. i’ll have to look for a cheaper version.
JennaHabes says
My preferred basic is blazer jacket. I gives me the curves I lack.

the off-white 3/4 sleeve shirt w/cuff has my vote. you can wear it under anything and it’s thin enough to do layers, lots of layers. ๐

I adore the drape front cardigan, I am also loving the Funnel Neck Zip Up. Too Cute!
Mikaela says
I love the turtleneck dress in “heather raisin” (brown) paired with their adorable skinny belt.
Or, for another option, I’d love to wear their straight pencil skirt in “pewter” (gray) with the drape front cardigan in oatmeal.
oooh…their stuff is adorable!
Michelle says
A dark gray works well for me as a neutral foundation. The ribbed skirt in the pewter would be the perfect lovely for me to have around.
