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.

I love the drape front cardigan (though I too am not a big fan of neutral).
Love me some Shade. Esp. their denim skirt!
Love the drape front cardigan

The v-neck cardigan in black is the perfect, classic neutral.
Love that cowl neck top.
I love the drape front cardigan in berry and the ribbed skirt in hazelnut. Thanks for a chance to win!
I am a facebook fan of shade (as well as a real life fan!)
I generally love neutrals, but have been loving color too. I think I’d go with the drape front cardigan–I’m ALWAYS cold!
I’m a FB fan of Shade. ๐
I like the long sleeve stripe shirt and the interlock dress. ๐
I am now a fan of Shade! Michell Adams ([email protected])
The Interlock Dress in Black has to be one of my favorites. I also love the ribbed skirt in black.

i want the straight skirt in pewter.
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).
Jena I appreciate the feedback, I’ll have to play around with a few of your suggestions.

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).
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.
Jenna Habermeyer: Shade Facebook Fan
okay, duh…see where the belt is from. i’ll have to look for a cheaper version.
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
love neutrals and shade. ๐

I’m a Camel girl, all the way. It works best with my light olive complexion and it goes with everything.

The drape front cardigan is super cute. I think that’s my favorite.
I love the drape front cardigan!

I like the interlock dress. Not necessarily neutral in color, but neutral in style. Lots of fun ways to accesorize.

I love the black interlock dress.

Either the scoop necked long sleeved stripey t or a tank – both would be great basics for my wardrobe! ๐
I live in their layering tee – it’s got to be my favorite thing!
I love the Pintuck Bow Top in Charcoal because you can wear it over most anything.
love the music/instrumental piece in the background of that neutrals clip. Any chance you could email me on [email protected] and share what it is/who by etc
Also is the rumour that Anthropologie is FINALLY shipping to Australia early this year true ?? (please please please be true)
Would so love an actual store here to walk into and browse and try things on…but an online store would be great in the meantime
You always pick my favorite pieces! The drape front cardigan would be perfect for me, especially during this warm/cold in between season.
Definitely the 3/4 sleeve scoop neck in off white. I’ll just have to layer to keep it spotless!
[email protected]
Yeah, the Drape Front Cardi in Oatmeal is still my number one layer for this look!
I love the waffle henley for lounging and the interlock dress for work.
I am a FB shade fan! Rachael Rigby Hart
I love the blazer jacket in black, the structure of it would conceal my midsection that has lost a bit of definition after bearing two children
I am pregnant, so I would love to combine one of their pregnancy tees with the featured drape front cardigan. So cute!
Shade Facebook fan, here.
And I like the Straight Skirt in Pewter.
I LOVE the drape front cardigan. It looks so comfy!
Im a fan on FB-Justforme Andyou
i also like the scoop neck 3/4 with cuff
i used to be a neutral gal but i employ color fervently these days. ’tis always nice to have a neutral base though, and i think the interlock dress in black could be a wonderful start.

Can gray count? Because I would get the 3/4 Sleeve V-Neck Cardigan in heather gray.
The drape front cardigan is nice but I would prefer the3/4 v-neck cardigan in black. It goes with more clothes I have. Just love your ensemble with the neutral colors.

Denim skirt or ruffle top – – how can I choose?
Am already a fan on facebook. Yay me!
I didn’t know Shade had a fb page! I am now a fan.
I really like the 3/4 SLEEVE V-NECK CARDIGAN in blue/grey. So cute and still neutral!
Closet full of neutrals and I’m not afraid to add to it!
Shade Facebook Fan and love it!
I too am a fan of Shade on Facebook and I think I could hand a drape front cardigan.
I love shade!!! i like most of there clothes ๐

I also like the front drape cardigan, but like it better in Berry than Oatmeal.
I’m loving that drape front cardi ๐
Neutrals are simply perfection for the winter time. I dress for the seasons. ๐
I can’t choose a favorite between denim skirt, straight skirt, and drape front cardigan.

the ribbed skirt would be so versatile! just what I need in my closet!
I have had my eye on the drape front cardigan in berry–gorgeous!
I love the interlock dress in black. And I am in need of dresses, I only own separate skirts and shirts, I really need to start stepping up my wardrobe!

I adore the drape front cardigan, I am also loving the Funnel Neck Zip Up. Too Cute!
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!
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.
love the d-ring lounge vest
I love this entire outfit! I am a big fan of Shade.
i love the drape front cardigan a lot!
I’d have to go with the ribbed skirt. Looks like the perfect neutral basic to me!
