I've seen beige look amazing on very fair people too. But not me. Yes, my instinct was right about drowning the beige, but I challenged myself to see if I could come up with something notable without the assistance of colour. Win some, lose some. Heh. The quality of these pants is truly outstanding. They feel expensive and lovely. I won't throw them out quite yet.

I'm surprised I didn't cut holes in these pants. But oh, I get so weak when I see fine quality. The colour itself does me no favours. And it's a rare day when the colour actually matches my mood. I'll keep them for just-in-case.
