Thank you for posting photos of this CW. I asked my SA to put it aside for me as soon as it comes in. Looking at the photos, it is however more muted than I expected but not enough to be considered a neutral. Now I have mixed feelings about this CW. I'm really hoping to add some fun, whimsical yellow scarves, especially CSGM, to my collection this season. Would you say the colors in the photos are quite true to life?
if i had to describe it in a few words they would be: grey, greenish yellow, calm and cool.
it has a lot of grey to it, it has green border, it's calm and not YELLOW-INTO-YOUR-FACE pop of colour and i would say it's a cold tone of yellow. Totally not my story. But i reckon if it's YOUR shade, it will look stunning, ykwim? It has to 'click', it's not that type of versatile and 'suit nicely' for everyone, or safe choice for the gift, you definitely need to try it on.
 
the stock picture is over lit, imo, JQ is much softer blue irl, it's too dark here now, i will take better pics in daylight tomorrow, but we really had hard time with my SA making sure it's the one i wanted - we had to compare the feathers and butterflies to figure out it's the one!!
stock photo looks like clean blue and white, when irl the colours are well blended....

If I may jump in the conversation, cavalla, the photos by @ksuromax do it justice. The cw 09 is indeed muted. To me, it's that pale. I had thought something in light yellow, absinthe and grey would be a good departure from my dark, saturated shawls -- I was looking forward to this cw! -- but my heart was saying 'maybe,' even if my head was saying 'it's PdS!'

It did not come home with me.
I need it to be true love.

Maybe it will be for you! :)

yes, i forgot to add that - photo i took in the boutique is very close to real life colours.
i have not seen other cws of DdS but i suspect they will be the same pale, and this is not what i expect PdS to look like.
i will wait till they re-issue them in different, more vibrant and deep, saturated violet, lime, crimson, blood red, etc colours :flowers:

Your thoughts and descriptions are truly appreciated. I was hoping a toned down - well balanced by naturel - but true absinthe. I had the absinthe paperoles that Giovanna Battaglia owns in mind. I was hoping that it would be a "slightly" more demure version of it, colorwise. But it seems that "naturel" dominates, which is a color that usually makes me look washed-out. I'll still try it, but probably won't keep high hope of it now. :girlsigh:

And yet, it could still be love for you! :hugs:
