I’m not sure exactly why I love these so much, because I never wear camel! But I really love the way the richness of the color works so beautifully with deep jewel tones, or soft pastels. If I had the coloring to look gorgeous in camel, I’d be ALL over it… 
love,
Janice

October 10, 2015 at 12:25 pmI am so glad that you continue to share camel options even though you do not wear it. I am a camel girl. My first camel hair coat was worn until it was absolutely thread bare. Loved that coat and it played well with every other color. I am considering letting my dark (colored) hair go to gray and I fear that it may not work well with camel. If that is the case I will have a problem. LOTS of camel in my closet.!

October 10, 2015 at 4:14 pmI agree with Susan. I have dark blond hair going grey, mixing the camel with grey or navy (as per the third example) works perfectly – it's not just about hair, its also skin tone so if you always enjoyed wearing camel you will still suit it, it just needs careful balancing with grey/silver elements.

October 11, 2015 at 11:26 amthanks Ladies. I am fair and freckled and the camel has always worked. The whole go gray or not thing has been haunting me.

October 10, 2015 at 1:19 pmCamel is also one of my goto colors, I love revisiting all these past wonderful posts and thinking of all the ways I can wear the colors. My favorite at the moment would be with navy or olive. Thanks for these trips down memory lane!!

October 10, 2015 at 2:10 pmLoving these oldie but goodie posts, Janice. It's so interesting to see what you, yourself, consider your most appealing wardrobes (whether you can wear them or not!).

October 10, 2015 at 7:27 pmWow. You know you need another cup of coffee when you read "Packing a Camel" & think, geez, Janice must be going somewhere *really* interesting . . . .

October 11, 2015 at 4:27 amI love this, too, but alas, can't wear it either.

October 11, 2015 at 9:35 pmThese are my colors and I am in love with the combinations. I wore black and grey for so many years and didn't consider anything else until I had my colors "done" last spring. Now I am working in these colors as I replace items. Luckily, camel, burgundy and teal look good with both black and grey because I couldn't bring myself to toss everything and start over!
