Do you like turquoise? Can't decide if I love or hate this Boden cable jumper.

Here. I'm a HOC winter with dark hair if that's relevant to anyone ;)

Yes, agree it's old fashioned/vintage style, that's what I'm after. Still not sure about colour, will have to see it in the flesh.

It might not be so bright in the flesh. If it's more muted it would be lovely (do let us know).

Hate it. It looks like its from Peacocks. Sorry.

I really like it. Could see it with a white shirt underneath and some tan skinnies and ankle boots for autumn. I like the slightly old-fashionedness of it. Like something from a 70's knitting pattern in a good way imo.

I'm really surprised at the negative response, I think it's a really nice jumper. I think it would look great styled as cafenoir described.

iI love torquoise, it is probably may favourite colour. I don't know what my colouring is technicall (think it might be colour me beautiful soft autumn, blonde hair and hazely/green eyes. Find that it also works with my recently died bright pink hair. Have a fab torquoise lacy sleevless dress and also a jumper dress and a mini skirt that colour (mini skirt is maybe more teale. Also think it looks great with black, navy, brown or even grey.

Sorry meant to type dyed

Bad news kestrel, I was checking a few things with my HoC consultant so checked this too and she said it is a spring colour.

I love turquoise but that is a lot of turquoise.

Sunny I checked my swatch booklet when I got home and there are two colours in it that look turquoise to me! Chinese blue and some other blue beginning with L. I think it would be vvv useful if they gave us the swatches for all four seasons so we could compare them all and learn the differences. Also, Kettlewell lists turquoise as a winter colour, which adds to my confusion. Anyway, if the turquoise jumper suits me, I'll keep it :) But OliviaMN is right, it's a hell of a lot of turquoise, especially for someone whose never really worn turquoise before.

A Keztrel and a Kezztrel on the same thread!

(Just received a despatch note for it so will report back when it arrives on it's hideousness or lack thereof. I may include photos if it's particuarly awesome/gross...)

I'm the same person dexter, promise!

I thought it might be someone else who liked the same thing! Is it a World of Warcraft name? (I just googled it)

It might be, but I chose it because I was partaking in a kestrel survey when I needed a new MN name, and Kestrel was already taken.

So, almost as geeky as being a world of warcraft player, but not quite.

And I added the extra Z because I quit MN this morning in a fit of trying to sort my life out. World record rejoining time??

I'm glad you decided to stay!

Thanks dexter :)

Lovely colour! One of my favourite shades.

couldnt resist this tread
Love turquoise, but not really in full colour, more as an accessory. Couldnt do that jumper personally, but it looks to me like it might be nice with a dark brown cord skirt or grey knit/tweed trousers,

I'd wear it with white shirt underneath and a pair of well faded jeans - probably boyfriend style and light coloured ankle boots - that's in an alternative universe of course where I didn't live with a large pair of DD's stuck to my chest!

Like the idea of the white shirt underneath. And hadn't thought of the grey/tweed/woolly trousers idea Turquoiseblue, I have loads of those in my wardrobe, they're my winter work staple :)

I think you mean Lagoon Blue, that's what I thought it might be too. But she said it is a yellowy turquoise :(

My consultant said people get really hung up on trying to find the precise shade in their booklet and that there are many shades in between we can go for, but I can't work out if something is just a lighter/darker version of the correct shade or a different tone. I was just thinking today that it would be really handy to have a small booklet of all the other colours that we shouldn't wear for comparison.

Make sure to report back as I really like that jumper too!!

Love the color, hate the sweater.

What is a "HOC winter"?

House of Colour consultant said I was a winter Cote. Basically I suit cool tones and have high contrast in my colouring - pale skin, dark hair. Bright or deep rather than muted colours look best.

Sunny that's exactly what we need! Maybe we can get some autumns, springs and summers to photograph their swatches for us...
