I love that color so much, and always think of the Raymond Carver story about the peacock (can't recall the name) and the peacocks I saw in New Zealand that were so tame they would come up and sit next to you. Once you see one up so close, you have a whole new appreciation for the color.<br /><br />The dress is lovely, as are all of your dresses and pairings.Anchor-Of-My-Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964070228224719554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069696493360863795.post-21205453537681091162010-07-29T17:20:31.027-04:002010-07-29T17:20:31.027-04:00I will throw in a dissenting vote and say that I l...I will throw in a dissenting vote and say that I like the color teal, though a darker teal and not the neon-bright teal we're all likely associating with the 80s. But the name is awful. I prefer to describe the color I love as "peacock blue." I like "pink champagne" but since I love champagne and dislike mauve, I'm not sure it works for me! However you look lovely, as ever, in that dress. - Queen LuciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069696493360863795.post-47180705791539366902010-07-29T16:07:22.496-04:002010-07-29T16:07:22.496-04:00oh, you are soooo good at this. making vintage non...oh, you are soooo good at this. making vintage non-fussy and wearable. can you teach a class?<br />mMaria Casteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019147739198235041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069696493360863795.post-19155518529991199082010-07-29T13:54:37.982-04:002010-07-29T13:54:37.982-04:00that is really 'everyday' elegant.. lovely...that is really 'everyday' elegant.. lovelyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069696493360863795.post-61340813134077970722010-07-29T13:42:36.779-04:002010-07-29T13:42:36.779-04:00mauve is such a tough one! it IS mauve, so it is h...mauve is such a tough one! it IS mauve, so it is hard to rename it, although I agree with you ladies - it doesn't really strike one as elegant or lovely, just sort of muted and old-lady-ish. we must think of something wonderful to call it. <br /><br />on a slightly related note, my 5 y/o son insists on calling all things seafoam, "sea-phone". <br /><br />cute!Sadie Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037929936382722087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069696493360863795.post-67992302163303223292010-07-29T13:33:31.782-04:002010-07-29T13:33:31.782-04:00i seem to recall an attempt to popularize "pi...i seem to recall an attempt to popularize "pink champagne" a few years back.<br />teal is a horrible color and it deserves it’s awful name! :)Mother Midnight Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565116244739909493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069696493360863795.post-13791451251150331922010-07-29T13:13:48.597-04:002010-07-29T13:13:48.597-04:00Agree with you about the color names.

A few days ago I listed a pair of mauve heels, but I completely left the color out of the title because nobody goes searching for 'mauve' even though they're beautiful shoes. 'Mauvelous' perhaps?Mrs. Pottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278469649040011788noreply@blogger.com
