WIW : Black & Silver - YouLookFab Forum

Hi Ladies,

I think it's the change over of the seasons but I feel like I don't know how to dress myself at the moment One day it's warm, next day a bit cooler if only we could have some consistency, perhaps I would get my mojo back.

Wore this on Sunday. Added the sunnies for a bit of fun, but really should have thought more about shapewear as my 'spare tyre' seems to have broken loose

Please don't chastise me, but I really am enjoying wearing black at the moment. And it was cool enough to layer (yay). Black and layering, two of my favourite fashion things.

I know the necklace is a bit over the top, but I just love it. I'm thinking of wearing it over a long sleeve tee with jeans next.

BTW, I am really enjoying carrying a clutch. So much so that a clutch has become my weekend go to bag. It is really quite impractical as I like to carry 'everything' with me and DH gets frustrated that there is no room for his keys or wallet when we are out together... by I have tried to explain to him that it is a matter of priorities he he

Your suggestions, etc always very appreciated.

xxx Deborah

Beautiful! I love the necklace and how it is the star of your outfit.
I'm also enjoying a clutch much more than I thought I would.

Love it!

You wear black with such sophistication, I could never chastise you about it.

I like the necklace. It adds that graphic, arty quality that you do so well.

YLF!

Beautiful outfit on you. The look is glamorous and cool; the layers are so great together. The necklace is stunning with the outfit, too, and I like your idea of wearing it over a long-sleeved tee with jeans. Are you wearing black nail polish on your toes? Love it! I like the patent shoes, too.

Deborah, I understand pefectly the allure of this outfit on this day. When, in the past 3-4 months, could you have comfortably worn it?
This is like a confident embrace of autumn and of cooler days to come.
Now, if only it would rain as well.
And you look especially lovely, no missing mojo is apparent.

I love the necklace! I think it is what brings it from "just another black outfit" (not that there is anything wrong with that) to something completely stunning! Love the layering too! I miss my layers and it's still not cool enough on this side of the country to wear them!

Hi Deborah,
I like the necklace with the black.
Your outfit has lots of interest with the layering- can't even imagine a spare tyre hiding anywhere there
The hint of skin with the sandals is perfect for this in-between weather.

I really like this Deborah. The necklace adds texture & interest & a little non-black.

Beautful, Deborah you do black so well. I have to enjoy seeing you wear black as it doesn't suit me, so please, carry on by all means. Loving the necklace BTW.

That's a well sophisticated all black! Love it!!! So you!:-)
(are you wearing a skirt over skinnies?-just curious if is it comfy layered on the lower part, too) and the necklace is a statement piece, for sure- just gorgeous, and the clutch, too:-) I too have worn lot of clutches last summer and loved it.

Deborah

Firecracker, yes I have black nail polish on my toes. It's been my go to toenail colour for the summer:)

Lyn 67 it is a dress over my skinny jeans and yes it's very comfortable. I have been doing dresses over pants for years. I find I take a break but then go back to it again and am in that rediscovery period again.

I think that necklace is the perfect accessory for an all black outfit. Looks great!

Well, I think we will be black and white twins today, Deborah, as that's exactly what I have planned to wear (with a pretty necklace, too!). I am feeling the same way about the change of seasons - it's like I don't know how to dress myself.
You look wonderful, and BTW, I don't see any spare tire

TraceyLiz65

That necklace deserves to be the star! Wearing it against the black does just that! Great look!

I think the necklace looks wonderful with this outfit. You must be so happy you can start layering up again

Beth Ann

Love the drape and flow of this, Deborah. I think the drama in the necklace is absolutely fitting, not OTT!

You look fab, Deborah! How can you not wear black and layers when they look so great on you?

I love the last photo when you're peeking at us over your sunglasses. Who's behind those Foster Grants? (line from an old American ad campaign for sunglasses)

You do dresses over pants so well! I can't seem to master this (not comfortably, anyway - I always feel bunchy) so I am utterly in awe. And you look wonderful. Very Odyssey Home. Your necklace ties right in to Angie's blog post today!

BTW, your hair is looking especially sharp!

Four seasons in one week! It's such a weird time of year when the seasons switch isn't it?

The silhouette pairings in this outfit work wonderfully well

I hereby crown you Queen Big Necklace, Queen Layers (wave to Diana!) and Queen Black from Head to Toe.

Oh yes! Loving the handbag priorities.

Debora

Tell hubby he'll have to carry his own bag! My hubby likes to deposit things in my bag, too.

You look fabulous in black and layers, and your necklace steals the show!

Day Vies

I don't think the necklace is over the top at all in fact I want to know where you got it. I LOVE the scale and the design. It is definitely highligheted against the black pieces all of which I love because of the cut and fit. This is simply smashing not over the top to me at all! (marking as favorite!)

Thistle

You rock black! You look so sleek and sophisticated. I am not sure how you pull that off with layering a dress, as I most certainly cannot, but it really works for you.

YLF!

annagybe

Totally works!

Transcona Shannon

Well you know I'm gonna love this 'cause I love an all black outfit! But you make all black look interesting with different shapes, silhouettes and killer accessories.

ElleH

I think the necklace looks great! It isn't over the top with that all black outfit, which is also fab!

I love the silver and black, but I personally don't like the necklace.
