Giving more confidence to venture out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1695337 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 23:26:18 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1695337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AM, I've had no trouble with ASOS or Mango returns, but as I remember, Mango doesn't cover return postage?...There might be something about that they do if you ask for an exchange, but I've never tried that option, so not sure what they're doing right at the moment. In any case, no matter what the policy details have been, I've had no problems with them taking back items. HTH! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1695133 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 19:08:49 +0000 AM 1695133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And Colette - I'm thinking the turtle neck version of cold shoulder is the better option. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1695129 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 19:06:46 +0000 AM 1695129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette - Oh, so nice to meet another team black. Perhaps there will be a day that I add color -- other than gray...And thanks for the pick. You've made some lovely choices!</p> <p>Hey Angie! Lovely to see that you are still catching the world on fire with your style and grace. Can't imagine it any other way. And thanks for showing the top picks! Much appreciated.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694947 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 14:08:20 +0000 Angie 1694947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. So black! And welcome back. Lovely to see you. </p> <p>I see some top picks too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694930 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 14:00:04 +0000 Colette 1694930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice picks, I'm on team black too! But I stray to color a bit in the spring/summer. I purchased the TT coat, the turtleneck version of the cold shoulder top, and am still contemplating the PG loafers. They are a bit of a wildcard for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694627 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 01:52:57 +0000 AM 1694627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummlila -- Good to see you! Yes, I've gone to the dark side. And really enjoying it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thistle -- I love a black statement piece. Not so easy to find. And you are right about the Drama.</p> <p>Beth- I agree. Ca't wait to see the TT coat on a YLFer.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694617 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 01:31:20 +0000 Beth 1694617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good picks. Really looking forward to seeing that Trina Turk coat on a YLFer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694599 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 01:10:55 +0000 Thistle 1694599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great picks. I do like a statement piece, especially when going with a lot of black. The black helps keep the drama in check. But I do love me a statement piece, so I'm partial. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694592 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 01:00:48 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1694592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice picks, o queen of the night. I was just thinking the other day we hadn't seen you around in quite a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694586 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 00:48:26 +0000 AM 1694586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suzanne -- And how do you feel about returns. Stress free? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694585 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 00:47:55 +0000 Style Fan 1694585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great picks.&nbsp; I love the dress over pants look.&nbsp; The Vince Coat is beautiful.&nbsp; Black loves you AM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694582 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 00:46:17 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1694582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AM, I haven't done Farfetch, but ASOS and Mango have become fave hunting grounds. English brands do tend to have more post-punkable things than American ones. And oops, something black has been on its way to me from Mango since yesterday... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694566 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 00:28:59 +0000 AM 1694566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lisap -- So sweet. And nice to see you! That vince coat is pulling at my heart strings too. I think it should go on your short list.</p> <p>Suzanne -- Still playing with dress over pants. Let me know how it goes for you. We need those beautifully unusual pieces -- I haven't searched out ASOS, Farfetched, Mango, etc. Need to break out but some how starting a relationship with new stores has me paralyzed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694559 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 00:21:32 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1694559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, gray...*love* gray. Darker ones, and preferably not heathered. Though I've allowed a few mid or lighter here and there. And enjoy gray with black as well. My bank account, though, is pleased that there aren't so many unusual pieces...</p> <p>You'll layer the dresses over pants? Nice idea. I have a similarish dress that is black lace based but has purple flowers in it--might steal your idea and see how it flies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694557 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 00:19:15 +0000 Anonymous 1694557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there AM! &nbsp;Missed you around here! &nbsp;Love all of your picks, naturally. I'm not NAS'ing myself but am enjoying looking at all of the new fall stuff. &nbsp;I've got an eye out for my annual new coat - and love that Vince one. &nbsp;We'll see what the price looks like once I get access &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694549 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 00:14:12 +0000 AM 1694549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Carter! Good to see you. And your pics and your recent post about style consistency made me smile. Thanks for chiming in on the black!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694548 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 00:12:28 +0000 AM 1694548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suzanne - I'm firmly in black but have mixed in some grays. But I prefer the black. I totally understand where you are coming from. The love of black is very real. And I'm intrigued by that dress as an interesting layering piece. Which there were more unusual pieces...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694547 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 00:11:41 +0000 carter 1694547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Welcome back! There's nothing wrong with black overload when it loves you back. It all looks great, but the Leith short dress seems like a perfect choice for the dress over pants silhouette.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694545 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 00:08:46 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1694545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same on not saying much lately (anywhere, really, for me), same on back to black! I'm skewing post-punk and postapocalyptic. I don't really go classic much myself anymore. </p> <p>Although I think most times YLFers have seen me, whether IRL or in pics, I've incorporated black. But overall, my use of (and certainly additions of) it has been wayyy down. Finally realized that I missed it, no matter how well I like what I've been wearing.</p> <p>My fave of your picks: the lace dress. Which I totally do not need... It's pretty in the plum/burgundy too! And cannot argue with the price.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694539 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 23:59:35 +0000 AM 1694539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I have often thought about Gryffin! And yes, curious about these coats too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694532 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 23:56:17 +0000 Suz 1694532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. You can join Gryffin as a Princess of Darkness! These are beautiful items. I'm especially curious about the coats. I have one of those dresses on my "maybe" list also.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-in-black-1#post-1694528 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 23:52:31 +0000 AM 1694528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't posted for months and months. It's nice to see everyone. I've gone further to the dark side with my style - black and more black. Just contemplating some basics in this sale but would love to fall in love with some beautiful black statement pieces. I ordered the Paul Green Loafers (in black) and a sheer black scarf (not in the sale). &nbsp;Still contemplating but I thought I would play along. Dresses are for the dress over pant silhouette.</p>
