I love the acid punch of that first sweater, and the plum jacket right after it, but really it’s the variety that gets me here. Glad to hear the brogues are good to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge--some-wiw#post-2220074 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 07:49:28 +0000 rachylou 2220074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are 1-4… I hear Angie, but I also like that hit of green </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge--some-wiw#post-2220046 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 02:18:32 +0000 Jaime 2220046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Angie about the shoes and the favorites. I especially like the oxfords with these looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge--some-wiw#post-2219962 Sat, 28 Aug 2021 20:11:20 +0000 Sally 2219962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Deb and Jonesey.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Thank you Star.&nbsp; I naturally gravitate towards black but am trying to add in colour through scarves and cardigans etc.&nbsp;<br />Thank you Angie.&nbsp; I was wondering after I saw the photos if the casualness of the knitted dress was in conflict (maybe not the right word) with the heaviness of the jackets.&nbsp; I am wondering if my new dress which is more classic would work better with the jackets and the brogues and if I should leave the tshirt dresses for more casual looks with sneakers and denim.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge--some-wiw#post-2219913 Sat, 28 Aug 2021 17:32:12 +0000 Jonesy 2219913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge--some-wiw#post-2219849 Sat, 28 Aug 2021 14:35:29 +0000 Angie 2219849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2, 3 and 4 are my faves! The crispness of a woven topper worn over a knitted dress is what is swaying me because I like the dressier effect.</p> <p>I wear a lot of the same shoes too. Personally, I don't think of it as boring, but rather as signature to a style :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge--some-wiw#post-2219833 Sat, 28 Aug 2021 13:16:31 +0000 Deb 2219833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>11 fabulous looks…..I really like each version and they suit you very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge--some-wiw#post-2219794 Sat, 28 Aug 2021 10:22:57 +0000 Star (Lise) 2219794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these Sally, all of them have an interesting twist.&nbsp; You look great in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge--some-wiw#post-2219707 Sat, 28 Aug 2021 00:28:43 +0000 Sally 2219707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Joy for embracing this challenge.&nbsp; I feel a bit slack as I got too caught up in things and didn't post photos.&nbsp; Here are some of the options I went with.&nbsp; I like to be a bit boring in that I wear the same shoes. I also like the idea of a capsule wardrobe.&nbsp; &nbsp;The only shoes I wore were my tough boots, my doc martins and my brogues (which I had to resole).&nbsp; &nbsp;I would also do the same options with black skinnies and a black top.&nbsp; These are my options with two black dresses....one is a cotton black t-shirt dress (betty basics) and the other is a merino wool dress which I pretty much wore only with my stompy boots.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />pic 1.&nbsp; t-shirt dress with cardigan<br />pic 2&nbsp; t- shirt dress with red jacket<br />pic 3 t-shirt dress with black /white jacket and scarf<br />pic 4 t shirt dress with denim jacket open<br />pic 5 t shirt dress with denim shut<br />pic 6 t shirt dress with striped cardigan<br />pic 7 t shirt dress with moto jacket<br />pic 8 merino dress with scarf<br />pic 9 merino dress with wool coat and scarf<br />pic 10 merino dress back to front.&nbsp; I've only discovered I can do this and think this might be a more versatile look for spring with brogues or doc.
