Effortlessly slipping over the rocks and around the bends….of life? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2276126 Sun, 07 Aug 2022 11:02:45 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2276126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That Boden top was what i was looking for in your finds—I thought you had it. Along the way I came across that light blue top &amp; the scarf with the blues in it. I love that idea—think that bright blue in the skirt cries out “contrast!” so any brights would go. Being contrary, and a water lover, I think it’d be cool to splash around in some different blues to make a monochromatic mix, a gentler, harmonious look for days when you want to flow like a brook. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2276124 Sun, 07 Aug 2022 09:43:13 +0000 Jaime 2276124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me!

Busy day, then the internet died right in the middle of my post! Arrggh!<div> <p>I can see why your cobalt skirt made your top 10 list <b>Carla</b>!Gorgeous! And thank you for the fabulous inspo ideas and pics. That mariner top made me think of my black and white vest….</p> <p>High fin right back to you <b>Fash</b>! And thank you for virtually combing my closet. Some of these combos I tried a few years ago when I first got the skirt, but you’ve inspired me to revisit them. It’s funny how you can try something initially and reject it, but then your eye adjusts.</p> <p>Thank you <b>Kelly</b>, <b>rachylou</b> and <b>Mirjana</b>!</p> <p>Great ideas <b>slimcat</b>, I hope you’ll post some pics.</p> <p>I don’t have a cropped white jacket <b>Brooklyn</b>, but I do have a cropped faded denim jacket….great possibility for cooler weather!</p> <p><b>kkards</b> I’m on the 80s train with you. Of course I’ve pulled out a few black tops to see how it would look…not my best.</p> <p>Thanks <b>Janet</b>, I’ll go head to toe bold on occasion, but like you, I also like toning it down and letting that one bold element shine on its own.</p> <p>You can’t beat swoosh factor <b>Angie</b>! I’ll need to get some chartreuse in there! The trick can be the footwear and bag complement.</p> <p>Great ideas <b>Joy</b>, <b>Carol</b> and <b>Cat2</b>, thank you!</p> <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2276042 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 16:25:12 +0000 cat2 2276042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coral would be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2276018 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 14:42:12 +0000 CarolS 2276018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks FAB, and l LOOOVE the suggestion to colour block with chartreuse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2276016 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 14:37:24 +0000 Anonymous 2276016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We saw some islands in Greece with painted that blue and the stucco was very white. &nbsp;Quite an inspiration. &nbsp;On Canada Day could you wear red white and blue? &nbsp; Besides white and red you could try pale blush, metallics, and browns. &nbsp;I used coral and white with capris that color and felt it was ok. &nbsp;Mint green comes to mind and yellow is across the color wheel from blue.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2276010 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 14:28:21 +0000 Angie 2276010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty, simple, and elegant!

I love that blue. I tend to pair bright colors with neutral supporting acts (I’m not a big head-to-toe bright person), so I love how you styled this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2275982 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 12:37:07 +0000 kkards 2275982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 80s me goes straight to black. &nbsp;Of course white/cream is perfect as well. Harder to pull off, but if you could find a shirt in the same or similar cobalt that would be excellent</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2275974 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 11:12:54 +0000 Mirjana 2275974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful skirt and you styled it perfect, you don't need inspiration, fantastic outfit. Love sandals too. Gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2275960 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 07:23:15 +0000 rachylou 2275960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look ready for a grecian vacay :)</p> <p>Great suggestions here for what else one might do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2275949 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 05:18:44 +0000 Brooklyn 2275949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! Do you have a cropped jacket? Like a white denim jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2275929 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 02:21:25 +0000 slim cat 2275929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it - blue wristband/watch as perfect accessory! I've got the yellow one from BR and might be keeping the blue as well ( a bit bright for me but I love that color and subtle print ).<br />I was planing to pair it with sleeveless rayon tops with some white, black and blue prints, linen white and black top, lots of graphic tees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2275922 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 01:08:36 +0000 kellygirl 2275922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, lots of good suggestions! Love how you styled it your way with the sandals. You look effortlessly chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2275920 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 00:59:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2275920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that color. I have a hard time with my skirt that’s that blue, because I tend to wear pattern on the bottom, solids on top, but this outfit works for me. </p> <p>From your finds: I’d love to see it with the Boden top. You could make a two-piece blue dress that would look just like the blue dress you already own. You could wear the Purdey light blue/floral blouse with that or with the pale blue top. I know the lilac doesn’t match match, but might be fun.</p> <p>Btw, to get to your finds, where I saw your self-description. It reminded me a comment a certain dude made to me recently: “ you live for the water probably more than the fish do, so I totally get that. :-)”. So high five—er, fin. High fin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2275918 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 00:50:15 +0000 Carla 2275918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely your (1) neon green sweater for colour-blocking (2) orange sneakers and a pristine white top (3) black and white mariner stripe t…I’ll come back with some more ideas.</p> <p>Edited to add: I used to have a cobalt pencil skirt (loved it) and it was a workhorse. &nbsp;I wore it with a yellow sleeveless top, various mariner stripe T’s, black sweaters, a blue and white striped button down and &nbsp;a pink, blue and white floral with a white jean jacket (9 years ago and one of my top 10 favourite outfits!)</p> <p>After I posted, I found some photos for inspo :-D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-kind-of-day#post-2275917 Sat, 06 Aug 2022 00:45:54 +0000 merwoman 2275917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find this electric blue skirt a bit challenging in terms of pairing it with a topper. For date night this evening I matched it up with a cream sweater and was happy with the contrast and the ‘lightness’ of the outfit. The skirt is so swishy, such a treat to wear.<br />Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on styling! </p>
