I am glad the mixed metals are not distracting. The jacket fits ok over a light or sleeveless top, so I will probably keep it for summer and look for a winter one too. The jacket I am wearing is useful with a red top and white bottom to make a red, white and blue outfit if needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-and-black#post-2155296 Sat, 21 Nov 2020 13:14:15 +0000 Bijou 2155296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful and the mixed metal does not jump out at me or detract from this winning formula. This shows the power of a good jacket as I like this strong shoulder line on you, very much along the lines of a Balmain jacket. I think you can wear one of these fitted jackets without it looking I’ll fitting. If it is not comfortable to wear then pass on the jacket, but it does not look too tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-and-black#post-2155292 Sat, 21 Nov 2020 12:57:07 +0000 kkards 2155292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done<br />love the booties, matching bag, top, and &nbsp;sunnies<br />and honestly, even after you pointed it out, i really don’t see the mixed metals, its just not my thing.<br />I’d hang on to the jacket, and keep your eye out for something you like better, if you find it great, if you don’t this one is still there for days you are wanting a pop of cobalt&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-and-black#post-2155274 Sat, 21 Nov 2020 07:19:16 +0000 Jane 2155274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo - the scarf is great and I love the white / black / mixed metals vibe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-and-black#post-2155264 Sat, 21 Nov 2020 05:20:25 +0000 Anonymous 2155264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I learned here that adding white can be magical and solve a lot of problems.

To me, the boots are such a fabulous finishing touch. I can't see the mixed metals, but I would generally not be bothered by it; I mix mine a lot, and in fact did the same this week--booties with silver, and gold/brass higher up in the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-and-black#post-2155218 Sat, 21 Nov 2020 00:17:26 +0000 Anonymous 2155218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Katerina.

These are not joggers but might be sized up leggings. Ordinarily I would wear my EF black pants, but there is a bottleneck in the laundry and they were not dry. These are also EF black knits. I scandalized the SAs when I bought them because the fit is not a legging fit on me. They thought I should size down a lot.<br /> Thank you, Angie! I am astounded and humbled by the Killer. These boots are becoming favorites and the scarf gets lots of wear. This small white bag has become useful to carry my glucose meter and phone and a tube of glucose tablets during the day.<br /> Yes, Tanya, I need a longer jacket for this outfit. This jacket is mostly worn with dresses and skirts which is why it is a near orphan this year. I can do about the same outfit with a black knee length tube skirt.<br /> Thank you minaminu and MsMary. I love bookending and hope the mix of metals is not too distracting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-and-black#post-2155135 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 18:52:01 +0000 Dana 2155135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfit!

Black slim pants, old white turtleneck, old cobalt jacket discovered in the closet and usually worn in warmer weather, white and tan croc embossed booties, black and white small scarf and small leather white crossbody. I am mixing metals here. The boots have silver studs and the bag has gold hardwear, as does a bracelet with blue glass. I may change the boots for white loafers.<br /> Does the mix of metals bother you? Is the fit of the jacket too far off? It is better over something more lighweight than the thick long sleeved top I have on. The jacket is close to being a closet orphan. It is time, I suspect, to let it go and look for a better one. I welcome your thoughts. </p>
