Somehow your blondeness prevents the black from dragging. That collar is divine.

This is dramatic elegant eclectic and your beautiful hair is the star. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942278 Sun, 26 May 2013 21:10:34 +0000 CocoLion 942278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! &nbsp;It reflects an aspirational (imaginary?) style persona of mine, if I could pull off all black, and had a dressier lifestyle. &nbsp;Your light hair, even complexion, intense eyes and lips work extremely well with black. &nbsp;It tends to drag down my appearance; I really do look best in pastels or bright colors. &nbsp;Yet in my heart I totally relate to this all-black, dramatic style persona. &nbsp;It screams style, creativity, taste and self-confidence.&nbsp; I guess I just have to work on having it come out in other ways. &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942276 Sun, 26 May 2013 20:55:31 +0000 jurocha 942276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Superb! I hope this outfit scores high on your happiness scale; though I know it's silly I can't help but feel all warm and fuzzy when I read "Hush puppies" (boots). I never associated the brand with square shoes, as I got to know them after their "recent revamp" (and the Hush puppies shoe-sneakers I own are so very comfortable that I can't picture you *not* feeling super happy while sporting shoes from the brand). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942252 Sun, 26 May 2013 19:32:35 +0000 Hil 942252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fabulous!!!

Glorious outfit, always love all black on you Deb, cuz there are always some special silouettes, &nbsp;textures and drapes which beat all the colours in the world! I die to see the other incarnation and the dress on itself alone, too-for learning how one can do make&nbsp;that raw(complex:-))geometric shapes and cuts work so well on a real woman in a real life! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942216 Sun, 26 May 2013 18:07:13 +0000 Kari 942216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the richness and drama of those layers, especially the portrait collar. The complexity is what makes it look arty and interesting to me, and keeping it all black allows you to play with compex layers without looking like "too much" as it might in a high contrast color combo with the same pieces. </p> <p>LOVE how your hair is looking here. Utterly fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942152 Sun, 26 May 2013 16:26:00 +0000 Parsley 942152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous and dramatic, Deborah!<br />I love the drapey layers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942138 Sun, 26 May 2013 16:14:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 942138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Arty, dramatic, stylish, flattering... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942096 Sun, 26 May 2013 15:25:38 +0000 TraceyLiz65 942096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this despite my poison eye for all black. &nbsp;I love the drama the collar of the sweater creates and think that interst makes the all black work wonderfully!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942094 Sun, 26 May 2013 15:21:20 +0000 christy 942094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I adore this and think you look quite dramatic and elegant. I've always had a soft spot for all black outfits and this feels particularly sophisticated and stylish. I think the draping and layers keep it from being too stark IMO. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942085 Sun, 26 May 2013 15:09:09 +0000 Angie 942085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, Debs! I forgot to mention that your hair looks particularly fab today! Thanks for reminding me, Beth Ann. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942057 Sun, 26 May 2013 14:50:59 +0000 Anonymous 942057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am always amazed at how well you do a bit of volume Deborah, but you never let it overwhelm you. I think the shorter dress must help provide some structure. Even though you're not showing "skin" (because of the tights) seeing that bit of leg helps. I love the long cardigan and its collar. Very dramatic and cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942055 Sun, 26 May 2013 14:49:54 +0000 Sona 942055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah: I know Angie has mentioned this before but I really would love to see you experiment with more color. So many of us came to YLF in mostly black as our predominant colors and have changed quite&nbsp; a bit. You look sensational as always but my plea is for some colored bottoms which would show off your sexy legs and up the ante so to speak. I hope you don't mind my frank speaking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942046 Sun, 26 May 2013 14:40:33 +0000 pil 942046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dramatic and subtle at the same time. This is gorgeous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942039 Sun, 26 May 2013 14:19:42 +0000 carolbee 942039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, so this is a complex geometrics dress. It looks fab, love it with the tights but no doubt will look equally as fab with leggings and skinny jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942037 Sun, 26 May 2013 14:17:37 +0000 Beth Ann 942037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the portrait collar, and the way it works with your necklace to frame your face.&nbsp; You hair looks particularly good this morning.&nbsp; The color seems a bit warmer.&nbsp; Is this just the photo, or perhaps the result of a little less Summer sun?&nbsp; It's always stunning of course, but the color I see on my monitor is blond perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942033 Sun, 26 May 2013 14:13:16 +0000 Momo 942033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942018 Sun, 26 May 2013 13:53:29 +0000 ironkurtin 942018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All black is the bomb. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942016 Sun, 26 May 2013 13:52:16 +0000 Sara L. 942016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the tights look great with the outfit. &nbsp;Seeing the shape of your legs helps keep the volume on top from overwhelming the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complex#post-942014 Sun, 26 May 2013 13:43:57 +0000 Angie 942014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the silhouettes of these layers, Debs! They work perfectly for your style persona - and the lengths are flattering too! Gorgeously arty, theatrical, and elegant! I do find the look extremely black - but I know that's what makes you happy right now, and I <i>so</i> want you to be happy. </p> <p>I am trying VERY hard<i> </i>not to let the all black thing influence my judgements and trigger my potential poison eye (it is <i>potential</i> - not complete poison eye) for all black outfits. Please bear with me, and you must continue to have fun with fashion!!! xo </p>
