You look so beautiful in those caramel and mustard earth tones. I really love how they highlight you hair and golden tones in your skin. </p> <p>As for that scenery, no wonder NZ is famous for its natural beauty, it really is stunning... now if only we could travel... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2141053 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 02:15:58 +0000 Brooklyn 2141053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Easy! No challenge at all My favourite is no 1.

Gorgeous throughout including the mountains! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140851 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 20:51:04 +0000 JAileen 2140851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the white, grey and mustard outfit. &nbsp;It’s really great! &nbsp;And the views are gorgeous. &nbsp;The farm looks like it could be in Northern California. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140849 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 20:48:04 +0000 RobinF 2140849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow fabulous mountains!</p> <p>These are all great but my favorite is the outfit with the gold scarf - love the color against your face and I have always loved gray and gold together. After that the wide crops - really cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140847 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 20:41:24 +0000 Helena 2140847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are awesome looks - I especially love that burnt orange, which along with a brighter coral is certainly a power colour for you. It looks so smart with the sharp tailoring of the blazer and dark jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140796 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 16:32:10 +0000 The Cat 2140796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forgot to say that I enjoyed looking at those beautiful photos from your country. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140795 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 16:19:22 +0000 kellygirl 2140795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I miss seeing blue skies!

Support your decision on the wide crops! </p> <p>What a lovely country you have.</p> <p>Also - your hair is looking great!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140783 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 15:18:28 +0000 slim cat 2140783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks! I love #1 outfit ( fab jacket! ) and #3 for relaxed/casual vibe! "Light colors/no black" motto works so well for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140774 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 14:47:34 +0000 Angie 2140774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking sooooo good, <b>Sal</b>! I love them all. Faves are both outfits with the white jeans. PUNCHY. You're rocking those aviators and light blue sneakers too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hope you had fun skiing!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140766 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 14:25:03 +0000 Anonymous 2140766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have trouble appreciating yellow but the color of your scarf is so versatile it's kind of fascinating. Cool looking in warm weather and warm in winter plus looks amazing against a clear blue sky.</p> <p>You look so great in white jeans, so fresh and yet not fussy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140750 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 14:07:04 +0000 anchie 2140750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, fantastic set of outfits, do you need black at all? Especially love #3, and even the cropped pants too.<br /> I haven’t worn black since probably March but it is easier for me because it is summer. In winter much more difficult to achieve. I will try this challenge in few months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140713 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 11:19:29 +0000 Anonymous 2140713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pretty place!

All nicely done</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140708 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 10:40:41 +0000 The Cat 2140708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite is #1. That blazer is gorgeous. The jeans look perfect. And the top is a good colour for you. Great colour combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140705 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 09:39:21 +0000 notsaf 2140705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great, Sal.

Love all outfits, very smart!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140690 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 07:37:04 +0000 lyn67 2140690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always have the best backgrounds,Sal- I'm envious! Love your cozy, practical, well grounded outfits here-nr 3 is especially cheery-you had me (and surely Angie, too) with the white bottoms, and love how you styled them for fall in nr 2 on the right! And no blacks??? Wow+! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140684 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 06:39:28 +0000 Barbara Diane 2140684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You certainly succeeded with your non-black outfits.<br /> The last photo is spectacular! Thanks for sharing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140683 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 06:37:22 +0000 Jane 2140683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit in 3 is especially lovely, love the sunnies, hair and yellow scarf. My next favourite is the middle in in 2 - it looks so polished and elegantMy casual. The mountains look so crisp, I feel I can almost taste the freshness of the air. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-outfits-without-black#post-2140675 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 05:33:36 +0000 Sal 2140675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or almost without black.....</p> <p>After my 10x10 challenge I decided to try and wear some looks without black.&nbsp; There have been a couple of others that I forgot to photograph as well.&nbsp; I think I managed seven days in a row without black.</p> <p>- for work, blazer and jeans and boots (navy, soft grey, burnt orange)<br /> - for Saturday errands, olive, off white, soft blue (and a little black stripe)<br /> - for work, column of navy with a wine coloured cardigan<br /> - also for work, white jeans, a soft patterned blouse and my wrap coat (also showing the colours close up)<br /> - for a couple of nights away (white, grey, mustard)</p> <p>And a bonus picture of the snowy mountains and on the way to the Central Volcanic Plateau in NZ (Mt Ruapehu) where I went skiing.&nbsp; The weather was amazing as you can see.</p> <p>Take aways - the olive crops are going.&nbsp; They are better with tucked tops but any fabric tucked in is very unflattering on the lower tummy area.&nbsp; I am just out of love with them full stop.</p> <p>My next challenge is to wear the orphans... I have two scarves I have not worn for a few years and a dress I would like to wear before winter ends....... </p> <p>Thanks for looking.</p>
