And I love peacock colours.</p> <p>Without knowing about your challenge, I too wore this colour combo (navy and black) today. However, in my opinion this combo looks best when adding a lighter or brighter colour, at least on me, who needs some contrast. So I chose one item with narrow white stripes, and added accessories in bright blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1935113 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 16:08:18 +0000 Jenn 1935113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That peacock blue looks particularly good with the black! Unexpected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1935093 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 15:42:20 +0000 cindysmith 1935093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it!

You look terrific and I agree with you about the lightness that the scarf provides. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1935062 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 14:16:55 +0000 Angie 1935062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>Could be nice with tan boots too.</p> <p>I love <i>all</i> shades of dark blue with black. I don't ever think of them as clashing. I see harmony each time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934947 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 01:28:00 +0000 Aida 1934947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfit and color combo ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934903 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 23:01:14 +0000 Mainelady 1934903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! That scarf is a great unifying piece! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934881 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 22:16:31 +0000 Katerina 1934881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this colour combination.<br /> I echo Brooklyn!<br /> I did not wear this colour combination before I joined YLF, but was inspired mostly by Sterling and now I really like wearing it too. Feels modern and a bit cool. Love your use of blue and black in this outfit. Very nicely done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934877 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 21:51:56 +0000 texstyle 1934877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great -&nbsp; I think it depends on the shade of the navy and black and the items chosen and I think you've nailed it perfectly.</p> <p>The scarf really does pull it all together nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934867 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 21:05:10 +0000 Astrid 1934867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! I really like black and blue together. Same as black and brown. I don’t find it an awkward color pairing at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934862 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 20:49:43 +0000 Sal 1934862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all.&nbsp; I deliberately chose the scarf to allow navy and black mixing- I experimented a bit last winter and found a bit of sparkle or lightness really helped.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>For NZ/Australians - it was from Jacqui E so not an expensive one at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934802 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 15:40:07 +0000 Anonymous 1934802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely. That is a beautiful scarf. Agreeing with others that it pulls everything together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934785 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 13:25:27 +0000 LaPed 1934785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! The addition of white elements and the peacock blue coat on top make this feel very intentional to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934769 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 11:56:30 +0000 RobinF 1934769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I agree that it looks intentional which is key I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934763 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 11:46:46 +0000 Brooklyn 1934763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me. To me the addition of the lighter colour (in the scarf) and the lighter coat makes it all look nuanced and intentional (and not like you dressed in the dark!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934750 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 10:02:01 +0000 Staysfit 1934750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this color combination on you. The scarf pulls it all together. It’s a good way to break with convention. I like the blue wool coat which pulls out the navy even more. I think that made the entire outfit shine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934747 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 09:57:40 +0000 ChrisM 1934747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-breaking-the-rules#post-1934743 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 09:47:56 +0000 Mirjana 1934743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit, beautiful scarf.
