I think it looked beautiful the second time around with the black. I was also thinking it might look lovely (it's such a gorgeous sweater) with a white button-down underneath (look at Carole's V-neck sweater thread, the white forms a barrier between your skin tone and the sandy shade).<br /> I also love the idea of "filling up" the space between the lowish cowl-neck and your face with a colourful patterned scarf. And lastly, I would also try wearing a light-weight (short-sleeved or sleeveless if you prefer) turtleneck underneath, in a shade that flatters you (how about teal or purple or black?). I know you think turtlenecks aren't your best look, but combined with the cowl-neck collar you'll get a completely different look.</p> <p>Okay, I'll just add that you always find such fun shows to attend;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-black#post-122377 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:49:22 +0000 Anonymous 122377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a fab outfit with all the contrasts. The idea of putting navy with the black and adding bits of cream works for me. Thank you for showing us how it's done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-black#post-122350 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:16:23 +0000 Louise 122350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't see the contrast on my screen but it sounds fab x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-black#post-122331 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:20:44 +0000 rae 122331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't see the velvet/suede texture contrast on my screen, unfortunately. It is an interesting mix to combine those materials with a shinier shirt as well; I am so curious how it would look in person. In any case, navy with black is a favorite of mine -- hooray for a great color combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-black#post-122328 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:15:13 +0000 Kristine 122328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful and very chic! It's a little hard for me to distinguish the colors and textures on my monitor, but I love navy and black together. The pearls and clutch sets off the darker colors perfectly too, really pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-black#post-122320 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:04:28 +0000 marianna 122320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit!

And that sounds like a cool show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-black#post-122302 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:15:58 +0000 AJ 122302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! On my screen, the button down looks black, but I'm imagining it as navy. I stil haven't tried the navy and black combo but you make it look good. I like the accents of white as well. Nicely styled! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-black#post-122300 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:12:23 +0000 LoP 122300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty and sophisticated. I love the texture mix. I also like what you've done to your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-and-black#post-122298 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:00:41 +0000 shiny 122298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last night we attended this show:</p> <p><a href="http://www.boston.com/ae/theater_arts/articles/2009/10/04/sleep_no_more_allows_audience_members_to_pick_their_own_show/" rel="nofollow">http://www.boston.com/ae/theat....._own_show/</a></p> <p>In a nutshell, it's loosely based on MacBeth. You are required to wear a mask and you walk around this old school in the dark. Kinda like combining a haunted house with a play. More details if you want in the article link above.</p> <p>For this event, I wanted to wear something appropriate, and head-to-toe black made sense tome. But ultimately I added a navy, instead of black, blouse, as that looked more interesting to my eye:</p> <p><a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/Winter%202009-10/?action=view&#038;current=february2010003.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....010003.jpg</a></p> <p>Blazer (AT) is velvet. Navy blouse is from ATO, with black lace cami underneath. Inc ponte knit pants, black suede boots. Added pearls and cream clutch for contrast. </p> <p>The goal was to play with textures - not sure if I succeeded? I wonder if this would've been better with different boots? Is suede + velvet too much together? </p> <p>P.s. this pic was taken after the show, so excuse my face - the mask rubbed off all my foundation and left me all ruddy-cheeked! And I was tired - lots of walking. </p>
