You seem to have a sunny radiance no matter what you wear. The black coat and booties are gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldie-challenge---day-6-back-in-black#post-1910165 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 15:13:05 +0000 Mirjana 1910165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, beautiful knitt black dress and coat.

Great fit - no wonder you still have it. It would look great with a dramatic cobalt patterned scarf, don't you think? Maybe try your red boots too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Seconding <b>Katerina</b> - shoes, bags and scarves are STRENGTHS.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldie-challenge---day-6-back-in-black#post-1910140 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 14:19:49 +0000 Suz 1910140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Katerina</b> said. (Especially about strengths!) :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldie-challenge---day-6-back-in-black#post-1910139 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 14:11:20 +0000 Katerina 1910139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great oldies Bijou! The black outfit looks good on you. Perfect shape of the coat and the dress. Beautiful boots.<br /> It is a pity that black doesn’t photograph as well as lighter colours, normally pictures of black items don’t do them justice. From what I can see in your photos, your black pieces are great. And I like Valentino Red, they do beautiful feminine pieces.</p> <p>Btw, shouldn’t you say “bags, scarves and shoes are my strengths” instead Because that is the case actually. They are my “strengths” too! Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldie-challenge---day-6-back-in-black#post-1910125 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 13:27:59 +0000 Bijou 1910125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Krish - the booties do not have the scarf attached. I bought them from a shoe store that also sells great scarves and the lady displays her scarves on the boots. I was able to pick up a photo of my boots from her store's Facebook page. Her store is a great source of shoes, scarves and bags - all weaknesses of mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldie-challenge---day-6-back-in-black#post-1910120 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 13:12:01 +0000 krishnidoux 1910120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! Black suits you so well, and this coat (trench?) looks wonderful on you.&nbsp;<br />Both dress and coat are the perfect length.<br />I am intrigued by the booties. They are absolutely gorgeous. Did they come with a scarf attached? I can't see from your pics if that's the case, or if it's just a presentation (in which case, I have never seen a scarf being worn in thsi way!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldie-challenge---day-6-back-in-black#post-1910116 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 13:05:09 +0000 Bijou 1910116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day 6 of the Oldie Challenge</p> <p>Today's ensemble of all oldies, was a black knitted dress with a coated linen coat and black booties. Black used to be my favourite colour and I have been gradually editing it out of my wardrobe. I still love how dramatic black is, but I do think other colours are better on me. However, I feel very much at home in black and do like the occasional all black day and this knitted dress is incredibly comfortable to wear, hence which is why I still have it.</p> <p>Photo 1 - With the Coat<br />Photo 2 - knitted dress</p> <p>Knitted dress - 6 years old - Red Valentino<br />Coated linen coat - 5 years old - Paul Ka<br />Black booties - 7 years old - XSA</p> <p>Worn with a very old (I think 12 year old) black hand bag (not shown). I only have a find for my boots.</p> <p> </p>
