May not work for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pastel-with-black---a-yay-for-me-wiw-326/page/2#post-1463997 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 18:36:20 +0000 texstyle 1463997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your rendition of pastels with black (and white), I think the white makes it work better for my eye since I'm not usually a fan of pastels. Of course this coat is more saturated and a lovely shade. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pastel-with-black---a-yay-for-me-wiw-326/page/2#post-1463975 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:43:13 +0000 AM 1463975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love it. And I agree with Deborah about using pastels while maintaining edge. Just great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pastel-with-black---a-yay-for-me-wiw-326/page/2#post-1463952 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 16:54:59 +0000 kkards 1463952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IMO there's pastels that work with black and pastels that don't. i think of this pink as a strong pink (i'm sure there is some "real" term for it that i don't know), but this pink works. and that you have paired this with a great graphic tee with lots of white space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pastel-with-black---a-yay-for-me-wiw-326#post-1463945 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 16:50:42 +0000 rachylou 1463945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab!

You pulled this together beautifully, the shirt under that coat is genius!</p> <p>Camera selfie tip: Turn the camera upside down so that the lens is on the bottom instead instead of the top.

Your hair is looking fantastic - and what a wonderful combination with the coat!</p> <p>Your selfies are great, but I so hear you about the photography bit - took me &gt;3 years to start taking photos with a self-timer.
