The dark romance theme appealed to me, but the cohesiveness of your approach combined with the variety of looks you put together were truly impressive. And of course ylf </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last/page/2#post-1938218 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 01:28:23 +0000 Brooklyn 1938218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks SarahD8, I am glad you found that helpful. I plan to continue the layered necklace look through spring and summer. I think it can work against summer outfits but might be best against plain coloured tops or dresses (not patterns). And yes, I think if each seasonal theme is a gentle evolution of the last theme, some overarching themes might emerge (or I hope so anyway!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last/page/2#post-1938162 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 23:55:19 +0000 SarahD8 1938162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, it has been such a treat to follow your project. Thank you for keeping us updated! Each batch of outfits has been lovelier than the last.</p> <p>I am really liking the layered necklaces. Thanks for linking to the video and also for providing the specific lengths of necklaces you use -- numbers are SO helpful to me! I have a layered necklace look I want to try out although I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out a summer outfit that I feel will stand up to it. Hmm.</p> <p>I look forward to seeing how your spring/summer theme develops. You mentioned that you have always had trouble settling on a single style moniker. I wonder, if you do these seasonal themes several times in a row, will some more overarching theme emerge? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last/page/2#post-1938137 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 22:50:48 +0000 The Cat 1938137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, that sounds interesting (your comment to Jenn about your spring look), I look forward to seeing the details. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last/page/2#post-1938135 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 22:45:32 +0000 Brooklyn 1938135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenn. Yes, the jewellery experimentation was fun and kept me interested. I’m almost decided on a theme for spring. I want to introduce more contrast and graphic prints and some different textures (swapping out the brocade, velvet, wool and leather for tweed and more jersey and cotton). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last/page/2#post-1938097 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 20:05:21 +0000 Jenn 1938097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those layered necklaces really do make a difference in changing the mood of pieces you already had. It sounds like this has provided just enough of a twist to keep things interesting. Have you decided what you'll be doing for spring? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1937816 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 04:42:51 +0000 Brooklyn 1937816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sal. It keeps me honest. Otherwise I can be pretty impulsive and my wardrobe starts to get out of control. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1937814 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 04:24:04 +0000 Sal 1937814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous looks - the necklace&nbsp; mixing and layering is really fun and inspirational (I have only made it to two so far).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I have always enjoyed your style but can see that a theme does provide a standard/goal/aspiration to aim for!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1937794 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 01:49:13 +0000 Brooklyn 1937794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gryffin, I find for longer necklaces a difference in length of about 4-5 inches works well. I use a 45 inch chain as my anchor and then add 40, 36, 32 and 28 inch necklaces (or some combination of these). For shorter length necklaces, I think the layers look better if they are quite close in length. So maybe I will wear a 10 inch choker plus an 11 inch necklace plus a 13 inch necklace. I prefer the metal finish to be similar and the level of refinement. I am still experimenting. I don’t know if you saw this video I posted earlier, but I found it helpful:</p> <p><a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-layer-necklaces" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-necklaces</a></p> <p>The Cat, thanks! I am comfortable with multi necklaces but it’s quite the palaver to get them on and off if I go to the gym. Note to self: avoid wearing 7 necklaces on gym days.</p> <p>And thanks Shevia and Krish. Krish, I have a few of the turtleneck tops that you mention and will certainly try that combo out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1937427 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 11:05:22 +0000 krishnidoux 1937427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a great collection of necklaces! I like how you combined them in 3 and 8 most.&nbsp;<br />Favorite is 2 - so dramatic! - but I also am very fond of 7.<br />I like the skirt in 4, but I'd like to see it with another top - either a cream color silk blouse, or a closer to the body formula like a turtleneck or jersey.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1937425 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 10:58:30 +0000 gryffin 1937425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn - May I ask a really stupid question? I think the whole key to necklace layering is getting the lengths right, followed by complimentary thickness, metals, stones. May I ask the lengths of your necklaces and which combos of lengths you find most harmonious? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1937421 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 10:47:51 +0000 The Cat 1937421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have enjoyed following your dark romance project. My favourites here are #6 and 7.</p> <p>Necklaces really seem to be key accessories for you, and you wear them so well. Personally, I would feel very dressed up if I wore more than two necklaces, but you wear your layered necklaces in a natural and chic casual way. A perfect look for you--and a source of inspiration to the rest of us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1937419 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 10:38:55 +0000 Jaime 1937419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of that and you have become an expert necklace layerer! I love how you were both creative and methodological about this. And the results are stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1937416 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 10:10:48 +0000 gryffin 1937416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so you it’s close to what you want!! If you try it could you feedbsck quality? I am considering the black, of course. It looks like it was not steamed properly. Want to make sure the workmanship is good. But it’s one of the nicest I’ve seen. Good luck!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1937376 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 03:31:02 +0000 Brooklyn 1937376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Gryffin. That jacket is sooo beautiful. I love that it’s longer. And cutaway.

I like the idea of continuing the romantic/moody theme into Spring and Summer. I think adding more white and contrast will help me do that. </p> <p>And thanks Barbara Diane! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1936905 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 16:42:16 +0000 Barbara Diane 1936905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that your wardrobe is cohesive and your outfits are interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1936872 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 14:42:22 +0000 Anonymous 1936872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, your dark romance project has been so much fun to follow. While I love the first outfit, the white jacket takes it out of the dark romance catagory. Maybe it is dark romance moving into cool/cold spring. Every outfit is beautifully executed. Maybe summer can be romance in the midnight garden with your dark florals. Jewelry can be the moon and stars, or tinkily like a fountain of water. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1936740 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 00:15:23 +0000 Brooklyn 1936740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks efbgen! I can’t believe I am saying this, but I am going to enjoy a little dose of hot weather. </p> <p>Dianna, thank you!</p> <p>Aida, thanks for the enthusiasm. And for the suggestions along the way. You have such a great eye and I really value the contribution that you make to this forum. I am going to lighten up for Spring with more contrast. That’s one of the new elements I will be adding in. I love seeing your outfits for inspiration.</p> <p>Cardiff girl and Becky, thanks!</p> <p>Amy Isabella, thank you again for your lovely comments. I am still pondering Spring, but definitely wanting more contrast. It’s my way of lightening up for the warm weather without abandoning black. I hope I don’t let you down!</p> <p>Thanks Janet! I know why you like no 2, jacket twin </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1936735 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 00:03:26 +0000 Brooklyn 1936735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni. That is so nice, it made me a bit teary! (Feeling a bit emotional this week!) I know that you describe your style as eclectic, and when I came to the forum I described mine that way too. I struggle with a moniker because, unless it’s very broad, I don’t think it covers all the styles that interest me from time to time. And if it’s very broad, it’s not that helpful for shopping and outfit creation. So I think having a seasonal theme allows me to indulge my changing moods more. Maybe I will have more than one theme under an overarching moniker eventually but this winter I really enjoyed having a singular focus.<br /> I hope your move goes well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1936733 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 23:53:38 +0000 Anonymous 1936733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every bit of it - fabulous.

I feel really encouraged for my future wardrobe by the mix of variety and cohesion. Moving into new house and new wardrobe space draws nearer, I hope by spring, and everything must earn its place. My fave on you is outfit 4 and then 3 because I adore the burgundy and am so happy you could duplicate the boots at half price! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1936663 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 21:29:26 +0000 Dianna 1936663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Brooklyn, amazing set of outfits.&nbsp; Dark romance suits you so well.&nbsp; All outfits are amazing, but #2 with the 7 layered necklaces is to die for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-dark-romance-lucky-last#post-1936622 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 20:30:30 +0000 Aida 1936622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Aww never thought I'd say this but winter is almost over already!??
