I think my mint tee is also too tight across the abdominal. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sal%e2%80%99s-challenge-6-the-dark-bottoms#post-2203943 Sun, 20 Jun 2021 20:59:43 +0000 Sal 2203943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really good outfits. I loved the first one and the one With the cream wrap vest.</p> <p>I like dark outfits in summer - and they look wonderful with your hair.</p> <p>I think the tank is fine - I probably prefer it layered but on a hot day I would wear it solo too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sal%e2%80%99s-challenge-6-the-dark-bottoms#post-2203872 Sun, 20 Jun 2021 15:39:15 +0000 Anonymous 2203872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Zaeobi. &nbsp;The search has started. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sal%e2%80%99s-challenge-6-the-dark-bottoms#post-2203841 Sun, 20 Jun 2021 11:16:26 +0000 Zaeobi 2203841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries, good luck with the search for a new mint/ aqua top - indeed it's a lovely colour combination on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sal%e2%80%99s-challenge-6-the-dark-bottoms#post-2203827 Sun, 20 Jun 2021 06:18:27 +0000 Anonymous 2203827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for commenting, ChristelJ. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sal%e2%80%99s-challenge-6-the-dark-bottoms#post-2203657 Sat, 19 Jun 2021 14:20:19 +0000 ChristelJ 2203657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so great and summery in these clamdiggers.

The only one I found a little dark was the one with the long dark cardigan. I absolutely adore the combination of red and mint green (or is it aqua?) in the last outfits. And the cream vest, cream bag and black dress combination looks sensational on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sal%e2%80%99s-challenge-6-the-dark-bottoms#post-2203615 Sat, 19 Jun 2021 12:38:43 +0000 Tanya 2203615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an excellent set of outfits!&nbsp; I especially like #15/16, the colors, shapes and jewelry are stunning together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sal%e2%80%99s-challenge-6-the-dark-bottoms#post-2203527 Fri, 18 Jun 2021 23:00:34 +0000 Anonymous 2203527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim cat, thank you for picking some favorites. &nbsp;Since wearing masks a bit less, I have been wearing more jewelry, especially summer stuff.<br />Thank you, Kellygirl, I’m happy that you like the darks and I often get inspired by your wonderful outfits. &nbsp;They look casual but not too much so and practical &nbsp;too.<br />Mirjana, your outfits always look polished and inspiring. &nbsp;I learn from your use of color.<br />Runcarla, thank you. &nbsp;I am happy with navy and black outfits all year round and have cobbled together a small group of pieces that help pull those darks together, among them those loafers. &nbsp;I find that they are a way of adding unexpected sparkle and shine to a rather dark outfit.<br />shevia, thank you. &nbsp;You look fabulous in both black and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sal%e2%80%99s-challenge-6-the-dark-bottoms#post-2203522 Fri, 18 Jun 2021 22:44:03 +0000 Anonymous 2203522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see that I am way behind on this thread. &nbsp;Sorry, grandchildren came unexpectedly so their parents could prepare for visitors.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/member/ignorantawareness/profile/">Zaeobi</a>, thank you for your astute observations. &nbsp;Some of those outfits got posted twice and some have been removed. &nbsp;You are correct. &nbsp;I am no longer happy with that tank in the last outfit, and will look for a replacement because I like the color with that silk jacket.<br />cat2, that is wise. &nbsp;I have been wearing some black although the temperatures have reached 100F on a couple days this week. &nbsp;This is not a tropical area so black feels ok. &nbsp;<div>Bonnie, thank you. &nbsp;I like black or other dark colors worn with white or brights in summer. &nbsp;Black straw is popular.<br />Catherine, thank you. &nbsp;Comfortable shoes are very important to me. &nbsp;My summer footwear must be stable and walkable, cool yet covering feet, easy off and on for hardwood floors. &nbsp;I also look for shoes that are light weight. &nbsp;I am happy that you got some inspiration.<br />ophelia, when I chose the pieces for the challenge one comment was that things looked dark, so I have been trying to lighten them up most days.<br />Time to feed the dog. &nbsp;I will be back.</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sal%e2%80%99s-challenge-6-the-dark-bottoms#post-2203281 Fri, 18 Jun 2021 01:23:35 +0000 Jaime 2203281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are especially excellent outfits!

I can't quite see what the difference is between #11-13 &amp; #16-17, but I like them both </p> <p>The only outfit I'm not as sure about though is the last one - from your posture it seems like you aren't too keen on that tank top yourself. Or am I reading into it too much? Either way, it seems like you have lots of other fab tops to have to still hold onto one that you might be unsure of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sal%e2%80%99s-challenge-6-the-dark-bottoms#post-2203151 Thu, 17 Jun 2021 14:03:59 +0000 Anonymous 2203151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Rachylou and Murph11.

(#1-3).<br /> Outfit 2 (#5/6 shows pants and under layer of an old thrifted Sweet Pea mesh top). (#7-10) shows the outer layer of silk dragon jacket worn open and closed. (#4 is a close up of medallion print with dragons).<br /> The third outfit is the black Citron silk clamdidders worn another way, with an animal print woven silk tee skirt and a long black linen cardi and old DV ankle strap shoes., gold jewelry (11-13).<br /> The next outfit uses the EF black tube skirt and an EF black silk tank with black sequins at the neckline. The topper is an old EF bone white gillet. Silver jewelry and AGL sneakers and a German leather bag finish the outfit.<br /> #(19-22 i features the third wearing of the EF black tube skirt. #22 shows the top under layer of an aqua EF tank, aqua large bag and sparkly loafers with cobalt, red, black and brown. ( #19-21) the silk Citron of Santa Monica jacket, a floral on a black background. #19 also shows the little turquoise silk bag from consignment last year.. is the tank too long? Too clingy? I never took the jacket off. I welcome your thoughts and suggestions.<br /> Are these outfits too dark? </p>
