I've been realizing so more and more as I see my pictures every day. I don't do much to take care of it apart from trying not to blow dry my hair more than a few times a month. I need to step up and start taking better care of my best accessory! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63845 Tue, 05 May 2009 16:25:58 +0000 Angie 63845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna – so CUTE! Love the banded top with the long beads. </p> <p>Kari – KILLER. Your style evolves daily. You go girl! </p> <p>Sarah - Gorgeous! With ballet flats, that would be an Angie outfit</p> <p>Loulou – hope boyfriend is okay. Kidney stones are ghastly. Hang in there. </p> <p>Kristin – so elegant! Love that blue cardi and bag. Was it from Forth and Towne? </p> <p>Jean – super fab and true to your style! </p> <p>Niva – Amazing! So polished and professional. Your hair is your BEST accessory. </p> <p>Tam – fably androgynous! Love it. </p> <p>Bella – Beautiful! Adore those beads. </p> <p>Eva – Wonderful! I saw you in this outfit yesterday and your cream trench looked superb with it. </p> <p>Another yummy interpretation. I’m impressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63789 Tue, 05 May 2009 13:57:14 +0000 Kristen 63789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, LOVE the way the bright pearls bring out the stripes in the blouse. It's all black, but there's a lot of texture going on, and that comes out.</p> <p>Eva, my goodness you always look so long and lean! Love the sweater; it keeps the theme going and lets you enjoy the spring day. The shoes are a great finishing touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63785 Tue, 05 May 2009 13:35:22 +0000 Eva 63785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pops of colors in your shoes, Hanna and Kari<br /> Sara, you look so elegent.<br /> Kristen, you look great in your skirt.<br /> Greenglove, love the added scarf to your trench<br /> Niva, love the waistcoat look on you<br /> Yublocka, great addition to the thread<br /> Bella, also love your waistcoat.</p> <p>Mr. Black was my most difficult day. I think it is because I wear black virtually every day and I wanted to do something different. I didn't want to be in all black on a nice spring day. Ultimately, I decided to add a pop of color with my shoes. Mrs. White also had influence. </p> <p><a href="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/Clue%20Theme/IMG_4240.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i281.photobucket.com/al.....G_4240.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63782 Tue, 05 May 2009 13:07:18 +0000 bella 63782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all look so great!<br /> Hanna - What a fabulous outfit, I love the pink shoes.<br /> Kari - the flower is the perfect touch!<br /> Sarah - simply fabulous blouse, swoon!<br /> Kristen - I already commented on your pictures on flickr, you are sizzlin'!<br /> Jean - great trench, very appropriate for the occasion!<br /> Niva - waistcoat is perfect I had the same idea.<br /> tam - glad you joined, great contribution!</p> <p>I didn't get a chance to post my outfit yesterday.For some reason, after 6pm or so, I couldn't access the website. Did anybody else have the same problem?</p> <p>Anyways, here is my Mr. Black:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26160917@N03/3502831844/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....502831844/</a></p> <p>I will post Professor Plum later in the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63773 Tue, 05 May 2009 11:43:11 +0000 LoP 63773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone looks great! I love how black and white can be so different on different styles and bodies.</p> <p>I apologize for stopping the challenge half way because of a mini-vacation and extreme workload around it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63772 Tue, 05 May 2009 11:02:46 +0000 Kristen 63772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GG, love the trench; it is very mysterious and sleek. </p> <p>FYI, I removed the cuff because the dress and heels had so much attitude the cuff was pushing the whole look a little too far beyond that for the office. As it is, I am hands-down the most dressed-up person there; we all wear business attire, but most people wear it in sloppy, uncoordinated ways. It's either severe suits and a plain shell with no accessories for the women, or too-short ties with mismatched shirts for the men. I stand out as it is, and the cuff felt like it was going to be over-the-top for that. As it turned out, I think I made the right choice; I got tons of compliments yesterday, but people were almost intimidated by the outfit! Too funny.</p> <p>Niva, I LOVE the new waistcoat on you, and that necklace is gorgeous! That's a pop of color I can get behind. :)</p> <p>Tam, love the head-to-toe black, and especially the striped vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63770 Tue, 05 May 2009 10:50:43 +0000 hanna 63770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>tam, i am so glad you found time to join the party! i LOVE your head-to-toe mr black, you look amazing! i always struggle a little bit with wide legged pants but you pull them off perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63726 Mon, 04 May 2009 21:57:13 +0000 yublocka 63726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna I was bummed I was still away last week and missed this challenge - so fun!!! Especially love your writeups on the characters. So I'll try for the last 2 days:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/3502522142/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/3502522142/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63721 Mon, 04 May 2009 21:48:17 +0000 Vani 63721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna, I know! I was smiling away when I saw your outfit! In addition we're both trying the look for the first time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63707 Mon, 04 May 2009 20:50:01 +0000 medusa 63707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You all look great. It's fun to see the different interpretations of the character. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63706 Mon, 04 May 2009 20:49:33 +0000 hanna 63706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>niva you look great! i'm so tickled that we had the same idea of a waistcoat for mr black </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63666 Mon, 04 May 2009 17:49:43 +0000 Vani 63666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna, Fab! The graphic tee is so fun and the waistcoat goes perfectly with it. I love how you're wearing the beads too. </p> <p>Kari, Love the shirt! Awesome how you worked in the character details with the accessories. I'm still on the fence on being able to sport a flower pin. </p> <p>Sarah, If you would be kind enough to give me your address, I plan to sneak in one night and plunder your wardrobe, in its entirety. Abs Fabulous!</p> <p>Kristen - My word! What a sexy vixen you are! Femme Fatale it is. That is such a beautiful blue, it instantly soothed my eyes. And ditto Hanna, I'm getting Maltese Falcon vibes :-D</p> <p>GG - You rock that trench! I love your style!</p> <p>My outfit looks bla now that I've seen all these outfits :-)</p> <p>I was trying to channel the stuffy(?) and mysterious Mr. Black, hence the grey. But I also wanted to hint at his various dalliances (he must have had something to draw the ladies no?) and hence the red necklace. Then I was reminded of the whole "pop of color" thread here and desperately tried to find something else red, but nada, zilch. This is the nth time I have wished I had a pair of red shoes, so off to make that purchase now. Ooh, I'm sporting my newly acquired waistcoat. What do you think?</p> <p><a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=black.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....=black.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=black2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....black2.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63653 Mon, 04 May 2009 17:08:45 +0000 hanna 63653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooo, everyone looks gorgeous!</p> <p>thank you, everyone, for the encouragement on the waistcoat/graphic tee combo. i wasn't sure i could pull off a waistcoat, but i figure theme week is a good time to break out of that box!</p> <p>kari, i'm loving how you work in the little hints to mr black's dalliances with the flower pin and red shoes!<br /> sara, gorgeous as ever. i may have to steal that top from you...<br /> kristen, i'm in love with the blue on that black. i could totally see you in a black and white noir detective flick... very maltese falcon ;)<br /> GG, oh you wear a trench so well! i always look like a little girl playing dress up when i try one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63631 Mon, 04 May 2009 16:06:03 +0000 greenglove 63631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna,<br /> I am finally participating. I love your waistcoat and the red shoes!<br /> Kari, great pin!<br /> Sara, gorgeous and so polished!<br /> Kristen,<br /> You look so svelte, love the blue cardi with the black!! Why must you remove bracelet for work? I have never had a 9 to 5 so it is probably a dumb question but curious.<br /> My Mr. black is a favorite black trench that gathers in the back, it was raining:<br /> <a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e265/greenglove/raincoat.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i41.photobucket.com/alb.....incoat.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63623 Mon, 04 May 2009 15:44:51 +0000 Kristen 63623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna-love the reimaging. Great use of a waistcoat AND a graphic tee! Oooh, two trends and a theme! </p> <p>Kari, love the flower and shoes as Mr. Black's links to the ladies. Great outfit even without a theme! :)</p> <p>Sara: That is such a great blouse.</p> <p>My take on Mr. Black was as a throwback to the mysterious dames of pulp crime novels from the 40s. The kind that "just walked in and you knew they were trouble." The kind that end up DEAD, just like our mysterious Mr. Black.<br /> (This mood is probably because I had a manicure this weekend, and got a dark cherry polish on my fingers for the first time. It's made me feel very femme fatale! Hee!)</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3501010238/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....501010238/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3500193261/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....otostream/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3501010574/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....otostream/</a></p> <p>(I ended up removing the silver cuff bracelet; it's very fab, but a bit too much for the office. *g*) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63618 Mon, 04 May 2009 15:25:03 +0000 Louise 63618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna i love your top and waistcoat- no outfit from me today had it all planned out last night but had to take my boyfriend to A &#38; E this morning with kidney stones so ended up dragging on what i wore yesterday </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-day-6-poor-mr-black#post-63616 Mon, 04 May 2009 14:52:03 +0000 sinead 63616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna, the vest and graphic tee are so cute on you-wait, no- cute is not the word I want.
