Sometimes you can get tights that aren't quite opaque that have a discreet same-color pattern in them, like parallel lines, or a very simple and small lace pattern. This lessens the heaviness of hosiery on your legs, and is another trick I use to bridge between black tights and bare legs.</p> <p>The ones below are from Banana Republic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-867570 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 04:49:55 +0000 Beth Ann 867570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! Red and Black are classics for a reason! Now, what about red and turquoise? And, next fall, what about red and brown?</p> <p>(leaves humming "June is bustin' out all over.........") </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-867548 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 04:34:38 +0000 catgirl 867548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color and fit of that skirt - I have to go lie down to recover from it. So stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-867546 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 04:33:00 +0000 Carla 867546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you do colour blocking? I've seen some street style combos topping red skirts or pants with pink, or purple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-867532 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 04:16:31 +0000 Day Vies 867532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah Adelfa, Yes this is what I needed, remembering how to push myself away from the black -- remembering there are OTHER neutrals that go with red. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-867474 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 03:12:52 +0000 Adelfa 867474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course you look great!!! These are things I might try to "springify."</p> <p>1. When spring is near, one of the first things that starts to bug me about winter wear is black tights. I would try a lighter color, even dark gray. Fabbers love their nude microfishnets, but I've never been able to make myself wear them to work. Or anywhere, even though I bought some. You could consider if they're right for you.</p> <p>2. Keep the necklace. It reflects an incredible amount of light.</p> <p>3. The jacket is a great piece for spring because it brings in gray and white. Try tying into those lighter colors. Maybe a gray sweater, or a white button-down. You could also try a print in black and white, black and gray, white and gray, or all three.</p> <p>3. The skirt is a gorgeous color. You can wear it as far into the season as its weight will allow. You do bright-on-bright really well, so that's always an option too.</p> <p>Just some ideas, not to make you look better, but to feel springy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-867455 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:58:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 867455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous (again) Day Vies! Love the strong colour contrast in this outfit. I do hear you about the being sick of the cold weather though - we're getting a huge snowfall as I write this and I'm just DONE with it already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-867391 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:15:02 +0000 Jaime 867391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this is how you look when you are uninspired. Hmm, fascinating. To me you look inspirational yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-867309 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 00:34:57 +0000 Tanya 867309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous! Nothing wrong with that ensemble at all. Hope both you and DH feel better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-867302 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 00:26:02 +0000 Suz 867302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look sensational. I love the way the sparkles in the jacket echo the necklace (or vice versa) and add a bit of light to the picture. </p> <p>But I completely understand. I am feeling the same sense of frustration. I still need my warm clothes and they are all in a darker palette. Urgh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-867231 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 22:59:50 +0000 Tina.b 867231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've creating another amazing ensemble. The jacket is gorgeous and it is a lovely classic pairing with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-867199 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 22:38:46 +0000 Tina.b 867199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've creating another amazing ensemble.

You look great in this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-866829 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:38:33 +0000 Angie 866829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>Loving the kick pleats on that skirt. </p> <p>You sell yourself short! Feel better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-866782 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:41:45 +0000 Kalli 866782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so fantastic as usual. Can I just crawl around your wardrobe and hopefully steal away with some jackets? The red is quite cheery! I don't see anything wrong with these colors, but I guess when you live in the mid-west you're tired of greys and black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-866781 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:41:33 +0000 Thistle 866781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uninspired, pft! You look divine! Amazing. Pulled together. Sensational.</p> <p>And your amazing smile is the icing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-866780 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:41:20 +0000 Sona 866780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color palette. I am wondering if you tucked the blouse in more it may be more congruent in terms of line/sihouette? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waiting-for-spring#post-866774 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:36:34 +0000 Day Vies 866774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning YLF. I spent part of last night trying to figure out other ways to style this skirt. I'm not unhappy with this result and there is nothing wrong with it. I'm just done with the sloppy cold weather and the heavy color palettes of winter. I was under the weather for most of the weekend (so was DH) and that might have contributed to my lack of creativity with today's color palette. Styling suggestions are appreciated. </p>
