Well done, you look fab! I wish I could pull off a colour as strong and striking as that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-777113 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 07:46:19 +0000 Kiwichik 777113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG cobalt heaven - jacket, oxfords, T - suffering from serious green eyed monster. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-777111 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 07:43:03 +0000 Asingh 777111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, what's not to love about this outfit! I really like how you've paired you cobalt jacket with a white top and skinnies! And the metallic clutch adds a dash of glitter. What I like the most is that lovely bird scarf. Great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-777097 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 06:56:12 +0000 Jenava 777097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally awesome! I tried on a pair of a blue suede loafers in this shade today and fell in love. They didn't fit in my budget, and besides I don't have the pieces you have here to pull off such an awesome outfit.

Your instincts about the blue of the shoes worked out perfectly. You are gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-777005 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 02:59:10 +0000 Tina 777005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What stands out to me is the perfect balance of color and proportion. This shade of blue is definitely your color! Love this silhouette on you. The shoes are unique in a good way:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-776982 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 02:22:32 +0000 Debora 776982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>STUNNING! Love you in blue, Janet, and what you said about the different shades makes perfect sense. Good luck and keep us posted about your little pug. Hope her surgery goes well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-776979 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 02:15:41 +0000 Aida 776979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhh SUCH a perfect shade of cobalt!! This is stunning Janet, I love that you have so many just-slightly-differing shades of cobalt here. Plus I just don't know how you manage NOT to wear that gorgeous moto everywhere (I'd have a hard time!). The simplicity of your clutch here is also very striking against all the deep color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-776899 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:18:27 +0000 Caro in Oz 776899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of my favourites for sure - you look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-776811 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 23:50:34 +0000 Anonymous 776811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit!

I too prefer that the shoe is mutted and then it's even cooler that the heel of said shoe is on the viberant side.</p> <p>Glad you excaped the clock tower greese free, it sounds like a blast- like the movie Hugo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-776750 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:41:24 +0000 Astrid 776750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

Just perfect. I here you on the oxfords. My cobalt booties are quite bright and I am careful about wearing them with other cobalt items due to the matchy matchy thing. The way you are wearing these is prefect.</p> <p>Permission to pin? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-776733 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:26:09 +0000 Anonymous 776733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weee...

We've contacted the rescue organization to offer to adopt her as soon as she's ready for a forever home. I hope we get her! She's all black but with one little white paw, and she just looks like the sweetest, most playful thing ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-776717 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:10:25 +0000 annagybe 776717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's the kind of matching that Susie Bubble would do in a toned down way. I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-776714 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:07:43 +0000 JR 776714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*plonk*</p> <p>Cobalt blue teamed with white and very dark navy. Gorgeous scarf. To-die-for-shoes. Metallic clutch. Be still, my beating heart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-776687 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:50:35 +0000 pil 776687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Janet, I love this! I actually think the muted blue shoe works better than if they were brighter. You still know they're blue but not BLUE.</p> <p>Oh, and I saw the cutest little black pug puppy at TJ Maxx the other day : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-776686 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:50:19 +0000 Suz 776686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My only suggestion is that I would like you to send me an invitation to join you! </p> <p>Okay, I know it's a bit late for that. But this is a beautiful outfit and looks totally appropriate to your day's plan. That blue jacket is amazing on you, and I agree that the heels on the shoe are the perfect completing touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---im-so-blue-but-not-so-copycat#post-776669 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:37:59 +0000 Janet 776669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, my blogger copycat plan got set aside for today. I will do the copycat outfit next week, but today's last-minute plans called for flat comfy shoes, since I found out at the last minute I'd be taking photos of some city promotion and arts folks and a clock restorer in the clock tower where my studio is. This requires some climbing around but also jeopardized my white shirt! I think I managed to escape grease-free -- the clock room is way cool (kind of steampunk with lots of gears and of course the giant clock faces), but it's a mess. I also needed to wear something worthy of hosting some creatives (graphic designers, etc.) at my studio and going out for sushi with them tonight. Casual but not too casual. </p> <p>I've been itching to wear my blue cobalt leather moto, and I decided to just go for broke with the blue. Bird scarf, check. Blue oxfords, check. Even a blue ring. Jeans are very dark wash. I wanted to wear the light silk white top because my studio's heat is working a bit overtime these days as we sort out the cranky old steam heat in this building. My metallic clutch is getting a workout this week.</p> <p>I remember when I posted these oxfords for a yay/nay, someone (Una?) expressed reservations that they weren't a vibrant blue. I actually like that they're not really bright, but the soles are! I'd feel TOO matchy-garanimals if the shoes matched this jacket too closely, but I love that just that little slice of sole picks up the exact vibrant color of the jacket. </p> <p>Suggestions and opinions welcome! </p>
