The details on the booties and the metallic belt make this outfit a WOW! And as @MsKatieKat</p> <p> <div><br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/member/mskatiekat/" rel="nofollow"></a> </div></p> <p> <div></p> <p> &lt;span class="watch"&gt;</p> <p> </div></p> <p> pointed out: you look hot! So super thumbs up for the combo.</p> <p>I hope you had fun the concert! (I am still waiting for a chance to see Tame Impala live, so I am a bit jealous here... hehehe)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---navy-black-keeping-it-simple#post-1045503 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 15:54:34 +0000 Susie 1045503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others- this is fab on you. The sleeves, belt and boots add such style. And I agree with you on the appeal of simple pieces that have an element of interest. I recently wore a simple black top that has a faux leather pocket. And it felt so right. </p> <p>I too hope the mixed media trend holds for a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---navy-black-keeping-it-simple#post-1045485 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 15:12:01 +0000 Day Vies 1045485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect for a concert. I love the belt and the boots WOW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---navy-black-keeping-it-simple#post-1045461 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 13:51:45 +0000 Janet 1045461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just revisited these pics because there is something about an outfit like this that feels so comfortable and *me* at my most effortless. Obviously, this is a really casual look. My life would allow me to wear this every day but I like mixing it up more, and some days I want color or a different silhouette. I'm trying to pinpoint why this works for me so well and how I can continue to translate what works for this look into other outfits and occasions for me. </p> <p>One thing I think that's working is the combination of simplicity and detail. Relatively few pieces. It's a tee and jeans, so in theory it can't get much simpler. But when I do something as simple as a tee and jeans, I make sure the tee has something distinctive -- in this case, the mixed media, which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE. Seriously, I'm holding myself back from grabbing up every mixed media piece I see in the stores. I wonder if this trend may have staying power for someone with my kind of style, or whether it will look hopelessly 2013 in a couple of years. </p> <p>Anybody else have any thoughts or observations? I don't foresee myself defaulting to this as a uniform but lately I am looking to learn from each outfit's successes and failures. </p> <p>Oh, and I meant to say thank you for the comments on my hair! I just got it cut and colored the day before, and the cut is pretty much what I've had of late, but we switched up the color -- there is a very subtle ombre going on in layers at the ends, and it works well with my hair wavy, as I left it yesterday since it was a warm and humid day. Maybe next time I'll go less subtle with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---navy-black-keeping-it-simple#post-1045324 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 04:27:56 +0000 Janet 1045324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks everybody! Wow, maybe I should go back and find that shirt in every color? :-D</p> <p>I think these are my latest favorite jeans. They're a little roomy, but I like that about them.</p> <p>The concert was a blast! So tired now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---navy-black-keeping-it-simple#post-1045320 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 04:24:20 +0000 Neel 1045320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a figure! &nbsp;And I am not the only one who noticed it! &nbsp;Just wow!</p> <p>Rock on gal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---navy-black-keeping-it-simple#post-1045317 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 04:15:25 +0000 Sona 1045317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the belt and the shoes are super drool worthy.

It's just crisp and flattering all around. Plus the boots and accessories are jazzing it up.

Period. 1045174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! Tomboy never looks as wonderful as it does on someone like you who has a very girlish figure! Tomboyish on me looks masculine.
