You and lyn both nailed it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---plaid-with-black-and-the-new-cardigan#post-1394593 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 11:12:23 +0000 Astrid 1394593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, Lyn!

We wear almost the same outfit, today...LOL. (pls,&nbsp;excuse the messy hair, I use to fix my hair last thing before leaving) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---plaid-with-black-and-the-new-cardigan#post-1394571 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 07:58:13 +0000 Astrid 1394571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sara! I don't really wear makeup besides mascara. Although it would probably help.</p> <p>Thanks PalmFronds!</p> <p>Thanks Una! The beanie sounds like a good strategy for you. </p> <p>Thanks Shevia! It was the same for me. When I saw it I just had to buy it, even though it's black and a men's shirt.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---plaid-with-black-and-the-new-cardigan#post-1394478 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 02:52:38 +0000 Jaime 1394478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Blues Brothers top completely charmed me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---plaid-with-black-and-the-new-cardigan#post-1394331 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 23:58:48 +0000 catgirl 1394331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am feeling the same about black recently for some reason - it's feeling harsher. And yet I ADORE black. I have been wearing my off-white beanie to help counter the black. I think you look great and the shirt is so much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---plaid-with-black-and-the-new-cardigan#post-1394313 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 23:33:14 +0000 PalmFronds 1394313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the graphic t and plaid skirt combo, very cool </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---plaid-with-black-and-the-new-cardigan#post-1394196 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 21:14:26 +0000 Sara L. 1394196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live the graphic tee and cardigan together. This is a combination I want to wear more often this winter. You could try a little more makeup if the black washes you out. Maybe some blush. That's what I do sometimes when colors don't look that good on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---plaid-with-black-and-the-new-cardigan#post-1394135 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 20:12:43 +0000 Astrid 1394135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tania! I'm only wearing layered hose starting fall. It's just too cold otherwise. All good tips you're sharing - I guess I'm not realling working on it because I have very few truly black items left. There's this T-shirt, a black layering turtleneck and two black blazers I rarely wear. I think that's it. So the only item I want to make work is this one. It seems pointless to cover the graphic print with a scarf, but I might try to go with a different topper instead in the future.</p> <p>Thanks DEB! </p> <p>Thanks Jackie! Strange it's so dark for you, on my screen this looks very clear. Well, doesn't matter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---plaid-with-black-and-the-new-cardigan#post-1393979 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 15:39:45 +0000 jackiec 1393979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't see too many details on my screen - it reads very dark to me. However, I do LOVE the pairing of the graphic tee with the plaid skirt. It's kind of a private school girl meets rocker-chic-concert-going-girl look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---plaid-with-black-and-the-new-cardigan#post-1393972 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 15:37:00 +0000 Deb 1393972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun tee shirt with the skirt, and the hose and the cardigan look fine. I can see what you mean about the black though. May need to separate the cardigan and tee, and exchange one or the other for something lighter or brighter, in a colour you prefer near your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---plaid-with-black-and-the-new-cardigan#post-1393885 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 12:08:14 +0000 Tania 1393885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the double hose looks fine, but I am having trouble picking out the detail from the photo on my screen.&nbsp; Thanks for the idea!&nbsp; I avoid wearing dresses and skirts because I get cold so easily, but that might help.&nbsp; </p> <p>Re: black near the face, I've often thought the same about myself.&nbsp;&nbsp;These are some ideas that have crossed my mind:</p> <p>a) pairing the black top&nbsp;with a topper&nbsp;color that enhances my face.&nbsp; </p> <p>b)&nbsp;changing color contrast around the face.&nbsp; A black top contrasts strongly with my skin.&nbsp; Sometimes I think about changing the contrast on my face (removing my dark brown glasses/wearing contacts), adding contrast and texture (a scarf, and/or jewelry/earrings),&nbsp;pulling back my hair to&nbsp;make&nbsp;my hair line&nbsp;stronger/more visual,&nbsp;or maybe wearing some color on my face.&nbsp; I am still working on these, as I have been no contacts/no make-up/no adornment for a while, but I am slowly starting to add a few things slowly to the arsenal.&nbsp; </p> <p>Anyway, I think&nbsp;your smile brightens your face!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---plaid-with-black-and-the-new-cardigan#post-1393879 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 11:28:28 +0000 Astrid 1393879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the first time I'm wearing the outfit I created when I tried to decide whether or not I should keep the cardigan. I really like this, but with the better light you can definitely see that the black near my face doesn't suit me and makes me look tired. I layered two pairs of black hose (solid and textured) which makes them look like opaques. Does it look alright? I figured it looks kind of intentional paired with the black T-shirt.</p>
