I haven't seen anything like them and am very interested. My other two pairs of coated jeans (black, charcoal) are a little jealous! ;)</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, thank you! Hmm slimmer sounds good, hopefully I can find a way to try them out.</p> <p><b>Vicki</b>, I appreciate your extra detailed and sweet comment as always &lt;3 For black+light blue I think you personally would need to add a little white and/or metallic to echo your light hair. Maybe a cuff, the shoes, or bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels/page/2#post-1711105 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 01:22:31 +0000 Vicki 1711105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the way you do black and blush and I "see" what you mean about the clarity of the pinks as you shared on another thread. &nbsp;You look amazing and I'm going to keep trying with this black + pastels ensemble of Angie's. &nbsp;I tried, yesterday, with black and light blue, but I'm still missing an element, either with the pants or the shoes or both! &nbsp;You're showing me how it's done, Aida! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels/page/2#post-1711093 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 01:03:20 +0000 Windchime 1711093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you! The tunic is gorgeous, and it's awesome that you wore it with your leatherette capris. Thanks for posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1711083 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 00:48:09 +0000 Angie 1711083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't worry, Aida! And I answered you on Una's silver booties thread, and back on Diana's fringed jeans hack thread. Take a peek when you have a moment.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1711045 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 23:10:34 +0000 Brooklyn 1711045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your enthusiasm Aida! Re the coated white jeans. I haven't tried them yet but these are the ones. Trenery is an Aussie brand. I would prefer them to be a little less skinny but I can only try and see. I will keep you posted :)</p> <p><a href="https://m.trenery.com.au/shop/womenswear/clothing/jeans/60196089/Coated-Jean.html" rel="nofollow">https://m.trenery.com.au/shop/.....-Jean.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710935 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 18:48:47 +0000 Jenn 1710935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great outfit. You're the queen of wearing trendy pieces flawlessly, Aida. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710932 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 18:38:46 +0000 Aida 1710932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies very much :D</p> <p><b>Sterling</b>, ah thank you, I do enjoy playing with proportions. I should mentioned that I did tweak the sleeve length; at full length it was a little off, so I pushed the elastic part under to just below my elbows and billowed the rest of the sleeve over the top. Voila! 3/5 sleeves to echo the capris ^^</p> <p><b>Tanya</b>, isn't it a lovely pattern? I'd love some silky shorts with it. I saw the top too but sprung for the tunic because it was a more unique piece among my wardrobe items. Plus the woven rayon feels wonderful. Looking forward to seeing what you do with your blouse when it cools down.</p> <p><b>Brookly</b><b>n</b>, YES to coated white jeans! Have you already found a pair?? Please share when you do, I'd LOVE to also get some. I agree with you on the "leather look" of coated jeans; and I do find my coated jeans more comfortable than the leatherette, plus a bit cooler in warmer weather too.</p> <p><b>Maneera</b> and <b>Roxanna</b>, hah! My curls would be blushing if they could. If it makes you feel any better, I do spend quite a lot of time, for curls, on my hair -- 10-15 minutes daily, 30+ on wash days -- plus a whole bucket of products. I definitely don't have those "oh this? i woke up this way" curls I'll do a quick write up of what I'm currently doing to style my hair and post later in the week. Honestly the more work I put into it on wash day, the better hair I have for that wash cycle. And to be fair, this outfit was on an extra fabulously good hair day!</p> <p><b>Diane</b>, that sounds lovely! And would work with <i>your</i> pretty blush moto, too ^^ </p> <p><b>Angie</b>, I meant to post from the blog but apparently didn't. Is there a way to fix that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710918 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 18:12:11 +0000 Angie 1710918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710913 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 17:56:29 +0000 Amy 1710913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710901 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 17:27:15 +0000 Jane 1710901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

As a fellow curly, I lust over it and bemoan the state of my curls whenever she posts a WIW too :)</p> <p>Aida - this is perfection. That blush pink moto looks fabulous, and is making me covet it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710787 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 13:43:40 +0000 Anonymous 1710787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I adore this floral tunic/capri pant pairing and the jacket is so perfect with it. The colours in the floral are pretty and there's just the right amount of black in the print to make it all cohesive. Fab proportions too.</p> <p>I actually have a 1 metre length of some Dolce and Gabanna fabric which is large blush tulips on an black background. I'm excited to design something to wear over skinny crops now :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710781 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 13:38:03 +0000 harmonica 1710781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colour palette for you and the outfit is has your signature all over!

Is AMAZING! You look gorgeously summery here...even though you're wearing black. Love the accessories. And I am blown away by your perfect curls. Seriously - how do you do it??? I need a lesson!!! My curls are driving me NUTS as they are frizzy as hell these days! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710739 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 11:54:15 +0000 Elizabeth P 1710739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection!&nbsp; As Sterling says, Queen of Proportions.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710723 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 11:29:27 +0000 skylurker 1710723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful palette, love the pairing of the tunic with the pink moto and gold clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710692 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 10:10:59 +0000 Summer 1710692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely on you, Aida.&nbsp; I have to admit that blush and black looks especially good on those with dark hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710688 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 09:35:53 +0000 Ledonna N. 1710688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let me pick my jaw up.off the floor. Lol okay loving this look. It is kind of rocker Chic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710685 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 09:29:52 +0000 Brooklyn 1710685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back! You haven't posted in ages. Your outfit is really pretty. I love the floral tunic and those leatherette cropped pants get me everytime. Leather in summer is so unexpected but they still look seasonal. I am currently thinking about a pair of coated white jeans (cropped) for our upcoming summer (I think coating gives a leather vibe). Somehow I think you would approve </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0808-black-pastels#post-1710635 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 04:01:10 +0000 JAileen 1710635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black and pastels really work for you.

So clever to mix the blush with that yellow black and silvery white top! I guess the top has the blush in it also but the yellow pops.&nbsp; </p>
