I have never tried a black top before, or topper. I don't own any. I think black washes me out. Maybe I will post a pic of myself in the two LBD's I own and put it to the YLF audience.</p> <p> My son enjoyed his birthday. Especially the presents! He appreciated that I wore his favorite colors. Today he is going for his driving permit. He's very nervous about driving. I hope that will make him safe and careful. (I'm sure everyone hopes that!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-blues#post-1346731 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 02:34:10 +0000 Suz 1346731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love how the shorts bookend with your hair! And how sweet of you to honour your son's BD with blue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-blues#post-1346693 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 01:47:16 +0000 jackiec 1346693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look nice! Great suggestions already. More importantly congratulations on your son's birthday :). (And so nice of you to dress with him in mind). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-blues#post-1346686 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 01:37:16 +0000 Angie 1346686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice combination of blouse and shorts. Fashionable fits, and great addition of the necklace.&nbsp;A black top would bookend the black sandals really well too. How about a black topper?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-blues#post-1346668 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 01:15:05 +0000 Staysfit 1346668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback!</p> <p>I agree a softer toned sandal would look better with this. I picked the black because it is one of my sons favorites. I don't own any other Gizeh's though and I thought they went well with the necklace. </p> <p>Good suggestion to tuck the camisole. Im not sure why I didn't do that? </p> <p>I also somehow made it through the day without a watch! Very unlike me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-blues#post-1346535 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 22:39:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1346535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit on you! That blouse is sumptuous looking. I like the way the solid colors allow your jewelry to shine. I also would like to see sandals in a brown tone, though the dark ones are fine, especially considering that they are sandals and quite bare ones (so they add a fairly light dose of black). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-blues#post-1346526 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 22:30:28 +0000 Aida 1346526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very rich looking color palette. I'd like to see the camisole tucked for a cleaner look (which would work with your descriptor "Simple"). LOVE that necklace, wow. I do find the black sandals just a wee bit harsh though. Do you have any gold, bronze, brown, or cognac sandals? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-blues#post-1346412 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 20:55:43 +0000 Staysfit 1346412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today is my son's 16th birthday, and his favorite color is blue.&nbsp; I hardly ever wear blue, except for jeans.&nbsp;To honor&nbsp;him I put together this outfit with his three favorite colors, blue, brown and black - plus green which is one of mine.</p> <p>Blue silk blouse -J Crew<br />camisole top (blue)<br />Brown shorts - J Crew<br />Black Birk's<br />Statement Necklace (Charm and Chain)<br />Assorted Bangles - real and costume<br />Olive Green Topper - Bobeau</p> <p>I have tried to keep new style descriptor words in mind as I picked out my clothes. &nbsp;They are <b>Easy</b> (for comfort, casual, approachable), <b>Creative</b> (for arty, eclectic, boho nuances), <b>Calm</b> (low contrast, muted colors, understated elegance), <b>Graceful</b> (feminine, athletic,&nbsp;light, refined, tasteful, polished), and <b>Simple</b> (classic, unfussy). &nbsp;</p> <p>It's similar to another outfit I posted recently only I used a different topper, and shorts this time, instead of leggings. &nbsp;(Oh, and the top is a different color).<br />What do you think? &nbsp;</p>
