(pssssst....sleeves on the jacket are a little long - scrunch or fold, maybe). You wear cobalt with the best of them :). LOVE the oxfords! </p> <p>I hear you on the weather and dressing challenges as they change in one day - but I have the opposite problem - always cold. I'm sure you'll figure it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-941277 Sat, 25 May 2013 03:19:48 +0000 Anonymous 941277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving you in black and blue.&nbsp; Humidity and wather changes are really tough.&nbsp; I loved living in Southern California where there was no humidity and every day was beautiful and sunny, but the mornings and evenings were cool.&nbsp; Perfect weather to dress with style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-941262 Sat, 25 May 2013 02:52:19 +0000 Sarah A 941262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yuck on the weather! I love that T though the draping hem is great and really fun juxtaposition with the blazer in #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-941251 Sat, 25 May 2013 02:44:38 +0000 Diana 941251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I got caught earlier this evening in the giant rainstorm. Wearing, as expected, completely inappropriate shoes (sandals). Sigh. At least I had an umbrella and trench today. Still, I am 0 for 5 this week. Woohoo? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-941122 Fri, 24 May 2013 23:07:09 +0000 Mochi 941122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sing it, sister, re the awful, sticky, muggy (and now, miserable wet) Boston weather. I'm having trouble sleeping myself.&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, I like both these looks a lot. Loads of arty flair. You look (if not feel) fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-941018 Fri, 24 May 2013 20:33:22 +0000 rae 941018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool outfit, but man do I hear you on humidity! Cannot stand it, unless I'm on vacation and wearing a swimsuit 24/7. Even then, I'd prefer a dry heat. &nbsp;Hope the moisture in the air leaves you soon. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-941002 Fri, 24 May 2013 20:07:28 +0000 Diana 941002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies!&nbsp; I'm glad I'm not the only one who is unimpressed with the weather.&nbsp; </p> <p>Zap, me too!&nbsp; I had my AC set at a ridiculous 68 degrees last night because it was the only way it would stay on long enough to get the humidity out of the bedroom air.&nbsp; <br />And haha, you are right, I did post <i>the most important WIW.</i>&nbsp; By the way, I owe you guys some more wedding/honeymoon/rehearsal dinner pics.&nbsp; They are coming!</p> <p>Kristin, ooh, I'll have to look at those Loft pants too.&nbsp; And Peri just posted some Anthro ones that look promising too.<br />We drove up the CA coast from Ventura County to SF for the honeymoon.&nbsp; Took a little jaunt inland to Santa Ynez for some wine tasting, and also stopped at Big Sur, Carmel, Monterey, etc.&nbsp; It was wonderful!<br />And LOL, you should send your kids out here to dig our car out of the snow here in Boston next winter.&nbsp; That'll cure them of any love of snow, ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-940632 Fri, 24 May 2013 09:34:05 +0000 Suz 940632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, you look terrific in your outfit. Love the T and the jacket's colour is stunning on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I hear you on the weather. We went from 23 degrees C and sunny with high humidity one day (so it felt much, much hotter)&nbsp;to 7 degrees and raining with high winds the next (so it felt much colder). It is literally impossible to be prepared for that without carrying a suitcase.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-940622 Fri, 24 May 2013 08:51:32 +0000 Anonymous 940622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, you look fab despite the weather. What a great asymmetrical top and the pairing with blue is lovely. I also, always love your oxfords. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-940610 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:38:25 +0000 Kristin SF 940610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit, especially that Allsaints tee!</p> <p>I hope the linen pants work out for you, too. I'm also eyeing <a href="http://www.loft.com/loft/catalog/productDetails.jsp?skuId=13486013&amp;defaultColor=6600&amp;prodId=308725" rel="nofollow">these pants at Loft</a>, waiting for a sale. I think these might work, a la <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/05/21/soft-wide-trousers-are-fab-in-motion/" rel="nofollow">Angie's recent post on flowy pants</a>.</p> <p>Oh did you spend your honeymoon in SF, how fun!</p> <p>Yes, we have perfect weather. My husband and I talk once in a while about moving back to the east coast (we are from Boston and NY) but honestly, the weather is what kills us.</p> <p>Although my kids complain about our lack of snow! The grass is always greener.... I guess we have to make the drive up to Tahoe this winter.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-940607 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:30:37 +0000 rute 940607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! Love the blouse and the two colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-940520 Fri, 24 May 2013 03:33:00 +0000 Mo 940520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I moan about the FL heat and humidity, but the 50's and wind are getting to me here in Tahoe about now. &nbsp;I could use some good temperate weather. &nbsp;Sick of too hot or too cold. &nbsp;<br />sincerely,<br />Goldilocks</p> <p>I love your blue and black ensemble. &nbsp;That asymmetrical hem is great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-940516 Fri, 24 May 2013 03:30:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 940516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another humidity hater here! I can't stand it when just any sort of effort makes you all sweaty and gross feeling.</p> <p>You look darn fab though despite your weather. LOVE black and blue together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-940513 Fri, 24 May 2013 03:28:42 +0000 Anonymous 940513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Preaching to the choir here...I HATE humidity, I have has my AC running even thought it is not hot, because I can't take it.<br /> You look gorgeous ... and side note... you did post *the* WIW<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wedding-photos" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ing-photos</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-940504 Fri, 24 May 2013 03:24:16 +0000 celia 940504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dressing for changing weather is not easy and sometimes as the temperatures change during the day it can become uncomfortable.<br />But,and this is a big but, you looked fabulous in your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-blue-plus-a-weather-rant#post-940437 Fri, 24 May 2013 02:44:45 +0000 Diana 940437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have been mostly wearing FFBOs since getting back from honeymoon but wanted to post a WIW since it's been forever since I've done one!&nbsp; Doing all blacks and blues today.&nbsp; Really liked this outfit except I was overheating today (see rant below), especially my feet (and I <i>hate</i> having hot feet).&nbsp; I think the culprit was the awful, non-breathable trouser socks (in trash now) combined with also not-very-breathable patent leather in the icky humidity.<br />Wearing: Allsaints big tee, Kut jeans, Pretty Nana oxfords, Tinley Road blazer</p> <p>----weather rant below (or just skip to the photos if you want!)----<br />Every day this week has been icky and grey and super humid.&nbsp; I <b>hate</b> humidity pretty much more than any other weather condition there is.&nbsp; Especially horrid considering I just came back from 10 days of <i>perfect</i> weather in CA (seriously, we didn't even see a single speck of fog in SF).&nbsp; Anyway, I think I've forgotten how to dress for this weather.&nbsp; I have messed up with my outfits weather-wise <i>every single day this week.</i>&nbsp; Layering works but only on the top!&nbsp; You can't really layer bottoms or shoes...<br />Monday: jeans, oxfords, blouse, jacket.&nbsp; ROASTING (or more accurately, STEAMING.)<br />Tuesday: skirt, tee, sandals.&nbsp; Fine in the morning but somehow during the day it became freezing by the evening commute.&nbsp; Also, caught in big rainstorm.<br />Wednesday: crops, top, sandals, denim jacket.&nbsp; Again, fine in morning, freezing (especially lower legs) in evening.<br />Thursday (today): the outfit pictured here. Too hot/sticky all day.<br />Ugh.&nbsp; I just can't get it right.&nbsp; Have decided that I need light, long, flowy pants and skirts.&nbsp; Hope the Gap linen pants work out because I think they'd be perfect w/ some sandals for this weather.&nbsp; I think I may also try to refresh my maxi skirt collection too.&nbsp; <br />&lt;/rant&gt; </p>
