The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is one of my favorite books. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-white-15#post-1865350 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 04:48:09 +0000 Brooklyn 1865350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look good but to lighten things up I would try cognac shoes and a cognac belt. Gold necklace. And a lighter coloured jacket or cardigan. Light grey or tan would look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-white-15#post-1865336 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 04:18:59 +0000 karen13 1865336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that shirt. How about a cardigan that has a grey or black background but a floral print with some lightness to it. I have a lot of dark colors in my wardrobe, and have recently noticed they are better for me if the are prints with splashes of color or white.</p> <p>BTW, welcome to YFL - I am a long time Heinlein fan via my dad if that is what your user name is referencing. The outfit you posted looks great, so these suggestions are only gilding the lily! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-white-15#post-1865297 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 02:26:16 +0000 Anonymous 1865297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lighter pants and footwear and pearls would be great. I like mixing florals with stripes. Do you have a floral scarf? The shirt fits you beautifully and needs to be worn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-white-15#post-1865292 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 02:07:31 +0000 tanstaafl 1865292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. I don’t have many of the things mentioned as my current accessories are fairly minimal. I will keep an eye out for a new scarf that will work, or for some pearls. </p> <p>I have a few ideas to try next time that I can work with out of my closet, like the grey pants, a colorful cardi, and lighter footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-white-15#post-1865287 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 01:56:40 +0000 Irina 1865287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try a solid color scarf or a boyfriend cardigan in jewel colors. Love the idea to add pearls. I wear mine with black and white outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-white-15#post-1865281 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 01:25:42 +0000 Aida 1865281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a cream or tan cardigan+shoes, gray pants, and a gold or silver belt could be a fun lighter mixed neutrals look. Swapping the dark footwear for cognac and adding some light jewelry could also work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-white-15#post-1865232 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 23:13:10 +0000 rachylou 1865232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also thought jewelry - or a different colour belt... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-white-15#post-1865220 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 22:03:52 +0000 SarahD8 1865220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah, that shirt really flatters your figure! (Which the cardi hides a bit, although I do like the pattern mix.)</p> <p>Have you tried the shirt with gray pants?</p> <p>How about a colored scarf at the neck? That would also provide some opportunity for pattern mixing. You could repeat the scarf's main color with your belt or shoes.</p> <p>I like Cat's pearl idea too! Bringing out the white stripes with the luster of pearls would be so pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-white-15#post-1865203 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 21:24:36 +0000 The Cat 1865203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice shirt How about wearing white pearls? There are many possibilities in addition to the traditional pearl necklaces, i.e. wearing one or more chunky pearls as pendants.</p> <p>Or how about a white scarf or shawl with a black pattern (i.e. polkadots or checks)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-white-15#post-1865199 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 21:13:52 +0000 tanstaafl 1865199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How can I lighten up my look with this shirt? It is an black shirt with white stripes, originally fromexpress many years ago. I always wear it with black pants (all my pants for work are black or grey). I love how it fits, but it always seems so dark. Today I tried to mix patterns a bit and added a marled black and white shawl collar cardigan, but other than staying nice and warm, I don’t think it helps the outfit any. </p> <p>How else can I style this shirt? </p>
