I need to figure out how. (Without a statement necklace I am sort of doomed but that is obviously a wardrobe hole). Fun, spunky, fresh, and luxe all at once.&nbsp;</p> <p>The dress is terrific on you; no wonder you are enjoying it. I can see that it is super versatile.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue---a-bruiser-of-two-styles#post-1425448 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 01:23:08 +0000 Angie 1425448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look killer sensational in #4. (I want your weather, Vicki. It's so mild and conducive to the best fashionable looks).&nbsp;</p> <p>You look fabulous in the shirt dress too. Your hair - a kinky bob - is looking GREAT. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue---a-bruiser-of-two-styles#post-1425447 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 01:22:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 1425447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits Vicki. Being a pants person I have to go with the first one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue---a-bruiser-of-two-styles#post-1425434 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:59:12 +0000 Jaime 1425434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So gorgeous and so versatile - I mean you! I love the first outfit but in some ways am more impressed with the dress - it fits you so perfectly! You make it so chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue---a-bruiser-of-two-styles#post-1425423 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:46:22 +0000 Vicki 1425423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>In keeping with my new goal to wear the clothes I love, I recently wore two outfits with completely different styles and vibes.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Photos 1-6: &nbsp;The first was to a small concert hall where we saw Ian Hunter and the Rant Band (formerly Mott the Hoople) and he rocked the house. &nbsp;I wore a black F21 tuxedo jacket, white short-sleeved tee, blue J. Brand skinnies, Nine West black belt with silver buckle (my Secret Santa gift last year from lovely Deborah), blue/grey and black animal print cross-strap Aerosole pumps (on one of Angie’s lists during my first year on YLF), and a faux gem necklace. &nbsp;It’s a comfortable outfit and I&nbsp;felt great. &nbsp;I liked the modern silhouette and the fitted nature suited my tastes. &nbsp;My inspiration came from a Canadian woman wearing something similar on a “Love it or List It” program on HGTV. &nbsp;I kept wanting to recreate my version and finally did! &nbsp;☺ &nbsp;Even though these hues are somewhat dark, I really fell in love with this simple outfit. &nbsp;I took several snaps to show the shorter and longer nature of the jacket, thus so many duplicates.</div><div><br /></div><div>Photos 7-11: &nbsp;The second outfit is one of my newer purchases and I adore this dress for its length and it is one of the most easy-to-wear dresses I own. &nbsp;It’s effortless and I’ve worn it in rainy weather, with boots, and on nice days, with flats. &nbsp;It’s by Talbot’s and is a black washed denim shirtdress. &nbsp;I’m showing it with red J. Crew flats and also with Donald L. Pliner boots. &nbsp;This will take me from Wintertime, with boots, to Springtime, with heels and flats. &nbsp;The material is&nbsp;a washed black denim, which softens the black and seems to work out with my fair coloring. &nbsp;Photo #7 is my most recent wearing and I prefer it this way and #9-11 was last month when it was raining for most of the day, and I simply added my Commando black tights to stay warm and dry. </p> <p>Thanks for looking as I keep with another new goal to post more regularly.</p> </div><div><br /></div></p>
