So simple and fab. Those booties are fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-3#post-1420430 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 19:22:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1420430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa - finally back to answer your question. The pullover has these flat bows that are quite retro in style - although they flop around a little bit here and there and the sleeves are 3/4 length. I've had this pullover for a couple of years now and I have to say the quality is just stellar. No fading or pilling at all. I find for wearing with pencil skirts, a fluid knit with a welt at the bottom works best for me. The welt pulls in any excess volume at the hip area so it takes away the boxiness.</p> <p>Lisa/Lyn - these purple booties are such a fave of mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-3#post-1420278 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 14:21:45 +0000 lyn67 1420278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that skirt, and purple booties elevate the outfit from&nbsp;"just one of them" &nbsp;to the most fab, simple yet so very &nbsp;stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-3#post-1420274 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 14:13:44 +0000 Anonymous 1420274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an interesting skirt! &nbsp;I really like that pattern! &nbsp;I'm interested in the pullover - it looks like it has shirt cuffs? &nbsp;I'm on a quest at the moment - because, AGAIN, I made a buying mistake with a black sweater bought to go over a skirt just like this (patterned pencil) and it's too big and boxy and looks like a blob over the skirt. Yours seems to be a perfect blend of fluid and reigned in. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>And those purple boots have to be among the best things you have - they go with everything!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-3#post-1420263 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:59:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1420263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cross posted Shevia and Viva I know dark colors are soooooo hard to photograph so knew I had to include a close up of the skirt otherwise the subtle pattern would never be noticed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-3#post-1420262 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:57:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1420262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank Elizabeth These booties have been nothing short of amazing workhorses for me. They were one of the first items I purchased when I joined YLF and were an Angie pick. I have worn them a TON and yet they're still going strong. The pop of purple of my feet always makes me smile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-3#post-1420261 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:57:43 +0000 viva 1420261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the closeup of that skirt -- otherwise the color play was hard to pick up. Amazing choice with the booties! Such a great outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-3#post-1420259 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:57:19 +0000 Jaime 1420259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it&nbsp;is the fluid fit of the sweater and the structured bag that makes this apparently simple outfit look so current and fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-3#post-1420225 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 12:42:03 +0000 Elizabeth P 1420225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, this is SO SIMPLE yet SO STYLISH... I think the booties make all the difference in the world.&nbsp; Nicely done!</p> <p>And it's great to have you back posting again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-3#post-1420223 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 12:22:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1420223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning Fabber beauties! I'm so enjoying posting my outfits again - it keeps me on my style toes, you know?</p> <p>Today's outfit centres around this recently thrifted skirt. It's a black and bluish-purple patterned cotton pencil skirt with a very simple shape. Easy to dress up or down I figure and also quite seasonless - picture it with black sandals and tank in the heat. Here,&nbsp;I've paired it with a simple black pullover and my black footless leggings for warmth.</p> <p>To play up the purple bits in the skirt, I've chosen my blue-purple suede booties for footwear and grabbed my navy leather handbag. Rose gold/black watch, gold wedding band, red specs and red lipstick finish off the outfit.</p> <p>I will admit that my happiness level is pretty darned high with this outfit. It's simple, figure flattering (I think?), comfortable and non-fussy.</p> <p>What are your thoughts? does this all work together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Pullover: Sears<br />Skirt: Joe Fresh (thrifted)<br />Leggings: Calvin Klein<br />Booties: Aerosoles<br />Watch: Fossil (eBay)<br />Handbag: Coach (gift) </p>
