You do bl&amp;white soo well, Sveta! love the dress and the last outfit, too! Cobalt is such a good color for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1176093 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:42:00 +0000 Day Vies 1176093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these looks are SO&nbsp; inspirational. I adore #1! They give me hope that I can continue working with copious amounts of black for a little while longer . I completely understand your desire to avoid the shoe change at work (who knew shoes weighed so much?!) Stylish in the winter with a sloppy slushy ground is indeed a challenge.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175681 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 01:24:55 +0000 Sveta 1175681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your kind comments, ladies!<br />I am glad I am not the only one liking the full length more than the cropped one in the first outfit. Angie said that cropped lengths are not the best for pear shaped gals and I think she is right. It is interesting that for BF jeans I do prefer the rolled up look to the full length but for straight leg/ skinnies and even slouchy trousers it is full length for me all the way.</p> <p>Neel and Lisa, thank you for taking time and commenting in such details on each outfit! I guess I would use a cognac bag in #5 but I don't have one...</p> <p>Suz, you are right, the winter is coming back. Our sidewalks were like skating rinks today. I so hear you on living in snow boots. This is why my goal for the next winter is to get 2 more pairs of winter-friendly boots which also look good - one short so I can wear them under my slouchy trousers and another pair of tall ones in color other than black and maybe in more dressier style than flat riding boots. My Blondo boots proved very useful in winter. I can wear them up to -15C, they are slip resistant, waterproof and warm. Of course I would not wear them for 2h walk in the woods but they are great for commuting to work and for walks in the city.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jules and Karie, these cognac boots are knee tall. I wore them with knee high socks and pulled BF jeans on top of them.</p> <p>Lisa, I don't have a white winter blazer but I did pair this polka dot dres with my white leather moto.</p> <p>Angie, not your poor wrists again!!!! Please take care of yourself and get well (and many hugs coming right back at you!!!)</p> <p>Karen, it is interesting about 9shart color pops). I am going to do more of them next week for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175665 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 01:03:20 +0000 Helena 1175665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! I esp. love the stripes and the last one, as more cas. is right up my alley&nbsp;- but all are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175632 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 00:32:32 +0000 Kristin L 1175632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in all of them, but I think #3 is my fav.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175614 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 00:18:22 +0000 Lisa 1175614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-My favorite of this group.&nbsp; And you've given me an outfit idea.&nbsp; I've tried a black blazer with my cream jeans but with a solid top, the sparkle tank really gives this nice texture. I prefer the unrolled look.</p> <p>#3-Another outfit idea, you are my inspiration this week. :)&nbsp; I also just broke out my cobalt jeans and paired them with black.&nbsp; Dots is a great idea.&nbsp; I have paired my cobalt with a white blazer, have you tried a white blazer with your dot dress yet?</p> <p>#4-Looks like a great FFBO, and a gal always needs a few of those!</p> <p>#5-I agree, the dove grey and brown don't work for me, I'd like to see a brown bag instead.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175566 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 23:54:00 +0000 karymk 1175566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Sveta, I adore the look with the cobalt moto. How amazing. &nbsp;I don't know why, but on you I am always drawn to the looks you do with sharp color pops. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175365 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 20:47:56 +0000 Karie 1175365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these, but #5 is my fav, because I can copy it almost exactly! A question: Are the cognac boots short or do they come up higher and you have your BF jeans cuffed over them?&nbsp;</p> <p>And isn't all this snow and ice awful? It's been warmer here too, and Fri. night after it had been raining all day,&nbsp;I went out to run to the market and my entire car was encased in ice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175348 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 20:30:07 +0000 Marmee 1175348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all so amazing. &nbsp;I love them all, especially the polka dot dress with the blue jacket, and #5.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175342 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 20:27:39 +0000 Lyn D. 1175342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tux jacket outfit is my fav this week&nbsp;Sveta! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175335 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 20:15:43 +0000 sarah 1175335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such fab outfits, Sveta. I'm really loveing #4 and wondering why I've never worn my striped sweater with my black pants! I've given up on doing anything but changing out my footwear at work. Between the snow and the cold, there is no room for anything but my snow boots! I'm quite impressed that you dare wear light bottoms ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175330 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 20:03:20 +0000 Anonymous 1175330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cobalt and polka dots so much! Also impressed with how pulled-together #4 looks for a running-late outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175319 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 19:50:10 +0000 Anonymous 1175319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wow us in all iterations Sveta. I think my favourites are 1 and 5. Oh, btw, I prefer your jeans unrolled as in #1 too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175181 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 16:48:14 +0000 annagybe 1175181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I really like #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175172 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 16:43:10 +0000 Angie 1175172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Arms are sore - have to stop typing now. But wanted to say that #1 knocks my socks off. And wanted to give you a hug. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175169 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 16:39:27 +0000 Jules 1175169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you wearing bfs over tall boots? I'm going to have to try that! I actually think the grey and cognac are ok here, maybe because the whole outfit is neutrals? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175166 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 16:36:53 +0000 greenglove 1175166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are #3 and #5, the blue is wonderful- you look gorges in all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175163 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 16:34:35 +0000 Catnip 1175163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these looks, Sveta, and prefer the pants unrolled in #1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;#1 and #3 are so chic.&nbsp; &nbsp;#4 and #5 are also great and look so comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175085 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 13:41:06 +0000 Suz 1175085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous as always! I love #1. I prefer it with pants full length as well. Love the moto with the dress, too, and how nice to see your knees! But it is getting colder again this week -- back to the tights and trousers, I fear....</p> <p>Oh the joys. It has been snow boots each day for me since January 1. I only risked my La Canadiennes a few times. Here, the sidewalks and roads are simply too rough for them. Although one night I did wear them out to meet a friend&nbsp;and ended up in a huge puddle -- I am glad to say they did not leak and did not get ruined!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175075 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 13:16:31 +0000 leopardluxe 1175075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the bright blue moto jacket over the polka dot dress. Really makes the whole outfit pop and looks fantastic on you. Also, in #5,&nbsp;I rather like the cognac boots with the softer tones of the faded denim,&nbsp;dove gray bag and cream sweater. It looks very casual chic (and comfortable!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175071 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 13:04:15 +0000 Jaime 1175071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all terrific - #1 is my favorite and I also prefer it full length.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175010 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 05:20:56 +0000 Neel 1175010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving your black and white oufit in pic 1. I too much prefer the full length of the pants. You have got me craving a tux jacket!</p> <p>My next favorite is outfit 2. That jacket has been such a brilliant addition to your wardrobe!</p> <p>Outfit 3 is casual chic at its best!! I love the touch of burgundy with the black and white. I think I am going to copy that later some day.</p> <p>Outfit 4 is great too. Loving the chunky knit over the boyfriend jeans! A cognac or animal print bag would have been brilliant, but dove gray doesn't look bad either. Pre YLF I always carried just one bag no matter what color shoes I wore .... Oh well moving on! I think all of them are stellar outfits!</p> <p>Very well done for a rough week Sveta! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175009 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 05:20:10 +0000 Lantana 1175009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it is a simple joy to peruse this post Sveta. Eye candy but restful, IYKWIM. You have an assured touch so each outfit works, even the two where you have expressed reservations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175005 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 05:13:49 +0000 Deborah 1175005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these... &nbsp;a lot.</p> <p>I agree that I also prefer #1 with the pants at full length. &nbsp;This is a very stylish and elegant outfit. &nbsp;Not over the top at all. &nbsp;Very balanced in terms of the dressy casual vibe you have created.</p> <p>Love #4, I really think of this look as "very Sveta" and the bag in #5 is soooo cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-and-blue-in-a-hurry#post-1175000 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 05:01:51 +0000 Sveta 1175000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This winter continues to present dressing challenges. It was much warmer this week but because we have so much snow which began to melt and then freeze over again (eek!) footwear choice is pretty limited unless one is willing to change shoes in the office...not to mention that chronic running late every morning added its own challenge :-(</p> <p><b>pic 1 - 2 Black and white</b><br />I was in the mood for a simple black and white theme, I wanted to wear a tux jacket and was looking for a top which is not very formal or the look would be too over the top in my casual office. I decided to go with this studded black tank which is on the casual side because the fabric is tshirt-like cotton. I wore the jeans full length all day &nbsp;and then decided to cuff them as well and take a picture. Well, I think I like the full length version much better: I don't think the cuffed length does me any favors here...</p> <p>Cream jeans and tux jacket - Banana Republic<br />Studded tank - Winners<br />Clarks booties<br />Danier satchel</p> <p><b>pic 3 Black, white and cobalt</b><br />I wanted to wear my cobalt moto that day and was limited to Blondo boots because I had to take bus to work. It was not very cold so I galdly wore sheer patterned hose instead of tights! (excuse my red vampire eyes here!)</p> <p>Polka dot dress - JNY<br />Cobalt moto jacket - Gap<br />Blondo boots<br />Danier silver tote</p> <p><b>pic 4 Stripes with the touch of red</b><br />I was running late this morning so basically grab-and-go basics here.</p> <p>Striped sweater and black Martin trousers&nbsp;- Banana Republic<br />Red Munro booties<br />Danier silver tote</p> <p><b>pic 5 Classics and pastels</b><br />I don't remember if it was intentional or not but this outfit was pretty much by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/01/24/ensemble-classics-and-pastels/">Angie's post.</a>&nbsp;After I left the house I realized that pairing cognac boots and dove grey bag may not be the best color combination here...oh well!</p> <p>Gap chunky sweater<br />Kut BF jeans<br />BP cognac boots<br />Danier dove satchel</p> <p>That was my week &nbsp;- thank you for looking. As usual all comments and suggestions are welcome!<br />Have a great Sunday!!!! </p>
