Anyway, you look fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1100154 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 02:57:42 +0000 crazyone 1100154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this color combination totally works!&nbsp; and you are not a slob, this is totally RATE-perfection.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1100136 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 02:45:03 +0000 Angie 1100136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What are you smoking, sister? You are so not a slob. You look more than fabulous in every outfit. Just like this one, you gorgeous creature.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1100123 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 02:33:53 +0000 Anonymous 1100123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, an Equipment silk blouse, and you got it on Ebay? Now that's the way to do it. It's a gorgeous saturated color, even if it's not that bright. Adding the taupe boots goes a long way to soften the intensities, you "clever girl" as Angie would say. I love your RATEness. Don't ever change. I couldn't look RATE if I tried (and I have really tried, BTW, because I think it looks so cool). You are on&nbsp;<b>FIRE</b><b></b>, woman! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1100107 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 02:23:15 +0000 catgirl 1100107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seeeeee?&nbsp; You look fantabulous.&nbsp; I do shy away from primary colors with black (true yellow, blue, red) only because they have so many assocations like bees and Halloween and whatever else.&nbsp; But citron and black?&nbsp; Emerald and black?&nbsp; Not what I'd always wear, but not that much of a problem.&nbsp; Often I do this when the bright is a pattern, which helps mix up some black into the color as Anna pointed out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1100068 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 01:35:10 +0000 Lisa 1100068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this mix of dark and light, it gives the same effect as white and black to my eye.&nbsp; Except I'd love to see this outfit with the python booties in your other post instead of the brown one's here.&nbsp; The brown seems to earthy a color against these cool based colors (or maybe it's my monitor). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1100015 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:54:10 +0000 Marley 1100015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh - yes, I know this is not a bright color.&nbsp; But it was the brightest item in my closet!&nbsp; (except for a neon pink shirt, which I <i>knew</i> was not going to work.)&nbsp; And yes, Rae - you're right about the brown softening up the outfit - I actually did that on purpose!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1100014 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:52:20 +0000 Suz 1100014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, this works beautifully. It's partly because the jade is so lovely on you, partly because the white shiny stripes of the bag lighten it up, and partly because the drape of the silk somehow suggests ease.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1100012 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:48:32 +0000 rae 1100012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that jade green is a softer color than I was thinking of in my post... I think I may have worn a similar outfit During shoptoberfest. What is key to me is also the silvery buttons and shots of brown in the outfit which soften the color even more. I could not see myself wearing a version of this with a hot pink, red, or neon top, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1100010 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:46:27 +0000 Anonymous 1100010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works well, and love that you bookended with the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1100009 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:43:52 +0000 pil 1100009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your not a slob, you look rakish! So what do you think of the bright and black for you now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1100005 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:36:52 +0000 Jewell 1100005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Deborah. I don't think the teal and black has that sharp contrast that some of us scramble away from. You look great! And every time I see that handbag, it reminds me how much I want the tote version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1099995 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:20:51 +0000 Deborah 1099995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this Marley.&nbsp;I'ts&nbsp; a great colour to wear with black and even tho it's a colour, it's not shockingly bright and therefore not strikingly high contrast.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1099994 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:18:29 +0000 K. Period. 1099994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sloppy! Carefree. I like it. You don't look studied, just lovely and fresh and spirited. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>BTW, to my eye, that jade color has a lot of black in it, so I don't think it is too stark a contrast at all. &nbsp;It seems really well matched. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1099992 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:15:57 +0000 Karie 1099992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color of your top looks great on you! And your boots still look great, even after 8 years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blackcolor-what#post-1099988 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:08:30 +0000 Marley 1099988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae started an interesting thread regarding mixing black with brights and the comments ranged from those who never do it, and those who love it and do it a lot!&nbsp; Much of it had to do with coloring (hair, eyes, etc.), style-type, and personal energy.<br />I was one of those who said that it didn't work for me - which then prompted me to go to my closet and put on something that would be my version of a solid color with black.</p> <p>ETA: - yes, I know this is not a bright color like Rae was talking about in her thread.&nbsp; But, its one of the brightest in my wardrobe - except for a neon pink, and I just wasn't going to go there!</p> <p>In looking at these pics, it strikes me that I am really a slob.&nbsp; Yes, I am RATE - but you think that I could have evenly tucked my shirt into the front of my jeans? - or rolled my cuffs the same amount of times?&nbsp; Good grief - kind of embarrassing!<br />Top - Equipment silk - EBay<br />Jeans - Joes Jeans - Nordstroms<br />Belt - no idea<br />Boots - oldies but goodies - probably 8 years old - can't read the brand on the bottom - got them at Nordstroms - love them and they are holding up really well!&nbsp; They're a dark taupe color.<br />Handbag - Brahmin</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
