I really enjoyed your response to Ramya about what elevates this from frumpy to fabby - &nbsp;so&nbsp;absolutely fantastic both analytically and visually! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133864 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 11:52:08 +0000 lyn67 1133864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fab outfit, Suz! I can see why you love those slonchy skinnies! I cannot find a pair with that slounch for the life of me!:-(( </p> <p>I always love a column of color, so I&nbsp;actually very much love&nbsp;navy/ink (and grey)&nbsp;paired with denim. I would &nbsp;just pay attention not to have shade which clashes somehow (as you also said) with the shade of the denim I am wearing. But your navy sweater looks great with these skinnies! AND esp love the&nbsp;grey animal belt! (I have bought one similar for my DD, as it matches somehow&nbsp; the fadings, isn't it?)&nbsp;</p> <p>Although navy suits me well, unfortunatelly I don't&nbsp;wear lot of&nbsp;jeans nowadays, so have only&nbsp;a few&nbsp;piece of all kinds of clothing item navy or ink&nbsp;and pair them rather with whites in summer (but have more in greys, as they go better with my&nbsp;lighter jeans and &nbsp;blacks, too). </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133845 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 11:01:39 +0000 Jjsloane 1133845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have all my favorite elements on (except BLING but that's fine). I love navy and denim (all blues) and the leopard belt cinches it (pun intended). I'll be going for a blue out this weekend in honor of this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133762 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 05:56:59 +0000 Parsley 1133762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of those deceptively simple outfits, but the key here is that every aspect is so well done. The fit of your jeans is perfect. Personally I like navy with faded denim, so I love the cashmere sweater with it. And then the little bit of animal print from your belt and the glossy boots are delightful finishing touches.&nbsp;</p> <p>This outfit is simple, but simply perfect.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133750 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 05:37:18 +0000 Beth Ann 1133750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed this thread earlier, since I spent the day in travel.&nbsp; </p> <p>I adore navy, and would wear more if it weren't for the wide range of navy tones that clash and fight with one another.&nbsp; I also love a rich sapphire, deeper than cobalt and brighter than ink.</p> <p>Navy is softer on the skin, but still gives depth and contrast to blue jeans.&nbsp; This is a terrific work-from home look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133748 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 05:32:55 +0000 DonnaF 1133748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful combo!&nbsp; I have found that with all the variations of blue denim out there, the ones I have don't work very well with my blue tops.&nbsp; :(&nbsp; My denim jeans have a weird undertone that somehow clashes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133507 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 02:28:52 +0000 Gracie 1133507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stylish and no non-sense, very nicely executed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133502 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 02:23:01 +0000 K.

(wicked laugh) &nbsp;Seriously, blue is such a great color for us blondes, I cannot image not wearing it with denim. &nbsp;I suspect your fabulousness might even sway a few of the unconverted. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133492 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 02:17:58 +0000 Deborah 1133492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz as Angie says this is a killer look for you.&nbsp; I think blues with blue denim look amazing.&nbsp; I have even given it a try myself but I missed my black:)&nbsp; &nbsp;For me though its not the just colours together it's the actual pieces that we combine.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This outfit is very modern, fresh and chic.&nbsp; It has an elegance and an air of the classic to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133469 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 01:58:27 +0000 Anonymous 1133469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of Lucky Lola Skinnies -- they might work for you sized up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133463 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 01:54:59 +0000 Suz 1133463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gryffin, that could be my perfect pair! I like mine without stretch, too. Hmm I am going to have to do a bit of sleuthing. Thank you! I noticed your mention of this brand on Viva's thread the other day and was already curious to know more. Thank you for the reminder.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks also for the kind words, all. And K.Can. you are so right about Elizabeth -- I, too, value her intelligent and thoughtful posts and the way she's always clear about what she's trying to say. And she did not say it was a rule about blues. I think I got to feeling a bit odd about it because I realized that I wear blues with denim all the time now, but <b>I used to feel the way she does!!&nbsp;</b>And I couldn't think when or how that changed. It does depend very much on the blue, of course.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133462 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 01:48:15 +0000 gryffin 1133462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - I absolutely love this!! Easy, effortless, chic!! I love monochromatic and it never occurred to me not to wear navy with jeans. Your jeans are very similar to my Lucky Brand Lola Skinnies which I have always bought one size up because I have always preferred a skimming fit. Also when I could not find slouchy boyfriends with a tapered ankle I bought these 2 sizes up and they were perfect. They come in 3 lengths and beware stretch. I like mine without otherwise they fit like your typical Skinnies. Great outfit!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133453 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 01:41:57 +0000 Windchime 1133453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! I too love the darker top with the lighter jeans. You have such a good understanding of the details needed to make the outfit so successful--fluid fit of the sweater, the belt and booties. Cold weather outfit perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133441 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 01:24:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1133441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Casual drool-worthiness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133420 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 01:03:00 +0000 Emily 1133420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab, Suz! &nbsp;I love the dark blue with the distressed denim, the contrast is interesting but subtle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies/page/2#post-1133391 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 00:52:32 +0000 catgirl 1133391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, just another day of the usual SUZ PERFECTION. </p> <p>Move along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies#post-1133388 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 00:50:20 +0000 Anonymous 1133388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree this looks great- I view denim as a neutral so would pair almost anything with it, esp blue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies#post-1133355 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 00:28:51 +0000 Sharon 1133355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a great outfit. I like the blue with denim look, and I think the leopard belt and your hair colour injuect just the right amount of lightness into the mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies#post-1133322 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 00:00:53 +0000 Raisin 1133322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love monochromatic looks Suz, so this gets a big "yay" from me.

Period. 1133206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you look beautiful! I love the combo and I love the fit. &nbsp;I also love blue with denim.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here's the thing: the blue with denim thing is just a personal poison eye! It isn't that there is a fashion don't built up around it. &nbsp;It's a personal foible. &nbsp;Like my (working hard to get over it) thing about not wanting to mix cool and warm toned neutrals. It isn't rational. You see lots of lovely examples of it around everywhere. &nbsp;It's just a personal thing so that person avoids it. &nbsp;</p> <p>I think Elizabeth was super up-front about the fact that the blue plus jeans thing&nbsp;was a personal preference, not a fashion rule. &nbsp;I've notice before that she's super aware of where something is personal preference and where it is more of a strong, independent guideline. &nbsp;That's one reason I particularly love her posts. She's a smart (and nuanced) cookie! &nbsp;</p> <p>You look great in this combo and you should definitely wear it a lot and with great joy!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies#post-1133197 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 22:01:29 +0000 Ariadne 1133197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a great look. &nbsp;You're right--it's all in the fit and the details. &nbsp;Is the leopard belt a recent purchase? &nbsp;I'm searching for one just like it (and will probably have to save up and wait when I find it--see my SYC thread). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies#post-1133168 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 21:37:53 +0000 Caro in Oz 1133168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must have missed something I LOVE blue with denim.&nbsp;<br />This is a great outfit Suz - I agree that for these looks the devil really is in the detail (&amp; fit). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies#post-1133097 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 20:39:00 +0000 Sara L. 1133097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit!&nbsp; I missed the blue with denim thread but I will admit that I don't generally like blue and denim together.&nbsp; I think your navy sweater is dark enough that there is a lot of contrast with the blue of your jeans and that's why this look works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-denim-skimming-distressed-skinnies#post-1133093 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 20:36:13 +0000 JAileen 1133093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if blue with denim is wrong, I don't want to be right!

You are the picture of "effortless cool." I'm looking at the dictionary right now, and there you are. (Okay, I fib, but you could be!)</p> <p>I like all shades of blue with denim. But I didn't always feel that way. Somewhere along the line, my eye adjusted to see denim as a neutral rather than a color. </p>
