Fantastic look, Ornella. That blue is so flattering on you.

Kids like what they like no matter what you try. DD doesn't like the colour orange no matter how I try to 'sell it' and if I let her have her way it would be pink and purple every single day (FYI I just make her dress other colours because grandma likes to buy a varied range of colours). Back to your outfit, I like that blue on you an especially paired with the black pattern of the skirt. You always excel in your outfits. ramya on "WIW :: Blue on Blue and Black and White" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-on-blue-and-black-and-white#post-1185363 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:12:15 +0000 ramya 1185363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Look at him pair like a pro.

Great color a sort of that famous cerulean (I think) & the skirt seems a workhorse in action.

(even if it means they are wearing clashing colors and unmatched socks more than I would choose! )   The skirt is great! Ornella on "WIW :: Blue on Blue and Black and White" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-on-blue-and-black-and-white#post-1185266 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 16:57:45 +0000 Ornella 1185266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I never paid much attention to blue until a few years ago when my little boy started saying it was his favourite colour. Btw, I never insisted on dressing him in the typical boys' colours, in fact a lot of his early clothes were very 'loud' reds, yellows, oranges... Once he started expressing it, I used to test his preference for blue but he was always determined it's the prettiest colour for him and he also always said he liked my blue clothes. Which I had very little of. So, I gradually added a few more pieces over time and they were all firm favourites from the first moment.  The latest addition are this turtleneck and the scarf. I already wore them a lot and my favourite combination is actually both of them together. I love how strong the colours are and the two together seem to intensify my own feeling of harmony and tranquility which I associate with blue. Wearing this pair for my boy makes me extra happy to think that Angie called me Princess Blue. Today is Master O's 7th birthday so naturally I wore his favourite colour and left it to him to choose between the black or this plaid skirt. You can see the outcome below I am very happy with it as I adore what <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/07/01/tin-tin-in-long-shorts-and-lace/">Angie referred to as Tin-Tin colours</a> and love experimenting within those parameters.  The skirt somehow managed not to appear in any of my WIWs so far. I love it. I hope you do too, because I plan to wear it a lot... Comments, ideas and suggestions for improvements are welcome as usual. Thank you for your time.
