You look so elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697559 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 11:50:20 +0000 Mona 697559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>stripes and dots look sassy together </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697528 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 08:01:25 +0000 CocoLion 697528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pattern mixing! I like how the jacket reads as fairly light. (I'm thinking selfishly about my thread about how to wear black this fall.) This jacket points to exactly what you and others were saying -- that if you wear black prints it will not be so intense or potentially unflattering. I think you look great in black btw. Your hair stands out beautifully, and you wear lipstick which looks great with black clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697524 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 07:46:17 +0000 Deborah 697524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lyn. I would love to say yes that effect with the scrunch was clever and intentional but it wasn't lol.. just had a look at what you mean and it is kind of cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697523 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 07:44:40 +0000 Lyn D. 697523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely jacket Deborah, and did you notice that the scrunch at your elbow creates a very appealing zig-zag effect too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697514 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 07:12:31 +0000 Deborah 697514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies, I am happy this got the thumbs up. I felt good in it and very me.</p> <p>Suz and Vicki I have recently had a bit of an internal conflict taking place with respect to wearing black and white versus color and I have just decided that I love black and white and just because I do want to include more color doesn't mean I have to forsake my beloved b &amp; w.</p> <p>Zap, Shevia, Pil, thanks so much.</p> <p>Sarah I felt quite risque with my pattern mixing, subtle I know but a bit of a step for me.</p> <p>Christy, yes it is funny isn't it. I think I am just so inspired by the clever and interesting combinations and ideas I see here that sometimes the more classic combinations can feel a bit bland, even though I don't really believe they are.</p> <p>Claire this is the jacket I mentioned in one of your posts a while back.. it has taken that long to feel confident in my styling of it.</p> <p>Shannon, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697448 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 03:04:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 697448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This works beautifully together Deborah - love the pattern mixing! And that striped jacket is beyond fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697445 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 03:01:51 +0000 Anonymous 697445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the subtle dots of your top under this jacket. Super flattering pattern mix with the jacket. I love that the jacket is 50% white (because the stripes are equal size). This will be great for you going into spring, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697417 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 02:21:30 +0000 christy 697417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay - the striped jacket comes out to play! Great thinking pairing dots with stripes. Funny how we start to think of our previous "go-to's" as boring, right? I'm sure solid black or white would look terrific with this jacket, but the dots certainly elevate the whole look beautifully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697416 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 02:17:52 +0000 sarah 697416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like you in this jacket, and you're right - the dotted top underneath is the perfect layering piece for it! Smart girl ; )</p> <p>I like how the white stripes lighten up your black outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697415 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 02:17:11 +0000 pil 697415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very sharp - that jacket is fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697390 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 01:42:08 +0000 Jaime 697390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You must wear that jacket more often -it is perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697385 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 01:40:33 +0000 Anonymous 697385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG that jacket is perfection!

Black and Blonde works beautifully on you, Deborah. Love the happy mix of patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697370 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 01:23:08 +0000 Suz 697370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I love the stripes with the dots. Glad you brought the jacket out to play! I don't know HOW you wear black so beautifully, but you do. No wonder it is tough for you to look to other colours. Even though you look gorgeous in those colours, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697355 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 01:07:03 +0000 jen 697355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So classy as usual </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697354 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 01:05:51 +0000 Jjsloane 697354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the stripes with the dots. Bridges the gap between white and black and black of the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bw-stripes-spots#post-697349 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 00:56:19 +0000 Deborah 697349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies:)</p> <p>Worn to church this morning.</p> <p>Black Ponte Skirt</p> <p>Black Top w White Dots</p> <p>Black &amp; White Striped Jacket</p> <p>Sheer Black Hose</p> <p>Black Boots &amp; Bag</p> <p>This is the first outing for the striped jacket. I bought it months ago but it's taken a bit for me to get used to the look. I found putting block white or black under the jacket wasn't exciting for me, so I bought the spotted top specifically with this jacket in mind. I don't find the top overly flattering alone but I did purchase it as a layering piece. It's actually tunic length but I kind of scrunched it up:)</p> <p>How does it all work? Your feedback is much appreciated.</p> <p>Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
