The cobalt top is lovely with it. I'll be the spanner and say I dont think cobalt is your *best* color. I see the bold shirt before I see *you* IFKWIM, but I am 100% for wearing colors that make you happy whether they are technically your "colors" or not and you look thrilled in your outside pic so I would wear it and be happy and not give it a second thought. </p> <p>ETA: there is of course a personality aspect we dont see straightaway in the photo, and I think your bright personality wears the bold colors well :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-houndstooth#post-1044716 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 13:09:28 +0000 Beth Ann 1044716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent sewing inspiration!&nbsp; You didn't take the dress off one of the guests, did you?</p> <p>Love both pieces.&nbsp; Cobalt is a powerful color, but you wear it well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-houndstooth#post-1044569 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 05:22:22 +0000 catgirl 1044569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You just happened to have a sewing machine and whip up a fab skirt at a wedding?&nbsp; Sounds like a business enterprise!&nbsp; Skirts while you wait....&nbsp; You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-houndstooth#post-1044543 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 04:47:46 +0000 Neel 1044543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this combo! &nbsp;I usually combine my cobalt blue tank with my black and white&nbsp;striped skirt. &nbsp;But your version&nbsp;is trendier and dressier. &nbsp;Like it!</p> <p>The color suits you IMO. </p> <p>ETA - I also agree that the skirt might look better shorter.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-houndstooth#post-1044506 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 03:27:35 +0000 Anonymous 1044506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobalt is your color and i have a sweet eye for houndstooth.
