I wasn't sure if I would like skater sneaks so when I found these for $12 at TJMaxx, it seemed like a good way to try the trend without spending too much...as it turns out, I love them and find they go with many outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228823 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 18:43:02 +0000 Ledonna N. 1228823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great outfit.&nbsp; I'm loving the casual shoe choice so cheery </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228759 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 17:52:09 +0000 Cindy S 1228759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228577 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 14:12:20 +0000 Angie 1228577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats from me too.

Congrats on your first wiw. Your outfit is really flattering and I love the turquoise pants. I'm very much like you with black as my skin tone is pale in a washed-out way so I only wear black in small doses too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228433 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 05:46:55 +0000 Asingh 1228433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF!

I just did mine yesterday and it's kinda hard to take the plunge. Way to be brave. Sweet slip on sneakers and bright pants. I haven't figured out how to get my pants to roll up with out having my legs look wider and shorter then the are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228362 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 02:44:59 +0000 Kiwichik 1228362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228356 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 02:39:40 +0000 Cindy S 1228356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann: well, I did have to go lower than my own 8,000 elevation&nbsp;to see some apple blossoms, lol. &nbsp;I am planning to take daily photos and will not post all (i.e. WIW for ditch cleaning - a local NM tradition) but after reading the "first six months" thread I could see from long term fabbers the value of frequent photos to keep track of outfits, thanks so much for your advice!</p> <p>MovingFashionForward: thanks, and yes to both your questions! &nbsp;I'm finding myself less attracted to black but its still an easy default for me - I've been "silver" for about 10 years - but&nbsp;for the first half of those, I looked great in black! &nbsp; Lately though, I've noticed that even a black sleeveless tank seems too harsh and seem to throw wrinkles and sagging skin into stark relief...in solids,&nbsp;I find a midtone gray to be much kinder and my features don't disappear. &nbsp; Black still works&nbsp;in a small print if there is color somewhere - you can't really see from the photo, but the top portion has some green in the stitching and mint in the side panels.&nbsp;&nbsp;And I do still wear black pants and capris, just not close to my face.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the positive feedback everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228337 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 02:19:21 +0000 Jaime 1228337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colors - congratulations on your first WIW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228328 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 02:05:27 +0000 MovingFashionForward 1228328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh - you put me to shame! I've been reading YLF since it started and I still haven't posted one! I do keep meaning to, but haven't got around to it yet.&nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, I think the colours you have chosen look absolutely beautiful with your colouring. (Have you found it painful to let go of black or have you found yourself liking it less when you have noticed that your colours have softened?)</p> <p>Sarah </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228327 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 02:05:20 +0000 Beth Ann 1228327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK-- apple orchards in my neighborhood are nothing but mud and bare branches.&nbsp; Sigh.&nbsp; You look ready for a spring day, for sure!&nbsp; Love the fresh color in your pants, and the print in the top is a great way to soften black.</p> <p>You look great in your first WIW!&nbsp; I found it very helpful to take a quick daily photo -- I only posted some of them.&nbsp; The outfit photos bail me out all the time when I can't think of what to wear and help me see things more objectively.&nbsp; Also, I think the forum can be more help when we get to know a member's style and wardrobe.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228322 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 02:02:25 +0000 Cindy S 1228322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks everyone!

The pants are a perfect Easter colour. That is a very pretty top and I agree with rabbit -- it harmonizes well with your hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228316 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 01:55:29 +0000 rabbit 1228316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a beautiful top, I love it with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228288 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 01:22:23 +0000 rachylou 1228288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much fun!

It can be hard to adjust our colors as hair and skin changes but you seem to have figured it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-good-friday-black-in-small-doses#post-1228242 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 00:01:45 +0000 Cindy S 1228242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first WIW! I spent Friday morning touring local apple orchards with a friend and wore my new Anthropologie top with some turquoise RLs from last year...my coloring has really softened in the last few years and I've had to let go of black unless its in really small doses or farther from my face. &nbsp; </p>
