That necklace is stunning, I want one too! and an apple green purse, love that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-405240 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 23:21:31 +0000 Deborah 405240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Janet and Erin:) Janet sounds like you have a lovely jewellery collection! Would love to see it :)</p> <p>Modgrl thanks for the advice re photos... photos were taken by Master 8 who has one eye on the television and the other somewhere else when he is taking the photo Hubby takes better ones but he sometimes leaves early. I am playing around with an app called Gorillacam that adds a self timer to the iphone ... once I master that I should be fine:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404903 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 13:30:19 +0000 modgrl 404903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the necklace and your #2 look! Can you have your photographer press the shutter half way to focus before taking your picture? You look gorgeous and I want to be able to make out the details! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404884 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 12:06:47 +0000 Janet 404884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look amazing! I also don't do head-to-toe black often, but sometimes I really enjoy it. I like the way you've done it here. </p> <p>I LOVE that necklace, and I'm not even much of a pearl person (despite having a lovely inherited collection). The combination with silver is so pleasantly unexpected! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404881 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 11:28:01 +0000 Erin 404881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful! I too love the necklace and think that is a great addition. Great boots too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404878 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 10:41:55 +0000 Deborah 404878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely compliment Fi, thank you. I just took a look at Paula Ryan and her range. It is stunning and the fabrics look beautiful, Im so glad you introduced me to the range. Now I just have to wait patiently for a sale:)</p> <p>CocoLion, I think grey counts:) </p> <p>Am just playing around with adding some color to Outfit 1. Thinking maybe some red chunky beads and/or a red belt???? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404869 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 08:28:41 +0000 CocoLion 404869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfits! I love black, too. Not willing to give it up, ever.</p> <p>I am trying to remember to at least have some color in an all black outfit. Does grey count? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404850 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 06:50:09 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 404850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, you are super stylish! I think you will have to work very hard to keep Angie out of your jewellery box!</p> <p>I definitely think that a repeat of Sunday's outfit is in order.</p> <p>You remind me a lot of Paula Ryan (a NZ designer/stylist) - she wears and designs using a lot of black - <a href="http://www.paularyan.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.paularyan.com/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404849 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 06:46:05 +0000 Deborah 404849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Em, hope you post your outfit for us to see:). It's my white ceramic watch you see. It's quite a good bracelet alternative as it can work as quite a statement piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404845 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 06:41:38 +0000 Em 404845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you've styled outfit 2 with necklace and is that a bangle too ?<br /> I'm so going to use your inspiration for a dress I have that I'd love to layer better for the autumn. Beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404839 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 05:56:24 +0000 Deborah 404839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you lovely ladies for your comments:). I do love black but as I get older I do question the need to soften it a bit.</p> <p>Debora, Joy and Yellowgirl thanks I think I will wear no1 again tomorrow.</p> <p>Lyn I'm envious of your ability to wear gorgeous colorful feminine dresses the way you do :)</p> <p>Angie, I think you might be telling me the all black outfit needs softening;). I will see what I can do and maybe change it up a bit for tomorrow. And thank you re dress 2! I only bought it on Saturday and I have worn it twice (Team Wear) and I love it.</p> <p>The necklace is actually long and I have doubled it and clasped it with another pearl "tassel" thingy.</p> <p>Steph, thank you. You so made me smile. I do want to add color but not stop wearing black. I'm with you re elegant black summer dresses... You should see my summer wardrobe!!</p> <p>Thanks again you made my day xxx<br /> , </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404732 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 01:54:01 +0000 mrseccentric 404732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>aaiiiiieeeeeeeiiih!!!! love it love it love it!!!! lovely silhouettes and especially gorgeous mix of textures in #1, and gorgeous tonal work in #2. yumyumyum!!</p> <p>i notice in the style blogger world many of the ladies are working to bring 'more color' into their outfits. but i love black, and your two looks here sum up why :)</p> <p>and i know you're cold there, but it's hot here and i love elegant black in summer......(sigh) thank you for posting and have a great day! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404718 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 01:39:06 +0000 Angie 404718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so stealing that necklace, Deborah. KILLER. </p> <p>I like black too, but very, very, very seldom wear it from head to toe. </p> <p>I absolutely love outfit #2!! The break of the light patterned skirt is divine and so is the softness that is created by your necklace. Just beautiful and very fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404712 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 01:32:42 +0000 lyn* 404712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black looks so effortlessly elegant on you I'm jealous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404681 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 00:54:56 +0000 yellowgirl 404681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very classy! That statement necklace is amazing! I definitely think #1 could work for wearing again this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404677 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 00:48:57 +0000 Anonymous 404677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like #1 and your statement necklace is a wonderful piece. You could go to lunch in #1 from what i can see of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404675 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 00:47:39 +0000 Debora 404675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I'm loving black on you, too! You wear it so well and look just beautiful! I love how you layered both dresses over skinny jeans and your necklace is gorgeous! So glad you added it to your outfit. Definitely wear #1 tomorrow to work tomorrow, and I just love #2! Both are sophisticated, chic looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loving-black#post-404671 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 00:42:05 +0000 Deborah 404671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All,<br /> No1 is what I wore to church on Sunday. I realize the black pieces are difficult to discern but the outfit is:</p> <p>Black dress with contrast fabric drape<br /> Skinny black jeans<br /> Portmans Jersey Jacket<br /> Black belt<br /> Rivers Flat Boots</p> <p>No 2 is what I wore to work today. No appointments and a quiet day at my desk so surrended the waist and went for a more casual look (but couldn't help adding the pearls).</p> <p>Long sleeve dress with graphic black and white skirt - thrifted (new with tags) :)<br /> Black skinny jeans<br /> Unstructured black drape cardigan<br /> Rivers black boots<br /> Portmans silver and pearl necklace - a gift </p> <p>It's so cold here at the moment that anything that can be worn over skinnies and boots is ideal! It's a bit of a uniform at the moment. Back to more of a business look tomorrow for lunch with my Manager. Feeling lazy so thinking Sunday's outfit might work.?</p> <p>And for you color loving YLF's I did carry a gorgeous apple green bag on Sunday;)</p> <p>Your feedback and suggestions warmly welcomed xxx </p>
