The boots are beautiful and complete the look perfectly. Gorgeous! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mesh-sweater-pastel-to-mid-tone-ombre-other-wiws#post-891066 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 03:49:31 +0000 ElleH 891066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes RachyLou navy is a nautical colour &amp; also is used for red, white &amp; blue around July 4th in the US so it is worn in spring/summer, but with white alone or white &amp; yellow, white &amp; red.<br /><br />I can just wear a black moto or ink blue&nbsp;denim jacket&nbsp;with my white outfits, unless it is too hot. I could wear a coloured top with white jeans. Now in NY people tend to wear black all year round. I think it is because they would be filthy if they wore white. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mesh-sweater-pastel-to-mid-tone-ombre-other-wiws#post-891026 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 03:06:40 +0000 rachylou 891026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Actually, you know, navy used to be a traditional color for spring. Myself, I'm liking the idea of forest green for spring (I saw a lot of it for Fall 2013, but it says spring to me). Black sandals always come out for summer too. And hey! Those nomads in the desert always wear black. I think it's more about fabric weight than colour.<br /><br />Your long white dress is great tho (still going on about that too!). <br /><br />Oh, it occurs to me that maybe what the white-on-white outfits could use is some toughening up. Any leather bracelets or the like?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mesh-sweater-pastel-to-mid-tone-ombre-other-wiws#post-890747 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 23:41:40 +0000 rae 890747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the sweater looks really good, though I don't have enough of a handle on your style yet to help say if it is you. I like it with the white jeans... hm, I could stand a little less scrunch, but this amount isn't bad. Your going out outfit is super sleek and edgy - really fun to see the day-to-night transition! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mesh-sweater-pastel-to-mid-tone-ombre-other-wiws#post-890739 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 23:35:22 +0000 CocoLion 890739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your elegant black outfits for going out! &nbsp;So sleek. &nbsp;As for the pastels, I think you wear them well and although I am normally not a fan of a lot of scrunch, it works here. &nbsp;It's when scrunch looks more like big folds that I don't like scrunch. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mesh-sweater-pastel-to-mid-tone-ombre-other-wiws#post-890641 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:59:27 +0000 catgirl 890641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The second outfit is stealing my heart. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mesh-sweater-pastel-to-mid-tone-ombre-other-wiws#post-890639 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:58:08 +0000 ElleH 890639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rachylou, I also find that my hair &amp; complexion look better in darker colours &amp; was wondering what to do about Spring/Summer. Do you think I can wear dark colours for Spring/Summer&nbsp;as long as there is something light coloured in my outfit? I don't have to jump on the white on white trend if it doesn't suit me or I could wear white head to toe with a dark or bright scarf, though scarves make me hot in Summer. Emmanuelle Alt is one of my style icons &amp; I see her wearing a lot of dark colours with her white. Like mostly black. I have seen her in a light blue blouse with white jeans but she still bookends her hair with black sandals &amp; belt. It seems that might be in high Summer as she is without a jacket altogether &amp; in sandals.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mesh-sweater-pastel-to-mid-tone-ombre-other-wiws#post-890620 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:41:30 +0000 rachylou 890620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your darker, rocker outfits. You do that so well!<br /><br />The ombre sweater I admit I don't love so much. I find the shape awkward, esp. the neckline...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mesh-sweater-pastel-to-mid-tone-ombre-other-wiws#post-890608 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:28:47 +0000 ElleH 890608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Cciele, it does slip off the shoulders. It isn't my intention but probably the intention of the design. I don't mind too much because I am wearing a cami that is not underwear. I only wear these type of camis as underwear but people wear them on their own.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mesh-sweater-pastel-to-mid-tone-ombre-other-wiws#post-890595 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:19:32 +0000 cciele 890595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Regarding the ombre, what is bothering you about it? I quite like #2 -- nice balance of light, dark, and shade. But the neckline (as seen in #1) is bothering me for some reason. Does it tend to slip off your shoulders? Or maybe I prefer to see a cleaner neckline without the undergarment strap showing, unless it's obviously intentional.<br /><br />I love your going-out outfits! The booties + skinnies make your legs look like they go on forever https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mesh-sweater-pastel-to-mid-tone-ombre-other-wiws#post-890587 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:13:51 +0000 Aida 890587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like how the ombre sweater looks with the white jeans (which don't look too scruchy to me, but I am on Team Lots Of Scrunch). Your white Chucks would work well with the outfit as in #1, but I quite like the darker pair with the jacket in #2 (picks up on the jacket perfectly). If you're still not sure about the all-light pairing, you could also try pairing with darker jeans and then using your white Chucks (or other light footwear) to add some springy lightness; could also work with flared faded jeans. And great going out looks, I especially like #3! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mesh-sweater-pastel-to-mid-tone-ombre-other-wiws#post-890490 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:44:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 890490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ All great outfits! I like the ombre sweater styled with the white jeans and ink blue sneaks--nice, laid back look. I like it even better with the jacket, but I think it's because I like the added polish. You could also try the ombre sweater with dark jeans, so the color of the entire outfit intensifies from top to bottom.<br /><br />Your going out looks are smashing! I like the detail of the mesh shoulder on the sweater in 3 and the velvet blazer in 5. Can't see the details too well in 4, but the silhouette is great on you!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mesh-sweater-pastel-to-mid-tone-ombre-other-wiws#post-890465 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:20:10 +0000 ElleH 890465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ First 2 pics:&nbsp;I'm not sure I'm loving this or if it is me. I'm not sure if it is because white &amp; pastels are new for me, as is blue (apart from denim) or if it isn't my style. I already had this sweater so after Angie's posts on pastels &amp; midtones &amp; mesh sweaters I thought I would try it. I'm wearing an ink blue denim jacket (that is really twill not denim) with ink blue chucks. My white chucks made me feel like I was going to paint a house or some other kind of all white uniform wearing worker, it didn't look right so I didn't even photograph it. I like white chucks with white jeans on pinterest but they are usually cropped with skin showing. Is there too much scrunch at bottom of&nbsp;these jeans? They are super long &amp; while I like the scrunch should I shorten them for less scrunch?<br /><br />Other pics:&nbsp;I have a couple of other WIWs that were in the Winter that I never got to post. They were both going out for dinner outfits. First of the dinner outfits is black skinnies, black dolman sweater with mesh at top &amp; black leather trim military jacket &amp; booties. Other one is dark blue skinnies, brown sweater, brown velvet blazer, pearls&nbsp;&amp; booties.<br /><br />All feedback welcome, including criticism &amp; how it could be improved. Thanks:)
