You are not missing black at all. Nothing's seems "loud" ...you really do wear color well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1287062 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 00:26:53 +0000 tricia w. 1287062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blush and olive is my favorite, those colors look lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1287056 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 00:14:47 +0000 carter 1287056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all! Keep going and going. Great way to remix in ways you wouldn't have thought of before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1287046 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 23:54:12 +0000 Suz 1287046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like all of these, but #4 just takes the silvery cake! LOVE it on you. The peacock is stunning with the white, of course, but it's equally stunning on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>The blue of #2 is also lovely. That mid blue is one of my own very best colours. In fact, that top reminds me of my Zara jacket from last year!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1286979 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 22:32:54 +0000 MsLuna 1286979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awwwwwww Amy!!!!!! I'm so flattered you mentioned me here, and I'm so glad my comment inspired you! &lt;3 you DO wear colour well, and as I always say, "You got it, flaunt it!" :)</p> <p>That said, you in blush gives me the warm fuzzies. Remember the Toronto meetup and you once said you can't wear blush but discovered that you looked great in it? Something about blush just really works with your skintone and adds a softness to your look. Keep wearing it because you look lovely in it! </p> <p>I also like the bluish teal-ish top in #4 on you - see how it brightens your face? </p> <p>Overall - these are amazing outfits on you and I love how you're continually challenging yourself creatively! Soooo proud </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1286927 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:10:43 +0000 Sara L. 1286927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all these outfits.&nbsp; I think that different colored shoes in #1 would be fun to try, but the pink ones you have on look good.&nbsp; I like the pattern in #2 and the fun shoes in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1286916 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 20:33:38 +0000 Astrid 1286916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're all great, but my favourite is #3! That blue is gorgeous on you... I find it very hard to eliminate black and dark colors in general in my wardrobe, it's just what I'm often drawn to. Nevermind that I look better in softer, lighter colors. But I did make some progress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1286766 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 17:37:53 +0000 shedev 1286766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top in 4 is a great color on you, you look very summery. My favorite is 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1286644 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 15:10:58 +0000 Jaime 1286644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these colors look good on you Amy.

I like #1 and #4 the best. It's nice to see you in blush pink and olive. Hmm, I wish I had some more blush in my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1286604 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:30:28 +0000 texstyle 1286604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 on you but the others are all great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1286595 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:25:26 +0000 Anonymous 1286595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is 1, but I really love blush and a column of it is gorgeous. All these outfits are wonderful on you. You do wear color well, especially near your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1286583 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:05:53 +0000 Angie 1286583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's fun to see you in pink, Amy. And those espadrilles in #4 bring back sweet memories. I'm going with #4 as my best. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1286579 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:40:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1286579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Amy - these are fantastic outfits! I absolutely LOVE the column of blush (this follows Angie's olive &amp; pink ensemble). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1286563 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:23:57 +0000 Anonymous 1286563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do wear color well!

I think the blush and olive works too. The third outfit is good, the peacock blue is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-black-week#post-1286555 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:05:21 +0000 amiable 1286555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MsKatieKat's comment on a recent thread of mine (that I wear color well) made me decide to challenge myself to not wear black for a week - or at least, not close to my face. &nbsp;Black has never been my best color, but a while ago when I decided that it wasn't too bad either, I started wearing it quite a lot. &nbsp;And somehow wearing lots of color started to feel too loud for me. &nbsp;So I'm challenging myself to find ways to wear non-black that still feels "like me" and not over-powering.</p> <p>Here's the first three days of the challenge. How am I doing? &nbsp;Are these colors at all flattering on me? &nbsp;And pardon the pre-combed-hair pictures (yikes).</p> <p>#1 wearing today - a column of blush with an olive jacket. &nbsp;I'm not sure it works. (The belt is white, and the shoes pink. &nbsp;I think perhaps I should change to a gray or mid-tone shoe to go better with the olive linen jacket....</p> <p>#2 - #3 worn yesterday. &nbsp;This top is a tunic (or probably&nbsp;a dress), and has a weird waist seam and pockets. &nbsp;But I decided that the pattern is current enough to try out. &nbsp;I'm thinking almost of cutting it into something else -- not sure.</p> <p>#4 worn Sunday to church - a peacock shell with white. &nbsp;I tossed a sparkly light silver cardigan on over it for the frigid A/C at church, and got lots of compliments on how stylish I always look. &nbsp;Ha &nbsp;The shoes in this pic are washed out - They're aquamarine floral espadrilles that my sister just brought me from Spain. &nbsp;They're super cute, but I changed to birks later in the day&nbsp;for comfort.</p> <p>Suggestions for improvement? &nbsp;</p> <p>So far, I don't really miss my black. &nbsp;But I doubt I can go super long without it.</p>
