Silly auto thingy and typing without my glasses doesn't help xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1023267 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 23:05:05 +0000 Lantana 1023267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, Janet, Nicole, In My Joi, thank you all for your lovely affirmations.<br /> Deborah, you have nailed it. We strive so often to neutralize the leg foot interface that this contrast takes a little adjustment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1023224 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 22:12:51 +0000 Deborah 1023224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Breathtaking! Simple and oozing style. I think the pant length is fine given they are tapered. I think what bothers your eye is simply the high contrast between the shoe and the pants...just need your eye to adjust. A darker bootie would of course "elongate" the leg but I don't think it's necessary. Black and blue is gorgeous together and this is lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1023207 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:59:57 +0000 In My Joi 1023207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF!!!!!! Both outfits are show-stoppers, but my personal fav is No 1! The steel grey booties sets it off to me and really pulls in your gorgeous hair color as Ceit mentioned! Stunning &amp; classic!! BRAVO!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1023181 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:47:15 +0000 Nicole D 1023181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, stunning was the word that came to mind when I opened your pic. &nbsp;Rich looking, understated elegance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1023178 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:44:31 +0000 Janet 1023178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't get past those amazingly fab BOOTS on you! Such a perfect color and style for you. The whole&nbsp;outfit looks great, and I love your hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1023176 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:42:52 +0000 Lyn D. 1023176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely!<br />The greys and navy create such nice light and shade, and your hair is so great with this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1023097 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 20:15:45 +0000 Lantana 1023097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping to say thanks Angie for the thumbs up.<br /> Vickie I can see this palette working perfectly for you.<br /> AM, PPL is an ongoing issue for me and I am so relieved to hear Angie's take on this.<br /> No rehemming, hooray for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1022833 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 16:02:29 +0000 AviaMariah 1022833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I was waiting for Angie's reply on that tricky PPL. &nbsp;I'm glad to read that she thinks this is fine as that means a tapered trouser is a lot more versatile for different heel lengths. &nbsp;I love this color combo on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1022828 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 15:54:22 +0000 Vickie KY 1022828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how the grey of your belt and shoes picked up the tones of your hair.

They taper at the ankle and you added booties. Perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1022724 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:28:47 +0000 Jaime 1022724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning with your hair and just stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1022721 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:26:56 +0000 Lantana 1022721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz, I've decided I'll let them down and see if it will be enough for these booties.<br /> Very much up your alley, I agree. There is an oufit of yours I well recall of black turtleneck and pants with silver shoes, scarf and belt. Remember? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1022664 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 13:28:09 +0000 Suz 1022664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LOVE</b> both these outfits. Absolutely gorgeous on you with your hair and right up my alley.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree the pants look a little too short with the boots. It's a shame. Is there any seam allowance to let down? If they scrunched a bit, they would be fine with these.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1022607 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 11:25:17 +0000 Anonymous 1022607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love how the boots pick up your hair! I agree the pants look a little too short with the boots. If they were booties, I would suggest tucking into them!</p> <p>You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1022604 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 11:12:30 +0000 Lantana 1022604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ManidipaM, "too cool to languish"-I love that. You know, my mirror told me the boots were OK but I knew straightaway from the photo that they were too high.<br /> Darn.<br /> I shall have to buy new shoes.<br /> Double darn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1022597 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 10:55:45 +0000 ManidipaM 1022597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black and blue is one of my favourite combinations from YLF. And your addition of grey adds a sophisticated twist to the trendy black, white and blue. Pity the pants are not quite right for these boots. Buy fingers crossed for grey ankle boots or similar for you. Yhid combo is too cool to languish for lack of a slipper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1022591 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 10:17:53 +0000 Lantana 1022591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro and Ingunn, thankyou for your suggestions. Flat shoes will be the go because I don't want to change the pant length.<br /> Trouble is, I really like that grey. I wonder what my chances are of finding pointy toed grey flats?<br /> Caro, I am hoping for a town trip on my tod really soon. I've been back and forth for the grandkids' footy and netball matches with no time for aught else and that's finally ground to a halt. </p> <p>Aint spring grand? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1022585 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:37:36 +0000 Ingunn 1022585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simple, elegant fabness through and through! You look terrific. The belt is a beautiful accent.&nbsp;I agree with Caro on the pant length, but you could also go shorter. I had a cropped pant shortened, so it&nbsp;now&nbsp;looks intentional with boots instead of just too short.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1022583 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:31:51 +0000 Caro in Oz 1022583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello you gorgeous thing. &nbsp;I think the pants would look better with a flat shoe&nbsp;- they look a little short with your fab boots Love the top half in both photos &amp; your bag is fab.</p> <p>Let me know when you are coming to town again I'd love to catch up if you have time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pairing-black-and-blue#post-1022575 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:07:12 +0000 Lantana 1022575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie mentioned pairing black and blue&nbsp; in a post the other day and straightaway I wanted to give it a try. <br />I wore the first outfit to dinner with friends last night and the second, which is actually blue on blue, today. <br />I felt very happy with both and I would love to know your opinion. Once I saw the photos I thought oops, that's not PPL but what is the deal with PPL&nbsp; when pants taper at the ankle?&nbsp; </p> <p>black merino and cashmere turtleneck - Woolovers<br />navy pants -Veronika Maine<br />navy silk blouse - Lands End Canvas<br />grey belt and booties - thrifted<br />mabe pearl ring &amp; pearl studs</p> <p>This is very simple and plain; what's&nbsp; your verdict? Be blunt, I'm not squeamish.</p> <p>Australia votes tomorrow. Three cheers for democracy! </p>
