Clean lines but very put together.<br />I think the ruffle jacket goes very well with the dress and the accessories bring the outfit to life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-no-heels---sophisticated-black-and-gold#post-1436433 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:34:06 +0000 trekkiegirl 1436433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great idea on the tights, maybe... I do have a few patterned pairs.</p> <p>Summer, thank you!! I actually wish I had a more cohesive style, I feel my outfits are a bit manic from day to day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-no-heels---sophisticated-black-and-gold#post-1436389 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 11:29:17 +0000 Summer 1436389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You achieve so many different looks tr3kkie, quite a chameleon! &nbsp;I really like your outfit today.</p> <p>&nbsp; Sorry to hear that you're having back problems. &nbsp;Luckily, you can get away with wearing flats with skirt/dress outfits - I would look distinctly stumpy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-no-heels---sophisticated-black-and-gold#post-1436387 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 11:21:32 +0000 Deborah 1436387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very elegant outfit. You look lovely. I would also opt for black tights and echo Shipskitty's suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-no-heels---sophisticated-black-and-gold#post-1436384 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 11:16:27 +0000 shipskitty 1436384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this. I would have chosen black tights myself but I think the grey work here. If you don't like plain black tights maybe consider textured or patterned tights in black instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-no-heels---sophisticated-black-and-gold#post-1435973 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 18:43:06 +0000 trekkiegirl 1435973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that is the ruffled jacket I asked about! Thanks so much for the compliment&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-no-heels---sophisticated-black-and-gold#post-1435970 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 18:31:20 +0000 Zibbets 1435970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is that the ruffled jacket? It's perfect with this! Love the gold accessories with it. Gold and black are very flattering on you.</p> <p>I'm so sorry you're having back issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-no-heels---sophisticated-black-and-gold#post-1435966 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 18:21:44 +0000 trekkiegirl 1435966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That necklace was $1.99 lol <br />And I feel like it has a bit of a "Chicago aging socialite" feel to it with this dress, and in particular, the belt. That is probably the main reason I might not want to wear black tights with this outfit, at least not in combination with those accessories! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-no-heels---sophisticated-black-and-gold#post-1435949 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 17:49:38 +0000 Sal 1435949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a wonderful way of accessorising your looks to add glamour and polish. I admire it because it is something I struggle with. I love the necklace here, and the all black look works well.</p> <p>Hope the back starts to mend soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-no-heels---sophisticated-black-and-gold#post-1435946 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 17:45:49 +0000 trekkiegirl 1435946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much! I have a lot of black and have been trying to wear it a bit less often, but it is such an easy comfort thing for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-no-heels---sophisticated-black-and-gold#post-1435940 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 17:40:03 +0000 Anonymous 1435940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I may have missed a few of your posts, but this one is fabulous. &nbsp;I LOVE the all black look. &nbsp;So sophisticated. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-no-heels---sophisticated-black-and-gold#post-1435919 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 17:06:34 +0000 trekkiegirl 1435919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and still no heels because my back is still jacked up. Sooooo frustrating!! Well at least I have the brown boots now, one more flat footwear set! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-no-heels---sophisticated-black-and-gold#post-1435918 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 17:04:21 +0000 trekkiegirl 1435918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Originally this morning I put on a coral a-line dress, but couldn't find a short enough cardigan to wear with it. I guess the dress will have to wait til spring! (note - I could use a cropped cardigan. Adding to the list...)</p> <p>Instead, I went with a more somber black dress. It's a heavier weight as well, and much warmer. Using my velvet ruffle jacket to add some texture and interest, and accessorized with mostly gold, simple smoky eyes and nude lips. Not sure about the grey tights. I love these flats, they have super cute gold studs on the back. Would have preferred heels with this outfit though. *sigh*</p> <p>Right now I'm at the upper end of my weight, so while this dress would normally look more like a straight sheath, it's a bit more form fitting today. I feel a bit uncomfortable with how it's fitting and how it looks, so I might relegate this to another section of the closet with some other lower weight items. </p> <p>Any comments, feedback or opinions are greatly appreciated </p>
