It seems balanced since your hair is darker. I've always preferred black to blue denim, but when it fades it's not so good :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2094235 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 17:41:57 +0000 Jenn 2094235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel the same way as you about black jeans. I see images where they look really cool and urban on others, but they always feel kind of heavy and wrong on me. Maybe you can do an outfit lab with them and find a couple of outfits that work better than others? I suspect the trick is finding the right amount of contrast and it may just take some iterating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2094218 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 16:24:43 +0000 Joyce B 2094218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite look is 1 but 2 is good, too.<br /> The column of black looks fab but if you feel it is too heavy visually maybe you can try to lighten the outfits as Joy suggested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2094152 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 11:13:38 +0000 kkards 2094152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>laurel, yes its a&nbsp;Victrola, unfortuately its missing the insides, my dad used it back in to day to store a turn table and tuner as well as his classical and opera albums.&nbsp;<br />thanks all for the encouragement and thoughts on the black jeans, i'm going to play with them some more and continue to find outfits that i think work&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2094128 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 06:16:19 +0000 Anonymous 2094128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how the black-blue jeans look on you! In a past thread you have a red plaid top on, I think that would also match very well with these jeans and give the pop of color you might be looking for. The belt peeking also adds interest when the light hits the buckle especially the 2nd outfit wherever that belt is from its showier. But both outfits look good and it’s nice to see something new on you to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2094103 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 03:03:22 +0000 Jaime 2094103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love black jeans, but do understand what you mean by their visual weight. Ideally like to wear them either with neutrals or with patterns that include black like your jacket in #2. I also have some black in my hair still, which balances them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2094098 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 02:47:31 +0000 Laurel 2094098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF--- I like both, but prefer the more muted #1. &nbsp;Totally fab either way, though. Is that a Victrola in your background? &nbsp;I had one for years and years (the top looks the same, anyway) and eventually sold it to a young man who was going to repair the mechanism and give it to his wife for a special milestone. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2094094 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 02:29:50 +0000 DonnaF 2094094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF in both outfits, but if you don't FEEL fab maybe you can swap out your black shoes for something lighter? Not necessarily your wonderful white booties, but I'm wondering if you have brown footwear to bookend your hair? I'm thinking you tend to prefer blue jeans because they are about the same depth/intensity as your hair whereas black is too dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2094092 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 02:21:10 +0000 Anonymous 2094092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 best but feel that #2 also works. If you want to lighten up the look, add a white shirt under the jacket and wear it open or add pearls and white booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2094053 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 22:03:02 +0000 kkards 2094053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JenniNZ..normally I don’t pay attention to must have lists...but since I wore black pants so often when I wore Biz casual I to black jeans would be an extension of that, even though in the past black jeans were a problem for me. Lesson learned </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2094046 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 21:36:47 +0000 rachylou 2094046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 feels more you. 2 feels both dark and a little frillier than I’m used to seeing on you... but gotta tell ya, it’s still fantabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2094002 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 18:28:26 +0000 Helena 2094002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both too, and I think a plaid jacket would also be fab.</p> <p>I hear you on the black jeans - they seem like a great, versatile idea, but I can't stand when they fade, even just a bit. This pair looks terrific though!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2093999 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 18:17:09 +0000 Jenni NZ 2093999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both. I like your hair in #1 better I think. Like kellygirl I love the booties. The black makes these outfits slightly more dressy to my eye than blue jeans, which I enjoy.<br /> But maybe you have learned not to pay attention to those must-have lists? I hate those lists-don’t own a white shirt or black jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2093994 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 17:57:03 +0000 kellygirl 2093994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both iterations and the black jeans are awesome. Great booties too. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2093992 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 17:48:06 +0000 slim cat 2093992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits. It looks dressy/casual, with interesting tops and your legs look fab! Burgundy is great color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2093991 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 17:44:30 +0000 nemosmom 2093991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it certainly doesn't LOOK heavy!!&nbsp; I love the burgundy with the black. I think #1 looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-15-everyone-should-have#post-2093989 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 17:38:21 +0000 kkards 2093989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m usually pretty good at ignoring the every one should have lists, but in the past couple of years it seemed black jeans were on “all the lists”. And since I love jeans I thought I should have some. Bur black jeans have always been a problem for me. While I love faded blue jeans, I hate faded black ones. So I resisted. But then I saw this blueish black pair, and I bit. And I’m not loving them. I have 1 outfit that I think really works #2. But in the spirit of this months challenge I tried something else. #1. It’s not bad, it just feels rather heavy and dark. Next time I’m going to the plaid jacket </p> <p>Thanks for looking. As always all comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated </p>
