There is something about black to me that always looks sharp, stylish and contemporary. The textures here are lovely but it's the neckline that closes thendeslnfornme as the skin showing between your face and the neckline add the desired softness. Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-textural-black#post-849597 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 04:29:05 +0000 Caro in Oz 849597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in black - loving the slouch on you:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-textural-black#post-849470 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 01:25:36 +0000 Sveta 849470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I second Angie: you are lucky to suit black so well!

It's a great balance of softness and modern.

I like to wear black too, in fact today's outfit is mostly black also (although I probably would have added some red if I had remembered it was Valentine's Day before getting to work). I'm happy to hear you're already having some success with the weight loss plan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-textural-black#post-848891 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:19:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 848891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane - Gain says "thanks" for the cuddle (he's such a love bug)!</p> <p>Suz - bring on the slouch! Like you say - who'd a thunk it? I'm really liking a slouchy top with a more fitted skirt.</p> <p>Rita - not to worry. The shirt isn't actually shiny, just not a flat black, if you know what I mean.</p> <p>Shevia &amp; Raisin - thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-textural-black#post-848890 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:18:58 +0000 Jaime 848890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirt plus top is perfect!

It is so perfect for you!! Tell me about the shirt... is it shiny? YLFers made me get rid of my "shiny" stuff when I first started posting here.... Just a thought, not sure if consensus has changed since that time.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-textural-black#post-848855 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:43:55 +0000 Suz 848855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you look awesome in this! LOVE!!! You and I are fully embracing the slouch, aren't we? Hey, who'd a thunk it? But when it works.....I love the sweater with this skirt, which has so much interest. FAB that it fits now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-textural-black#post-848826 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:37:23 +0000 Anonymous 848826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang! why dya have to post just when I logged off! Love all the textures Shannon and the booties are a sneaky shot of colour to all the black. Sending a virtual cuddle to Gains!

I love a textural black outfit. The indigo booties are a nice touch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-textural-black#post-848821 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:30:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 848821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Head to toe black outfits can be harsh but black is my favourite colour to wear and will always be a staple in my wardrobe. So in order to make an all black outfit look interesting and not "flat", I need to add texture. </p> <p>Today's outfit started with a tweed knit skirt I bought at Cleo Petite before Christmas and haven't worn. It was actually a bit tight when I bought it and then became tighter (darned shortbread cookies!) but thanks to Lean Eating, when I tried it on last night, it fit beautifully. I paired the knit skirt with my sleek and drapey side tie boat neck top to add softness and volume to the shorter and slimmer fitting skirt. Then I added my black large polka dot hose for even more texture and visual interest. My one shot of colour is my blue/purple suede booties.</p> <p>My accessories consist of my black/white handbag, silver ring and a vintage grey/silver bangle....and of course, a swipe of red lipstick!</p> <p>I'm happy in this outfit and although some consider black to be an easy, bordering on lazy, colour choice, I still think it can have "oomph".</p> <p>So what do you think? Boring black? or interesting black? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>BTW - camera is doing funny things to the shine of the shirt on my chest. I promise you that my breasts do not look like car headlights IRL!</p> <p>And Gain thinks every outfit needs a shot of orange!</p> <p>Top &amp; skirt: Cleo Petite<br /> Tights: Hue<br /> Boots: Aerosole<br /> Handbag &amp; bangle: thrifted </p>
