I've also worn them with tights and bare legs&nbsp;since they are sleek enough to work with skirts.&nbsp; But they are comfortable. &nbsp; Being patent, they don't stretch as much as plain leather does, but they do flex -- I actually put a tissue paper ball inside them between wearings&nbsp;as they are developing a crease above the toes, I think mainly because of how I flex my feet driving. &nbsp;I really don't notice that I'm wearing them at all.</p> <p>Thanks all!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1469087 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 14:17:02 +0000 merwoman 1469087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Graphic fabness!!!

All that was missing was B&amp;W shoes like yours. I have that pair of B&amp;W Clarks&nbsp;on order.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your shoes -&nbsp;Are they comfy? I see it says it has "a soft and breathable textile lining ensures an abrasion-free environment for all-day wear." Is that true? Can you wear without socks?</p> <p>That bag is awesome too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1469050 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 13:18:44 +0000 Meredith 1469050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love seeing your FFBOs-those shoes are particularly great!

I like #3 as well, but I'm hesitant to #2... Probably like you say that the style is a bit dated... But it is a nice colour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468942 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 07:36:53 +0000 Lyn D. 1468942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468941 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 07:36:22 +0000 Lyn D. 1468941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOH- black and white is perfect with your high-contrast colouring.<br />Lovely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468918 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 06:09:41 +0000 CocoLion 1468918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits always inspire me. &nbsp;I love the pink sweater on you! &nbsp;There's something so sweet and feminine about a pink sweater that it comes off as bold, especially when worn by a modern woman like you. &nbsp;Kind of like, dare me to wear a pink sweater. &nbsp;Becoming kind of feminist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468878 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 04:47:33 +0000 rabbit 1468878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah <b>rachylou</b> -- I'm leaning <i>heavily</i> on black and white (with some other colors sprinkled in) this spring so far.</p> <p><b>shevia </b>- good to know. &nbsp;I think I may have adjusted the color levels a bit off in the pink&nbsp;photo too (I took it outside when it was getting dark so everything was bluish and I may have overcompensated.) &nbsp;I'm looking for a replacement without the big cowl so that might help too.</p> <p><b>tulle</b> - thanks for the modification tips! &nbsp;The sweater itself is too near body con, so I might try to pass it on first.</p> <p><b>annagybe</b> - thanks, &nbsp;yeah I usually wear it under a jacket or coat, often mostly closed (which is a good sign that it may be time to let go, lol)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468853 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 02:54:56 +0000 annagybe 1468853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is great like everyone says.<br />I think the pink sweater is saved by the leather jacket. It works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468851 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 02:42:01 +0000 tulle 1468851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore looks 1 &amp; 3, and think #2's pink sweater is yummy, but yes, a bit dated.&nbsp; Knowing your daring and skill when comes to renovating clothes that don't completely work for you, I'm wondering if you would consider cutting off the cowl (by making two parallel rows of stay-stitching all the way around, and cutting carefully between them) about 1.5" from the neck seam.&nbsp; Then you could fold that bit in and stitch it under along the seam (I've done this--it can work!) keeping the detached cowl (hemmed) as a snood or small infinity scarf.&nbsp; This would give you a new sweater shape and more options for the cowl, too. Just a thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468833 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 02:16:13 +0000 Jaime 1468833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is fantastic and your kitties apparently approve also. #3 is exactly what a fall back outfit should be - chic without shouting. Love the pink color but the color is a bit overwhelming on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468820 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 01:55:38 +0000 rachylou 1468820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just am totally feeling the white and black white, and also like black and white with pastel. Don't know why, but this year black and white is saying 'spring' to me. Yelling in my ear, really. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468818 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 01:40:09 +0000 rabbit 1468818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! &nbsp;Yay<b> Angie</b>, I thought you might like the white. :)</p> <p><b>Gigi</b> -- good to my pink might be out in the stores&nbsp;now, I'll have to go take a look.</p> <p><b>Sharon</b> - ha! I did call them, so I think they are milling about hoping for a treat (which they got after the shot).</p> <p><b>Tanya</b> and <b>Sveta</b> -- I will keep my eye out for an updated sweater or other top in pink. &nbsp;Thanks!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468755 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 21:20:56 +0000 Tanya 1468755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of these, but #1 is out of this world!&nbsp; Especially like the matching kitties.&nbsp; #3 is very chic.&nbsp; I second the idea to get a more current sweater in that lovely shade of pink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468751 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 21:17:09 +0000 Diana 1468751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for #1! The kitties! The shoes! The awesome cut of that sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468736 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 20:23:06 +0000 Sharon 1468736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 also, and especially the way the cats seem to have synchronised their walks in the last picture. They look like they are walking in a fashion show! You have sure a gift for putting together visually&nbsp;beautiful and&nbsp;striking outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468732 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 20:00:37 +0000 catgirl 1468732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theses are both fab! The kitties are a perfect match. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468728 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 19:46:56 +0000 Gigi 1468728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these outfits, rabbit! I have tried white-out before but didn't think it looked good on me (I am also pale with dark hair). Maybe I need to try your version of it, with some black accents. I really love black-and-white combos.</p> <p>That pink is truly beautiful on you! I have seen a lot of pink in the stores lately, and it's not the warm, peachy blush of last year--it's a true pastel pink. I hope you can add more of this color to your wardrobe.</p> <p>The blue color of the tunic in outfit 3 is gorgeous on you.</p> <p>I always enjoy your WIWs. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468722 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 19:28:05 +0000 Sveta 1468722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your little kitties&nbsp;are a great inspiration &nbsp;- #1 is TDF gorgeous!<br />You need to get a modern cut sweater in that beautiful pink ASAP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468710 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 18:58:33 +0000 Angie 1468710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOOOOOOOOVE Outfit #1. Killer Deluxe. Kitties are bonus creative photo bombers. I couldn't see the rest because of that combination - but will look again later.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-black-and-pastel#post-1468706 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 18:49:40 +0000 rabbit 1468706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I've been enjoying a new FFBO formula involving these b/w shoes and bag. &nbsp;Often I pair it with white jeans, but it seems to&nbsp;make a myriad of patterned and colored&nbsp;tops and bottoms and toppers work together -- including&nbsp;various skirt, legging and tights pairings.</p> <p>#1 is simple black and white with what my cats are wearing as inspiration (shoutout to <b>E</b>)</p> <p>#2 has added pink pastel. &nbsp;This mohair sweater is pretty&nbsp;dated in cut but I really love the color (it's a true shell pink with warm undertones --the color of a rose-- for me the taupey&nbsp;'blush' as currently available is deadening.)&nbsp;&nbsp;I like layering it under things with the cowl collar serving a scarf function, so I'm not sure whether to let it go yet.</p> <p>#3 Is another FFBO -- a column of navy with&nbsp;dark brown (I wore a slouchy dark brown leather bag too). &nbsp; I've tried with less skinny jeans, but I generally end up preferring the narrower silhouette under this long&nbsp;light cotton peasant blouse. &nbsp;I need to try this with the jacket sleeves unrolled too (I had them up for practical reasons).</p> <p>All feedback and combo suggestions&nbsp;welcome!<br />&nbsp;</p>
