It looks so fresh and pretty with your white top. I find cobalt to be as versatile as black or navy when it comes to pairing tops, and it just looks fresher and more interesting.</p> <p>And your little one is utterly adorable--especially with that soulful expression! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-988026 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 02:49:22 +0000 Sveta 988026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I solemnly declare that cobalt blue is a neutral - together with red and animal print.<br />Lovely skirt, Mani. You wear brights so well and they are natural in your sunny climate - just wear this beauty and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-988020 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 02:45:55 +0000 Suz 988020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann's right, I think. Somehow the bright bottom, black top is a totally different look and feel (to me, anyway). And cobalt also feels fresher with black than some other brights do (for now, I suppose, until we all tired of that...but by then your skirt will be worn out!) I really like this on you and think you can wear it so many ways.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987943 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 01:04:53 +0000 Beth Ann 987943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Mandipa, I know what you mean about fear of black/brights.&nbsp; It can be dated in a hurry -- but most of that dated look came in the form of black trousers with bright tops.&nbsp; Blue on the bottom is already a change from the old formula.&nbsp; Suz's suggestion for pattern is excellent, particularly for a young mom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987933 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 00:47:00 +0000 Angie 987933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the new cobalt skirt! Good going, Moni! You were spot on to add that item to your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987656 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 16:57:24 +0000 Sara L. 987656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so cool and summery in the bright skirt and white top!&nbsp; I think you have gotten a lot of good suggestions regarding colors.&nbsp; I like to wear cobalt with browns too.&nbsp; Cute baby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987525 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 14:20:10 +0000 Suz 987525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely skirt! And I am honoured to be in your cobalt-and-white company!&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think the grin is a worry. My white top does the same with my cobalt skirt and I have decided to ignore it. I think it is far more obvious in the camera's flash and eye than in real life.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love my cobalt with white, with black, with grey, with fuchsia, and with patterns that include those. A patterned top would be genius for hiding spills!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987507 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:50:09 +0000 Thistle 987507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely skirt. The length is perfect, and it is swishy, fun and flattering.&nbsp; I like it with the white, and I don't see grinning.&nbsp; You can also pair it with burgundy or black to take you into fall. Also, citron would go well if you have some in your closet already.</p> <p>And honestly, when you have such a super cute accessory, it is hard to see anything but awesomeness in your outfit&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987501 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:44:27 +0000 amiable 987501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt, and glad that you're shopping for the body you have now and your current lifestyle needs! &nbsp;You look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987377 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 10:02:14 +0000 Anonymous 987377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too much grinning at all! Great skirt. You have some super suggestions here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987372 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 09:28:42 +0000 Asingh 987372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mandipa, your baby is so cute! Just wanted to say that first.</p> <p>Coming to the outfit, the skirt looks great. You've mentioned that you don't wear a lot of orange and yellow. I suggest you try the skirt with a deep mustard or a red top. You could also try a beige top with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987366 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:08:00 +0000 Ornella 987366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful skirt. The colour + the style&nbsp;= heavenly for you.</p> <p>Ideas - anything patterned? It is very baby-friendly styling to wear patterned stuff, any marks show less :-D</p> <p>Btw, I saw your baby on the other thread quickly - how beautiful is he???? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987365 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:07:13 +0000 goldenpig 987365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mani, you look wonderful in cobalt!</p> <p><div>I love black white and cobalt. And emerald green and blue. Loving your perfectly matched accessory, too.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987361 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 07:48:43 +0000 ManidipaM 987361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! SO many great suggestions.</p> <p>Adelfa, if there's one thing I like better than a cobalt knit skirt, it is a cobalt knit maxi skirt! And you remind me I have a draped top in navy, grey and pink (!)---must try it with this, though not sure if it wouldn't be too much volume all over.</p> <p>High five, Deborah! What are you wearing yours with? I hadn't thought of denim, you know! Maybe I thought it would be too much blue? But I did fill my denim/chambray top/topper hole this year. So, that's another to certainly try.</p> <p>Firecracker, thank you! You made me light right up at aqua---there is a mint-y aqua orphan top that I need to pull out of storage. Will have to see if I can tuck it in, as the peplum may fight the flare.</p> <p>Lyn D., thanks!</p> <p>Laura, citron may be too much for me on top. But red, now that, like burgundy should be worth a shot. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987354 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 06:47:09 +0000 Laura B. 987354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable baby matches with everything :D</p> <p>I also think emerald, coral, or red could look really pretty.&nbsp; Citron would be amazing too if it's not too yellowy for your tastes.</p> <p>It also took me a long time to lose the baby weight so don't lose hope. Good luck in your journey </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987343 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 06:08:14 +0000 Lyn D. 987343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find that cobalt goes with lots of colours, and it looks lovely and fresh here with the white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987316 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 05:06:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 987316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit and the colors are so pretty on you. And your charming daughter is lovely, too. The skirt is well worth the indulgence; I'm sure you'll wear it a lot, because it looks so good on you. <br />I like cobalt with turquoise or aqua. I just have to hold up the items to see if they go--some do and some don't work so well, to my eye. <br />If I recall, I've seen Transcona Shannon pair cobalt with silver, too--gorgeous! For a dressier look, perhaps.</p> <p>Oh, and I'm not bothered by the grinning--it doesn't look too obvious in the photo. I do find it hard to wear light tops over dark pants sometimes, though; I use a dark cami, maybe not as dark as the pants, but dark-ish or medium toned, to break the line.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987300 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 04:34:56 +0000 Deborah 987300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful skirt and I love cobalt.&nbsp; He he, I am wearing my cobalt pencil skirt today :)&nbsp; I love cobalt with black, white and grey.&nbsp; Beth Ann's suggestion and example of burgandy is lovely too.&nbsp; You could try turquoise, pink, green, denim </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987299 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 04:33:59 +0000 Adelfa 987299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt looks really nice on you! I don't think the white grins enough to worry about. I wear cobalt with white, black, and gray. &nbsp;I also wear a cobalt skirt with a top that's a print in navy, gray, and pink. I'm going to try Beth Ann's pairing with my oxblood skinnies, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987298 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 04:30:19 +0000 ManidipaM 987298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann---Thanks for staying up to help! And ooh, burgundy! I had <b>not</b> thought that would work and must have missed that WIW! Very snazzy. I have a burgundy corduroy jacket that will have to come back into play when the temperatures ease up, I can see.</p> <p>Black...I'm <i>still</i> harbouring a little fear of black+brights. Must try and push past it. I do actually have several black tops in current rotation, so makes best sense. Thanks again for the late-night consult! :-D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987295 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 04:22:41 +0000 Beth Ann 987295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad I'm up late and got to see this, Mandipa!&nbsp; The color is stunning on you, and the length and shape are oh, so flattering!</p> <p>In those early months of parenting, the soft swish of a cool, easy care skirt and flash of a beautiful color can be such a pleasure!</p> <p>White and grey would look fab here, of course, as would black.&nbsp; I think this color often works with blue/green, although it's a pretty vibrant combo.&nbsp; I work cobalt with burgundy in the fall/winter and loved it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-cobalt-confession#post-987291 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 04:08:25 +0000 ManidipaM 987291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I confess when cobalt started turning up everywhere I resolved to turn away.</p> <p> I *adore* the colour and it is a great temptation.</p> <p>But knowing how much my body had to and has to morph and a tight budget had me resolved to keep out of shops.</p> <p>The body changed more yet slower than I expected, though. So the maternity wardrobe from early months isn't cutting it like I hoped. Had to shop to bypass the dreaded laundry bottleneck (cloth diapers are the bulk of it now).</p> <p>Honestly, though, this skirt is an indulgence. Especially as I already have one ordered earlier as emergency supply! But I liked it...and gave in to temptation on seeing Angie's birthday goodies and Suz's travel capsule. Bonus that the skirt is an easy-care knit! Came along with lace-trimmed top yesterday.</p> <p>Excuse candid shot and feel free to inform me what goes with cobalt besides white and grey. I don't wear yellow and orange much.... </p> <p>ETA: Does the top grin too much, do you think? I've not worn much white plus bright before, so not sure whether it is a trick of the camera... What do you experienced Fabbers say?</p> <p></p>
