WIW-My attempt of black-out

Veteran

I love white-out but never wore black-out, I think it does not work for me, but I decided to try. I shopped my closet and came up these outfits.
This top is an orphan, I love it but I couldn’t style it well. I only wore it with
black pants and white blazer. Angie’s post inspired me for these outfit which I wore yesterday.

I have not wide crops so I wore black straight ankle jeans, black top (picture #3), black cardigan, suede dark navy loafers, navy bag with
bandana, lapis lazuli necklace (#1), this was my day outfit. In the evening I
wore dark navy blazer instead of cardigan and dark navy patent bag with the same bandana.(#2). Bandana is black and gray snake print.

What do you think does it work? Can I wear black-out?

Any comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

Mirjana, you can do no wrong! Both outfits are fab. I prefer the second one because of the sharpness added by the jacket.

I think the pattern on that top counts as a chevron pattern. So of course I love it.

Grey Rainbow

You always look so chic and elegant! I love both outfits and the way you paired navy with black. You definitely can wear black!

Thank you very much Brooklyn for your compliment, I am blushing . It's not a pattern on the top it is some kind of flounce as a chevron one shine and the other opaque.
Thank you. Grey Rainbow for your kind words.

I am also more of a white clothing person because of my colouring, but this looks elegant! Maybe I will give it a try too.

Mirjana

Thanks Scarlet, surely give try that is what I did, just try, and that is the result.

Such a pretty outfit on you! The texture in the top and the navy accessories really elevate the look!

You are looking very chic!
Black easily looks harsh on people who don't have the ideal personal colouring for it, but one of the tricks that can make it work is to show a little more skin, as you have cleverly done here (neck/décolleté, arms and legs/feet). In addition, showing some skin makes a black outfit look more appropriate for summer.
Beautiful hair and makeup! And you look happy, which is very attractive.

You look fabulous and elegant. The textures on your lovely top may help break up the expanse of black

Absolutely! I think the open neckline makes it work.

You do blackout very well, Mirjana. I really like that top, especially with the jacket in the second photo.

Mirjana

Thanks The Cat and Shevia I agree with you showing some skin makes the outfit work.
Thank you very much Joy and Kate I am happy that you like the top now I can wear it with pleasure you encouraged me.

I am surprised by how much I like this on you, particularly the version with the jacket. It's very polished and chic! As always Mirjana, you have exquisite taste!

Veteran

Yes! Sophisticated and urbane. I agree with She is about the open neckline. Elongates the visual lines.
