    Oh now that IS a lot of fun! That woman is using the black as a springboard off into something much more exciting.

    I am glad to see that you are not following that silly rule about never mixing black with brights as it cheapens the look. For some of us that is the only way we can pull off a mostly black outfit. Never liked myself in black and red though, strange isn't it?

    I could totally pull this one of! As well as the coral & turquoise version.

    Gorgeous accessories! I'm so drawn to that vibrant Etro scarf– even though I've been disappointed in the past by the skimpiness of the length of just such an oblong Etro paisley. Am I the only one who thinks that Etro scarf sizes aren't nearly luxurious enough for the price?

      I've never seen one in person, and I'm not going to spend $300 on a scarf, but I love it, too!

    Given the unrest in this world, black is a good choice right now.

    A great combo for someone who is forced to wear a black uniform but allowed to dress it up to show their personality. FYI, the link for the Julia Cocco scarf is not working.
