  I love it, Joy. The black-out looks great with your white hair! Do you ever carry a white bag? That would really pop with this.

  I like the all black outfit a lot. The cropped pants look great with these fab sneakers and the bag is super. It is a bit difficult to see the textures of the cardi and the pullover in the picture, it’s a pity that it is so difficult to photograph black outfits. I can imagine from your description that it must look very interesting. I really like the silhouette and your accessories work perfectly with the outfit. You look fabulous and cool.

  Thank you, Jenn and Katerina. Jenn, that is a good idea to carry a white bag. I often use a black and mostly white bag but do have a newer white satchel. I will try to at least add the black and white one to Finds
  Katerina, I am sorry that the photos are so dark. The black over white was motivated by The blog photo with #4. There seemed to be very tiny white dots on the black top. The bits of white showing through the black semi- sheer top seemed to give a similar effect.

  A bit hard to see as always with black, but when I see I like!

• Joy replied 5 years ago

  Thank you. Shevia.

  You look great in this. The all black and boots are a bit harder edged, but in a very good way! I like Katerina s suggestion of a white bag. That B&w one looks like a winner.

  I think this looks really good on you.
  I also really like your w&b satchel for a different vibe with it.

• Sal replied 5 years ago

  I like it too! The silhouette is great in the black and your hair looks fab against the dark.

• Inge replied 5 years ago

  I love this silhouette on you, Joy, and agree that the black works great with your fab hair. Also love the idea of using your black-and-white satchel to add a bit of graphic contrast.

  Good outfit lab! I think trying the black& white bag would be super also.
  I have recently added some wide crops that I want to wear across seasons, and this is helping with ideas for dress up/ down.

  You are a stylish snow walker, Joy. 

  I like the suggestion of a white bag. Nice with your hair and eyewear. 

• Joy replied 5 years ago

  Many thanks.
  Angie, we woke up to a significant snowfall that is still coming down. I will repeat at least some version of this outfit with the shoes today.
  Unfrumped, these wide-legged crops work very well for all seasons. I was struggling with cold winter until Angie posted these ideas.
  Inge, Sal, Opaline and Karen, thank you for affirmation

  I like this on you. It really makes your beautiful hair stand out.

  I like how determined you are to try new looks!
  Very stylish :)

• Kim M replied 5 years ago

  This is a great look.  I think even a metallic bag would work well.  

• Joy replied 5 years ago

  J Aileen, thank you for the confidence boost.
  Taylor, I love trying new ways to wear what I have. I am seriously thinking of buying white Doc Martins though.
  Kim, I wear out metallic bags. Good idea to add some shine.

• Angie replied 5 years ago

  AND, I echo what Taylor said. You are fabulous, Joy. And inspire me. 

• Joy replied 5 years ago

  You are all so kind. If i inspire anyone at over 70, it makes my day! If I go out in this weather ( we just saw the Amazon delivery truck get stuck on our street), I will wear my closest boot to a combat boot with rolled jeans and black top and topper, although the topper will not be a cocoon coat. I have not found one yet but could use it today. The black puffer will be my stand in.

  You look amazing I love this colour and you had carried this amazingly I loved your style and dressing sense. You can also try lather wallets with this outfit It will add charm to your outfit.

• Joy replied 5 years ago

  Thank you, kalle. I don't know lather wallets. Do you mean leather? I need a large bag to carry all the stuff I need while out for awhile..medical stuff and bags always when shopping takes up the most room. A wallet only would be way too small for my needs. I do sometimes add a small shoulder bag or waist bag for my phone and keys in addition to my regular bag

• Jane replied 5 years ago

  I like the cropped trouserlook. Modern, fresh and practical I should think for walking in that weather.

  Especially love these wide legs with the Vibram sole sneakers and all blacks for a white and icy day! Great ideea with that white bag, too!
