WIW : To Go Shopping! - YouLookFab Forum

Happy Thursday!

One of my DH's closest friends and his wife have relocated to our town and today I took the wife out as she wanted to check out our shops. We went to the large shopping complex here and shopped, enjoyed a coffee, and may have bought a couple of things?!?!?

Pretty typical outfit for me!

Gauzy tie jacket - Target (#3 just to show you the fabric)
Drape Dress - Boohoo (#2 to show the drape of the dress)
Leather/Suede Leggings - Zara
(bought this at a Melbourne meet up and always think of LynD and CarolB when I were them - infact they helped me choose these)
Ankle Boots - Hush Puppies
Handbag : Nine West
#6 one of my favourite rings!
Earrings : Gift from our beautiful Karie!

So cannot wait to show you but I bought a long sleeveless jacket in light grey. No lapel and it's gorgeous:) It's actually my Mothers Day present from Master 12 so I may have to let him wrap it for Sunday!!

Thanks for looking.

PS... the grey sleeveless jacket looks like the one I found on Pinterest in pic #7

Beautiful! Of course I have a huge soft spot for houndstooth anything and I love how that bag makes a fun juxatposition with your outfit. Also love the new vest and look forward to seeing it in rotation.

Thanks ladies!

Lyn I am finding everything in my wardrobe works together for the most part, which is exciting and has me looking forward to getting dressed each day:)

Suz, I found houndstooth fabric gloves today...I was so tempted!!

You are on a style roll beautiful lady And I can hardly wait to see the gray sleeveless jacket...

Lyn D.

Yes, great memories of that day and Zara Deborah, and the leggings were a good- buy
Looking forward to seeing the new vest!

You went shopping with me today (in my head, as a visual example) as my bestie and I hit Nordstrom's Topshop boutique and found the perfect black dress. One of your things, it looks like a mini on the model and is below the knee on the tiny person. My friend actually sized me down, and it looks great. Perfect
Thanks for your help, I truly would not have identified this as a style I could pull off if you had not been generous about sharing your IRL take on it.
You look fab today, taking more notes. Houndstooth....yessss.

Lyn D we must do it again soon:)

Olivegreen, you are so kind. The only downside to YLF is that I am far away from some of you:(. I would love to shop with you IRL:). That dress is gorgeous and I actually suspect it's much more attractive at the longer length it is on us petites. I do hope you will show us??

Way to intimidate the noobs with your fashionableness, Deborah!

Hahaha - Lisa - ! Anyways - wow, Deborah. I can never quite tell what is going on in pictures with black and drapeyness, but boy are you looking great. And I am really liking your hair at this length too. I love the additional touches here that take any look from great, to outstanding: the perfectly manicured nails, the ring, a bag with interest, and artisan earrings. Looking forward to seeing this new grey vest of yours too. I want to be you when I grow up

dakotacheryl

Totally fabulous, and your ring/manicure shot is beautiful too!!

Curious...what did your new friend wear to go shopping? I find that I consider what my friends will be wearing when I'm with them as a couple of them dress so much more casually that I might for a given occasion.

Hugs and high fives for friends, near and far.
Ummlila, made me spit a little.coffee there, so true! Yes, if Deborah was not so nice, with the little funny or soft touches, she would look formidably well dressed. As someone else said about YLF lessons, it is the juxtaposition:-)

Deb, you're looking chic and elegant a usual. Love the multi media leggings. Your new vest looks like a great new item and I bet the houndstooth bag will look good with it too.

Elizabeth P

I thought I'd commented on this!
Sounds like a fun, and productive day. You look amazing, as usual. Can't wait to see the vest in action.

carolbee

Sorry about the late reply, been away for a couple of days. You do rock those leggings. Looking forward to seeing the new vest styled. Also looking forward to another meetup, one day.....

Karie

Total gorgeousness, girlfriend! Another fab outfit and oh my how I love that purse! Cant' wait to see the new vest styled. I have been looking for something similar in white or cream.

Cococat

You look amazing! I love that you bought your dress at Boohoo. I've had no luck there so far. Maybe I need to look harder and be more imaginative.

Sheila

Woohoo ! You look fabulous ( as per usual ) ! and the purse rocks... Can't wait to see the new addition... Happy Mother's Day Deb !

jackiec

Gorgeous, Deb! What a kind thing to do, taking out a new gal in town. I bet she really appreciated that. You look impeccable as always. Can't wait to see the new grey vest on you. Bet it's awesome. What a nice DS

Btw i love your impeccable nails!

gryffin

Stunning outfit Deborah and just stellar with the bag. I love how you manipulate texture and length so elegant. Those are fab leggings. I usually wear mine with a shorter tunic but I really like this and will have to play with your proportions. That's such a lovely memory that they evoke of a special day, wonderful. I do love my leather leggings I find them so versatile and they just up the cool factor of whatever you wear!! Happy Mother's day!!

Melissa

I am late in chiming in.......Deborah! You look amazing!!! I am putting you at the top of my list of ladies that I want to be like when I "grow up"! At first glance, I thought you were wearing knee high boots....then I read your details in your post...So neat to see all of the layers or details that you pulled together in one chic, black ensemble. Love everything, not sure I could wear any single one item and look half as great! Really chic look!!!!!!!!!!Really!!
