WIW : Weekend Wear - YouLookFab Forum

Hi Ladies,

Apologies for being a bit scarce this weekend. Spent the day in Melbourne on Saturday with my sister rather unsuccessfully shopping the Essendon Direct Factory Outlets, followed by a birthday function in the evening upon my return and then a crazy day of family stuff today.

This is somewhat unexciting but it was today's outfit for visiting my MIL, doing the groceries and general running around. I did add my bulky grey and white scarf while out of the house but forgot to get a pic.

The hooded cardigan is a sample I picked up yesterday with my sister. Purely a casual piece, I thought it was a little bit of a change from my oversized tops. I have layered a white cotton tank and then a long tunic length black tank under the cardi.

Ok for casual weekend wear? I'm thinking a bit of colour (maybe coral) could work under it also?

Thanks for taking the to take a look.

Certainly ok for casual wear, you do look casual but still with that Deborah touch.

Apart from the hood I would say you could also dress it up, but it looks great here how you styled it. And bring on the coral!

Great hoodie!

That's a gorgeous little cardi and suits your style perfectly. There must have been a typo in your thread - did you really mean *coral*? Bring it on :-).

Yes , for the coral, great sweater and casual look for all your errands of the day!

I think it needs the longer layer underneath to be more contrast-y- to add more length- the coral sounds perfect!
Sounds like you were the only one to make a purchase yesterday?
I haven't had much success at outlets like this- alot of the stuff seems to be oddments that haven't sold elsewhere.
Loving your black booties!

Deborah

Thanks Lyn, yes a greater contrast would work better I think. My sister did quite well yesterday and picked up quite a few things. I find the Moorabbin outlets is where I have the most success, I wouldn't bother with Essendon again

Deb does casual so fabulously! I really like the bit of white peeking out. This outfit still is true to your style. Coral could be your new red.

Love the new addition to your wardrobe! I think it slots in perfectly, with a more casual vibe.

It's been really chilly here this weekend, so seeing your outfit today, I just want to reach in and wrap a scarf around your neck! Glad you put one on as you walked out the door!!

I also struggle with DFOs - I find I have better luck if I just shop the sales in my local malls, than going to outlets, with the exception of shoes - outlets are great for shoes!

great sweater, and love your hair!

Very cute! I'd like to see it with color (coral) too. You have such a fabulous style, Deborah. This piece is a nice variation on your oversized tops look.

CocoLion

I love every detail here. If you want to add color, how about a colorful bag?

harmonica

Love this casual outfit! And your hair is great. I like the idea with a pop of color - coral would be fun

Debra

Casual and stylish......a great outfit, I'm thinking this would be great to wear to my grandsons soccer practice

Lantana

What's this, you're thinking coral?
What's going on?

Just kidding Deborah, a spot of colour would be lovely.

Powder blue?

Lol! Just for the record, I have three coral coloured toppers. 2 blouses and an open weave sweater :). Oh and I have a coral coloured jacket...that I haven't worn yet

So ... You are a closet coral wearer

Suz

That is a very Deborah hoodie! Who would have thought such a thing existed, even. Very cool.

Raisin

That's a perfect casual outfit!

pil

That is the most glamorous casual hoodie I've ever seen!

Beth Ann

Lovely, Deborah! Love the shape and scale of the stripe, here. I think it would look great with cobalt or claret underneath, too!

Transcona Shannon

I think this is a great casual outfit Deb and totally works with your style. Love the hooded cardigan. I like the idea of adding some color under the cardigan. I adore the wedge sneakers on you.

Lisa

Great casual outfit. I like the hood on the cardigan, it's an unexpected touch of fun to this look. I think this would be lovely remixed with almost any color but especially bright colors including the coral you mentioned.
