Firecracker (Sharan) on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302636 Tue, 17 Jan 2023 04:57:59 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2302636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are fantastic outfits, and you look terrific. I'm enjoying your beach style! That Pucci-esque dress will be totally fab on you.

Sal on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302630 Tue, 17 Jan 2023 04:15:35 +0000 Sal 2302630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It’s funny with necklines- a couple of years ago it was all about crew necks. To me it’s the whole picture. I love halter necks- they are one of my favourites! Zaeobi on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302626 Tue, 17 Jan 2023 03:29:53 +0000 Zaeobi 2302626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YLF in all the outfits - can't pick a fave! Agree with @jessi - just picked up a bunch of halters with tie necks (like your photo #2) because they're useful! I like to wear them underneath low necklines because they add neck coverage without restricting the shoulders. They suit you too - I like how the black tank in #4 has those slightly 'cutaway' shoulders like a halter too. I'll come to NZ to enjoy that sun too, thanks Jessikams on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302582 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 23:50:06 +0000 Jessikams 2302582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How can halter be dated??? It was everywhere last summer! I don’t care, it’s my fave neckline and I will continue to wear it.

Your summery outfits make me happy Sal on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302555 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 20:23:04 +0000 Sal 2302555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks all - yes the black dress has the tiktok dated halter neckline.....I have to laugh at myself and it all sometimes.   I have some vanity and desire to stay looking current but there is an element of fashion that can be madness.  Yet I love it too! Yes it is a time of change and evolution (Jaime you are in a similar place).  You have to enjoy it and adapt, it is not always easy. Brooklyn - the dress I purchased is photo 6 - but not on me!  I will take it in tomorrow for the alteration I hope but I don't have a specific occasion lined up.  I hope one comes along!   Helena on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302532 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 17:33:20 +0000 Helena 2302532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WHAT a beautiful spot; thank you for sharing and hope you enjoyed! The dress is absolutely stunning and can't wait to see it in action. Love your outfits ... love TikTok, but in the same way that I love an overdramatic and highly random and spontaneous friend ... I can appreciate and enjoy them but I'm not taking advice from them! lyn67 on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302521 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 16:26:42 +0000 lyn67 2302521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I ray of sunshine on my gloomy- moody rainy afternoon, you are -place and outfits included!  Angie on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302508 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 15:32:49 +0000 Angie 2302508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your very Summery outfits are as KILLER as these pics, Sal! (Can I be whisked off to a beach somewhere too? Please!) CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE PUCCI-ESQUE DRESS! It's going to look sublime after alteration :) I LOVE you in your dresses - you know that! But that's the best denim shorts beach look I've seen on the almost 17 years of YLF. Just. So. Stinking. Cute!  kkards on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302504 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 15:25:05 +0000 kkards 2302504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Breathtaking scenery and if we all stopped wearing what tik tok says is out, I think we’d have nothing to wear.  <div>Great denim shorts, and the dresses are all winners…as is the skirt, not sure what is divisive about it, but I like it.  </div> Irina on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302487 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 14:08:53 +0000 Irina 2302487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How I missed this? Happy New year, Sal! Thanks for gorgeous pictures!

I love the beach outfit (I love anything that screams beach, Summer ) and the black outfit (do you mean the halter neck is dated? Who cares, halter necks in my opinion are very flattering). I also like very much the two dresses. Thank you for posting such beautiful marine scenes! Just what I need - today the fog in Milan is so thick I can barely see the buildings in front of my office.  Suz - let's organize a YLF meeting in NZ.  Cardiff girl on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302456 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 10:37:10 +0000 Cardiff girl 2302456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Omg,what a gorgeous place ,stunning photos. l dont care whether Tik tok says something’s dated or not l think that dress is fab and will look wonderful on you and that’s all the matters ,anyway only teenagers look at tik tok(!) you have some lovely summer pieces.

I went to Queenstown once; been trying to get back there ever since! My favorite outfit is the cutoff shorts, very cute with the hat and short kimono! I am excited to see your stylings of the pucci style dress once you have the alterations made. I forget that things can be altered lol Sally on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302435 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 05:19:05 +0000 Sally 2302435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As always you look very together and stylish. You have a great wardrobe which allows you to put together a variety of interesting, occasion-appropriate choices. That new dress is stunning. I love the South Island. My son turned 17 last week and has one more year of high school. Big milestones indeed. slim cat on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302433 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 05:13:47 +0000 slim cat 2302433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your new shorts and the whole "light boho" look - fab! The dress and skirt are pretty and look great - and so your vacation pictures !

We really are in milestone parallel! Beautiful pictures and you look gorgeous. Which neckline has TikTok declared dated? Wait until next week and TikTok will change its mind.

And yes the new dress is glam - it was a spontaneous buy so I hope I get enough wear Thanks Nikki - denim shorts are super useful aren't they  Pleased you like the skirt - I do too but the colours make it a bit tricky Anonymous on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302398 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 02:45:48 +0000 Anonymous 2302398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Happy New Year! Love the new shorts! I cut two of my jeans to wear as shorts this summer. It’s early to plan for summer outfits because it is a ways off but am doing it anyways ;) Fabulous summer dresses and I’m glad you kept the skirt. It was a fave of mine from your previous skirt post. Wonderful new dress. Adore the color combination! Awesome holiday pics. They look like postcards. Congrats on the family milestones! Suz on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302395 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 02:18:47 +0000 Suz 2302395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sally, first of all, what gorgeous photos! I want to come visit you ASAP! :)  Not least because of your fab outfits. The new shorts look great on you, as do all the other outfits. The two dresses are perfect and I'm glad you kept the skirt. I remember the discussion around it and wasn't sure about it at the time, but I can see it will continue to get some wear, so why not? The new dress is going to be fantastic on you! Such a fun print, very glam.  Sal on "2023 WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-wiw#post-2302391 Mon, 16 Jan 2023 02:12:23 +0000 Sal 2302391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Happy 2023! I am half way through my extended leave from work and things are very relaxed in terms of style and clothes. I am yet to set firm goals re my wardrobe but I don’t see too much changing. We have been away a few times - both prior to Christmas and since. I am home at the moment and my youngest son turns 18 today. My older son graduated in mid December so there’s a lot of milestones. I finished my two month shopping hiatus and added two new pieces in January. Firstly denim shorts to replace a low rise pair and a white pair. Very very casual - and perfect for the beach or days at home. Definitely an essential for me - I prefer a shorter length on me - longer ones never feel right. I have added a wildcard statement too. A 70s Pucci inspired midi dress. It needs an alteration to reduce the plunging neckline but it will be a good all year piece. Four WiW - and a few pics from a week in the South Island. - it’s a bit 2017 but this is as boho as I go for a day at the beach with friends. Wearing the new shorts. - I saw on TikTok that this neckline is also dated. Oh well. Wearing for an at home day. - last year’s favourite dress worn to dinner with friends. - a work look from December. The skirt is divisive. I plan to keep it but it’s not a workhorse. I have been reading the forum and enjoying seeing others posts and thoughts!
