It must take multiple layers (&amp; patience!) to get to the desired final effect.</p> <p>I actually ordered some metallic bronzed &amp; brown dyes for the first time this summer from Saphir and Kaps - didn't get round to actually applying it to my shoes when in the UK (when I had access to an actual outdoor garden - oops lol!), but maybe I'll try it on my balcony here once this cyclone dies down </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics/page/2#post-2278786 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 09:06:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2278786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits truly are artworks. Thanks for sharing them with us. Interesting observation about color vs shine. I fall pretty much on the other end of that spectrum, have several metallic pieces in my closet, most of them unworn because they just seem to fall for OTT special events for me. Love seeing how you wear yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics/page/2#post-2278764 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 02:03:25 +0000 Brooklyn 2278764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks Mary Beth.</p> <p>Angie, those boots are all kinds of awesome. I hope they are an indicator that more muted metallic boots are coming. Teal + metallic = perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics/page/2#post-2278748 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 00:56:53 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2278748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just so rich and gorgeous!&nbsp; &nbsp;Brooklyn, I say it every time:&nbsp; <b><u></u></b><u>your lewks never disappoint.</u><b><u></u></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics/page/2#post-2278732 Thu, 25 Aug 2022 23:01:31 +0000 Angie 2278732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too high, I know, <b>Brooklyn</b> - but for your viewing pleasure anyway. TEAL METALLIC, and bronze boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics/page/2#post-2278277 Tue, 23 Aug 2022 12:31:06 +0000 Brooklyn 2278277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Zaeobi, I just apply the polish with a rag, allow it to dry, then polish with a soft cloth. It’s pretty durable. Other brands might have similar metallic effect polishes to<br /> Tarrago. Maybe Saphir? There is a brand here called Mister Minit that seems comparable. Thanks for the tip on scratch sealant.</p> <p>Thanks ST!</p> <p>Thanks RobinF. Give it a go! It’s a great way to refresh a shoe you are a little tired of too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics/page/2#post-2278274 Tue, 23 Aug 2022 12:15:52 +0000 RobinF 2278274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh love this! And now I really want to bronze-ify some boots!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics/page/2#post-2278262 Tue, 23 Aug 2022 11:14:21 +0000 Anonymous 2278262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh that skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics/page/2#post-2278243 Tue, 23 Aug 2022 05:43:45 +0000 Zaeobi 2278243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful look - a long chocolate pleated skirt like that is surprisingly versatile, isn't it? I've worn mine for work to weddings &amp; everything in between </p> <p>Nice tip on the metallic footwear, thank you How do you apply it for the patina effect - with a brush, cloth or sponge? I can't access Tarrago specifically here but I came across the tip to apply some 'Scratch Doctor' sealant over the top of a leather dye to keep it in place. Might that help yours to last too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics/page/2#post-2278221 Tue, 23 Aug 2022 00:19:02 +0000 Brooklyn 2278221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Cheryl and Lyn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics/page/2#post-2278217 Tue, 23 Aug 2022 00:07:33 +0000 cheryl 2278217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and your style is just stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics#post-2278069 Mon, 22 Aug 2022 13:07:57 +0000 lyn67 2278069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm all going for the same when it comes to metallics "more glimmering than shiny-so more of a patina, aged, muted, blackened or brushed" suits me best-excluding maybe the occasional true shiny silver for accents on summer whites! Your outfit here looks really wonderfull-and thanx for the ideea of trying a metallic polish on an otherwise too dark or dull shoe!!:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics#post-2277934 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 03:31:54 +0000 Brooklyn 2277934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, Jaime.

Just beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics#post-2277915 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 01:42:09 +0000 Angie 2277915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn,</b> this top has your name on it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics#post-2277905 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 00:17:07 +0000 Brooklyn 2277905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenni. The Witchery jumper is a few years old now. You gotta snap up your metallics when you see them!</p> <p>Thanks Janet. I have the opposite problem, and have to be careful about wearing too much silver (clashes with my colouring and hair). I think I get away with the silver in the bag here because the overall effect of the outfit is warm. I wonder if you could do the opposite with your bronze pieces: wear them with silvers, greys and blues to cool them down?</p> <p>Angie thanks. Yes, footwear is key. I’m so glad that trends are favouring more practical footwear. </p> <p>SarahD8, who could get sick of that? Thanks!</p> <p>Nikki, thanks. I like that description. The skirt definitely has a liquid metallic feel, as opposed to a glittery/sparkly metallic feel (not that there’s anything wrong with that). </p> <p>And thanks Sal, Nat R, chiara, Suz, slim cat, JAileen, CG and Nancy W. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics#post-2277900 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 23:56:48 +0000 Nat R 2277900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics#post-2277898 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 23:17:52 +0000 Jenni NZ 2277898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn this is awesome, mind you I think that about all your outfits! Love Nikki’s comment about the skirt.<br /> I am really jealous of the bronze Witchery turtleneck though and only wish I had seen that back when it was available. Cannot see it on their website any more. I would like to do a Suntiger and carry that one off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics#post-2277897 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 23:04:47 +0000 Chiara 2277897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always find you ability to combine glamour and practicality so inspiring, thanks Brooklyn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics#post-2277890 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 22:46:18 +0000 Sal 2277890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit - these tones are just authentic to you and look awesome. </p> <p>I love the movement in the skirt with the practical but cool boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics#post-2277885 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 22:31:19 +0000 Angie 2277885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>I LOVE THAT JACKET!!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>How handy to have a handy hubs :)</p> <p>p.s. Your dog walking outfit philosophy is like mine. If I can move in the outfit and the feet are happy - it's all good! Polished but not precious.

Are you getting sick of hearing me say that? Well, it’s your own fault for posting such consistently great outfits.</p> <p>Something about the combo of subtly metallic skirt and subtly metallic footwear is really speaking to me. </p> <p>Also, *carries off that gorgeous bag* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics#post-2277823 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 13:48:35 +0000 Cardiff girl 2277823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What beautiful colours!I don’t think they read bling at all as they are muted,they look expensive if anything </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics#post-2277818 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 13:39:29 +0000 Janet 2277818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I share your love of muted metallics but my more flattering shades fall into the silver-gunmetal range. I may be letting go of my copper/bronze complement for this reason — my “new” hair seems to have made it feel too clashy with my coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-metallics#post-2277816 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 13:36:34 +0000 NancyW 2277816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning!
