Lots of poly and poly mix summer dresses feel too hot in the West Australian heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/barbiecore-for-a-party#post-2310571 Mon, 27 Feb 2023 11:56:49 +0000 jussie 2310571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful and fun and classy as always. The belt really tops it all off. I don’t even wear belts, but I want that belt! I must say I am surprised you found the pink dress to be elusive… I feel as though pink dresses are fairly widely available atm? Maybe you had a very specific style in mind though.<br /> Like you, I feel slightly cringey at the term Barbiecore or barbie pink.. buuut, I also find it is the perfect description of that oh-so-beautiful hot pink, so I use the term despite the connotations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/barbiecore-for-a-party#post-2310565 Mon, 27 Feb 2023 11:30:53 +0000 lyn67 2310565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow,&nbsp; a gorgeous dress(love the crickle effect!!!), which you styled so fab!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/barbiecore-for-a-party#post-2310522 Mon, 27 Feb 2023 02:20:24 +0000 Bijou 2310522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PaulaB - I had a great time and a big hug to you!</p> <p>Carla - I can understand why you would wear bright pink sparingly - it is a fun accent colour too.</p> <p>Jonesy - that is high praise indeed - thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/barbiecore-for-a-party#post-2310497 Mon, 27 Feb 2023 00:01:30 +0000 Jonesy 2310497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

One rule, no stealing of handbags allowed!</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b> - you made me laugh - Barbiecore is all about pink to excess!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Tanya</b> - the new Bao Bao is a special piece that DH hunted online to find a new one from the 2015 collection.</p> <p><b>Kkards </b>- the dress is surprisingly versatile, a nice piece for a summer holiday.</p> <p><b>ChristelJ </b>- it is interesting how what I wear directly affects my mood. I definitely find wearing certain clothing puts me in a different frame of mind.</p> <p><b>Dee</b> - this shade of pink is quite loud!</p> <p><b>Helena</b> - Barbiecore is meant to be fun and so I just wanted to play that up with this excessive look.</p> <p><b>LJP</b> - the dress on its own is a lovely piece and not so over the top when worn with a flat sandal. The cotton fabric sold it to me as it is a beautiful weight and sheen.</p> <p><b>Claire C</b> - I totally agree about the downside of when a favourite colour is trending - sometimes it can feel a bit much even though when I first heard that pink was trending, I was thrilled to think that I would be about to buy a few items in the colour again.</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - I am humbled!</p> <p><b>Bonnie</b> - I find dresses like this in my wardrobe get the most wear, as they can be dressed up and down depending on the situation.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Slim Cat</b> - thank you!</p> <p><b>Blue Jay</b> - it was a fun party and nice to see a few people that I have not seen since 2020.</p> <p><b>Sal </b>- it looks like that bag needs protection!</p> <p><b>Suz</b> - Barbiecore is good for days when I am feeling ready to party.</p> <p><b>JenniNZ</b> - please come to Perth - I promise I will wear pink just for you. We would have so much fun together!</p> <p><b>Irina</b> - the very bright pink does take a bit of getting used to - it was a bit of an initial shock on me too.</p> <p><b>Rachy</b> - a wall of Barbies - you are so cool!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/barbiecore-for-a-party#post-2310177 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 22:34:21 +0000 rachylou 2310177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!</p> <p>I love Barbie.

Coincidentally, I tried on a dress in this exact color last weekend. It overpowered me as I knew it would and I had to leave it behind but I love the color anyway.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/barbiecore-for-a-party#post-2310153 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 19:45:43 +0000 Jenni NZ 2310153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that’s so fun! It makes me want to come to Perth just to visit you! You look gorgeous.<br /> I love bright pink too and will ignore any “trends” that suggest I wear it for any other reason than loving it.<br /> Glad you had fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/barbiecore-for-a-party#post-2310143 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 18:53:14 +0000 Suz 2310143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in that shade of pink!

I think it is hard when a color favorite is on trend for a bit. It feels less like a "you" signature and more like you are aimlessly following trends. Though as always confidence gives away that it is a signature. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/barbiecore-for-a-party#post-2310089 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 13:27:42 +0000 LJP 2310089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a gorgeous dress - and love your new bag too ! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/barbiecore-for-a-party#post-2310082 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 13:05:04 +0000 Helena 2310082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE ...

Absolutely fabulous dress and styling in that perfectly Bijou way. How wonderful to get energy from what you wear; that sounds ideal to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/barbiecore-for-a-party#post-2310067 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 12:21:32 +0000 kkards 2310067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m amazed at how different the dress looks with the belt. &nbsp;Takes it from a relaxed running errands look, which is what I’m imagining the model is doing, to sophisticated party ready, which is clearly what you’ve managed&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/barbiecore-for-a-party#post-2310059 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 11:05:54 +0000 Tanya 2310059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress, it is a very flattering shade of pink!

Love it!!</p> <p>You rock Bijou. I would want to talk to for you for sure. And steal your BaoBao bag too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/barbiecore-for-a-party#post-2310050 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 10:24:41 +0000 Bijou 2310050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was a bit annoyed when I heard the term Barbiecore being applied to dressing in bright pink, because I love the colour and felt that the Barbiecore trend may ruin the colour for me.</p> <p>Luckily that has not happened since I came upon what has been a highly elusive wardrobe item (HEWI) - a pink sundress. I went totally maximal on wearing it to a friend's rather late Chinese New Year party with some former work colleagues and enjoyed the fun and vibrance of this crazy colour. I only knew a few people at the party but found my outfit made it easy to socialise for two reasons: </p> <ul> <li>I feel energised and happy when wearing bright colours; and</li> <li>People often find me more approachable when I am dressed like this, with my outfit often being an initial topic of conversation.</li> </ul> <p>Maybe Barbie was onto something because I had a fun time at the party. </p> <p>Dress: Devotion<br /> Scarf: Moschino teddy scarf<br /> Bag: NEW! Metallic Bao Bao that DH bought for my January birthday Belt - Gucci<br /> Boots - about 5 years old - but I have been wearing them often this summer. </p>
