The skirt is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up/page/2#post-2149500 Thu, 22 Oct 2020 03:49:43 +0000 Brooklyn 2149500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Gigi. You might be in luck this Winter. Lots of dark green and mid browns here. </p> <p>Thanks Leslie. I like those colours too. </p> <p>Dana, thanks. Both Mum and I enjoy the opportunity to dress up a bit for dinner now that we can’t go out much. Mum usually wears some very blingy jewellery. She admired my ring (from Etsy) and wants me to get her one too.</p> <p>Angie, yes that’s very me! I keep this photo as style inspiration. But no heels </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up/page/2#post-2149486 Thu, 22 Oct 2020 01:08:23 +0000 Gigi 2149486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, that is one gorgeous skirt! And you have styled it perfectly, with that belt.</p> <p>Yes, I do try to stock up when I can if I am craving a particular color. I'm currently loving dark green, which unlike in your neck of the woods hasn't been very readily available recently, at least from what I've seen. Last spring I bought a cropped green turtleneck, and it's actually too short to wear with anything but my very highest rises--which is a bummer. And rust...another color I'd love to have in my wardrobe. Yummy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up/page/2#post-2149472 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 23:56:52 +0000 Leslie 2149472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous! Tall, thin, and elegant. The skirt is beautiful.</p> <p>I hoard true/blue red, burgundy, and bluer-leaning dark greens. I know my good colors when I see them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up/page/2#post-2149456 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 21:23:14 +0000 Angie 2149456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, I'm sure you'll rock the white top! And saw this look which reminded me of you - although you will sub with flat boots :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up/page/2#post-2149348 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 05:08:58 +0000 Dana 2149348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute outfit! Gosh, I never get that dressed up to go to my mom's.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hmmm...I'm liking the idea of stocking up on favorite colors. It definitely seems like the minute you start liking a new favorite, it's impossible to find. Even harder is finding the right shade.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up/page/2#post-2149343 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 03:21:24 +0000 Brooklyn 2149343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Laurie, KG, Karen13, TG, LBD and RobinF. I am truly smitten with the skirt. I can’t believe my good luck in finding it.</p> <p>TG and Karen, those (possible) additions sound great. I’d love a forest green hat too.</p> <p>Bijou, no worries. Your blazer is beautiful. You rock the bright blues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up/page/2#post-2149320 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 21:55:21 +0000 Laurie 2149320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is SUCH a gorgeous, smashing outfit. Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up/page/2#post-2149293 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 16:36:16 +0000 Helena 2149293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, so beautiful. You do your signature style to perfection!</p> <p>I share your love of all the beautiful jewel and dark greens around right now - I have to restrain myself as I have a couple of tops and a cardi already ... but I might have to do a winter hat and scarf in the shade while I can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up/page/2#post-2149281 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 16:01:08 +0000 kellygirl 2149281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, moody, floral. Dramatic and so&nbsp; you. I love it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up/page/2#post-2149273 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 15:11:03 +0000 karen13 2149273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You are just stunning! Forest green is one of my favorite colors and for some reason I have almost none of it. My pandemic life makes it hard to justify buying anything right now. Maybe I should look for some deep green sweatpants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149254 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 12:32:00 +0000 RobinF 2149254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit! Love the skirt, what a great find. I don't think I stock up on colors because I tend to forget that they might not be available next year. I should get better at thinking ahead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149244 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 11:29:27 +0000 Bijou 2149244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, I do love that COS jacket - but I will refrain from getting it because I have a blue blazer in that colour which is a good match for my blue bag.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149207 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 01:47:07 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2149207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am dying over how beautiful your outfit is!&nbsp; &nbsp; And yes, I stock up on my favorite colors when I see them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149205 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 00:57:41 +0000 Brooklyn 2149205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Lots of colour hoarders here. I feel better :)</p> <p>Like Jessi, sometimes I don’t know if I’ve overdone it. But like nuancedream I also remember so well that LONG period in which it seemed you could only get black, white, grey and navy. And then I start to have a colour starvation problem that causes me to jump on items that are the right colour but wrong in some other respect (fit, style, fabric).</p> <p>Sisi, you have the opposite problem to me. I struggle to find the darker colours I prefer (except black) in spring/summer. Light colours look fantastic in winter. But they are hard to find. I love a column of winter white. </p> <p>Star, that’s lovely! Thank you.</p> <p>Angie, look forward to seeing your turquoise! And you read my mind about the summer version of the skirt. I do wear white tops in summer sometimes too. But I need to build up several layers of fake tan first </p> <p>Nemosmom, that sounds like me. I saw a dark green mock neck top at a local retailer. I have a similar one but it’s a turtleneck. Still I debated getting the mock neck, but in the end I didn’t. It sold out within days! Now I wonder if I made a terrible mistake! A dark green mock neck top may never come my way again. Argh!!</p> <p>FI, full length pants are still hard to find here. I’d love another pair too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149165 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 18:07:43 +0000 Jane 2149165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is stunning and I love the belt too.</p> <p>Smokey navy blue grey is difficult to find and I stock up if I see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149158 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 17:17:19 +0000 nemosmom 2149158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>WOW WOW WOW You look so great in this outfit! You rock the tneck/midi/boots formula like no one else! And that belt is super cool, too!</div><div><br /></div><div>I giggled at kkards' comment - I think I have hoarded olive and earthy greens.&nbsp;&nbsp; I do still feel a twinge of panic when I see an item in a desired color and FOMO if I don't snatch it up...&nbsp; I am getting better at NOT buying something JUST because it's green, and trying to vet the item a little better... </p> <p>I do wish I had added more rusts and chocolates when they were available...<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149152 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:57:57 +0000 Anonymous 2149152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning. You're killing me with these outfits. &nbsp;Love the belt too - perfect unexpected detail.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149150 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:57:12 +0000 kkards 2149150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, i totally understand, years ago it was so hard to find navy, so when it finally started showing up again i became a semi hoarder. Now i actually have to tell myself there are other colors out there, and I don’t need to own all the navy!&nbsp;<br />Love a skirt that will work in winter and summer...and i love butterflies, so this outfit (especially the skirt( is a double win for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149148 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:53:21 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2149148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this new skirt, and the belt is a perfect accent. It will be interesting to see how you style it for warmer weather.</p> <p>I also keep an eye out for particular colors: periwinkle and lilac and teal being high on the list. I am currently resisting a periwinkle blouse that I don't need but know would be flattering (the find shows the burgundy). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149144 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:20:49 +0000 JAileen 2149144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit! &nbsp;The skirt is especially pretty.<div><br /></div><div>You should always stock up when you see your colors. &nbsp;Right now I’m on an olive kick. &nbsp;Not too dark, though.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149140 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:01:49 +0000 Roxanna 2149140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes! I am stocking up on rust and hazelnut like nobody's business and would LOVE to find something in bottle green - you are right that it is so hard to find these days. You look like a long, lean drink of water :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149137 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 15:43:37 +0000 Liesbeth 2149137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I've only started thinking about this recently, with colors seeming to have taken a different direction this year which don't suit me as well (the opposite of your situation I guess). I should have stocked up on blue based burgundies more, lol!<br /> Otoh, I have permitted myself quite a few purchases in seafoam this year (also my color of the year) because it's such a specific color that's been having a (no doubt short) moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149132 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 14:44:27 +0000 Joyful 2149132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning in forest green and you skirt is so pretty. The bag goes perfectly. :)</p> <p>I wear a lot of pink-coral which is not a color I ever thought I'd go for, but it looks well on me. This past summer was a good year for coral so I stocked up quite a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149121 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 14:27:55 +0000 Angie 2149121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER Gorgeous. Love the matching and belt bling!</p> <p>Very you,<b> Brooklyn</b>! Of course you had to get it :)&nbsp;</p> <p>You can wear the skirt in Summer with your Docs sandals and a dark sleeveless top, maybe?&nbsp;</p> <p>It's a good idea to stock up on hard-to-find colours these days, if budget allows. Hence I am stocking up on turquoise and waving to <b>Bijou.&nbsp;</b></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149118 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 14:16:35 +0000 nuancedream 2149118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, you're beyond stunning in dark green. What a find with that gorgeous skirt and I'm having some serious belt envy with that green circle belt.&nbsp; I absolutely stock up on my favorite colors when they're available.&nbsp; I remember about 10 or 11 years ago, brown in any shade was almost impossible to find and black, navy, and gray dominated retail offerings. Great selection for those cooler toned ladies, not so much for me.&nbsp; Right now, I am on the lookout for warm-toned greens and turquoise.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149116 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 14:12:33 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2149116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a beautiful skirt and I love the classic fall boots, but this outfit is really a study in how small “extras” are what makes the outfit. That belt and ring are just perfect.<br /> To answer your question, I hope full length pants are normal and the period when they were hard to find will remain an aberration, but I def feel the need to have plenty in my closet, now that my ankles can be covered again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149114 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 13:51:18 +0000 celia 2149114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt is gorgeous and the whole outfit looks fabulous on you.<br />Count me in on the team that stocks up on favorite colors. This winter that there is this fabulous cold green that hasn't been around for the past years and also rusts and cold browns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butterflies-stocking-up#post-2149112 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 13:37:26 +0000 Sisi 2149112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is beautiful and &nbsp;you look fab! I also like how your&nbsp;ring matches the skirt.&nbsp;. </p> <p>About stocking up on favourite colours: if I could, I would! My favourite colours - light colours,&nbsp;white, pastels - are so difficult to find in retail, especially in Fall/Winter. &nbsp;I had an incredible luck this past Summer, I was able to find a sky-blue blouse, a pair of pink pants and a white short puffer that I&nbsp;am wearing every day&nbsp;since the beginning of October !</p>
