They are fantastic, as is the whole look!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2225199 Sun, 19 Sep 2021 12:08:06 +0000 Bijou 2225199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, both you and your Mum look so beautiful. I am sorry that you have been in such a long and strict lockdown. As someone who is fully vaccinated, I am looking forward to when everyone has the opportunity to receive the vaccine and life can return to normal. You have done so well to keep dressing up and looking gorgeous for your visits with your Mum. She looks so happy to be with you. My Mum always loved me to dress up when I visited her. I remember dropping my son off at school and a friend asked where I was going to and thought it was brilliant that I was all dressed up for a visit with my Mum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2225198 Sun, 19 Sep 2021 11:39:05 +0000 Gail 2225198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the burgundy on you its so elegant and is really nice with your Moms florals. The boots are great I'm usually on the lookout for a slim calf boot . Having said that I don't wear them as much as I used to, my life is so casual these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2225144 Sun, 19 Sep 2021 02:20:02 +0000 Brooklyn 2225144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenni. I was thinking the same thing. I have only one pair of tall boots now that has a 5 cm heel and I have not worn them at all this year (admittedly the lockdown may have affected this). Flatter boots are way more practical for me.</p> <p>UmmLila thanks! I leave a set of “work clothes” at my mum’s place for when I mow her lawns in summer and do other jobs around the house. Maybe you could do the same? </p> <p>And thanks minaminu, Theresa and Gryffin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2225113 Sun, 19 Sep 2021 00:51:06 +0000 Jenni NZ 2225113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, from experience, I would suggest not buying the boots with too high a heel. I just do not wear mine, beautiful as they are, own 4 pairs with only moderate heels and so far this year have worn one of them once :(<br /> Flatter boots, 12 wears for olive pair, 31 wears for Minx metallic pair, and 7 wears for cobalt pair. It’s a very obvious difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2224930 Sat, 18 Sep 2021 11:57:39 +0000 gryffin 2224930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh two of the loveliest ladies ever!! Mom looks fantastic. Just vibrant. I love you outfit color is wonderful a it still has all the elegance and interest just more subtle. Necklaces are great. You talents are endless with haircuts! You are very resourceful!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2224929 Sat, 18 Sep 2021 11:50:22 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2224929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous -- you, your mother, your dog, the garden. I'm off for lunch with my mom today, too. It's always a balance for me between dressing up a little to see her, and also knowing that she will ask me to work on something around the house and that I might end up changing lightbulbs in heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2224915 Sat, 18 Sep 2021 10:25:54 +0000 ANewMindset 2224915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!! You look amazing, and so does your mother! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2224911 Sat, 18 Sep 2021 09:46:26 +0000 Minaminu 2224911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super glam as usual! your mum is also a fab dresser and you cut her hair very well! I like that you coordinated colours in the outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2224884 Sat, 18 Sep 2021 04:05:53 +0000 Brooklyn 2224884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the lovely comments and lockdown empathy. And thanks for all the compliments to my mum. I will be sure to pass them on. I am happy that we’ve been able to eke something good out of these times.</p> <p>I don’t know about the teal boots. The heel height is the main issue. I really prefer a lower heel from a practicality perspective. I walked about 6 km in the burgundy pair yesterday no problems. Plus I like the juxtaposition of a flatter, more casual boot against a dressy skirt. But I’m definitely going to think on it some more. (If someone on the forum buys them, I may crack!)</p> <p>NM, I didn’t see that jacket. Now I will have to spend some quality Saturday time browsing Boden!</p> <p>Lozz, I liked the first lockdown better. When hairdressers were open! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2224883 Sat, 18 Sep 2021 03:55:19 +0000 rachylou 2224883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How cool! You guys are quite coordinated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2224840 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 22:57:28 +0000 Jenni NZ 2224840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning as usual and it’s so great to see your Mum. She is beautifully dressed too. Great job on her haircut. I was very lucky to have happened to get my hair cut on 14 August before our shock lockdown on 17 August. Otherwise it would have been my DH cutting it a bit for me like last year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2224712 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 15:33:23 +0000 Jonesy 2224712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and your mother look gorgeous--her garden is a fitting backdrop for her lovely floral top. I continue to admire your midi skirt and tall boots collections!

I feel honoured to have glimpsed your beautiful mother! I can see the resemblance. And we know where you get your love of florals! Love how colour coordinated you were. She looks so happy to be with you, and no wonder.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated/page/2#post-2224707 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 15:07:38 +0000 RobinF 2224707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous as usual!

And yes, you need those teal boots, girl. I love the pic of your mom -- it makes me miss my mom, who also wore florals and all kinds of colors beautifully. I love that you have weekly lunches with her (we did something similar, it's hard to believe its been 13 years since we did that). Treasure the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated#post-2224685 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 14:36:07 +0000 Anonymous 2224685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, your mom looks so pretty, and what a wonderful backdrop of flowers , too! &nbsp;Those Boden teal boots need to get into someone's closet asap - why not yours? &nbsp;Lol. &nbsp;What I like about your outfit here is the low/drop waist effect which lengthens the torso and enhances your particular body type. To my eye , it's very elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated#post-2224684 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 14:29:09 +0000 nemosmom 2224684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Wow, you look amazing!&nbsp; And how stylish (and cute) is your mum?!?!?!&nbsp; I feel your lockdown pain.&nbsp; Hope things get better there soon!</div><div><br /></div><div>Speaking of teal - have you seen the teal corduroy Boden jacket??&nbsp; <br /></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/victoria-blazer-sailor/sty-u0003-blu">https://www.bodenusa.com/en-us.....#038;tc_ve</a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Seems more petrol than green in the photos, but I am hiding my credit card anyway....

Love the addition of the beads; I enjoy doubling a single strand too Your mum’s outfit is spot-on; wonderful colors supported with gorgeous accessories. The lipstick color and shoes tie it all together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated#post-2224654 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 12:48:26 +0000 Roxanna 2224654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly Brooklyn you inspire me to dress up to visit my parents instead of just schlepping there in lounge wear having endured a recent 8 month lock down in Toronto with no hair cuts, eyebrows grooming, and no retail open, I so feel your pain. I love that you are dressing up to keep your spirits up and I WANT those boots!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated#post-2224651 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 12:43:54 +0000 Jaime 2224651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and your mom look splendid! It's so nice that you both dress up for your meetings. You made up for lack of pattern with excellent texture mixing - necklace layers are fabulous also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated#post-2224650 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 12:40:58 +0000 lozz_oz 2224650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautifully coordinated as always Brooklyn. You did a good job on your mums hair - too bad I’m not in your LGA ,- pixie cuts don’t survive 12 week lockdowns </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated#post-2224649 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 12:38:11 +0000 lyn67 2224649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know Brooklyn, you speak so much about your DM that I really wanted to ask you to post a pictie. Am delighted my wish came true, and she is so adorable and stylish, like her DD of course!!! Beautiful color coordinated outfits on both of you...how I long to pamper a bit (for ex. to cut her hair) my late DM again...but my heart is so happy for you-LOVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-coordinated#post-2224637 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 11:25:06 +0000 Brooklyn 2224637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tanya! Me too on the boots. I have a stretchy black pair that I love. They are great because of the calf fit. But mine are leather. I am slightly concerned that my feet will get sweaty in a synthetic. But I will definitely consider because of the colour. So rare!</p> <p>And thanks Helena! </p>
