And thanks UF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971511 Sat, 03 Nov 2018 03:41:48 +0000 Brooklyn 1971511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I am glad we are all agreed it’s no 9 FTW.</p> <p>Thanks Angie. It’s 32c today so I am getting warm just looking at the pic of outfit 1!</p> <p>Smittie, I agree that blazer plus pencil skirt can skew corporate. Especially when combined with high heel pumps and a blouse. I am not required to dress with that degree of formality in my job so I like to casualise the look a bit with moto jacket, boots, knit top etc. Even the ivory jacket in no 3 has some distressing so it’s not that corporate. It makes my wardrobe items more versatile. I don’t like having a lot of items that are just for work. </p> <p>And thanks Celia, Bijou, suntiger, Laurie, Sara, Dana, Aquamarine, JAileen, Sisi and Toban. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971510 Sat, 03 Nov 2018 03:31:17 +0000 unfrumped 1971510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all!

How cool she has a Western collar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971374 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 16:58:56 +0000 Anonymous 1971374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all but especially the floral skirt outfit in #3!

(I think I've probably said that before.) I always look forward to seeing your outfits. I have a dress with a rose print similar to the one you have from ASOS. You've inspired me to try a pullover over it and turn it into a skirt. Also, you put every dog walking outfit I've ever worn to shame. Lastly, your girl is a real furry babe! So sweet!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971334 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 14:20:36 +0000 Sara L. 1971334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits are always so great!&nbsp; I love the top in #1 and I envy your boot collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971333 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 14:16:10 +0000 Angie 1971333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER all round,<b> Brooklyn</b>. You got those shoulder season looks in before the heat wave. Good job.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ms. B is a sweetie. And you are a very stylish dog walker.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm going with #1 as my fave. The guitar strap pattern mixes beautifully with the top, AND with the stylish Ms. B :)</p> <p>#7 is my next fave because it's wonderful to see you in blue, while the toffee picks up the colours in your hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971331 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 14:09:53 +0000 Aquamarine 1971331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once again I can’t pick a favorite!

I really like the bag with the studded strap that you wear cross body. I always love your jackets, too. I want them! And Ms B is a doll. But you knew that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971320 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 12:48:02 +0000 Anonymous 1971320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see how you use boots and moto style toppers. What I’ve noticed in my own experiments with skirts is that the moto style works really well and that blazers feel too corporate.<br /> Maybe favourite is 1-2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971291 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 10:23:44 +0000 Mirjana 1971291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, absolutely no 9, without competition, I agree with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971285 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 09:53:53 +0000 Sisi 1971285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Impossible to pick a favourite! You have a knack for creating unique fantastic outfits, Brooklyn. And I agree that you wear skirts and boots like nobody else. That happy face of Miss B is priceless!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971283 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 09:49:07 +0000 Toban 1971283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all!

No 9 is my fave :)</p> <p>Rachy: baroque + Wild West = inspired. I can’t wait to see it. Book me in for a front row seat.</p> <p>And thanks DL, Taylor and Shevia. Ms B is perfect indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971274 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 08:34:50 +0000 Mirjana 1971274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting and beautiful outfits like usual. I love all, you wear skirts and boots like no one else. I also like you in pants , but my favourites are #1, #3 and #6, great top in no 1, beautiful jacket and floral in no3 and fantastic pattern mix in no 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971269 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 07:49:57 +0000 rachylou 1971269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m still loving the baroque-ness of your Dark Romance. I need to do a Baroque Wild West thing. So inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971264 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 05:16:26 +0000 delurked 1971264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, obviously we know who the star of the show is. What a cutie. For your outfits, what I like best is the combination of details ( from the zipper on the crossbody to the lace ups on the boots) with the patterns, the colors and the impeccable fit. Love your boot collection, and am going with 3 as my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971254 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 04:17:52 +0000 taylor 1971254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous , every outfit is a beautiful use of color and textures that not only compliment you but each other as well.<br /> And then there is that scene stealing pooch !:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971250 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 04:06:28 +0000 Jaime 1971250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting and beautiful. That is the ultimate goal and you have succeeded. Even the dog walking outfit is just right. Ms B is furry perfection too. Love the cross body bags - they are my favorite and it is great to see them looking so good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971246 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 03:55:58 +0000 Brooklyn 1971246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lisa. I now have only 2 pairs of pants (not counting shorts or jeans). In the 90s I had a wardrobe full of pants and probably owned about 2 skirts. I don’t know what happened! I have a friend who refuses to wear pants, jeans or shorts of any kind. I think it must simplify her shopping a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971241 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 03:39:45 +0000 Brooklyn 1971241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Sally, no-one could be as stylish as the adorable and chic Ms B. She even has a bang-on-trend western style collar (little did DH know when he made it).</p> <p>Thanks for your lovely comments. We do need more rain. Especially when this hot spell is over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971240 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 03:38:10 +0000 Anonymous 1971240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Geez Brooklyn , this is an enviable collection of outfits , and truly unique and individual , which I love . You rock a skirt like no- one else Happy Spring to you ! ( from dreary - skied Manitoba where we are facing winter ....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971236 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 03:33:06 +0000 Sal 1971236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am pleased you have had some rain - it is so badly needed isn't it!!</p> <p>You are showing us a masterclass in pattern and texture mixing - it has become a signature look.</p> <p>Things I noticed<br />- glorious top in 1<br />- bag strap in 2<br />- I always admire the cream jacket in 3<br />- I love the boots in your dog walking outfit too - what a great look.&nbsp; You are as stylish as Ms B.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-spring#post-1971227 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 03:16:41 +0000 Brooklyn 1971227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all</p> <p>Until today (when the mercury hit 38c) we’ve been having a cooler than usual Spring. Most daytime maximum temperatures have been below 20c/68f. We’ve also had quite a bit of rain, which has helped to keep temperatures down. The rain is great news because my State is experiencing a severe drought. And I will never ever complain about an extension to the boot season. </p> <p>Although I’m not participating in the SYC challenge, all of these outfits are remixes of what’s already in my closet. So far I’ve only bought one new clothing item for Spring (a midi skirt). I’ll post that later.</p> <p>Pics 1-2: Dinner out on an unseasonably cold night. I did a return to dark romance. In this outfit I enjoyed the repeat of the gold button motif in the skirt, necklace and handbag strap.</p> <p>Pic 3 (work). Dark Floral + dark red.</p> <p>Pic 4 (work). I love this shaggy little cotton tweed jacket from Zara (from last year). Lots of pattern and texture.</p> <p>Pic 5 (casual). I’m working from home more often so I’m experimenting with casualising my pencil skirts. Here I combined one with an older, cropped, ladder effect cotton jumper for a casual outing. I liked the added texture and RATE touch it gave to the skirt.</p> <p>Pic 6 (work on a warmer day). Black and white floral/stripe pattern mix with some animal print (the tiger cuff). I wore tan and gold accessories to lighten and warm up the palette.</p> <p>Pic 7: Dark floral tee with tweed moto plus dark floral ring for running errands.</p> <p>Pics 8-9: Keeping it real with a dog walking outfit + scene stealing dog. I spared you all my Aussie hat. The boots are different from the boots in the skirt photos. They are a bit wider (to accommodate jeans) and a bit more rugged. And they have fancy, schmancy buckles running down the back.</p> <p>Your thoughts welcome </p>
