I love how your mother's vintage dress is a winner for your WFH <b>and</b> date-time outfits. Great bag and shirt, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Simple dresses like that are so versatile. I did not find my perfect version this year but I will be hunting again next year!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269590 Sat, 02 Jul 2022 19:21:39 +0000 Jules 2269590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a gorgeous shirt Style Fan - I have to admit I balked a bit at the total price, and then again when I realized it’s a bit too sheer for me to wear on its own without a cami, but when I put it on it’s just so ‘right’. It may be the most expensive summer essential I’ve ever bought as I don’t typically invest in that category for our climate but feels totally worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269582 Sat, 02 Jul 2022 17:06:27 +0000 Style Fan 2269582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfit, Jules!&nbsp; I have my eye on the same POMP shirt.&nbsp; I wondered about the thigh society shorts.&nbsp; I might give them a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269468 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 19:03:18 +0000 Sal 2269468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great story. Isn’t it fab when things come together like that?! </p> <p>Agree with Bijou - navy and tan is magic. My favourite way to wear navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269466 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 18:55:47 +0000 Cardiff girl 2269466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How lovely!l think that sometimes the best outfit ideas are spontaneous and have a story attached just like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269411 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 13:04:07 +0000 Helena 2269411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269406 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 11:47:48 +0000 Jules 2269406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I credit Angie and all of you with giving me to tools to come up with quick outfits ‘intuitively’. Bijou, you have a good point about the navy/white/natural leather, I’ll be considering that for future summer outfits and purchases.</p> <p>My mom came over later and saw me in the dress; she said she wore and laundered it constantly and we marvelled over the quality of the cotton and sturdy seams. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269369 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 02:44:09 +0000 rachylou 2269369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds lovely. I like the whole idea and the hang of the white shirt. Quite elegant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269357 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 01:52:34 +0000 Jaime 2269357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the story of how your outfit came together, love that it combines a bit of vintage, a bit of sustainable fashion, some birks and a great bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269355 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 01:22:10 +0000 Carla 2269355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This actually looks like a Pinterest worthy minimalist outfit. &nbsp;Quality pieces FTW!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269346 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 00:11:11 +0000 Bijou 2269346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love natural leather with navy and white, it always looks so fresh and classy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269321 Thu, 30 Jun 2022 21:55:41 +0000 Angie 2269321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, <b>Jules</b>! I love that your Mama's vintage dress fit and that you loved it! And hub's reaction was the best :)</p> <p>Sounds like a perfect outfit for a wonderfully spontaneous dinner date.

Yes, I have my eye out for more dresses for summer WFH. I have a couple of pairs of Thigh Society shorts that add to the comfort should I go out for a walk (this bopo company is owned by a neighbour; she recently added more fabric weights and colours and I prefer the lighter version to the original).<br /> <a href="https://thighsociety.ca/" rel="nofollow">https://thighsociety.ca/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269308 Thu, 30 Jun 2022 20:46:22 +0000 Jenn 2269308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect outfit, and I love how you switched it up from "WFH dress" to "out for lunch" attire.</p> <p>Simple dresses have become my go-to for WFH recently. They're just so easy on hot summer days. Barely takes a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269307 Thu, 30 Jun 2022 20:31:15 +0000 Jules 2269307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bag:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://braveleather.com/collections/womens-bags/products/sarrow-pebbled?variant=41278666899647">https://braveleather.com/colle.....8666899647</a><br />Shirt:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://powerofmypeople.com/collections/new-releases/products/the-friend-womens-wayward-fit">https://powerofmypeople.com/co.....ayward-fit</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curated-canadian-casual-meets-random-luck#post-2269306 Thu, 30 Jun 2022 20:27:22 +0000 Jules 2269306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I would showcase how some of my thoughtfully purchased, Canadian-made ethical shopping came together today with a random "vintage" piece to form a last minute quick outfit. Sorry no pictures though...</p> <p>My mother has been doing some extended form of Swedish Death Cleaning for years and keeps showing up with random things she has stored since the 90s. She's had a lot of hits recently with old clothes that match current trends for my kids. But they had no interest in this simple sleeveless navy cotton twill dress (stiffer and higher necked than this one; quite plain, has pockets, faded in the nicest way of good quality cotton). By some miracle, it fits me perfectly (not usually the case as we have very different body types) and I was looking for a "house dress" for working from home... and now it's my second or third day in a row of wearing it.</p> <p>My husband texted me spontaneously to meet him for lunch, so I took off my cozy Wear Franc sweatshirt and threw on this off-white Power of My People shirt and tied it at my waist. I grabbed my new bag from Brave Leather, and my cream Birks from last year. I felt instantly put together and my husband said... "You Look Fab!". </p>
