FFBO means fast fall back outfit. Neutral outfits are easier and faster for me to put together than colour outfits. </p> <p>Thanks Rachy, Val, Chiara and Gryffin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct/page/2#post-2342706 Sun, 29 Oct 2023 19:10:56 +0000 Carol 2342706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great project! I wish I had that intentionality. My winter wardrobe theme is: this shirt and these pants are clean. </p> <p>I love the all brown outfit—to me it looks like a late seventies runway. </p> <p>What does FFBO mean? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct/page/2#post-2342647 Sat, 28 Oct 2023 00:28:00 +0000 rachylou 2342647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired and inspiring!

Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct/page/2#post-2342386 Tue, 24 Oct 2023 04:44:38 +0000 Suz 2342386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hats are especially great in summer for sun protection. I envy your ability to wear them. I also have a big head and that is, indeed, a challenge, but for me it s mostly the short hair that creates a problem. It's just unbalanced looking a lot of the time. I wear them anyway for practicality and I don't think they look bad on me when my hair is longer-- but longer hair is not where I'm going right now, and with a pixie, they're harder to carry off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct/page/2#post-2342382 Tue, 24 Oct 2023 03:27:02 +0000 Brooklyn 2342382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz. You are a keen observer. Hats are always a challenge for me. I have a very big head! I’d love to have a range of hats in different colours. I think that it is easy to overlook the impact that hats have on an outdoor outfit, the same with bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct/page/2#post-2342336 Mon, 23 Oct 2023 14:35:46 +0000 Suz 2342336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing, as ever. Not only are the dusty desert hues beautiful on you, but the textural mix is sublime. I'm also really impressed with the way you have figured out how to carry this palette across the transitional temperatures of this period of the year -- from 18 to 37 is quite a shift, but the outfits for the whole period feel cohesive. Your choice of bags is always clever. Each one adds something to the outfit, whether that be structure, texture, or a bit of fun. Yet they are practical bags! Oh, and you look fantastic in that hat!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct/page/2#post-2342321 Mon, 23 Oct 2023 11:38:23 +0000 Brooklyn 2342321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sisi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct/page/2#post-2342318 Mon, 23 Oct 2023 10:07:46 +0000 Sisi 2342318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the capability of finding the most beautiful skirts and you wear the combination sleeveless top/long skirt like nobody else! My favourites are pic 2 and 3.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct/page/2#post-2342316 Mon, 23 Oct 2023 09:50:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2342316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jules. I’m a big fan of the 70s too.</p> <p>Thanks ST. Yes, we all have different neutrals. I think Angie regards red as a neutral! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct/page/2#post-2342308 Sun, 22 Oct 2023 20:25:21 +0000 Jules 2342308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your thought process and results as always! I’m a particular fan of #10 as I love those 70s proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct/page/2#post-2342293 Sun, 22 Oct 2023 10:28:20 +0000 Anonymous 2342293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that palette- and may have to steal it when spring comes round! And it's not neutral, but it's neutral to you if that makes sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342290 Sun, 22 Oct 2023 04:12:07 +0000 Brooklyn 2342290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>Angie, I am honoured to accept the title of Queen Beads. Beads are an unloved and underrated accessory. I will make it my mission to turn that around :)</p> <p>Jonesy, I do wear blazers with jeans but it’s usually a cool weather thing for me. Jeans season will be ending here very soon. </p> <p>RC, I tend to do better with more abstract inspiration. It’s the vibe, as we like to say in Australia. </p> <p>Jaime, “burnished” is one of my descriptors! (And it’s great to hear from you. Thinking of you x) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342286 Sun, 22 Oct 2023 01:50:15 +0000 Jaime 2342286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a treat! The colors and patterns are so evocative of the theme. Burnished gold comes to mind, although I am not sure if that is accurate. Anyway, a delightful and thoughtful set of outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342261 Sat, 21 Oct 2023 21:31:35 +0000 Jonesy 2342261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, all around! You are bringing your beautiful inspiration pics to life, for sure! I can't pick a favorite, but I especially love the texture-rich monochromatic look at the end, and I love the jeans + jacket (not sure I've ever seen you in denim + a blazer?), and the medallion print skirt outfit--such a beautiful skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342260 Sat, 21 Oct 2023 20:03:31 +0000 Carla 2342260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yummy! &nbsp;I like the way you get inspo from photos that&nbsp;<i>aren’t&nbsp;</i>fashion shots, but rather architecture or nature. &nbsp;That metallic bag has a nice patina, and is a beautiful accessory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342237 Sat, 21 Oct 2023 15:58:27 +0000 Angie 2342237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eta:</p> <p>#3, 14 and 23 are my best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342236 Sat, 21 Oct 2023 15:54:05 +0000 Angie 2342236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh! An African desert. I know it well. Very exciting! </p> <p>A brilliant dressing theme that is beautifully executed - of course!!! - and one that works soooo well for Australia. Authentic and natural. LOVE! </p> <p>I’m crowning you Queen Beads. </p> <p>KILLER GORGEOUS all round, Brooklyn! It is an especially incredible accomplishment to look this stylish in high heat. 37C! My hat off to you.</p> <p>Speaking of hats, they look super cute!</p> <p>My favourite outfits are the ones with the long skirts, and sleeveless tops. They look extra elegant and ethereal :)</p> <p>You look beautiful every day, in EVERY outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342227 Sat, 21 Oct 2023 13:26:57 +0000 cat2 2342227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As always, love your styling. It’s so interesting to see the process and result. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342223 Sat, 21 Oct 2023 11:24:23 +0000 Sal 2342223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits Brooklyn and I can see the theme coming through. I love seeing older and newer pieces mixed together to make such stylish outfits. It is indeed a wonderful talent you have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342221 Sat, 21 Oct 2023 10:34:08 +0000 Brooklyn 2342221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bijou. I knew about the YSL-Morocco connection but I knew nothing about Talitha Getty! Thanks for the introduction. Fascinating. And I’m very flattered by the comparison :)</p> <p>Thanks slim cat. I am pleased the tunic outfit is proving popular. I thought about leaving it out because I wasn’t that happy with the photos. I think tunics are more flattering in movement than in static photos. I enjoyed wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342219 Sat, 21 Oct 2023 09:04:45 +0000 Bijou 2342219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A styling masterclass, not just in concept, but also execution. I love how you have interpreted your theme into beautiful and practical outfits. I see echoes of YSL and Talitha Getty in Morocco, one of the most sublime times for high fashion where such an innovative designer was inspired by Morocco’s artisans. You shine in these warm colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342216 Sat, 21 Oct 2023 04:26:49 +0000 slim cat 2342216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all your outfits - such a gorgeous collection! The first look with skirt with black&amp;white and touch of brown is such an inspiration ( hope one day I can come up with my own version as well ).<br />The outfit #10/11 with tunic under the jacket is so cool - love the layering and cold/warm color combo.<br />The color/texture extravaganza is just WOW - YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342206 Sat, 21 Oct 2023 01:48:48 +0000 Brooklyn 2342206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for the enthusiasm and kind words. I am chuffed. </p> <p>Bella, it’s interesting that you see these outfits as neutral. It depends on how comfortable you are with bright colours and contrast, I suspect. I think of neutral as black, white, grey, some browns. Everything else is colour! Most of my (colour) outfits have lot of colours in them. It’s just that they are tonal and low contrast so the variation is not that obvious. I try not to match colours too closely but I love a graduation of colours (hence my obsession with ombre). </p> <p>Lyn67, yes, the cognac tunic top I’m wearing in no 10 is the Zara one shown in my finds. It has 3/4 sleeves, which can be an issue with a jacket, but I find if I roll them up to my elbow they hold firmly in place under a jacket. </p> <p>RobinF, I do plan to incorporate some dusty pink over Summer. I have worn a dusty pink tee with my brown tie dye skirt a couple of times, but I didn’t get a photo.</p> <p>SarahD8, I love a medallion pattern. I only recently figured out that it’s like a more Bohemian version of dots. It’s helped me to realise that any outfit formula that works with dots (eg pattern mixing with stripes) can also work with medallions. </p> <p>Pirouette, that sounds wonderful. I am<br /> really looking hard at these photos lately, and wondering what I can do with the inspiration. Love… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342192 Fri, 20 Oct 2023 19:28:34 +0000 Dottie 2342192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those color palettes and gravitate toward them myself. There are lots of tan/brown/caramel/yellow items in retail these days so it makes for lots of opportunity with outfits! &nbsp;Love your creativity! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342188 Fri, 20 Oct 2023 18:56:41 +0000 Dee 2342188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As always its a fab mix of textures, moody colours and patterns that work wonderfully to support your summer theme. Particularly drawn to outfit 10, love the proportions with your flares and that handbag </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342183 Fri, 20 Oct 2023 18:05:24 +0000 SarahD8 2342183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! This is even more wonderful than I thought it would be! You are doing great work here. You are really achieving dark and moody without outfits reading as "heavy" -- well done. Love that skirt in #2 and the idea of "my version of dots." I think my favorite is the same as yours, 22-24: subtle yet all the details are just perfectly in place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-1-septoct#post-2342173 Fri, 20 Oct 2023 17:15:37 +0000 pirouette 2342173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely colour palette my favourite are pictures are 22 23 and 24. I visited the great mosque of Cordoba last year and your inspiration pictures &nbsp;in 15 and 17 remind me very much of it. As always your outfits are amazing creative.&nbsp; </p>
