Excellent decisions. Love the new pants and think they look great as is. Like the others, I'm also completely wowed by the fab dress. And I love the outfit with the jacket. Nodding with Brooklyn that it will look great with the new pants.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope the weather improves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2311202 Thu, 02 Mar 2023 01:43:55 +0000 Sal 2311202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suntiger - it is lovely again now but so much heartbreak in the east.</p> <p>Thanks Tanya - it was one of those dresses that I just "knew" had to be mine... a true wildcard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2311192 Thu, 02 Mar 2023 00:58:32 +0000 Tanya 2311192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry for the difficult month, but you have looked wonderful through it.&nbsp; &nbsp;That '70s dress is a knockout. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2311164 Wed, 01 Mar 2023 23:58:15 +0000 Anonymous 2311164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes to the cyclone! Glad all is ok with you!<br /> Love the new dress and first 2 outfits especially! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2311153 Wed, 01 Mar 2023 22:12:36 +0000 Sal 2311153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenni - we rarely share things but occasionally it is useful!!&nbsp; She is more IT shaped and I am more pear/hourglass so we often suit different things - and have quite different styles.</p> <p>Thanks Janet and Anchie - it was VERY plunging off the rack but I had it made less so!!&nbsp; It will be good for winter meals out (I can see it with my tall brown suede boots and rose coat, and a darker bag).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2311101 Wed, 01 Mar 2023 13:07:31 +0000 anchie 2311101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All your outfits look great, but dress is just stunning, Hope you will wear it often, not just for special occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2311097 Wed, 01 Mar 2023 12:59:20 +0000 Janet 2311097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t even see past how great that 70s-esque dress is on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2311079 Wed, 01 Mar 2023 08:01:00 +0000 Jenni NZ 2311079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You looked totally fab in your party outfit, your sister’s wedges were great. How nice to have the same size feet. I can share with DD1 but it has usually been her borrowing my shoes rather than the other way around :)<br /> And I really like the new gifted Kathmandu T-shirt- it looks similar to Icebreaker. I am wearing a gifted T right now from a year ago which is surprisingly on wear 22. It fitted into my wardrobe pretty well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2311033 Wed, 01 Mar 2023 02:28:47 +0000 Sal 2311033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy - I enjoyed doing that even though I only did it twice.</p> <p>I did intend to find outfits for two gifts - these two tees that I like but possibly would not have chosen for myself.&nbsp; I have come to the conclusion there is a place for casual tees for me - early morning walks with friends, lounging at home and these tees will do just fine for these days!!&nbsp; I don't need to style them - just wear them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2311023 Wed, 01 Mar 2023 01:09:00 +0000 Anonymous 2311023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Anchie , for this challenge. &nbsp;I need to mix ore old and newer pieces. &nbsp;That will be my challenge for March, which will be winter here. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2310996 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 21:08:56 +0000 Sal 2310996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Irina - the new sneakers/trainers are mostly for the gym or walking (I had one pair I was wearing 5-6 days a week and decided two pairs would be better for my feet and "hopefully" make them last longer as they can air out between wears!&nbsp; I have a few things in my life where I sort of wear gear for extended periods (helping out at athletic track meets as an official or taking food around etc)</p> <p>They have had about 14 wears in 30 days or so - I think they were needed:)&nbsp; I need to give myself permission for gear and a bit less permission for dresses..... (but I am pleased to have this one) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2310995 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 20:59:47 +0000 Irina 2310995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, Sal. That dress is so fab on you!<br />Like the sneakers (trainers?), too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2310988 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 19:52:50 +0000 Sal 2310988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn - I think the cream jacket would work with these new pants.&nbsp; I think shorter jackets will be more prevalent again (as per Angie's blog post) as they work well with volume on the bottom.</p> <p>And yes the East Coast of Australia suffered last year I remember.&nbsp; The Waikato has been fine - but there has been significant damage to other regions and roads in and out of our region to the coasts.&nbsp; Our new PM has a lot on his plate!</p> <p>Thanks Angie - I love the new dress too.....It's nice to have a party dress with sleeves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2310935 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 17:15:59 +0000 Angie 2310935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking fably and appropriately Summery, <b>Sal</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>The new dress is KILLER to the Power of KILLER! Love the new pants too! Their length, and the length of the top work well. KILLER and LOVE :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2310848 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 09:41:10 +0000 Brooklyn 2310848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! The new pants and dress are fab. (Length of pants looks good to me.)</p> <p>Could you wear the cream jacket with the last outfit (the new pants)?</p> <p>If it’s any consolation, we had a similar Summer last year. It rained pretty much continuously from January to May. Terrible floods. But this Summer has been delightfully “normal”. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2310804 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 03:01:21 +0000 Sal 2310804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jaime - I like the jacket too, it has been 18 months or so since I have worn it - and I wonder why when I put it on?</p> <p>I am someone who is better in shorter shorts rather than longer shorts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2310801 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 02:59:07 +0000 Jaime 2310801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks Sal even in a very tough month. I really like the cream short jacket, the dress is stunning and wow, you rock the short shorts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2310800 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 02:59:00 +0000 Sal 2310800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are the finds for the new additions in 2023.</p> <p>One piece of Gear, three replacement essentials, and two statement pieces!&nbsp; The bag was second hand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-wiw-incl-anchie-challenge#post-2310797 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 02:54:58 +0000 Sal 2310797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>February was not the best month in NZ - to put it mildly!&nbsp; A shocking cyclone and ongoing rain in what is normally the hottest dryest month of the year.&nbsp; In between times there were some nice social gatherings with friends and family though.</p> <p><b>Ins</b></p> <p>Two pairs of pants,<br /> - relaxed flat front black pair with white side stripes by Tuesday Label.&nbsp; They will replace my On the Fly Pants (which I will downgrade to the most casual of occasions).&nbsp;<br /> - wide leg, flat front pair are a familiar style to me - I can see myself calling for these a lot.</p> <p>This means I am up to six new additions so far for the year which is probably a couple more than I intended.....</p> <p><b>Outs</b><br /> These cropped harems got a hole in the seat - I may patch them for gardening purposes - I may cut them up for rags for work.</p> <p><b>WIW</b></p> <p><b>Anchie's Challenge (third and sixth photos)</b></p> <p>I was trying to wear some neglected pieces in my closet.&nbsp; The pink blouse, brown spot cami and cream light jacket.&nbsp; I still like these pieces - and think they are still current enough.&nbsp; Maybe not workhorses but worth keeping for sure.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The pink top is worn with the new wide legs - <b><i>what do we think of the length?</i></b></p> <p><b>The 70s dress (sixth)</b></p> <p>I did wear the new 70s dress with the pewter clutch - but ended up borrowing my sisters wedge sandals which felt just perfect with the dress.&nbsp; And showed off my peach pedicure.</p> <p><b>Other (first, second and fourth)</b></p> <p>Out to dinner x 2 with friends and weekend errands.</p> <p>Thanks for looking!! </p>
