It’s a fairly heavy top. (I wouldn’t wear it in Summer.) I store it in a handbag dust bag to protect it and make sure it doesn’t catch on other things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge/page/2#post-2327248 Tue, 20 Jun 2023 19:37:58 +0000 Sal 2327248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed this too while I was away. Stunning and very you - it looks luxe!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge/page/2#post-2327236 Tue, 20 Jun 2023 16:43:17 +0000 Mirjana 2327236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just so fantastic. You styled the mesh top in a sophisticated way. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge/page/2#post-2327234 Tue, 20 Jun 2023 16:06:36 +0000 Lana 2327234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love it! Agree with what was already said about you dressing beyond the fashion trends — that is the definition of edgy to me. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge/page/2#post-2327233 Tue, 20 Jun 2023 14:46:56 +0000 Jessikams 2327233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie’s post on mermaid core made me remember this shiny outfit. How’s the mesh holding up, now that you’ve had more chances to wear it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge/page/2#post-2324737 Wed, 31 May 2023 05:21:59 +0000 Brooklyn 2324737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks AJ. But be warned: it’s impossible to resist the urge to do the occasional shimmy in this top.</p> <p>Thanks UF. I like medieval warrior! I think it’s the resemblance to chain mail that attracted me to this kind of top in the first place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge/page/2#post-2324732 Wed, 31 May 2023 05:02:05 +0000 AJ 2324732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love how you have taken the mesh top and styled it in a sophisticated way! Definitely has changed my view of them as only club wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge/page/2#post-2324727 Wed, 31 May 2023 03:45:37 +0000 unfrumped 2324727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just so fantastic.<br /> I think of modern- medieval warrior Princess chain mail — but in a good way. Because it looks so light and effortless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge/page/2#post-2324717 Wed, 31 May 2023 02:21:15 +0000 Brooklyn 2324717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lyn. Yes, I’ve seen them at H&amp;M and Zara. They are also popping up at some Australian retailers here. The black versions are just so naturally edgy (which I like) but not as versatile for me. I like gold!</p> <p>Thanks BlueJay. Texture and metallics are my dual obsessions for Autumn/Winter. And I miss that about B&amp;M shopping too. </p> <p>And thanks Kyle and Jenni! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge/page/2#post-2324664 Tue, 30 May 2023 19:30:09 +0000 lyn67 2324664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen some tops like this one online (perhaps H&amp;M?) and yes, the were mainly black&amp;silver--which can look too formal and couldn't really imagine to dress them down in a so very creative and edgy way you did your's in that much&nbsp; more doable for us blondes, tan/gold. Wow, this is the epitome of&nbsp; my idea of&nbsp; glamorous casual -I just love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge/page/2#post-2324662 Tue, 30 May 2023 18:51:06 +0000 BlueJay 2324662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So creative and fun, Brooklyn. I love fall fashion for all the textures! There are so many amazing textures in your outfit! (One of the things I miss with online shopping is being able to touch everything!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge/page/2#post-2324660 Tue, 30 May 2023 18:22:41 +0000 Kyle 2324660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even though you post a range of different looks, there’s always something about them that feels very you. And you are able to do it without fail. Creative cohesion at its best. Your closet and vision are enviable, and this mesh top is a wonderful addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge/page/2#post-2324613 Tue, 30 May 2023 05:10:56 +0000 Jenni NZ 2324613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So creative! I love a touch of daytime glitz. It looks awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324610 Tue, 30 May 2023 04:45:51 +0000 Brooklyn 2324610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks KG!</p> <p>Angie, yes it will go. But my VB jacket is linen so I don’t wear it in winter. I do have other items in tan, sand and almond type shades. I will look into it. Also just found a pair in taupe, which might work too. </p> <p>And I second Suntiger! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324587 Mon, 29 May 2023 22:08:20 +0000 kellygirl 2324587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning and just so you! Love this kind of layering. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324573 Mon, 29 May 2023 17:25:44 +0000 Anonymous 2324573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mermaidcore post please, Angie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324566 Mon, 29 May 2023 14:45:16 +0000 Angie 2324566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, I'm excited about the tan boots! Will they work with your VB blazer, do you think ? You have patterns with tan in them so there's a good match too. AND bronze and tan sound yummy ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>The new Little Mermaid movie came out yesterday. The fringe Siren trend is in full swing!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324558 Mon, 29 May 2023 11:40:13 +0000 Brooklyn 2324558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, a cross post!</p> <p>Thanks Olive Green. And thanks again for “louche”! I’ve got my husband saying it now every time he sees me wearing my baggy jeans: “mmm, louche”.</p> <p>Suntiger thanks. What? You don’t have a neutral tie dye skirt? Clearly a wardrobe hole.</p> <p>Kim M, that necklace is my absolute favourite. It’s made using a 19th century button. The button is made from abalone shell. So Angie was right to see it as aquatic. Thanks for your comments.</p> <p>Dee, Irina and Star, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324555 Mon, 29 May 2023 11:29:30 +0000 Brooklyn 2324555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you! “Mermaid trend” makes sense. I tried a teal top underneath it and I was thinking it had an aquatic look. I think my Zara lace skirt must be part of the the same trend. </p> <p>I do like the styling of the tie dye skirt with the ivory boots and dark laces, but I tend to find white, ivory or cream shoes tricky. I have an urge to repeat the light colour in my outfit and then things start to skew too fresh or contrast-y. But I am considering this tan pair for Winter. I think the colour would bookend my hair. But I’m not sure because I’m planning to go copper for winter next week. And not sure how versatile it would be. I will think on it. </p> <p>I am happy that winter is here! I’ve got lots of wardrobe plans to execute </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324551 Mon, 29 May 2023 11:19:26 +0000 Anonymous 2324551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love how you've been using these sheer layers to add interest! I may *need* a neutral tie dye skirt too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324550 Mon, 29 May 2023 11:18:50 +0000 Olive Green 2324550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So tough and so pretty! The texture and colours in photo number 6 look like an art collage.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324548 Mon, 29 May 2023 11:06:31 +0000 Brooklyn 2324548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awe, thanks Jaime and Style Fan.</p> <p>Bijou, thank you. We are on the same page! Much as I loved dressing for work I think my style and wardrobe is in a better place now. I don’t have separate work and casual capsules and, like you, I’ve broken out of uniform dressing. It was hard at first because I was so reliant on work for my fashion kicks. It was so easy then. I can’t remember how often I bought something thinking “this will be good for work”. Out of office style is so much harder. But more satisfying when you get it right. </p> <p>Kkards, Cardiff Girl and Bonnie, thanks! I did actually stop into a chemist before lunch. I noticed the SA eyeing off my top…</p> <p>Thanks Slimcat </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324545 Mon, 29 May 2023 04:44:16 +0000 Jaime 2324545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off you look gorgeous and agree completely that your look is original and coherent and completely and fabulously you! Love the use of the mesh top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324543 Mon, 29 May 2023 04:23:41 +0000 Bijou 2324543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, you are leading the way in DYOT dressing and embracing your signature style. At first, I found leaving an office environment disappointing, because it is inherently dressy and I love wearing structured clothing. However, the work-imposed constraints with frayed edges, denim, sequins, faux fur and sparkle being outside permitted work wear it was not dressing utopia. I was used to what became my uniform and it was safe to play within those parameters. Your posts have helped me see the potential to have more fun with fashion now, thank you!</p> <p>There is so much to take inspiration from this day-time sparkle look. I love how you (and other Forum members) use fashion to express your creativity.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324540 Mon, 29 May 2023 03:17:16 +0000 Style Fan 2324540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with what others have said. Your style is unique and creative. I love the mesh top. Looks so good with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324538 Mon, 29 May 2023 02:19:58 +0000 Brooklyn 2324538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jessi, I’m a bit worried about that too. The top does seem quite robust, but I’m storing it in a handbag dust bag just in case. It’s wearable jewellery! So far so good.</p> <p>Thanks Janet and FC!</p> <p>Nikki, thanks. I’m happy to have friends on team tie dye! It is harder to find in winter, but I think that makes it more interesting and unexpected :)</p> <p>Suz, Helena, LJP, thanks for the kind words. I am much happier to DYOT since leaving office work. It’s been very freeing for me. I can’t see myself wearing a mesh studded top to the office I used to work in. But sometimes I miss having opportunities to just be dressy and not have to deal with the “how to casualise this look” challenge. </p> <p>I’ll be back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324532 Sun, 28 May 2023 23:35:16 +0000 Jessikams 2324532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve seen those glittery mesh items at shops recently and was very drawn to the texture. But I feared the crystals would easily fall off. Keep us posted on whether it proves to be long wearing or not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324530 Sun, 28 May 2023 23:18:03 +0000 Janet 2324530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324529 Sun, 28 May 2023 22:49:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2324529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cool look. That top is amazing, and you've made it look like it was meant to be yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glimmer-grunge#post-2324527 Sun, 28 May 2023 21:16:46 +0000 Anonymous 2324527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome post title! Adore the wool tie dye skirt and tapestry jacket. They are wonderful support acts to your new mesh top. I like the idea of having a tie dye item for cold weather. I am sporting all my tie dyes lately and am intrigued with having a warm version </p>
