I noted they put her in a conventional skirt suit which didn’t suit her as well when she went to spend the day with dad at the office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114510 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 22:16:31 +0000 Cee 2114510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you wore it better, Brooklyn and I can't see you being a ruthless, conniving person like Shiv who looks like she'd intentionally drop a silent but deadly fart at a Christening and then blame it on hubby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114505 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 21:48:02 +0000 Sal 2114505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn must be loving having you both home:)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114473 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 18:48:59 +0000 Angie 2114473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"dead bug pose"</p> <p>HAHAHAH </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114454 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 17:40:39 +0000 April 2114454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiv is the best!&nbsp; Nice job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114410 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 14:26:53 +0000 lyn67 2114410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG your pup is to die for! Loved Shiv's role and her outfits in Succession- and&nbsp; you emulated them quite well- your hair is almost there, too! YLF&nbsp; Brooklyn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114384 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 11:58:49 +0000 Aurore 2114384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great outfits! I especially enjoy #2, with the perpendicular pin stripes.&nbsp;<br />And those are great raviolis - and a nice heath! Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114362 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 08:23:11 +0000 Cee 2114362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must check it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114348 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 04:11:03 +0000 Brooklyn 2114348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia. We usually eat on our laps (I’m sure we’re not the only ones!) so it did feel quite civilised. We even turned off the TV </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114347 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 04:07:17 +0000 Brooklyn 2114347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>Cee, she’s sharp and quite capable of stabbing someone in the back. It fits!</p> <p>Sally, in one episode Shiv is on a boat (well, luxury cruiser actually) and she wears pale wide leg pants and a sleeveless boat neck top. That outfit made me think of you.</p> <p>Angie and Bijou, we didn’t have the heater on for long. Ms B feels the heat (like her mama) and is known to adopt a dead bug pose if it starts to get too warm. See pic :)</p> <p>Suz, the shoe thing is a real issue for me. I don’t do video conferencing and I do rehab exercises during the day, so there’s no reason to dress up at home. But I thought if I reserve some nicer shoes for indoors I might at least dress for dinner on occasion. Which would help to lift my mood. Worth a try!</p> <p>RC, ST and Taylor, hubs has been keeping busy. There was actually a run on the hardware stores here when there were rumours that they would be shut down. DH is relieved that they haven’t been yet. </p> <p>TG, if it weren’t for the time differences, we could have a YLF hosted zoom dinner party! That would be so much fun.</p> <p>PP, I thought about posing with a glass of wine but I thought that would be giving away too much of my lockdown lifestyle.</p> <p>And thanks NM and KG! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114345 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 03:58:28 +0000 Jaime 2114345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't seen the show, but like the sound of the character. You look absolutely stunning in that blue. Fabulous trousers are always winners. Ravioli looks so beautiful and civilized somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114306 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 00:19:45 +0000 Cee 2114306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, but why was she named after a prison-made knife ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114279 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 23:12:46 +0000 taylor 2114279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!&nbsp;<div>The gas fireplace is gorgeous and dinner looks yummy ! &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114270 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 22:47:10 +0000 Anonymous 2114270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look great and love the fireplace- wow!<br /> *carries off ravioli* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114242 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 20:07:24 +0000 Sal 2114242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will have to find a way to watch this show (there are so many platforms now it is very confusing!!)&nbsp;</p> <p>I love your versions Brooklyn - very elegant and powerful and comfortable.</p> <p>Your hearth and dinner look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114229 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 18:34:31 +0000 Angie 2114229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't seen Secession either, but I vote KILLER Shiv :)</p> <p>You do know that Ms. B steals the show in #7.....</p> <p>I LOVE outfit #2. Fun pattern mix, and white soled sneaks! Looking very 2020.</p> <p>Hubs is very handy. Beautiful job! Supper looks very yummy too! xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114226 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 18:23:30 +0000 Suz 2114226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yummy supper and what great outfits! I love your take on Shiv in #1. And #3 magically combines comfort and pinstripes -- wow! Waving at your cute companion!&nbsp;</p> <p>I really hear you about the footwear. I need to give that some serious thought. I think it affects me in a similar way. Hmmm. I just ordered some new sandals. Maybe those will be my "inside shoes" to allow me to feel more "dressed" even while at home.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114215 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 16:11:48 +0000 Carla 2114215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What’s not to love? &nbsp;Fab fashion, delicious dinner, precious pooch, and a handy partner! &nbsp;You’ve got it all going for you,&nbsp;</p> <p>BTW, I can totally see Sal channeling Shiv. &nbsp;Good call on your part! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114196 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 15:10:12 +0000 kellygirl 2114196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO glam! Love these looks on you. I've not seen the show but based on the reference pics, you have hit the nail on the head.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114174 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 13:36:54 +0000 Helena 2114174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfits but they've been eclipsed by you pasta I'm afraid ... Ravioli is my all time favourite!! </p> <p>YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114173 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 13:35:57 +0000 nemosmom 2114173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nailed it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114170 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 13:16:17 +0000 Preppy Pear 2114170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Champagne and pleated trousers are the new booze and hot pants, amirite?</p> <p>Love those pants, Brooklyn! Nicely done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114169 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 13:13:23 +0000 Bijou 2114169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So lovely, you look like an heiress, glam without trying too hard. It is hard to dress up without the right shoes. When barefoot I have been wearing more boho style dresses. Love the photo of Brooklyn by the fire, she has picked a very good spot for her bed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-shiv-challenge#post-2114168 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 13:07:13 +0000 Brooklyn 2114168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suggested to Sal that as part of her challenge she should do Shiv from Succession. But it turns out Sally hasn’t seen Succession. So I decided I’d have to do Shiv myself.</p> <p>For those who haven’t seen the show, Shiv is the only daughter of a media magnate. She is smart, fiercely ambitious and unconventional. And she is played by Sarah Snook, an Australian. Australians excel in these types of roles :)</p> <p>In the first season her style is fairly casual. Autumnal colours and Ralph Lauren-ish knitwear. In the second season, her style becomes more serious and sleek. Katherine Hepburn-esque. Plaid or pinstripe pants suits in neutral colours. Turtleneck tops with high waisted loose pants. And a very sleek bob.</p> <p>Outfit 1: this is based on her turtleneck top and pants formula. Shiv would wear a daintier necklace but I don’t do dainty. Plus I prefer the top untucked. I will wear this combination when it’s cold enough.</p> <p>Outfit 2: this is the outfit I ended up wearing for dinner@home. A casual version of Shiv’s head to toe pinstripes. I know it doesn’t look like much but this is the most dressy I’ve been for weeks! I gave the black sneakers a good clean and am now reserving them for at home wear during the lockdown (got the idea from Angie). The theory is I’m more likely to wear proper “outside” clothes (like my pinstripe pants) at home if I also wear “outside” shoes. Usually my household is shoe free - meaning I go bare foot or wear thongs or slippers. Which kind of sets the tone of my outfit at uber casual. I think I need to lift my game or I won’t be inheriting a media empire anytime soon. </p> <p>Extra pics: </p> <p>5: As I was dressed up (by recent standards) we ate at the (kitchen) table. We had ravioli with a rustic pumpkin and mushroom pesto sauce. </p> <p>6-7: My husband built this hearth for our gas fire. Keeping himself busy in lockdown. It came out really well! We put it on for some comfort even though it’s not that cold yet.</p> <p>Stay well and strong everyone! </p>
