I try to have fun in dressing, and so I am delighted that you think it comes through. Our weather in spring is variable too. Tomorrow will be sunny and clear with a max of 21C before getting back to heavy rain later in the week. I just try to enjoy those last few days of layering up in coats before the warm weather sets in.</p> <p><b>Cindy </b>- I love your dipping dots colours. For me it is nice to lighten up my colour palette after so many years of relying on black to make a style statement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-ylf-forum-members#post-1952586 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 12:37:14 +0000 cindysmith 1952586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love with that coat, bag, and booties combo! It makes my heart sing like my dippin dots colors do, and you look beautiful in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-ylf-forum-members#post-1952572 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 12:08:04 +0000 Sal 1952572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great here Bijou - what a lovely tribute to forum friends. You always put fun into your outfits - but in a professional polished way.</p> <p>Spring here is fickle- but I love seeing the light , the growth in the garden, and opening up my house more to the fresh air. I got a mani pedi in corals to celebrate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-ylf-forum-members#post-1952569 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 11:56:14 +0000 Bijou 1952569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn,</b> so happy it is spring today and we had the perfect weather for it too - sunshine and clear blue skies. I am really loving your dark romance and looking forward to seeing your summer version, which I am sure will be very influential on us forum members.</p> <p><b>JenniNZ</b> - Well done on resisting temptation as I saw your post to Gryffin about the bronze boots and think those are a better choice. The pewter shoes were close but not a perfect 10. When it comes to shoes, you need 10's, as shoes make you happy. I find your use of footwear and variety of shoes that are also practical for your lifestyle to have influenced my choices, so thank you.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bonnie </b>- thank you for your lovely comment, it is much appreciated.</p> <p><b>Katerina</b> - thank you so very much. It is fun to have friends that you can learn from across the world. YLF is indeed a wonderful community.</p> <p><b>Fashintern</b> - so glad you like the dress, it is from my favourite shop Cue, who design and manufacture most of their clothes here in Australia. It is nice to think that I am helping support local talent and jobs as so much of Australian retail comes from China and I do have concerns about the conditions that the workers may be subject to.</p> <p><b>Style Fan</b> - yes bookending was new to me too. I had always thought light coloured footwear just seemed to work with most things on me, without understanding why. &nbsp;Angie is very generous to share these styling tips that have helped me improve my wardrobe. I find your use of complimentary colours and classic style, that has a very contemporary nod to Ali McGraw in the 70's, to be very influential to me. I love how you have had a suede jacket for many years and it still looks wonderful on you. Getting those few right 'forever' pieces is a goal that I would love to achieve.</p> <p><b>Rachy</b> - thank you, I have always loved the 60's mod look and with the colour palette, this does have a slight nod to that era.</p> <p><b>Jane</b> - it is fun how a simple accessory can improve things! Sweet peas are beautiful flowers, I loved your post of the spring flowers in the UK, I will have to post some Australian wildflower pictures, as they are quite unusual growing in harsh conditions.</p> <p><b>Jussi</b> - well I do love a bit of Razzle Dazzle!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-ylf-forum-members#post-1952552 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 08:55:34 +0000 jussie 1952552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! The brooch and boots just add that extra razzle dazzle and why not?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-ylf-forum-members#post-1952548 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 08:47:46 +0000 Jane 1952548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab dress and great with the broach. I like the mix of blues and lilacs and whites with it. Great spring colours, reminds me of sweet pea flowers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-ylf-forum-members#post-1952545 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 08:43:16 +0000 rachylou 1952545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute!

I want! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-ylf-forum-members#post-1952533 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 07:25:06 +0000 Katerina 1952533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so sweet Brooklyn, what a lovely tribute to YLF! Thank you for including me.</p> <p>Since I joined YLF, I have found so much inspiration, friendships and support from you, Angie and others - so big thank you to you. </p> <p>Your outfit is amazing. Beautiful pieces in beautiful colours and so right for you. The dress is gorgeous, I love how you combine the brown dress with spring colours and white boots - very fresh and beautiful. The brooch is perfect with the dress. The summary is - Stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-ylf-forum-members#post-1952519 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 03:57:36 +0000 Bonnie 1952519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucky you - looking forward to spring. I see Angie, ummlila, Tanya, Katerina, and Brooklyn in your outfit. What a wonderful tribute and you you look terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-ylf-forum-members#post-1952518 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 03:38:58 +0000 Jenni NZ 1952518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Spring from me too! I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up some meds today... my favourite shoe shop was having a special sale for first day of Spring and I had to resist very hard a nice pair of loafers with pewter on the toes... they slipped a bit on the heel though and I would rather have something bronze.So I resisted. I am so,so happy to see the back of winter and sorry for the North American and European Fabbers to see them start the opposite! But perhaps they are ready.&nbsp;<br />You look awesome in all these clothes and I echo your sentiment on how great it is to see other real women wearing things and giving us inspiration. Yay x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-ylf-forum-members#post-1952515 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 03:18:06 +0000 Brooklyn 1952515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Spring! And thanks for the shoutout. But Katerina is the original and best brooch inspiration :)</p> <p>I love the blue and lilac combination on you. You look ready for Spring. I am still thinking about lilac for myself. I love the way Ummlila wears it too. Lots of great inspiration here. Yourself included. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-by-ylf-forum-members#post-1952513 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 02:55:48 +0000 Bijou 1952513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This WIW is one that makes me happy because it combines some of my favourite items that remind me of different forum members:</p> <p>Lilac bag - Ummlila is the person that got me thinking about adding lilac to my wardrobe this year and I have loved it! Satchel style reminds me of Angie and her lovely collection of Furlas.</p> <p>Blue JCrew coat - was in one of Angie's ensembles and when Tania bought it as I admire her style, I thought it would be a great item to have. I adore the colour of this coat too.</p> <p>The bag and coat often get commented on, people love the colour of these items and I regularly get asked where I purchased them from. Wearing these together reminds me of Jussie with her Care Bear colour palette, such happy colours to wear.</p> <p>Dress - this is a good work dress. and The addition of the brooch - inspired by Katerina and Brooklyn - adds the right amount of glam to make me enjoy wearing it. At work I am mainly seen in the dress and boots (without bag and coat, so it is a conservative look).</p> <p>White boots - cannot help but think of Angie with these.</p> <p>So thanks to Angie and the YLF community, the boots, coat and bag would not have been bought without you and are proving to be real workhorses for me and a nice connection to my YLF friends.</p> <p>Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the first day of Fall / Autumn or for those like me in the Southern Hemisphere, Spring! </p>
