Thanks! Angie, yes I wear that colour combination. Probably more so in Spring. I love the Allsaints top too. I saw that here and was tempted. Allsaints do great patterns. Good neckline for us too. I am sure it will look fab on you Cee on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1/page/2#post-2333924 Tue, 08 Aug 2023 16:54:00 +0000 Cee 2333924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This: Angie on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1/page/2#post-2333898 Tue, 08 Aug 2023 13:32:47 +0000 Angie 2333898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ By the way, I got a patterned mesh top go with my new brown suit. You might like it :)  Angie on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1/page/2#post-2333897 Tue, 08 Aug 2023 13:25:36 +0000 Angie 2333897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Got it! Nice colour combo to keep on your radar for your style :)  Brooklyn on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1/page/2#post-2333852 Tue, 08 Aug 2023 02:02:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2333852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh pretty! Thanks Angie! I will take a look at it. I think I will probably resist because mesh tops are strictly winter items for me and I’ve moved on to planning for Spring/Summer now.

This might have to be yours Brooklyn on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1/page/2#post-2333537 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 02:31:19 +0000 Brooklyn 2333537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Mary Beth. That’s very kind Yes, I still think I have a baroque/old world influence in my style. I think that tends to manifest itself mostly in my accessories and some patterns. Also in my love of metallics and bit of complexity. I am definitely not a minimalist! I still have a dark romantic influence too, especially in winter. I am aiming for a moody, glimmering and somewhat edgy look. For Spring/Summer, I plan to lighten my palette. I’m starting to think about a desert theme but it’s still early!

Give it a go! I think because cargo pants are quite busy (what with all the pockets and all), a short jacket can look cleaner than a longer jacket. Brooklyn on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1/page/2#post-2333306 Wed, 02 Aug 2023 22:55:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2333306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie, you are right. It’s a relative thing. Even my flares (which are fitted around the hips and thighs) feel tight now. They are stretchy, but still! Looseness is addictive. Thanks Lyn. I do love taking inspiration from nature and the outdoors. When I go for a walk with my husband I’m always stopping to take a photo to file away for colour inspiration. Suz on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333305 Wed, 02 Aug 2023 22:54:18 +0000 Suz 2333305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I LOVE it ALL!!!  The shrunken jacket outfits with the cargos are giving me ideas. I wonder if I can mix my shrunken red jacket with my burgundy cargoes for some tonal fun? Will try it. When the season changes.  Angie on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333283 Wed, 02 Aug 2023 18:06:42 +0000 Angie 2333283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Brooklyn, your Mama regularly trying on that SUBLIME floral coat warms my heart :)  YES! Milk the roomy jeans and pants trend while it lasts.  I wore these jeans last week because I love their Summery Hawaiien vibe. Although they are not tight or skinny - they feel it! It's relative so I get it. They are the narrowest pants I own at this point.  lyn67 on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333277 Wed, 02 Aug 2023 17:48:02 +0000 lyn67 2333277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, wow, wow! I love you always pick something very curent (like parachute and cargo pants, baobao bag and mesh metallic overtop) and mix with your older pieces-so  You somehow manage to give a mouth of fresh air to  your otherwise  very  individual  recognisable through time  personal style each season. Love your paring of copper and green, for resembling patina-what works in nature is always a great inspo for me, too! Gorgeous outfits, all-with great attention to fits and details, love you dig out that fab jacket but didn't save your effort to change old  buttons to new matching your  new   sartorial prefferences!  Brooklyn on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333203 Wed, 02 Aug 2023 01:19:52 +0000 Brooklyn 2333203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LJP, no offence taken! Thanks for the clarification and the kind words. LJP on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333201 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 23:19:39 +0000 LJP 2333201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh dear - i clearly didn’t write very well and I’m sorry for not being clear . I *am* interested in the thought process and didn’t mean to suggest I wasn’t . I was apologizing for not being able to address each look in any kind of order . And I do understand conventional flattery may not be a priority - your looks *do* tell a story and are carefully executed - far more so than I can manage myself - and I’m in awe of your talent in this area . My eye is trained to see conventional flattery from a tailoring and construction point of view which I also realize isn’t terribly modern now . Again I’m sorry for any misunderstanding . Brooklyn on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333200 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 23:03:26 +0000 Brooklyn 2333200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Carol, thanks. I live in Sydney, Australia. Thanks ST. Did I know that you were also on team short jacket? Another commonality :) Thanks Irina and Janet. LJP, thanks. Body flattery it’s a factor in my style choices but I aim for more than that. My interest is in the art of outfit creation and creating a style theme. It’s hard to demonstrate that without multiple photos. I include a brief description of my thinking about each outfit for those who are interested. I know that many people will just look at the photos, which is fine too. (Of course, it’s nice when people comment to show appreciation, whether or not they want to join in on the analysis.) On being current, I think looking current is more about how you mix old and new, rather than the individual items concerned. But views will differ on that, as they do on everything about fashion. Thanks Helena. Chris987, thank you. That made my day! I do buy from some international retailers (ASOS, YOOX, Zara, the Outnet) but rarely US retailers. The postage is too expensive. I hope you find what you are looking for. If it’s metallics, there were a lot more available here this winter than last winter. Definitely trending, yay! Thanks Star. Yes, I think I will actually wear the jacket more this way! RobinF, thanks. You are right. It’s another application of my fitted over volume formula, which I also enjoy in skirts. Carol on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333191 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 21:07:48 +0000 Carol 2333191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Brooklyn--where do you live? These outfits look more up-to-date than what I'm used to here in the middle of the United States. I enjoy the focused palette and silhouette of this collection.  Anonymous on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333188 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 20:54:54 +0000 Anonymous 2333188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Especially love the burgundy with brown! And team short jacket ftw! Irina on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333187 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 20:34:59 +0000 Irina 2333187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ All outfits are beautiful but that coat in #15 is to die for! Thanks for posting, always a treat to see your outfits.  Janet on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333177 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 18:24:26 +0000 Janet 2333177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fabulous! You have a signature style absolutely nailed. It transcends trend and seems perfectly organic to you. LJP on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333176 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 17:53:20 +0000 LJP 2333176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My brain ( especially viewing this on my phone ) doesn’t allow me to match descriptions with large numbers of photos ….but I did look at them all ! That floral coat stood out to me - not sure I’ve seen it on you before ? Your style is very cohesive and consistent - I’m always in admiration of your wardrobe which allows you to dress to flatter your body type , regardless of how current the items might be . A true skill you have Helena on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333173 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 17:42:49 +0000 Helena 2333173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Absolutely gorgeous! Chris987 on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333142 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 13:37:53 +0000 Chris987 2333142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Swooning, fainting, DYING over here !! I LOVE all these colors, silhouettes, styles, etc etc  and am planning to go in this direction this fall.  Sad that I won't be able to do any exact copycats because most of your items are custom finds and likely Aussie retailers. I can  hope to learn from your styling.  This one post by you is so fab and  worth a zillion blogger/instagrammer/influencer posts anywhere else!   Star (Lise) on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333141 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 13:34:57 +0000 Star (Lise) 2333141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love Ye Old Camel Jacket, especially with the dark wash jeans and camel turtleneck, ie. outfit 1.  Do not get rid of this jacket - it is a classic (but does not read classic - you definitely got the casualizing of it right, I can barely imagine it as a fitted work type suit jacket) and suits you to a T.  All the other outfits are superb too, as always.   RobinF on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333133 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 13:08:28 +0000 RobinF 2333133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow! So many gorgeous outfits. I love the metallics, they suit you so well. And the short jacket over baggy bottoms is perfect. Sort of like your skirts but with some variety. Brooklyn on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333110 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 06:07:58 +0000 Brooklyn 2333110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Pirouette, thank you! That would be a dream job. I sometimes fantasise about having my own clothing store and that is exactly what I imagine myself doing - designing the window display for different seasons and themes. But then I think about dealing with discontented customers and reality starts to creep in pirouette on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333109 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 06:01:00 +0000 pirouette 2333109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow all the outfits are so gorgeous it’s hard to pick a favourite but the coat is stunning. You have such an amazing wardrobe and you can combine pieces so artfully it’s a real talent. I don’t know what you work at but I could imagine you designing window displays for very upmarket fashion stores Brooklyn on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333108 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 05:08:49 +0000 Brooklyn 2333108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Bijou. A monthly post does inspire me to try new combinations. Otherwise I can lapse into wearing the same favourites all the time, at least when it comes to everyday wear. Thanks Sal. Ye olde blazer is well rested and enjoying spending time out of the closet. Bijou on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333105 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 04:10:12 +0000 Bijou 2333105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Every outfit is spectacular - so rich and luxe. Your customisation of items is brilliant. I am loving your monthly posts, as it is gorgeous to see how consistent your style is and how you incorporate new items into your wardrobe. The baggy jeans and cargo pants were brilliant additions for 2023. Sal on "July" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-1#post-2333099 Tue, 01 Aug 2023 03:32:42 +0000 Sal 2333099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great collection Brooklyn.  I love ye olde blazer - it looks fresh as a daisy! The palette of bronze and burgundy is really wonderful on you - I predict the bronze complement gets a lot of wear. The floral coat is always wonderful - you really have got the rich textures incorporated so well.
