I am sure we are not the only ones here who think about these issues!<br /> I really like the taupe sandals you chose. I think taupe is such a useful neutral. I have been looking for taupe ankle boots for a while. I want to split wears with my taupe knee high boots, as they are a few years old now. You'll be sorted with those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-dark-floral-in-melbourne/page/2#post-1796590 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 11:17:18 +0000 lyn67 1796590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, thank you very much for taking the time to answer me in detail.<br />I first wanted one of these:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.ecipo.hu/szandal-lasocki-2609-02-arany.html">https://www.ecipo.hu/szandal-l.....arany.html</a><br />one is a yellow gold, the other is a light silver but agonized quite a long time over which would do better to me, and eventually bought these matte taupe/kind of tan/ instead:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.deichmann.com/HU/hu/shop/markak/5th_avenue/00008001453745/L%C3%A9zerv%C3%A1gott*mint%C3%A1s*szand%C3%A1l.prod?originOfProductDetailCallForAdd=Search&amp;submit=OK&amp;submit=OK&amp;submit=OK&amp;query=5th%20avenue&amp;setNonOrderFilters=&amp;setNonPagingFilters=&amp;originOfProductDetailCallForView=Search&amp;pageIsSearchResult=true&amp;setFilters=&amp;imgFmt=&amp;q=5th%20avenue&amp;q=5th%20avenue&amp;q=5th%20avenue&amp;showSearchPromotion=true&amp;fromCategoryDetail=&amp;positionInList=47">https://www.deichmann.com/HU/h.....t*mint%C3%</a><br />I only read your answer today and the purchase was done on the weekend but&nbsp;</p> <p>I so agree with you! I am also not a cool blonde, rather a warmer one and now I can really understand and agree with all you said! <br />I just didn't 100% liked any of the 2 metallic shades available.<br />(And yes, I think a rose gold/copper or a pewter silver would have gone better for me, too).&nbsp;<br />The other reason why I bought rather the taupe ones is although I very much love a daytime bling or sparkle, especially metallic anything, I always love a tan shoe either, and the taupe &nbsp;sandals have just a little bit &nbsp;lower &nbsp;and wider block heel </p> <p>than the metallic ones and this thing&nbsp;made them &nbsp;so much easier to brisk walk in them- so, I immediately gave in. Still hope some better suitable metallic shades will be available </p> <p>sometime in the future in&nbsp;my neck of the woods, too-<br />Think I'm sorted for now, will see how they work for me. Thanks so much for your help-I now relaxed to see am not the only one who consider the shades of their shoes such in an accurate way, haha!:-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-dark-floral-in-melbourne/page/2#post-1795783 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 12:39:05 +0000 Brooklyn 1795783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lyn. I am so flattered to be asked for help with this question!<br /> My sandals are rose gold, not yellow gold, so a little more muted than yellow gold and quite a nice combination with silver (jewellery). I tend to prefer warm toned shoes generally, because they bookend my hair. Although I am blonde I am a golden brownish blonde, not a platinum blonde, so I think warm tones work better with my hair than silver or grey. That's why I prefer the warm taupe boots I am wearing in this wiw to cool grey boots (even though I have a pair of grey boots). I do wear silver jewellery a lot with black and white but I mix metals. In this photo of a previous wiw I am wearing black and white with rose gold shoes, silver jewellery and gold hardware on my bag. I think (?) it works because the shoes tie in with my hair and the jewellery with the black and white of the outfit. I also wear tan coloured shoes a lot for the same reason. They are also more low contrast, and closer to a "nude" look on me, which appeals to me.<br /> I am not sure whether you are a warm blonde or a cool blonde? If you are warm, you might prefer gold.<br /> But silver could work if that's your preference. You don't have to bookend. I have often thought about silver or pewter coloured shoes myself!<br /> I hope this helps. Please post a pic of your shoes when you get them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-dark-floral-in-melbourne/page/2#post-1795742 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 10:36:48 +0000 lyn67 1795742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new military skirt, but all others are fab, too! Esp love the laser cut one in the conference outfit-a great trick to do so much better than a safe but boring skirt suit- oh, and there are the geometric prints, color blocks and the moody florals- always &nbsp;mixed with great tops, wow!<br />Now can I have a question on your summer shoes, please?<br />Why did &nbsp;you &nbsp;choose the strapped peep toe bootie sandals in gold and not silver? You know I admired you summer shoe collection(esp the bootie sandals) and you have always matched the the gold ones &nbsp;so gracefully with bl&amp;w outfits and &nbsp;your accessories with &nbsp;silver hardware (maybe silver jewellery, too).<br />I'll have to make my choice soon (gold vs. silver) and wondered if you have had some points which &nbsp;I am not seeing yet. I &nbsp;am also blonde &nbsp;but and have rather silver jewellery and hardwares on bags(+chunky cuffs) and wear bl&amp;w often. Can you help me decide? Thnax sooooooo much! :-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-dark-floral-in-melbourne/page/2#post-1795676 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 04:40:08 +0000 Brooklyn 1795676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenn. I really go for the retro vibe of the A-line skirt and the tall boots. I was only half joking about the go go boots - I really wouldn't mind having a pair :)<br />Thanks delurked. I wouldn't mind borrowing some of your closet too!<br />Thanks citygirldc. You are right about Country Road! They did expand O/S some time ago. They had a store in New York for a while. They are a bit similar to Banana Republic.<br />Thanks Sisi. I am obsessed with floral. Obsessed!<br />And thanks Zoiechic, Dana, Viva and Momofthree1980. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-dark-floral-in-melbourne/page/2#post-1795510 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 20:18:40 +0000 Jenn 1795510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything, Brooklyn. There's something just magical about an A-line skirt and knee-high boots. Your instinct in shortening this one was spot-on. Also, can I just say I'm super-impressed by your travel capsule? You've done the magical trick of making the same items look completely different mixed and matched in different outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-dark-floral-in-melbourne/page/2#post-1795495 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 19:26:27 +0000 Anonymous 1795495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you are not tired of hearing how great you look.

You totally inspire me and love that Ted Baker rose tee, plus the sailor skirt. &nbsp; I noticed that one of your items (skirt) was from Country Road. That's an Aussie brand, isn't it? &nbsp;I remember we had that store here about 15 years ago before they closed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-dark-floral-in-melbourne/page/2#post-1794220 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 17:10:59 +0000 Dana 1794220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, what a fab capsule!

Floral, burgundy and military detailing all spark joy for me. I hope you find something similar.<br /> Thanks Sally. Yes, floral X 4 is a real possibility And I am on the lookout for a floral bag and a floral umbrella (need it here lately). I could end up going floral X 6! I wonder where else I could add some floral...<br /> Thanks Lisap. And go team boots + skirts!<br /> Thanks Lyn, a meet up with you and Deborah would be fun! Next time :)<br /> Thanks Bonnie, Nora, Harmonica, Mirjana, Joyce and Elizabeth.<br /> Jane and Barbara Diane, thank you, I am so pleased that you are inspired! I find it hard to avoid a lot of black when travelling (I am not as clever as Angie) but I hoped that the florals and the burgundy touches would make the outfits feel more interesting and more "me".<br /> And thanks Angie.

Thanks Suz. I was wondering if anyone would comment on the suitcase! I used to have a plain black one but when someone else took it home from the airport (thinking it was theirs), I decided to get a more distinctive one. It really stands out on the luggage carousel! I do remember your lovely blue jacket and was partially influenced by you in getting this one -since this is a new brand for me I was glad that it is YLF approved. It seems like good quality and is a nice weight (not too heavy).<br /> Thanks Jenni. I suppose there are subtle variations in those colours (from more red to more purple) but I get them mixed up too. The jacket is a pinkish burgundy, not as blue as some variations. But I like them all and try to stock up on them when I can.<br /> Thanks FC. Yes, the jacket was meant to be! Why did I even consider a black one!<br /> And thanks Shevia and Karen13. I love Autumn too. And I guess it's pretty obvious that I love Autumnal colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-dark-floral-in-melbourne#post-1793772 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 06:25:55 +0000 Suz 1793772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a KILLER suitcase. Wow.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I love all your outfits. Retro fabulousness. Your new skirt is super fab and the floral one is also gorgeous.&nbsp;</p> <p>My leather jacket is also Massimo Dutti and I really love it -- very soft and easy to wear. I hope you will enjoy yours, which is gorgeous on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-dark-floral-in-melbourne#post-1793767 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 05:23:09 +0000 Jenni NZ 1793767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and the military jacket too. </p>
