The blazer is pretty maximal. I know that not everyone goes for that look. But I think my style is leaning more maximal these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1/page/2#post-1857771 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 22:46:04 +0000 Anonymous 1857771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your floral blazer looks great! Not sure why you think that people might not like it.<br /> Your clutches and dark florals are such signature items for you.<br /> Great style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1/page/2#post-1857646 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 11:47:37 +0000 Brooklyn 1857646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Lyn, I am very sorry about your loss. Angie is absolutely right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1/page/2#post-1857635 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 10:08:35 +0000 lyn67 1857635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both jackets, including moody floral (hah! not leather:-)) one, too &amp; you styled them perfect!<br />&nbsp;Also, sadly but agreed with <b>Angie</b>: <i>"You can't appreciate the incomparable companionship, character and love of a dog until you have had and lost one".</i> We unfortunately just&nbsp; lost our 10 yrs old beagle... and we are now incurable...:-(. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1/page/2#post-1857562 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 00:32:49 +0000 Roxanna 1857562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for taking the time to decipher my cryptic and shameful autocorrects, Brooklyn I will try that with my boots with the higher shaft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1/page/2#post-1857558 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 23:40:55 +0000 Brooklyn 1857558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, thanks for your comments. I am sorry that your confidence is low. One of the reasons why I posted this set was to show the utility of 2 simple pieces (the jacket and the jeans). I have been feeling bad about my casual style all year as a result of disliking all my blue jeans (for a combination of fit, style and wear and tear reasons). It is amazing how much one good buy (the jeans) has lifted my confidence. I have worn them, and the jacket, umpteen times in the last couple of months in various combinations and I am not tiring of them at all. I think when you find the right building blocks (or "essentials", as I think Angie would call them), things start to come together. </p> <p>Roxanna, thank you! The black boots and floral boots have a high, narrow shaft, so they do stay put underneath the hem of the jeans. The cognac boots are a little wider and lower in the shaft, so I do experience that issue you mention of the hem of the jeans getting caught in the boots. Usually when standing up after sitting. Only at the front because the hem is longer at the back. I just flip it out but it is irritating. I think it is less likely to happen with cropped straight leg or cropped flare jeans. The skinnier the jean, the more it is an issue. These jeans are a relaxed skinny fit, bordering on straight leg.</p> <p>Lynette, thanks and welcome! I am chuffed by your comments. And always happy to meet another dog lover. There are lots of us here. </p> <p>Sally, thanks! Country Road has a spend and save on at the moment. Oh-o </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1/page/2#post-1857507 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 18:53:34 +0000 Roxanna 1857507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's always a treat to see your WIWs! I notice that you wear your jeans ankle length but with the boots tucked under. It looks fabulous, but whenever I try it the boots end up emerging from my jeans and end up looking messy and scrunched. How do you keep them in? Are your boots taller or are your jeans straight leg instead of skinny?<br /> Btw now you have me craving a military coat </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1/page/2#post-1857505 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 18:32:40 +0000 Lynette 1857505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style too! It's not just the beautiful pieces you have, it's the way you out them together into such a pleasing silhouette. You inspire me! And btw, our beloved golden retriever has been gone for 5 years now and we still talk about him and laugh about him all the time. He's still adding joy to our hearts even now. Glad to meet a fellow doggie lover! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857497 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 17:44:55 +0000 Sal 1857497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that military jacket- and your styling! And a lovely thread to read too with the comments re Brooklyn and Angies's dogs.</p> <p>I am not a duplicator but think jeans are the exception. A good fit is hard to find.... just like a good heart:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857458 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 14:56:05 +0000 Anonymous 1857458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have the self -confidence lately &nbsp;to even open these pictures , but I wanted to chime in and say that these military jackets are so perfect for you and your style. &nbsp;And dark florals - again, beautiful. I'm bookmarking this one for individual wardrobe piece ideas . &nbsp;Always admire your look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857402 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 10:44:43 +0000 Brooklyn 1857402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for chiming in SL!</p> <p>Cousin MJ, thanks! You are too kind. I think I am convinced about the jeans. </p> <p>And thanks shevia! I hope you liked the curly hair. I have ordered some devacurl products on forum member Dottie's recommendation. I hope to go curly more often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857381 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 08:47:51 +0000 skylurker 1857381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all, my favourite is #4 because I love the drama of black with gold. The new floral blazer looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857378 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 07:55:32 +0000 Mirjana 1857378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn you look beautiful like usual, I love all but especially with cognac booties, echo with your hair. It is always pleasure to me to see your outfits, love you style. I vote duplicate jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857335 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 03:05:25 +0000 Jaime 1857335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread was so nice that I nearly forgot about your outfits Brooklyn - and they are worth mentioning. The military jacket style suits you as much as the dark florals - love them all.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857330 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 02:48:15 +0000 Brooklyn 1857330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks JAileen! I love me a patterned clutch. Now I am lusting after Diana's floral clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857329 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 02:30:49 +0000 JAileen 1857329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love both jackets on you. Your outfits looks great, and the patchwork clutch is very intriguing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857326 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 02:27:23 +0000 Brooklyn 1857326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Joy! We cross posted. They are using dogs for all sorts of assistance purposes here. A friend at the dog park is training her dog to do therapy visits at hospitals and nursing homes. And I used to have the words "get a dog" as my floating screensaver on my computer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857324 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 02:25:14 +0000 Angie 1857324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Dogs are my favourite targent too). A snuggle and snooze with Ms. B sounds blissful - what a sweetie. I love her naturally smokey eye. ENJOY.&nbsp;</p> <p>Joy, I'd have applauded too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857321 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 02:22:04 +0000 Brooklyn 1857321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No problem Angie. Dogs are my favourite tangent. And I could not agree with you more. Lots of love from me and B to you and S too. I am home today and Ms B is having a lovely lunch time snooze at the moment. I wouldn't mind doing the same. xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857320 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 02:17:48 +0000 Anonymous 1857320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, your outfits are always a special treat. Last weekend at a support group for those with chronic disease, during a brainstorming session on how to deal with everything, one woman suggested, "get a dog." Some of use applauded. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857318 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 01:56:50 +0000 Angie 1857318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And my apologies for going off on a tangent.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857316 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 01:55:44 +0000 Angie 1857316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AGREED (and I'm touched by your words Brooklyn, although I knew you'd get it). You can't appreciate the incomparable companionship, character and love of a dog until you have had and lost one. Like you, we have had dogs our whole lives. I cannot imagine life without them. Dogs imprint on your soul in a way that is beyond special. I also cannot put into words how much I loved and miss the doggies that are no longer with us. With lots of doggie love from Sam and me to Brooklyn and you. Must live in the moment. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857314 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 01:45:57 +0000 Brooklyn 1857314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I am touched. And I know exactly how you feel about Sam and Jasmine and Rosie. It was one of the main reasons I started following your blog. Words cannot express how much I miss the dogs I have lost. My baby is 6 now and already I find myself starting to worry about endings. But I have to try to ignore that and live in the moment. That's what dogs do. And it is one of their many, many endearing features. They make life sooo much better, it's impossible to be without them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857308 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 01:20:31 +0000 Angie 1857308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You crack me up, sweet Brooklyn.&nbsp;</p> <p>:) </p> </p> <p>(I haven't posted a smiley face on YLF since Jasmine and Rosie died. I guess I was ready to post one today - after your last comment, and to another <i>big</i> doggie person. Felt right).&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857304 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 01:13:28 +0000 Brooklyn 1857304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AKKK! I love them all! Impossible to resist the siren call of burgundy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857303 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 01:00:32 +0000 Angie 1857303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooohoooo. MORE collision. I'm loving it!&nbsp;</p> <p>My burgundy capsule below. It's larger than my olive capsule - how weird is that? I have committed to everything but the trousers. Still thinking on those...(Specs are technically brown - but blend well with the burgundy).&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857302 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 00:55:33 +0000 Brooklyn 1857302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I am loving your burgundy and olive green additions!</p> <p>And perhaps now is a good time to confess that I bought some full length, straight leg, dark rinse, undistressed jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/military-jacket-remixes-1#post-1857298 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 00:47:37 +0000 Angie 1857298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH. You were ready for blazers, Brooklyn. Glad you listened to your feelings. You MUST get a velvet blazer. I can see you rock the look.</p> <p>You might like to know that I was FINALLY ready for burgundy this season. Our styles are colliding.... </p>
