What a perfect way to cap off your Coastal Grandmother summer Anonymous on "My Coastal Grandmother style" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coastal-grandmother-style#post-2279249 Mon, 29 Aug 2022 15:37:37 +0000 Anonymous 2279249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/  Congratulations on the new little one.  Your  coastal grandmother style looks perfect.  I am working toward a mountain grandma  style but that might require cowboy boots, something I shy away from as not being from aS not being from a farm or ranch.   Maybe some western inspired booties will be close enough something snakish but with sleek lines. I'd appreciate any ideas you may have. catherine on "My Coastal Grandmother style" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coastal-grandmother-style#post-2279247 Mon, 29 Aug 2022 15:07:29 +0000 catherine 2279247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congratulations and best wishes to all.

She is so adorable.  I would put your style as East Coastal grandmother. It has that slightly more crisp prep look. The West Coasters seem more neutral and wafty ☺️ Sisi on "My Coastal Grandmother style" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coastal-grandmother-style#post-2279210 Mon, 29 Aug 2022 10:15:25 +0000 Sisi 2279210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So many beautiful outfits! My favourites are 1, 5,6 and 14. I like a lot the cognac sandals. Also, fantastic sky in # 6. Elsie is a pretty baby with a pretty name.

Your new moniker suits you but the baby girl is just the best. I love being a grandmother- our baby girl is 14 months and so sweet.

Definitely better than “preppy” as a style descriptor, because preppy seems uptight and your hair looks relaxed and fun.

What a delightful new stage of life to be in. Your high contrast grandmother looks are wonderful. I think #13 might be my favourite if I was forced to pick.

How exciting! You are the new coastal grandma: the high contrast coastal grandma. The vibe is exactly right but, as you note, plus contrast. You may be starting a new trend! L'Abeille on "My Coastal Grandmother style" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coastal-grandmother-style#post-2279178 Mon, 29 Aug 2022 02:12:03 +0000 L'Abeille 2279178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Reporting in for my summer 2022: I am now a coastal grandmother in EVERY sense. Baby Elsie was born a week ago! Here are some highlights from the past summer. I think the new moniker suits me better than "preppy" which used to be the closest descriptor for my summer style preferences. Although I have less white-out and more high contrast than the usual coastal grandma spread. Comments: 1-5 are all pieces and combinations from previous years. Autopilot in summer is easy. Outfits skew more casual and more pretty than my usual Gentlewoman style. 6&7 are from a weekend visit to my sister in Charlottetown. 8 I wore for Acadian National Day on Aug. 15 which is a big deal here. The Acadian flag is the French Tricolore with a yellow star in the top corner. My Malaysian Airlines batik scarf stood in to add the yellow. The ruffled silk blouse in 10 and heavy cotton sack dress in 12 are thrifting finds this summer. Last but not least, for Angie, what I wore to walk around on Table Mountain (13) during the June trip to Cape Town. And 14/15, to stroll the boardwalk at Sea Point. Oh! And 16, the star of the show!
