So glad you bought the bag, it's lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---day-5#post-2153009 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 05:11:14 +0000 Bijou 2153009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy - boho is not my style, but given my long hot summers, some boho pieces are perfect for my climate, I'm glad that you think it works for me.</p> <p>Slim cat - my bag is a very useful 'Mum bag' as it is a tardis - it holds everything!</p> <p>Minaminu - thank you - I am likely to wear more items like this as my lifestyle becomes more casual, although I think I will always love dressing up in suits and smart dresses.</p> <p>Jane - blues and cognac leather are a great combination - definitely one of my favourite colour palettes (along with a dose of pink and white) for summer.</p> <p>Rachy - the best thing about the dress is how easy it is to wear!</p> <p>Carla - the OBG challenge has been great and a nice distraction from the chaos on the news!</p> <p>KKards - the bag is a definite winner - my finds photo is of it today and not brand new.</p> <p>Angie - yes I do prefer my newer items and so having a day off the OBG challenge was fun too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Liesbeth - I agree that bags should last. I try to be very careful about new bag additions because in the main they are with me for many years.</p> <p>Cardiff Girl - thank you - it can be more challenging revisiting older items because it has highlighted to me how much more I like to wear lighter tones and colours.</p> <p>Shevia - I am going to have to investigate thrifting in the way that you do - to find those wonderful and timeless pieces like your Ulla top. I bet you look fabulous in it.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---day-5#post-2153001 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 03:32:36 +0000 Jaime 2153001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

Looks a bit avant-garde to me with the details and therefore timeless. Still, how cool that the midi length is spot on right now.<br /> As for bags, they should last imo. Yet for myself I've worn out many bags and fallen out of love with others. Trying to get more picky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---day-5#post-2152938 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 15:20:02 +0000 Angie 2152938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>&nbsp;"I realise that I do like my new clothes more than the older stuff and that is a good thing!" =&nbsp;</i>AND WHY NOT!!

I don’t remember seeing you in boho before but it looks great, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---day-5#post-2152871 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 03:11:59 +0000 Bijou 2152871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday I dropped out of the challenge as I just felt like wearing a favourite outfit from summer 2019. I realise that I do like my new clothes more than the older stuff and that is a good thing!</p> <p>Today is a new day and I am back on the challenge wearing two OBG items.</p> <p>This dress made me realise I can wear boho - I refer to this as boho lite. This dress is by Ulla Johnson (I love most of her clothing) bought 5 years ago when the Aussie dollar was stronger against the US dollar, so not as prohibitively expensive as her dresses are today.</p> <p>I feel that I got value for money with this dress because the quality of fabric, being as light as air to wear and yet washes up perfectly each and every time, beautiful construction, smocking and embroidery, are features that have meant that I enjoy wearing this dress. It fills a nice space between my dressy work dresses and casual clothes and given my new WFH lifestyle, is likely to be a firm favourite going forward.</p> <p>The bag is a definite OBG item by Just Cavalli, 7 years old and my most used bag and I can say it gets the award for most valuable OBG wardrobe player. I remember buying it on sale at 50% off at a time when I was not looking for a new bag, but I knew that this would be an instant workhorse. I am pretty good at keeping up with the leather conditioner and so my bag is getting better with age.</p> <p>So two splurge wildcards from circa 5 - 7 years ago that have gone the distance and are not likely to be leaving me any time soon. I slipped on my white shoes, but will often match my bag with these espadrilles or flats. </p>
