Very leg lengthening indeed! Pale blue is really good on you.</p> <p>I have only been to Perth once and it was in the Spring- I loved it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152784 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 18:50:16 +0000 Angie 2152784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bijou,</b> we LOVE Japan with you (and HK and Singapore)! Great that your trip postponement will eventually work out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152703 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 10:15:56 +0000 Bijou 2152703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - oh yes - those blooms are beautiful but are messy. What is even worse is the shedding of leaves in the Fall. My very first house had the most beautiful jacaranda tree out the front and my husband had to park his car under it - what a nightmare of cleaning he had - each month brought a new issue. However, I still maintain that that level of beauty is worth the effort (although my car got the garage)!</p> <p>Shevia - Yes it was very nice of DH and he gets thrilled each and every time I wear that cute cap, so I think it will be my constant companion for many years. I must say how impressed I am at its construction and it even came with its own little dust bag.</p> <p>Jane - there is something about spring that is just wonderful - the longer days, the flowers - it is definitely my favourite season of the year.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152694 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 08:59:22 +0000 Jane 2152694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag! the shorts! that blue shirt - all gorgeous. The jacaranda trees are gorgeous and how lifting it must be to walk under them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152673 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 03:23:16 +0000 Jaime 2152673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! Shorts look great, I applaud the covered arms and head, and it was very nice of DH to buy that Kenzo cap for you - Kenzo is one of my thrift (nearly) must buys! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152646 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 01:46:10 +0000 JAileen 2152646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute bag, very cute outfit! &nbsp;We visited LA several years ago and saw the beautiful jacarandas blooming there. &nbsp;We were warned: don’t park under them! &nbsp;I think it was because flowers are sticky. &nbsp;Does that sound right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152640 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 00:22:22 +0000 Bijou 2152640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim Cat - I’m sure these trees would grow well in South CA as it is a similar climate to where I live.</p> <p>Carla - it is fun to see where we all live. My environment is urban because I live close to the city central district.</p> <p>Irina - yes I love the cap too which makes me want to get out and walking.</p> <p>Angie - you are too kind, I love Japan, so it is nice to have items that remind me of holidays there. When Covid is sorted and we are allowed to travel again, a family holiday to Japan will be booked. Our planned 2020 holiday was cancelled and I have to say ANA were brilliant and fully refunded our airfares even though we bought cheaper non refundable tickets.</p> <p>Kellygirl - it is a cute bag and high praise as you look amazing in your shorts.</p> <p>KKards - I find shorts a bit tricky, so thank you so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152555 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 17:49:49 +0000 kkards 2152555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FAB..this is how to wear shorts!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152537 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 17:09:19 +0000 kellygirl 2152537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Squee, you are just too cute! I love this and I love shorts during the hot weather too. The bag is the perfect accessory here. You have such a fun style, Bijou! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152524 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 16:40:06 +0000 Angie 2152524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER CUTE.....

I would love to go on safari and see the animals in their natural landscape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152457 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 11:32:17 +0000 Star (Lise) 2152457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White shorts for summer are a must for me.&nbsp; I have a Tommy Hilfiger cotton pair quite similar to yours that are approx. 15 years old, and still look pristine, but I have had them altered for weight loss..&nbsp; This a classic summer outfit - YLF!&nbsp; Pretoria, the capital of South Africa is also known as Jacaranda City so thanks for the reminder how pretty they are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152449 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 11:05:50 +0000 Lynne 2152449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous, I love your amazing shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152437 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 09:07:57 +0000 Minaminu 2152437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super stylish! Love the blouse and the fun bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152424 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 08:04:13 +0000 Liesbeth 2152424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! Those soft blues are smashing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg---wiw-day-3#post-2152419 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 06:35:52 +0000 Bijou 2152419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spring weather is so unpredictable. Yesterday I was in boots and a jacket, today it is hot - 30C.</p> <p>This OBG challenge has highlighted quite a few things for me and today has been revealing too. I realised that I have very few summer OBG items because with my long hot summers I wear out my favourite summer clothing and footwear, especially my summer footwear. I have a couple of items that fit the bill of being old but not favourite and they have only lasted because they have not been worn overly much. Today's item is my white shorts that are 10 years old and are mainly worn to the beach in high summer.</p> <p>I don’t wear shorts often as I prefer more leg coverage, but shorts can be useful, so these are still in my wardrobe.</p> <p>White shorts (10 years old), with blue blouse 2019, favourite white slides 2017, Furla Hello Kitty bag 2019 and Kenzo cap 2020. </p> <p>DH bought me the cap after hearing that Kenzo died - so this is very new and already getting worn often because I wear a hat or cap most days when out walking.</p> <p>Bonus photos of jacaranda trees from my morning walk that are in full bloom for Angie to remind her of Cape Town at this time of year. They are native to South Africa but do very well in Australia and are always a highlight of November. When you fly into Perth you see purple from the trees in bloom all over the city as they are used to line our streets. </p>
