My question is: How is your husband ever going to top that gift :)? He has raised the bar so high with the metallic pink Bao Bao bag! It's so perfect for you and your style. I love your summer items, but I am jazzed to see that gorgeous floral dress and those fluffy boots in some WIWs as your weather gets colder! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-reflections#post-2314206 Sun, 19 Mar 2023 17:13:06 +0000 Tanya 2314206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous additions, all are so fab and so you.&nbsp; That is especially true for the furry boots, belts and pink Bao Bao - what a beauty.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-reflections#post-2314163 Sun, 19 Mar 2023 10:17:10 +0000 Brooklyn 2314163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great additions. So fab, so you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-reflections#post-2314154 Sun, 19 Mar 2023 03:52:25 +0000 Bijou 2314154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow thank you for the comments and fun that you can see my style in this selection. Pink was my colour for 2023, I have focused on maximising my opportunities to wear that great new bag.</p> <p>I was surprised that I bought 3 items of footwear. Whilst Australian winters are not cold, the fact that my house does not have central heating means that my home office can get chilly and I have no tolerance for the cold. I prefer to rug up vs putting on heating, so the white shearling boots are a pretty version of uggs, it will be interesting to see how often they get worn. I am anticipating that I will wear them often... the Birks and sneakers are already in constant rotation.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-reflections#post-2314146 Sun, 19 Mar 2023 03:00:38 +0000 Jaime 2314146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything here looks beautiful and just perfect for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-reflections#post-2314118 Sat, 18 Mar 2023 22:29:40 +0000 Angie 2314118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This all SCREAMS <b>Bijou</b>!

All such beautiful additions , Bijou. I’d have a pair of the EVA Birks in every colour but that angled front just does not fit the shape of my foot . Why are they so different from the leather and suede ones ?? Anyways , I love very piece here and admire how you find things that are so “ you” . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-reflections#post-2313996 Sat, 18 Mar 2023 13:47:38 +0000 BlueJay 2313996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Awesome colours, Bijou! I can imagine you wearing all of these!

I love that your hubs got you the Bao Bao too. I’m patiently waiting for IM to release the flat backpack in a non-neutral color in my palette (cobalt? teal? maybe even red??), and I would probably invest, since my gray one has become my MVP bag purchase ever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-reflections#post-2313988 Sat, 18 Mar 2023 13:10:27 +0000 Irina 2313988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore your new purchases and in awe of your (and apparently DH’s) ability to find these exciting and unique pieces!

I get such a kick out of seeing your exhilarating wardrobe choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-reflections#post-2313960 Sat, 18 Mar 2023 08:19:17 +0000 Bijou 2313960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by Helena, I have decided to run through my Q1 wardrobe additions. All of these, except the pink jacket at the end were January purchases. My shopping is sporadic as I often buy in sales. I am quite happy to wait to see if what I want eventually gets reduced and don't suffer FOMO as there will always be something else that comes along.</p> <p><b>For my endless summer</b><br />- <b>Birk EVAs</b> - as soon as I saw the colour, I knew these were the Birks for me! I wear these as summer slippers, to the beach and as a shoe going to and from karate training. Practical and comfy.<br />- <b>Hot pink dress</b> - bought on sale and still being worn at least weekly as it is still hot here. Great quality cotton.</p> <p><b>January birthday gifts</b><br />- <b>PINK metallic Bao Bao</b> - DH bought this for my Jan birthday found on a Japanese reseller - new with tags. I had mentioned to DH that I really loved the shiny metallic Bao Baos and in 2016 they even had a pink metallic. Not sure how DH tracked this down, it is so gorgeous and special.<br />- <b>GG pearl belt </b>- a second hand purchase.&nbsp;<b></b>So fun and just works in my wardrobe.</p> <p><b>With a view to travel and update my gear</b><br />2019 was the last time I set foot on a plane or had a holiday away from home... DH, DS and I have plans to take a holiday this year.<br />- <b>Gold raincoat</b> - I wanted a very lightweight raincoat in a neutral. This is oversized and I will be protected. Bought online in the end of season sales.<br />- <b>Gold sneakers</b> - Nike air max 97's are my favourite sneakers and are a fun match with the coat.</p> <p><b>Looking forward to the new season</b><br /><b>Shearling boots</b> - you have no idea how gorgeous these are! Bought online in the sales, they have a low heel and are soft and comfy. My feet get cold in winter, so these are not as crazy as it may first appear.<br /><b>Floral dress</b> - another sale purchase and a beautiful fit. The fabric is reasonably light so once temps hit 20C and below, I will be wearing this and like the Edwardian vibe.<br /><b>Pink jacket</b> - bought this month - a jacket that I thought I would hopefully pick up on sale in Jul/Aug - but strangely Matches Fashion had it briefly reduced and I pounced on it. I have been looking for the right pink jacket for me - this peacoat style works well in my wardrobe.</p> <p>In relation to my plans for dressing for Autumn / Winter 2023 the pink bag and jacket are the foundation pieces around which I will build my looks. My needs are very limited, so I am happy to integrate my new additions into my wardrobe.</p>
