I'm a very classic dresser at heart but also want to feel current, so the solution seems to be looking for simple yet well cut essentials and add-ons with a twist.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Katerina, </b>thank you. The brooch is an old one that I picked up a local flea market.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Shevia</b>, coming from the best shopper of all time, that is a great compliment! Now I need your help with my hair. I am tired of the style...</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1870145 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 13:22:29 +0000 RobinF 1870145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! Love the red sweater and the leopard pants! I'm a big fan of animal prints, they are just so fun. I love checking out your WIW's, they are always such a modern twist on classic pieces - I'm full of admiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1870127 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 11:53:48 +0000 Katerina 1870127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such great pieces! The outfits are beautiful and I love your look in all the pictures.<br /> The red colour is fab on you!<br /> No 3 particularly appeals to me.<br /> I also love the brooch in no 5! Could you tell us more about it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1870073 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 04:18:02 +0000 Jaime 1870073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bright reds and white and silver really look wonderful on you and make each outfit. You have become an excellent shopper and can zero in on the right piece in a flash. All around fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1870050 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 02:16:37 +0000 Suz 1870050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce, go for it! That jacket will look fantastic on you. It is proportioned very nicely for us shorter women! And yes, the Sloans have a slightly easier fit all round, I found, than their usual style. I really like them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1870047 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 02:01:52 +0000 Joyce B 1870047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfits, Suz! Sometimes brick and mortar is worth the trip, right? I agree with the 50% off being a good enticer. Those Sloans look fab on you. I lucked out and was also able to get the plaid ones, the fit is great and looser on the thighs than the usual Sloans. I am thinking of adding a matching cropped jacket and after seeing your pictures I might give it a try. The red sweater is super on you, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1870026 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 00:30:54 +0000 Jazzy Dance 1870026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in red!

Each one has interest but is not over the top or overdone. You wear them well! I sense that you have a good understanding of what you will wear and recognize what you are looking for when you see it. that's inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1869966 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 22:03:27 +0000 deb 1869966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did well.

Love the tonal effect. Looks chic and modern. And do post a close-up of the pearls. I’m intruigued. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1869939 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 20:03:24 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1869939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red sweater and military jacket are astoundingly good choices for you. I really love the leopard pants with their grey tones as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1869935 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 19:46:36 +0000 Christina F. 1869935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are my hero. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1869934 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 19:44:46 +0000 Sal 1869934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red on you- and I love the details on these pieces too, I can find red but often it is in very classic pieces not really cool pieces!!</p> <p>The proportions in all work for you and I know silhouette variety has been something you have wanted in the winter so a great success story. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1869933 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 19:42:46 +0000 harmonica 1869933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely FAB, Suz! So much fun with adding red and the items you've found are amazing. So glad you're posting again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1869930 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 19:36:05 +0000 Suz 1869930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am blushing! :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, those are my version of pearls. I will try to make a Find for them so you can get a closer look. I got them years ago at a thrift shop for about a dollar. They are actually oversized silvery-blue pearl shaped baubles. Which work better on me now than they did when I bought them. Regular pearls looked great on me when my hair was blonde but I find they are a bit too warm nowadays unless I have other cream or ivory bits in an outfit. These work with the hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>The red jacket works perfectly with the red boots. The CM sweater is a real fire engine red and the military jacket is what I'd call a true red, almost verging into tomato territory but not quite, but the boots harmonize with both. I didn't have them on for this photo simply because of weather conditions. The La Canadiennes are up to the slush! :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Elizabeth</b>, what thoughtful remarks and good questions! I am really sorry the Sloans did not work on you. (Also, it proves how short my legs are! I think I'm only two inches shorter than you but obviously your legs are much longer, because these are full length on me...)&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you are right that I've got most of my essentials covered and am looking for more fun in the pieces I add. Also, it's what's available in the stores, right? And these pieces fit with my expressed goal of increasing the red in my closet. But I've <b>always</b> been a sucker for military detailing. Angie has mentioned that it works well on her and it equally suits me and so whenever this style hits the market I like to stock up on it.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, thank you. I feel as if focusing on one colour really helped, plus with red being the "colour of the season" I got lucky!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1869925 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 19:18:35 +0000 Angie 1869925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, <b>Suz</b>. Smashingly splendid all round.&nbsp;</p> <p>You've had an brilliant season, <i>Queen Blue, Grey &amp; Fire Engine.</i>&nbsp;I'm thrilled for you. (((HUGS))).&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE the CM jumper in #1 on you. That's KILLER to the Power of KILLER. In fact. I need my crash helmet....</p> <p>I LOVE the checked suit. All sorts of fun Killer Fabness. You're dead right about loving the shorter jacket - it loves you right back.&nbsp;</p> <p>Next fave is the red millitary jacket - another Killer Sublime piece. Does it work with the red boots?&nbsp;</p> <p>Pom-poms, snow leopard cords, travel pants, asymmetry, bling - you've got it going on, girlfriend. Are those pearls you're wearing in #4?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1869924 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 19:16:21 +0000 Elizabeth P 1869924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my Suz, more great finds!</p> <p>You seem to be pushing things more this year, style wise.&nbsp; All your new pieces seem to have more going on than they often do... pattern, funky sleeves, embellishments.&nbsp; Am I noticing this because you are posting them all at once?&nbsp; or is it because your "essentials" are sorted so you are focusing on purchasing statements?&nbsp; Or am I sensing a shift? </p> <p>I also got those Sloan pants, but sent them back.&nbsp; they were a really awkward length on me... way too short.&nbsp; I'd wear them in the summer with bare ankles, but couldn't see how to make them work for me in winter. &nbsp; I was so annoyed with myself for not getting the longs when I first saw them.&nbsp; Funny how longs sell out almost instantly.&nbsp; You'd think they'd clue in, and make more!!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1869922 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 19:13:20 +0000 Anonymous 1869922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jackets on you, but my favorite is #1 with the red sweater. You did a great job finding pieces that will work for your figure and lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1869921 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 19:10:22 +0000 Suz 1869921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, LaP -- I am happy to put myself in that camp then!&nbsp;</p> <p>And yes, I think a short jacket works well on a petite gamine type. Unless, like gryffin, your legs are relatively long, in which case the long over short proportion is a slam dunk.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can and do wear a longer jacket, too...but it usually has to have good waist definition.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-mortar-part-2#post-1869919 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 19:07:29 +0000 LaPed 1869919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for short jackets and blazers! That's my preference too. In fact, I think 4 and 7 are my favs.</p> <p>One can be a militant pacifist, you know. Like Albert Einstein. </p>
