Thank you for such a lovely comparison.</p> <p>Mainlady - I am glad that the love for the jacket is unanimous! The good news on the skirt and blouse is that I can take my time on those, because they will not sell out in a hurry.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003915 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 10:44:06 +0000 Mainelady 2003915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is fabulous! You must keep it! I also really like the blouse, but do think it is a tad too roomy for you. I really like the length of the skirt. I think it looks glamorous! You certainly do have a good eye for gorgeous pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003764 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 19:19:53 +0000 The Cat 2003764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That blouse (#6) is incredibly lovely on you. Your outfits in #3-7 exude some very attractive old-school Hollywood glamour vibes. You make me think of the great, immemorial Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003476 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 10:34:15 +0000 Jenni NZ 2003476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I am so glad you are keeping the jacket! I like the blouse too... it was the skirt I didn't like so much but thought that may be my own taste talking not what you need or like best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003460 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 07:29:24 +0000 Bijou 2003460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the additional comments. Shevia, trust my instincts, yes, that is wise.</p> <p>I have returned the skirt, because when I look at photos of me in this skirt, it was fine, but not as good as my favourites (like my apricot tweed skirt), so I decided to return that, which I did today. I am still a bit undecided about the blouse. It is an unusual cut, so the fit on me is right given the cut and I like it with jeans and my black cape...however, there is likely to be other great blouses out there, so I am still pondering whether to return the blouse. My initial feeling is that since I am on the fence that is a sign to return the blouse too.</p> <p>Thanks for all the comments and suggestions - they are hugely appreciated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003454 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 05:35:43 +0000 cjh 2003454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks very nice. You have such a lovely, feminine, sophisticated style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003437 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 03:26:56 +0000 Jaime 2003437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the leopard jacket - you are such a perfect combination of pretty and glam, I would say trust your instincts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003431 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 02:11:26 +0000 nemosmom 2003431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh what a fun fab jacket! It looks really pretty with your hair and I can’t wait to see how you style it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003426 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 01:54:11 +0000 Bijou 2003426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b> thank you so much - yes that makes sense. It is a great jacket and works with lots in my wardrobe. It is only the start of the season, so lots of beautiful items will be coming into the stores, so no need to settle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003377 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 22:50:18 +0000 Angie 2003377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bijou, </b>I vote keep the jacket and pass on the rest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003234 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 09:20:57 +0000 Jane 2003234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a glamorous selection. </p> <p>The jacket is really super, I think I would forgive it, if it is a little on the large size, because of it being so super on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the blouse for me would be a return. If it doesn't fit just right, there are I think a few of this style around, so I might move on. I love the skirt though and the fit looks good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003232 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 09:15:06 +0000 Brooklyn 2003232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, you MUST keep that jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003188 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 01:53:28 +0000 taylor 2003188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces Bijou!<br /> The cape is stunning and looks beautiful with the blouse!<br /> I love the fit of the skirt...not a wowza color, but could you spice it up with something colerful from that fabulous wardrobe you have? Agreeing with Brooklyn that not everything can be a statement piece...it’s elegant for sure . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003187 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 01:39:51 +0000 Bijou 2003187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - the faux fur jacket and blouse are the smallest size, so if I need to size down, then these should be returns. The cut of the blouse is a wide cut - not a traditional shirt - the cut of the shirt and dropped shoulder sleeve is shown at the back.</p> <p>Brooklyn, I know exactly what you mean. I was wondering if this skirt is for me, as the ensemble works well with my jeans and also can be dressed up with my black pencil skirt. </p> <p>Maybe I should return the shirt and skirt... I will find giving up the jacket a bit harder... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003166 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 00:21:17 +0000 Brooklyn 2003166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The faux fur jacket is so glamorous on you! You look soooo great in 2. I like the other pieces too. My only hesitation on the skirt is that the grey colour seems a bit dull for your style. That said, not everything can be a statement piece and I can see it would be a useful neutral to build on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003163 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 00:10:16 +0000 gryffin 2003163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purrrrrr-fect!&nbsp; I love that leopard jacket on you.&nbsp; Glamorous but uber practical and wonderful with your coloring!&nbsp; The whole ensemble looks wonderful together but the pieces look tike the will be great on their own.&nbsp; I love the whole thing but the jacket, wow, I die!!&nbsp; Enjoy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003098 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 20:03:34 +0000 Sal 2003098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see them as keepers too. Elegant but also interesting. Gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003094 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 19:59:43 +0000 Cardiff girl 2003094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I m a bit of a sucker for leopard print and I absolutely love that faux fur jacket and blouse.The skirt is very elegant.Keepers I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003086 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 19:47:09 +0000 Katerina 2003086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous pieces, Bijou, as Angie said, they will work so well with your style and wardrobe. I like them all very much, but the skirt is especially stunning, looks beatiful with the blouse and it will be super versatile with many tops and toppers. It is a great piece for your wardrobe. I really like the way you have styled the pieces, especially no 3 and 7. The red pumps are so pretty with this skirt and blouse, such a classy and classic combination. They would work nicely also with no 3 as a further option, wouldn’t they?<br /> I am also thinking about your white booties, they would look nice with the skirt. Maybe oxfords too as a fun juxtaposition. You are the best in building and maintaining the most fantastic, cohesive, authentic and fun wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003074 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 18:57:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2003074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfits you've created with these new items. Great finds--good to nab them when you could! Definitely an old Hollywood glamour vibe, but a modern take. Your pumps are terrific with this skirt. I wonder how it would look with a sleek heeled boot, too. I agree with shortening the skirt a bit. Your camera angle may also be adding some length to our view of it, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003073 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 18:52:56 +0000 Alicewonderland 2003073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all the pieces look GREAT, especially with your old pieces. I even like the leopard blouse, and I usually don’t like leopard blouses at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003064 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 18:28:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 2003064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The leopard is so right on trend. I went to our largest local mall last night after work, the stores were full of it especially in shoes! I love the faux fur jacket on you and predict you will have such fun with it. I actually think clients might love that- especially if it were the second time they met you, if you don't feel happy wearing it the first time. I get compliments on my faux fur "kiwi vest" from both men and women. It looks so great with your hair.<br /> The blouse is gorgeous too. I guess I find the skirt a bit corporate for my taste but your needs are different. It wouldn't suit my Sassy Shoemaker's Elf persona but I think it fits your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003055 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 17:56:25 +0000 viva 2003055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love these looks! Christie is right about the Hollywood glamour of it all. That black cape jacket is incredible! I really love the look of that over the leopard blouse - that is my favorite. You look marvelous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003053 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 17:50:10 +0000 Suzanne 2003053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The leopard blouse looks great on you!

I can see the items work seamlessly into your style,<b> Bijou.&nbsp;</b><b></b><b></b>Fabulous&nbsp;styling as always.&nbsp;<b></b><b></b></p> <p><b></b><b></b>Skirt looks dead right after a&nbsp;little hack.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you need a smaller size on the blouse and topper?&nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003037 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 17:12:51 +0000 Carla 2003037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The leaopard prints get my vote. Wowsa! That jacket and the blouse are fabulous. I'm not so sure about the skirt, though. Have to say the older items - cape and camel coat - and your styling is spot on, and you are on trend with the beige/tan/camel colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2003008 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 15:51:02 +0000 Anonymous 2003008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree about seeing what the skirt looks like shorter. The shape and length just seem sort of boxy, may be nicer with a less straight hem. But I like the other pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2002996 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 15:35:18 +0000 ChristelJ 2002996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great pieces! Old school Hollywood glamour comes to mind. Yet modern. I especially love the cut of the faux fur jacket, and the pattern mixing of the blouse and skirt. The red shoes are fun. <br />I would maybe pin up the skirt to see what it looks like a bit shorter. <br />You are gorgeous in these shapes and colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-season-purchases#post-2002981 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 15:16:48 +0000 Bijou 2002981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Australian Autumn / Winter stock is starting to hit our retail and my favourite retailer Cue, has got in its first drop of stock which is on limited release, so whilst they are statement pieces I am unlikely to see others wearing them as there were only 5 jackets released in my State and they sold out very quickly.</p> <p>So I was very lucky to grab the particularly limited cropped faux fur leopard jacket and the matching skirt and blouse. I am most likely to wear these pieces separately, but it will be fun to have this ensemble.</p> <p>However, I can get a bit swept away, and I wanted to get the YLF view on whether these are good additions for me. All items can be returned. This is definitely a different look for me, but I was wanting to branch out my style a bit more. The faux fur is fine for work on casual dress days and definitely on days when I am working in the office and not seeing clients.</p> <p>The cape jacket in #3 and coat in #4 are my old items, but these are likely to be outfits that I will wear to work.</p> <p>Photo 1 &amp; 2 - Faux fur with jeans<br />Photo 3 - skirt and blouse with cape jacket<br />Photo 4 - skirt and blouse with coat<br />Photo 5 - skirt, blouse and fur jacket<br />Photo 6 - blouse<br />Photo 7 - blouse and skirt</p> <p>Suggestions and comments much appreciated. The skirt is long, so not sure if it needs shortening. </p>
