My actual wardrobe is a sight to behold. I enjoy it again every day.<br /> So, I have only kept the very best of my Summer clothes and I will start to build from there with a PLAN. Having just taken a four months off full time work I am glad summer is cheaper to furnish!<br /> I love your overall theme of neutrals and drape and volume and movement.<br /> I think I will be adding more drape to my more structured signature winter style. You have a very different palette between your seasons. Roll on Summer. Still two months really before its gets hot here but Spring is fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/southern-hemisphere-friends-your-wardrobe-plans-for-springsummer#post-996204 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:50:10 +0000 Lantana 996204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn can you provide a link to the Zara top? I am busily pinning drapey tops for summer.<br /> And it was so nice of you to send that skirt to Anne.<br /> Hil I was thinking about how happy I have been with this winter's wardrobe. I have been as warm and comfortable and stylish as I wanted to be, every day. That is quite an achievement and it's what I am working towards for S&amp;S.<br /> It's the hellish days that are going to be the real challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/southern-hemisphere-friends-your-wardrobe-plans-for-springsummer#post-996173 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:16:44 +0000 Lyn D. 996173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Already have a new drapy linen top from Zara.<br />I am thinking about a hi/lo sleeveless dress for the hottest days, but might even try dying my current one and having the hem altered rather than replacing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/southern-hemisphere-friends-your-wardrobe-plans-for-springsummer#post-996161 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:56:18 +0000 puffenstuff 996161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am holding off as long as possible, I know once it gets here it lasts for sooo long and I am sick of it by December. But I think to make it more bearable I do want more breezy shirts and silk tees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/southern-hemisphere-friends-your-wardrobe-plans-for-springsummer#post-995726 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:18:32 +0000 Caro in Oz 995726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't need much (note the word need) but I am looking for a couple of linen dresses to wear when it is too hot to wear anything else. I know I don't want black &amp; I already have a white dress. Other than that I need an everyday summer bag &amp; some long shorts&nbsp;&amp; will probably buy some shoes/sandals to update things a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/southern-hemisphere-friends-your-wardrobe-plans-for-springsummer#post-995122 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:38:23 +0000 anne 995122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for asking Hil. You are trending rather neutral and drapy and Deborah even drapier.<br /> I need to stock up on summer sandals as I did a big cull of worn out ones before I packed and moved.<br /> I'd like to buy a dress for high summer. Am pretty keen on trying to get one from an ethical fashion source since I have done so badly in trying to buy that way but I did come across lots of floaty sundresses. I'd like a lightweight woven tank. Am very attracted by the striped tube skirt look though not sure if it will be either flattering or great in the hotter weather.<br /> Sorry I don't have any pics </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/southern-hemisphere-friends-your-wardrobe-plans-for-springsummer#post-995081 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 11:40:14 +0000 Debra 995081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some great looks Hil, I am still planning my summer wardrobe and purchases am looking at adding more greys and soft whites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/southern-hemisphere-friends-your-wardrobe-plans-for-springsummer#post-995047 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:37:40 +0000 Lantana 995047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have your first look pinned as well but thereafter you tend towards a more arty look. I can so see you in neutral linen lagenlook, Hil. Go for it!<br /> I've purchased a few S/S items already and three of them are striped as I am looking for a little more drama to my "modern classic".<br /> I will be wearing white cigarette pants as a change up from my tired old bootcuts. They are a bit squeezy at the mo but I plan to ease the squeeze over the next 6weeks.<br /> (That's the plan.)<br /> I have a couple of pairs of slouchy pants but very little to pair them with so I'd love a few of those lovely drapey tops the northerners have been sporting all summer.<br /> I covet a pair of nude cage sandals- I've seen lots of these on the forum.<br /> And I will buy a new hat for summer, something with an enormous brim like the one Shevia posted recently.<br /> I will not be buying any tee shirts!<br /> I'm having a lot of fun planning and I think you can tell I am drawing heavily on my YLF lessons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/southern-hemisphere-friends-your-wardrobe-plans-for-springsummer#post-995041 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:10:15 +0000 Deborah 995041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hil I like what you have posted here. &nbsp;I think there is coherency here. &nbsp;You are favouring slouchy elements with a bit of arty also. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am thinking lots of black (suprise) &nbsp;and a lot of simplicity with edge. &nbsp;I have purchsed a few things with spring / summer in mind and they black, modern silhouettes, draping and a little avant garde in the sylings. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am lusting after the complexgeometries long strap tank dress (1)&nbsp;and also their junction dress (2)&nbsp;(as worn by Odyssey),&nbsp;as these would epitomise what I want in a dress for summer - and they can be worn multiple ways.&nbsp;I have managed to get my hands on a long strap tank top and the dress is currenlty listed on ebay but the coffers are a bit empty </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/southern-hemisphere-friends-your-wardrobe-plans-for-springsummer#post-995037 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 09:59:09 +0000 Hil 995037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to wear more skirts. Angie's MOTG tube skirt formula is very much a look I want to try. </p> <p>I am attracted to&nbsp;looks along the lines of:<br /><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/285978645060367055/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/285978645060367055/</a><br /><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/285978645060828476/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/285978645060828476/</a><br /><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/285978645061016002/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/285978645061016002/</a><br /><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/285978645061016000/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/285978645061016000/</a></p> <p>I am not sure there is any coherency here but I just thinking out loud </p> <p>What are you thinking? </p>
