I love the blue sweater you inherited from your husband (and that whole outfit, really), and your new print skirt is lovely--I think it works really well both ways you've shown it here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season/page/2#post-2258763 Sun, 10 Apr 2022 21:35:04 +0000 Sal 2258763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kelly.&nbsp; You have the balance with practical and feminine right - I must check out some of your boots looks for how to do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season/page/2#post-2258752 Sun, 10 Apr 2022 20:26:11 +0000 kellygirl 2258752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have nailed the spring into fall.

I think, just for fun, you should try an outfit with three bold solids, one being that bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258473 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 20:20:23 +0000 Sal 2258473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this combination. The pink and scarf felt a bit prettier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258445 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 16:28:36 +0000 Angie 2258445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good,<b> Sal</b>! What are you wearing the boots with today?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258390 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 03:00:59 +0000 BlueJay 2258390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very envious of you biking to work! 30 km sounds amazing!</p> <p>The blue sweater of your husband's is a really lovely blue on you as is the last pic too. I really like how you paired the blue with the brown and white polka dot scarf and the caramel of the boots. Those colours work really well with your colouring.&nbsp;</p> <p>The hanky skirt is awesome too. I like how you paired it with white and the light-coloured denim jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258364 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 00:29:12 +0000 Sal 2258364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carla - the blue sweater and skirt may just work together.&nbsp; Will trial and report back.&nbsp; I loved the double denim too!!</p> <p>Sisi - love my yellow bag - will always remind me of Italy.</p> <p>Thanks Cardiff Girl - I purchased the boots as I really needed a very practical option for work and wet weather and weekend sport etc...&nbsp; I think it will be playing around with them, I am wearing them today with a pink sweater and that feels good.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Slim Cat - I wore the skirt again yesterday and really loved my outfit.&nbsp; I feel confident this will get a lot of wear from September through to May (in the coldest months it might not work unless I wear tights but that still may work).</p> <p>Thanks Angie.&nbsp; Good thinking re the boots.&nbsp; I think a couple of bad photos put me off on the day but I am wearing them today and feeling better about the outfit.</p> <p>Robin - I haven't worn much blue recently but am enjoying wearing it more.&nbsp; As I am reducing the black in my wardrobe blue is coming forward a bit more.</p> <p>Star - thank you!&nbsp; Yes I think tucking this white top with the skirt would have made the proportions a bit better especially with the sneakers.&nbsp; I wore it again yesterday with a shorter top and felt great.</p> <p>Lyn - I know what you mean re length of tops!!&nbsp; Definitely I too need different lengths.&nbsp; And yes it was good to get the blue sweater, it's nice to have a free option.</p> <p>Catherine - I loved the double denim too.&nbsp; I think I have worn this exact combo before but I am not 100% sure...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258246 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 23:10:54 +0000 Carla 2258246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does the blue sweater work with the skirt? &nbsp;It looks like it might! &nbsp;The column of blue denim is fabulous and very modern ‘Charlie’s Angels’ - and I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258199 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 15:56:21 +0000 Sisi 2258199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All very nice, Sal, as usual! No suggestions, sorry,&nbsp;I can only say that I particularly&nbsp; like the skirt - with all those colours it can go with everything -&nbsp; and the blue outfit with the cognac accents is fab. I see that you still love the little yellow bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258192 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 15:32:11 +0000 Cardiff girl 2258192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great skirt and l really like the outfit you have done with it.The boots are fab too.l think as the weather gets more fall-y you will wear them more.l wear boots all the time mainly with trousers but also with skirts and dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258181 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 14:56:41 +0000 slim cat 2258181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Th new skirt is my fav on you - great colors and perfect length!

Elegantly Sporty and Trendy Classic. The white touches are crisp and modern. LOVE them! .....you can send both outfits to me, please....</p> <p>You rock a tank and Birkies too!&nbsp;</p> <p>WRT the new toffee boots, maybe try them with your skirts and dresses with a bag to match. That will throw in "the pretty" I suspect you're after.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258169 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 13:33:23 +0000 RobinF 2258169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great outfits!

Then, I especially love the skirt -(color, print and cut are gorgeous). You can wear it with all the colors the skirt has only, I would like to see just a little bit of shorter (or more fitted) tops with it. Then, this is my all times dilemma (as per Brooklyn said) tops I use for flowy/fuller midaxis, I cannot use for pants- or more fitted shorter skirts...(where I love longer and looser)....Yes, I know...that is one of&nbsp; the main reason I cannot keep a minimal wardrobe-you've been warned!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258161 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 07:01:37 +0000 catherine 2258161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, thanks for posting these cute outfits. I like them all, and the double denim is my favorite. You look very stylish, yet comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258159 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 05:50:52 +0000 Sal 2258159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn - I think the two tops below will be shorter and a better length. This oatmeal top with boots might work- although I think I will prefer to use my blush and navy and yellow rather than earth tones. Fun to try!! And a wrap top would be a great addition for me - will keep my eyes open!</p> <p>Thanks The Cat - there are lots of colours so I can have fun. And I agree re the camel up top with the boots. I tried that with the spotted scarf in pic one - I need a couple of go to looks. I have a coat and a pashmina that will help too. I have a blue knee length skirt but it’s not denim. It might work though!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258156 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 04:38:36 +0000 The Cat 2258156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all these outfits for you.</p> <p>Your gorgeous skirt looks like a very versatile item that could easily be styled for different seasons and occasion. A close look at it reveals lots of colours in the pattern. So when you look into your closet, you might find that you have several tops, toppers, shoes and boots that pick up the various colours of the skirt. </p> <p>The boots might feel easier to wear if you repeat their colour in an item near your face (e.g. top, topper, necklace or patterned scarf). By the way: How about wearing these boots with a midi denim skirt, your new patterned blouse and a camel cardigan or wrap? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258155 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 04:25:44 +0000 Brooklyn 2258155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new additions Sally. Especially the skirt. And your outfits look great. </p> <p>With my skirts I aim for a 1/3 top 2/3 skirt proportion. That’s easy to achieve if I tuck or semi tuck my top, but if I don’t, I can still achieve it with a shorter top and/or a longer skirt (part of the reason I prefer a midaxi to a midi). I’ve gradually built up a collection of tops that land at my high hip and don’t need to be tucked. Unfortunately I usually can’t wear the same tops with jeans (because I like them a little longer then). </p> <p>I think a wrap top would look really good on you with this skirt, or a top that kind of ties/knots at the front (like the one in this photo). </p> <p>There are so many colours in the skirt, there should be a lot of tops (plain and patterned) that would go with it. If you want to try it with the boots, I’d try for a camel coloured top or top that has some camel in it, to pull things together. It might help your eye adjust to the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258154 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 03:56:44 +0000 Sal 2258154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy - we cross posted.&nbsp; I will try it with the boots - I am going to experiment with the boots a bit this weekend.&nbsp; I think I should have front tucked the tank with the skirt.&nbsp; I think it has potential to be really useful for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258148 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 02:18:48 +0000 Sal 2258148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Helena - that's a nice compliment!</p> <p>Jaime - I think that one is my favourite too, so simple but it works.&nbsp; I used to wear a lot of blue but haven't recently so it was a good catch...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258147 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 02:18:00 +0000 Anonymous 2258147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear your new skirt well. It may be great with your new boots too, especially if you wear a jacket to bulk up the top part of your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/springy-fall-wiw-and-start-of-season#post-2258141 Wed, 06 Apr 2022 01:42:51 +0000 Jaime 2258141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits and I like your plan to experiment more with color mixing and pattern.
