Very gracious of you . I agree that heels and anything too refined seems wrong now , or not right anyways . Maybe it’s why I’m so tempted to get a pair too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring/page/2#post-2145042 Sun, 20 Sep 2020 16:17:49 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2145042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry to hear you’ve been so ill. I quite agree that the obsession with thinness as a proxy for health is inaccurate. That’s true in my case—I’ve lost weight I didn’t need—but isn’t always positive. I hope you get back to feeling fab soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring/page/2#post-2145013 Sun, 20 Sep 2020 11:23:02 +0000 Brooklyn 2145013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks FI. I know you meant it as a compliment, but I’m not a poster girl for fitness. I lost a lot of weight last year due to ill health and have struggled to get to some sort of equilibrium since. Health is king. And fuscialicious is not a word I know. But it sure sounds good!</p> <p>Thanks Jane. Great to hear from you! I hope (for dogs) that the WFH trend continues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring/page/2#post-2145007 Sun, 20 Sep 2020 10:34:49 +0000 Jane 2145007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cinnamon floral skirt is especially gorgeous. It is a good time for dogs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring/page/2#post-2145002 Sun, 20 Sep 2020 07:19:51 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2145002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for stompy boots! You look terrific. I wouldn’t say these pix gave me body envy—more like nostalgia &amp; a look ahead at getting back to the shape I used to be. I’m not there yet, but a lot closer than I was! “Fuscialicious” is a word I should remember &amp; use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring/page/2#post-2144992 Sun, 20 Sep 2020 04:45:49 +0000 Brooklyn 2144992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lisa. I get body envy too. More so during the reign of skinnies. And also envy people who wear black and cool colours really well. I’d wear a lot more black and blue. We are all human I used to get very self conscious about the size of my (big) feet in Docs. I never wore them in the 90s. But now I feel ready to embrace them. I miss dressing up too but I think part of the appeal of Docs is that they have character but don’t feel contrived/overdressed for these strange times. Heels feel very strange to me ATM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring/page/2#post-2144977 Sun, 20 Sep 2020 01:36:46 +0000 Anonymous 2144977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always , always love your outfits and admit to body type envy too . I’d dress like this all the time too ! I think I’m also missing just dressing in general . Also funny : I’ve never been a fan of the Doc style stompy boot , but for some reason it’s holding more appeal for me lately . Not sure why .... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring/page/2#post-2144707 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 07:38:17 +0000 Brooklyn 2144707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia. The ombré jacket is still my favourite wardrobe item. I’m going to try restoring it with Tarrago this summer. It’s fading fast. (And I hope everything is well with you. I’ve been following the news from your country.)</p> <p>Thanks Sally, that’s a lovely compliment. Would you like an asymmetric skirt? Tell me your requirements and I’ll will keep an eye out for you :)</p> <p>Thanks DL, great to hear from you. I am as well as can be with life’s many challenges. I hope you are too. Enjoy boot season for me. It’s always a bit sad when it ends :(</p> <p>NM, I’ve found lots of turtlenecks and mock necks around this year and last year. I’ve got quite a collection now. Hopefully you will find some soon. If you are after a layering top, I really like the one I’m wearing in no 2 from Peruvian Connection. It’s cotton and comes in lots of colours. But not green I think. I have a green one from Gestuz (not in Finds). I don’t like Uniqlo layering tops that much. Something about the weight and feel of them. But I quite like their sweaters. They had lots of turtlenecks this year. </p> <p>Jessi, teal is my HEWI. I was thinking a metallic pair could be nice too. </p> <p>Suz, thanks. Lots of high neck tops around this year. And you need an asymmetrical skirt! I wear cotton anti chafing shorts underneath my skirts in cool weather. If you wear them over your tights that might help with sticking? </p> <p>JAileen, thanks. You know I’m with you on ombré. Also butterflies. </p> <p>FC, “luscious” is a great word! Thanks for noticing the details. Lots to take in with so many photos. </p> <p>Slim cat, thanks. Tall boots are tricky. Getting the right calf fit, toe shape, heel and colour. Hopefully there will be more to choose from this year if they are trending.</p> <p>And thanks RC, ST, KG, ND, Star, Catherine and Joy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring/page/2#post-2144691 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 02:54:10 +0000 Jaime 2144691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So beautiful! I am admiring your color coordination and ability to go from dark to cinnamon all within your signature style. Still love that ombre jacket every time I see it on you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring/page/2#post-2144677 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 01:01:34 +0000 Sal 2144677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, you look wonderful in your signature style.&nbsp; Your outfits are very much in line with Angie's style thoughts this morning - wearing what suits you, being stylish, reworking and remixing older pieces, and wearing what is practical for your climate.</p> <p>Really love the skirt looks - you inspire me with your asymmetric skirts with movement!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144675 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 00:50:30 +0000 Carla 2144675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fabulous set of outfits. It may be your usual, but looks fresh to me - especially the cinnamon/butterscotch combinations. &nbsp;I’m down for a bum-bag, and have cognac or brown combat boots on my ‘to buy’ list. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144673 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 00:24:45 +0000 Jessikams 2144673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Brooklyn, thx for those boot inspirations! You’ve reminded me not to settle for “meh” when there could be amazing teal lace up boots instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144669 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 22:41:02 +0000 delurked 2144669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pics and hi to Brooklyn. Next time, just remember to buy an extra in my size so I can clone your wardrobe. I’m looking forward to putting on some boots soon. Hope you’re well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144667 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 20:49:16 +0000 nemosmom 2144667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sitting on my hands trying not to buy that green turtleneck!</p> <p>Where do you find such great turtlenecks?&nbsp; I tried one from Uniqlo, but it had a different color thread knitted into it and I didn't care for the space-dye look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144647 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 16:58:35 +0000 kellygirl 2144647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a treat to see you! I can't pick a fave but I love the pattern mix and stompy boots in 10! So pretty. You have such an identifiable style. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144638 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 16:32:00 +0000 JAileen 2144638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Finally we get to see Ms B! &nbsp;Glad she got to go to the beach. &nbsp;Scrolling through the pictures I think this one is my favorite, no this one is my favorite, etc. &nbsp;I LOVE the colors in 6 - so lovely. &nbsp;The skirt in 12 is cool. &nbsp;But my real fave is ... 3 - ombre jacket for the win! &nbsp;But I think you look great in all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144634 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 16:27:02 +0000 Suz 2144634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, you look amazing! I love how those flowy asymmetrical skirts work on you. I'm making it a goal to find one of those for fall/winter wear for myself. Assuming I can find one that won't stick too much to tights, that is. It's just such a lovely look especially with the high necked tops that you and I both like to wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>You are also showing of the high boots trend to perfection --- yay!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144622 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 15:54:22 +0000 Anonymous 2144622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful place! Love #5 the most and that backpack too!<br /> Laughing at "wearing short sleeves cause it's warming up". I'm wearing short sleeves cause it's cooling off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144621 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 15:50:05 +0000 nuancedream 2144621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always look forward to your outfit posts, Brooklyn.

Each look is superb. Some standout details for me:&nbsp; Your choice of tan boots in 7; so fresh for spring. Outfit 5-6, head-to-toe warm tan fabness, with so many great details. The playful chic look of 8-10; such a great pattern mix, and I love the combo of the short-sleeved top and mid-calf boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144613 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 15:18:13 +0000 slim cat 2144613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have beautiful collection - love it all. The bags, skirts and boots are just perfect! It takes a long time to find the perfect shoes/boots for skirts - I'm still looking for the right pair with low heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144611 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 15:15:13 +0000 catherine 2144611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are fantastic.

Dogs are the best. You know it. I know it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144608 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 15:10:22 +0000 Brooklyn 2144608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Janet. Ditto! Yes, it’s Herschel, I think I lemminged it from you and RunCarla. I love it and use it several times a week (mostly for walks with the puppy). I just got another one because I wanted one in the rust/burgundy family. Also Herschel. You might need it too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144607 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 15:09:06 +0000 Angie 2144607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Matching Ms. B was the first thing I noticed. Aspiring to be more like our incredible dogs is therapeutic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144605 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 15:04:16 +0000 Brooklyn 2144605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! I wondered if you’d notice my matchy matchy outfit with Ms B. You know how I aspire to be more like my dog :)</p> <p>Thanks Bijou. Yes we are very lucky. I anxiously watch the figures everyday from Victoria. I’m so happy that things are improving there. And that our numbers are under control too of course. Fingers crossed that we can keep it that way.</p> <p>Jessi, thanks. I’m a tricky fit for tall boots. I usually need a style with a stretchy calf insert or lace ups for a good fit. I haven’t seen anything tempting this year. Still way too many heels out there for my liking. Hopefully things will change soon. My HEWI list is:<br /> 1. A patchwork pair similar to pic 1 (Wittner) but flat or near flat.<br /> 2. A lizard or snakeskin look pair (oxblood would be nice).<br /> 3. A lace up teal pair like the one in pic 2 (Chloe). But flat or near flat. I think my chances of getting this are virtually nil but I can dream a little.</p> <p>And thanks PP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144601 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 14:58:42 +0000 Janet 2144601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love your style and want to wear all your outfits, basically. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>Hey, I think we are backpack twins! Is that the "winter floral"? I love mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stomping-into-spring#post-2144597 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 14:49:33 +0000 Brooklyn 2144597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Chris. I wish that was my deck! It’s a view of a dog friendly beach on the central coast of NSW. Ms B had a lovely time in the sand and surf.</p> <p>Thanks Lyn. I’m wearing the floral mesh top in pic 2. I layer another top underneath it because it is indeed quite transparent! Here is a better pic of the top (layered again). The great thing about this sort of top is that you can layer a different colour top underneath to get a different vibe. It looks more hard edge with a black top underneath. More romantic with a red or rust coloured top underneath (to my eye anyway). Thanks for the thumbs up on the bumbag! </p>
