Maybe the perforation helps? Maybe the open toe? I do sometimes get hot wearing sneakers in summer but I haven’t had any issues with these. And thanks for your comments and encouragement. It’s been interesting taking outfit photos more often. It has kind of prompted me to change up my accessories, bags and shoes more frequently. So I think the challenge has actually made me repeat less rather than more.</p> <p>And thanks Mainelady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1892051 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 15:55:24 +0000 Elizabeth P 1892051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, you really do have an amazing style.&nbsp; Proportion, accessories... always just right. It's been a treat seeing more than one outfit posted at once as well, to get a better sense of your style.&nbsp; I'm so glad you did this challenge!&nbsp; OK, I'll stop now.&nbsp; Just keep posting, okay? :)</p> <p>Question... do you not find "shooties" hot?&nbsp; I tend not to wear mine in the heat of the summer, and look for something more strappy, to get more air flow.&nbsp;&nbsp; Yet I'm sure your summers are far hotter than mine!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891972 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 10:56:32 +0000 Mainelady 1891972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, as always! Every outfit looks beautiful on you. Your accessories, bags and shoes polish off each outfit. My faves are #1 and #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891963 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 10:03:26 +0000 Brooklyn 1891963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Katerina! That is such a lovely thing to say. I really enjoy your posts too. Can’t wait to see your summer style. </p> <p>As I said to Jenn, I think the shooties are a great “summer boot”. Good luck finding your pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891941 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 08:25:41 +0000 Katerina 1891941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, these are all amazing, as always! I studied each picture determined to find a favorite or two - it is impossible. You have nailed every outfit, they are all pure perfection. As I said before - you are one of the most stylish people I have ever seen. I could go on and on about how much I like each outfit.</p> <p>What I would like to lemming is your shooties - it is a great idea for summer skirts and the long scarf with the sleeveless top - gorgeous. I would lemming your necklaces in outfit 6 too, but unfortunately it does not work on my busty frame :-)</p> <p>Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous outfits, it has been such an inspiration and a lesson in style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891930 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 06:22:02 +0000 Brooklyn 1891930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, each of mine has a block heel of around 5 to 6 cm. I find that quite tolerable, although I wouldn’t try to run a marathon in them. But I also think this is a style that looks good with a quite low (one inch) heel. So I think it would be worth keeping an eye out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891926 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 05:38:10 +0000 Jenn 1891926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that first pair, and the heels look more reasonable than I had feared. Might have to do some retail research. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891914 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 04:36:57 +0000 Brooklyn 1891914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, thanks. I like the peep toe booties as a summer alternative to boots. I would wear boots all year if I could. I quite like having my foot mostly covered and the high shaft. Works well with skirts and cropped jeans. I also much prefer this from a comfort perspective to strappy sandals. I am really enjoying the perforated pair in outfit 1 and have recently ordered a similar pair from anthro in silver-grey (first find) because I don’t have anything in this colour way. I already have taupe and tan. I should be able to wear them for around another 2 months, so they work well for my climate.</p> <p>Thanks jlpp! That’s the vibe I am going for, so that’s good news.</p> <p>And thanks Sally, Rachy, Dana, Shevia and Aquamarine! Off the charts, Dana! How cool is it that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891888 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 02:42:25 +0000 Sal 1891888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing group of outfits!!&nbsp; &nbsp;I always say that or something similar.</p> <p>1 is gorgeous and I may well copy this in my own way.....&nbsp; But I love your flared pants and fierce jewelry equally.</p> <p>The floral pencil skirt is a great piece on you too - and the wavy hair is fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891885 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 02:37:24 +0000 Jenn 1891885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in all of these. #1 is my favorite, but your legs look a million miles long in the pants outfit. </p> <p>I like your tricks to beat the heat, and I’m loving your peep-toe booties. Do you find they work well for you in the heat? I kind of want a pair, but can’t figure out the right weather conditions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891884 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 02:37:04 +0000 rachylou 1891884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good! My fave is 9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891867 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 01:54:34 +0000 Dana 1891867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Girl, your style is off the charts! Makes me want to come to Australia to shop! I can't pick a favorite outfit-they're all amazing. And you really nail it when it comes to the perfect outfit for your occasion!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891854 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 01:24:12 +0000 Jaime 1891854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving all your skirt outfits and then #6 blew me away with the silhouette change. And how can I not mention (again) your gorgeous hair ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891809 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 23:23:46 +0000 Anonymous 1891809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the most amazing urban chic with a slight boho edge vibe. You always look so well styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891794 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 23:00:19 +0000 Aquamarine 1891794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super all around. I can’t pick a favorite. Love the bold jewelry, especially. You have a great closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891776 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 22:39:29 +0000 Brooklyn 1891776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks JA and tanstaafl! I think the “use shoes to bookend your hair” is something I learned from Angie But I also like the way lighter shoes lift an otherwise dark outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891772 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 22:35:54 +0000 Brooklyn 1891772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks MsLuna!</p> <p>Thanks Suz. The floral asymmetrical midi is from Sportscraft (Australian retailer). The black Anne D asymmetrical midi came from Yoox. Yoox is hard to search but I just stumbled across this one as a “last available item”. Yoox often has bargains on last available items. I am seeing more asymmetrical skirts coming out here for Autumn, so I am sure you will find one.</p> <p>Thanks MJ! </p> <p>Thanks Angie! And for the K2K! I actually wear flats a lot with skirts in summer but tend to wear that look more casually. I think it’s one way in which I try to change up my look between work and casual because there is so much crossover in summer between my work and casual wear. And it can be a bit of a downer if a weekend outfit feels too much like a work outfit.</p> <p>Thanks Lyn! The challenge has encouraged me to do a jewellery stocktake and I have pulled out a lot of pieces that I haven’t been wearing lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891770 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 22:34:56 +0000 tanstaafl 1891770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing use of accessories. I also love the cognac booties/belt with the black. I always default to black footwear and belts with my black outfits, it’s nice to see an example of how to use other colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891761 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 22:21:10 +0000 JAileen 1891761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really really fab! I love outfit #5, the pants outfit. I also love how you accessorized #1, the black dress, with items more or less the color of your hair. You have some really great jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891546 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 15:52:08 +0000 MsLuna 1891546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all your outfits! I also love the creative accessorizing. My fave are the palazzo pants outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891544 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 15:48:34 +0000 Suz 1891544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, you have amazing style! These are gorgeous outfits. I don't know which I love most! I am in envy of both those asymmetrical skirts. I'm in search of something new to freshen up my tube skirts this year...where did you find these, again? I would like to add one if I can.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also adore the floral pencil skirt -- stunning.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LOVE </b>the 90s palazzo and vest look with the jewellery. You have a fantastic collection and you are such an inspiration for dressing well in hot weather.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891541 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 15:39:46 +0000 Mirjana 1891541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW,WOW,   all those outfits are perfect and as always I am impressed with your style, elegant and with gorgeous accessories , I like them so much. My favorite is #1 with cognac accent. The next one is #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891529 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 15:16:30 +0000 Angie 1891529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER ALL ROUND, <b>Brooklyn.</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>How fun to see you in flats in #11. That's the trendy look going forward.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE the way you liven up your black items with skin and adornment. It makes a huge visual difference to my eye.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 is KILLER to the Power of KILLER. Perfect cognac bookending. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891489 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 12:53:03 +0000 lyn67 1891489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As usual they are&nbsp; all gorgeous-and will come back to better analysing but&nbsp; I now clearly see one has to INVEST&nbsp; in some gorgeous statement accessories (like yours) they really all count! Thanx for posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891478 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 11:48:42 +0000 Brooklyn 1891478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aurore, you are ahead of me! I haven’t caught Glitch yet, but I really like the actor who stars in it, Patrick Brammall. He is in a comedy here called a Moody Christmas, which I like very much. I will have to catch up. There are so many good TV shows around now I find it hard to keep up. </p> <p>Sterling, you are such a confidence booster. Thank you! I will give a full challenge report next post. I am glad that I participated. I have learned a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891468 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 10:38:24 +0000 Aurore 1891468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn </b>yes, I think the jewelry, your hair contribute to this impression! Re-the Miss Fisher show : it was broadcast&nbsp;on one of the main French channels a few years ago, and now it's available as video-on-demand.&nbsp;We have access to few Aussie shows but as of now all the ones we watched were great (Miss Fisher, Glitch, Nowhere Boys). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891466 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 10:01:32 +0000 Anonymous 1891466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection!!!!!!!! &nbsp;<b>Brooklyn </b>-- I have always enjoyed your style, but having the opportunity to see it in a cohesive package has been a treat for me. &nbsp;Your style is perfectly formed and definitely a signature. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891459 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 09:05:10 +0000 Brooklyn 1891459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aurore, I am very impressed that you have seen that Aussie show! Maybe the jewellery is a bit 1920s? Angie says my hair when curly is a bit 1920s too. And thank you so much for the comparison, because Miss Fisher is very glam!</p> <p>Thanks Jussie, you are always so positive </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891453 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 08:41:04 +0000 Aurore 1891453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All those outfits are perfect in terms of proportions and accessories. <br />My favourites is #5, with the waistcoat and wide-leg trousers : so elegant! For some reason, it makes me think of some of Essie Davis' outfits in <i>Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries</i>.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-30x30-5#post-1891447 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 08:01:41 +0000 jussie 1891447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow each one is perfection </p>
