I am being very selective on what dresses I buy this season because this one in / one out policy is making me have to give up something - which is good as I really have to think about what needs replacing or updating rather than just buying something because I like it.</p> <p><b>Style Fan</b> - Kim Novak is a style inspiration for me - so thank you so very much for the comparison. I love that classic style of dress of Hitchcock movies.</p> <p><b>Cee</b> - you make me laugh - thanks!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me/page/2#post-2055653 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 03:18:18 +0000 Cee 2055653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's " Superstar drops the mic' " cool, Bijou </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me/page/2#post-2055615 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 23:37:45 +0000 Style Fan 2055615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought of Kim Novak when I looked at the pictures.&nbsp; Just Wow!&nbsp; The white suit is so great.&nbsp; Movie Star glam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me/page/2#post-2055611 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 23:30:15 +0000 Anonymous 2055611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything is fantastic but the dresses knock me out. I also love your weekend outfit, the cowboy boots &amp; fur with that dress is so funky in a great way. Original &amp; zesty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me/page/2#post-2055514 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 15:16:06 +0000 christy 2055514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, I can relate on dressing for work in a male dominated profession. Your style rocks - professional and fashionable. Not always an easy balance to achieve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me/page/2#post-2055467 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 10:14:03 +0000 Bijou 2055467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suntiger </b>- lots of sparkly things in my wardrobe for you to carry off!</p> <p><b>Cindysmith</b> - As a female working in a male dominated field I don't want to dress like the men, but I also want to look like I can hold my own and not get pushed around. Your comment is greatly appreciated.</p> <p><b>Jane</b> - I think we would have a blast working together. Yes my colourful wardrobe does get noticed at work. As one of the senior females in my office, I think it is nice to pave the way for younger girls to express their personality in how they dress.</p> <p><b>Lyn67</b> - the cream suit is lovely and I think I can wear any footwear with it. My cream boots are an easy match and a nod to mod style, a look I love. I will probably wear the black and red suit in Singapore with black heels. However, I will take a couple of outfits and decide on the day. I may feel more confident in the plaid dress, because dresses are really my thing.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me/page/2#post-2055455 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 08:15:35 +0000 lyn67 2055455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All your looks are glamorously-exciting-and YLF in them all-of course!:-) The cream suit is indeed a power suit- curious what shoes will you wear with for the conference in Singapore!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me/page/2#post-2055446 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 06:39:23 +0000 Jane 2055446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your colours! It seems so Australian to me. I think if we worked in the same office I would be really influenced to stretch my colour palate towards yours! I would think you must be thought of as very stylish in your office - I sincerely hope so!&nbsp;</p> <p>That power suit is amazing! Such a beautiful cut and the colour of the red is gorgeous on you.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me/page/2#post-2055161 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 12:00:18 +0000 cindysmith 2055161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Girl, you look like a power player in all of these &lt;3<br /> Also, you look so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me/page/2#post-2054948 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 14:47:11 +0000 Anonymous 2054948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*carries off hypothetical sparkly thing* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me/page/2#post-2054929 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 14:06:09 +0000 Bijou 2054929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Rachy </b>- I have found the longer pencil dresses feeling fresher to me too. With a cropped jacket they really elongate the legs.</p> <p><b>Firecracker </b>- the plaid dress is a favourite for me too. I never buy dry clean only dresses, but for this one, I made a very rare exception because I liked that much.</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - so pleased the Power Suit is a favourite. The fabric and construction are just beautiful.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Janet</b> - thanks for saying that I look professional. In my line of work I wear much more colour than most (black, grey and navy are the unofficial uniform of accountants) - so I don't want to push things too far.</p> <p><b>Jenni </b>- You have a good eye! The cropped KM jacket is probably going to be the most worn item - as I have worn it 3 times since getting it 2 weeks ago. The jacket was on sale from winter stock and I thought given it was about 50% off, it was worth a try (ordering online). It arrived all rumpled and I was a bit unimpressed, but since giving it an iron, and wearing it I absolutely love it.</p> <p><b>Sal </b>- I know you have had a really hard time lately and winter weather does not help. Spring is just around the corner, our days are getting longer and the temps are already warmer than they were.</p> <p><b>Kathie</b> - the formality of my work place actually helps in honing my work style. I actually like the constraints that it places on what I can wear.</p> <p><b>Suntiger -</b> thank you, I need to get something sparkly so you can carry it off!</p> <p><b>Shevia</b> - YLF has helped me a lot to embrace a signature style. I find others WIWs really useful. Real women and what they actually wear as opposed to the fantasy of a magazine.</p> <p><b>Runcarla </b>- I seem to have a bit of a peplum and cropped jacket thing happening at the moment. At least the Power Suit has a longer line to mix things up. I really like the spit hem on the pants too - a nice touch and helps show off nice shoes.</p> <p><b>Fashintern </b>- I always have a bit of a hard time knowing what to call these posts. Glad that you did not think my style needed a complete makeover.</p> <p><b>Mainlady </b>- I have always aspired to be like the ladies in Absolutely Fabulous! For me, Patsy has been a complete style icon.</p> <p><b>Brooklyn </b>- I like Spring and Summer clothing because the lighter colours really work for me.&nbsp; I had a white jacket last summer and it got stained from a black dress - only on the inside, so I can still wear it - but at least I have two nice pristine white jackets.</p> <p><b>Suz </b>- ah the dresses, I just love wearing dresses. Getting myself to buy some trousers has been quite the challenge when there are such lovely dresses to tempt me!</p> <p><b>TG </b>- I wear ankle boots with everything as for me they are the most comfortable footwear other than trainers. I think ankle boots is pretty much a key part to my signature style and so I am thrilled that you think they keep the classic dresses looking fresh.</p> <p><b>Gryffin</b> - thank you so much - being compared to Kim Novak is just wow!</p> <p><b>Windchime </b>- Thank you and I am glad that you like the return to a more streamlined dressing approach for me. The boho is fun in small doses. I like dressy boho if that is such a thing.</p> <p><b>Tammyb</b> - a good white suit just feels so fresh at the end of winter. Of course, I don't have Angie's amazing keeping clean ability, so I have to be quite careful about what I eat when wearing this suit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054887 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 12:01:55 +0000 Tammyb 2054887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic looks! I especially like the peplum suit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054881 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 11:57:21 +0000 Windchime 2054881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What everyone else has already said! The red top looks smashing on you! Everything is a big winner and aligns with your desire to return to classic shapes and streamlined, tailored pieces. I love the Boho elements you’ve managed to also incorporate. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054878 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 11:51:38 +0000 gryffin 2054878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou - in a word "breath taking!"&nbsp; You are soooo glamorous!&nbsp; Very Kim Novak, feminine, powerful, elegant!&nbsp; Wow!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054872 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 11:40:12 +0000 Helena 2054872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So beautiful Bijou! Love all of these, especially #3! I like how you've used unexpected combos (e.g. ankle boots with the uber-ladylike peplums) which keeps these classic pieces looking modern and fresh.</p> <p>I find every few seasons, a real refresh is in order - I think this is part of evolving one's style! Enjoy wearing everything </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054870 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 11:17:26 +0000 Suz 2054870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous update! You look like a movie star more than ever! I think it is a great idea to buy quite a few items in one go--you know then they will work together and present a cohesive overall "look" for you to build on. Brava!&nbsp;</p> <p>These are all so "you" that no wonder you felt tempted. Retail therapy it might have been but it was emotionally intelligent retail therapy. A peplum vest? A white peplum suit? Score!&nbsp;</p> <p>My absolutely favourites are the dresses -- both are spectacular on you. And the power suit will do just what you hope. So interesting with the slits in the trousers and the colour blocking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054859 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 10:38:13 +0000 Brooklyn 2054859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super glam. You are hitting your stride for S/S. My faves are the dresses in 3 and 5. And I agree the white peplum jacket will be so useful, not just with the white skirt. Everything works and is so you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054858 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 10:31:47 +0000 Mainelady 2054858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, now these outfits showcase your pure gorgeous glamour. You may consider this a larger refresh than usual, but I think every single piece really belongs in your closet and is well worth the space. I am having trouble choosing a favorite. Good news, I don’t have to! I love them all. Fabulous, absolutely fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054850 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 08:03:36 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2054850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The title had me worried you'd dumped your old look. Glad to see plenty of your familiar look in the new items. Love that plaid dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054834 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 03:09:28 +0000 Carla 2054834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting to see themes emerging: impeccable tailoring, peplums, waist definition, white. The split hem trousers slay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054826 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 02:27:38 +0000 Jaime 2054826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these! Agree with suntiger's movie star glam with the addition of fun and playful touches (hi Olive Oyl!) altogether creates a unique style that suits you beautifully.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054814 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 00:20:27 +0000 Anonymous 2054814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Movie star glam for sure! Wow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054810 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 23:42:54 +0000 rachylou 2054810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m back to say I’m really into pencil skirted dresses. Seeing you model yours here, I’ve realised something: I need to look for longer ones. That’s why I haven’t been quite satisfied. A slightly longer length is key to the proper effect (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054798 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 21:34:27 +0000 Kathie 2054798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the leopard dress and power suit! You have such a well-honed style, and especially for your work wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054789 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 20:33:43 +0000 Sal 2054789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous additions! I love the white suit and the leopard dress in particular - just stunning on you. I also think the power suit is fantastic. They will be brilliant work additions.</p> <p>I have also been feeling a shopping urge lately and have indulged as well. I find August the most challenging month of the year. Usually wet and miserable- this year is no exception. And in need of cheering myself up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054772 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 19:28:26 +0000 Jenni NZ 2054772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely movie star glamour! All amazing. Retail therapy understandable in the circs and Team Wear means they will all be used. My favourite item is the cropped Karen Millen white jacket. The power suit will be wow for the seminar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054741 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 16:07:15 +0000 Janet 2054741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glam yet professional!

They are all such great finds for you. Your analysis of how they fit into your wardrobe is well thought out, and I'm happy for you that you have found some items that have been on your list for a while. Each outfit is just stunning, but I will have to say the plaid dress about made me faint! I love it with the jacket, and the scarf is super fun with it. <br /></div><div>I'm with you in preferring the early sales versus the end of season sales!</div><div>Would you wear your white booties with the new white suit?<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-season-new-me#post-2054719 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 15:01:47 +0000 rachylou 2054719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the pencil dresses! </p>
