And here I was thinking it was silver. These are all winners, and the plaid pants with the coat and the bag is a delightful combination, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-fiveand-a-few-reflections#post-2348099 Fri, 29 Dec 2023 02:30:11 +0000 Jaime 2348099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of these, but must pay special attention to the DvN bottoms. The fact that they are old make them better! More high quality - they have survived this long. More trend proof - as you say you get compliments all the time on these. More sustainable - they are second hand. More unique - unlikely anyone else in your world has them. I could go on (but don't worry won't ) . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-fiveand-a-few-reflections#post-2348084 Fri, 29 Dec 2023 01:35:36 +0000 Carla 2348084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are beautiful items and I can see why they are in your ‘top 5’.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-fiveand-a-few-reflections#post-2348081 Fri, 29 Dec 2023 01:22:11 +0000 Suz 2348081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've enjoyed all the summaries popping up about favourite purchases. I bought so much this year that it's hard to restrain myself to five top picks, but here's my attempt along with some reflections.&nbsp;</p> <p>1. The Cole Haan knit oxford. These immediately took the place of the white sneakers that decidedly did <b>not</b> work out. (sigh) And a more comfortable flat I have never owned. Lucky for me, they wash up beautifully in the washing machine (!) and are still in great shape after a summer's worth of heavy wear. They look great with almost everything. They are lightweight for travel, they work on my bike. They don't have the flatform/ platform I actually wanted so I could wear my full length wide legs with them, but that's ok; I have other footwear for that purpose. I love them so much that I duplicated at a sale price so I have a pair in reserve.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. The Zara asymmetrical knit skirt. Easy to wear, adds a bit of interest to what is, for me, an essential.&nbsp;</p> <p>3. Dries van Noten plaid trousers. Bought on consignment. They may come from a collection that's a decade old, but for me, they are new and fun! They were an instant summer workhorse, could be dressed up or down, did not show wrinkles. I always get compliments when I wear them.&nbsp;</p> <p>4. Bernardo coat. A HEWI for me, and I got it at a steal price.&nbsp;</p> <p>5. Paige wide leg A line jeans. Full length on me and I love the drama.</p> <p>Adding another item -- the Furla satchel -- an extremely generous gift.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; I gave up on my quest to find bags with silver hardware. It just became impossible. But beginning with this beauty, I seem to be adapting to the gold hardware as long as it is restrained.&nbsp;</p> <p>Of course, all of these except the shoes are blue! And the picks are "bottoms" dominant. That makes sense in light of <b>Angie's</b> pronouncement about my style being "trendy on the bottom." I was way overdue for a significant reset in this area and it has paid off in wardrobe satisfaction, big time. More on that in another post.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
