I just cannot explain myself the reason???<br />Love your new&nbsp; aditions and you reminded me I have one chore and one&nbsp; military jacket from several years ago---they will see some light again! It's so hard to pay attention not buying for an older style prefferance---AND/OR not going overboard the new one!:-)<br />Will follow your threads with great interest (as always)!:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe/page/2#post-2264931 Sat, 28 May 2022 09:13:02 +0000 Bijou 2264931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>The Cat</b> - I was very lucky to find a bag that looked so much like Margot. I always enjoy wearing it.</p> <p><b>BlueJay</b> - I think I am a bit of a uniform dresser. When the weather permits, I am often wearing a dress with boots.</p> <p><b>ChristelJ</b> - thank you - what a lovely compliment. I do try to keep a certain light hearted element to how I dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe/page/2#post-2264747 Fri, 27 May 2022 15:09:33 +0000 ChristelJ 2264747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just so cool how you always express yourself in a beautiful, elegant and light-hearted way. That anorak is just terrific on you, as is every other item. Looking forward to seeing whatever you do next in your more casual lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe/page/2#post-2264745 Fri, 27 May 2022 14:34:28 +0000 BlueJay 2264745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit Bijou! I love your scarf. Margot is so cute.</p> <p>I, too, am dressing for myself more now that I've been working from home for over two years. I never felt pressured to dress a certain way at work, but I think I was forcing my outfits to try to be unique, or different, all the time. Now, I don't think I will mind so much to repeat outfits, or have a uniform of sorts. Trying to keep things simpler. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe/page/2#post-2264710 Fri, 27 May 2022 10:03:08 +0000 The Cat 2264710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these items look perfect for you.

As I have plenty of clothing to wear, it will be a gradual transition. It is nice to have a few pieces like this anorak and my denim jackets to help guide me to where I want to get to.</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - Me too! I love my Radley pieces and keep an eye out for their pieces that feature a little white terrier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe/page/2#post-2264639 Thu, 26 May 2022 16:28:13 +0000 Angie 2264639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!

The embroidery really makes it a piece with your name on it. I will be excited to follow your transition to more casual style. You always have a level of polish about you, and this anorak is a good example of how you maintain that quintessential Bijou look while going more casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe/page/2#post-2264632 Thu, 26 May 2022 14:47:11 +0000 Bijou 2264632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie that is beautiful and elegant, perfect for you.

I feel like I am finding my way to retaining my style preferences and being practical.

I do need to find items that work for me, both aesthetically and practically. This anorak is a good example of a practical and pretty item.</p> <p><b>Suz</b> - you and Angie have really helped me realise where my style direction needs to head. Items that are inherently casual (to offset my dressy items that I own), but that also have a pretty and glam feature. I am sure a field jacket would be a good addition to my wardrobe too - I just need to be patient and find the right one.</p> <p><b>Lana</b> - I could see you in this anorak, as it has lilac in the embroidery!</p> <p><b>Robin</b> - I was very lucky to find the coat.</p> <p><b>Cat2</b> - you have expressed the issue perfectly "</p> <p><i>I try to figure out what works for casual, but is still my style</i>". Which is difficult when you have a preference for dressy clothes but a casual lifestyle. I am learning a lot from other forum members who also have a casual lifestyle and enviable style.</p> <p><b>Style Fan</b> - I am glad you like these as you are one of those people who I always think looks amazing and has a well curated and practical wardrobe.</p> <p><b>Chiara</b> - I was thrilled when I opened up the box for the anorak, it really is a beautiful piece.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe#post-2264529 Wed, 25 May 2022 20:12:01 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 2264529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oohh, the anorak is beautiful.<br /> Great outfit, very col and put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe#post-2264514 Wed, 25 May 2022 17:45:56 +0000 Style Fan 2264514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your dressy is my casual.

It’s been a bit of an expensive experiment where I try to figure out what works for casual, but is still my style. However, things are falling into place a bit more each season. I have a beaded chore jacket…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe#post-2264500 Wed, 25 May 2022 16:25:11 +0000 RobinF 2264500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful coat!

Brilliant way to transition to more casual!&nbsp;</p> <p>I will say that for my casual lifestyle, my field jacket has proved a complete and total workhorse and I am contemplating more anoraks with similar styling but in different weights.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the skirt, too, and the combat boots, and the way you are maintaining your light palette.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe#post-2264475 Wed, 25 May 2022 14:08:34 +0000 Angie 2264475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER FAB.</p> <p>If ever there was a perfectly pretty and maximal anorak for you <b>Bijou</b> - this is it!

Your “casual” style would be dressed up for me. But I love that you keep your sophisticated flair in a more dressed-down way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe#post-2264469 Wed, 25 May 2022 13:02:19 +0000 Carla 2264469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great score! &nbsp;Like Jenni, I appreciate a piece with beautiful embroidery. &nbsp;Your silhouette is right on trend with what I’ve been seeing on the Vogue street style threads from the fashion weeks. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe#post-2264468 Wed, 25 May 2022 12:54:59 +0000 Bijou 2264468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy - Margot is definitely precious. She is snoozing on the couch next to me after a big day.</p> <p>Star - I love lemon and was thrilled to find this sweater as with all the earth tones at retail, lemon has been hard to find. Unfortunately, mustard yellow makes me look jaundiced.</p> <p>Zaeobi - it’s so nice to find an item that gets the balance right between being practical and something that I enjoy wearing. </p> <p>Brooklyn - yes Yoox has some amazing finds and discounts. I liked your Cue picks. I am finding that much of their clothing is too dressy or similar to what I own, so I have bought far less from Cue over the last two years. </p> <p>Mainlady - yes the freedom to dress to please myself is definitely a bonus. I just need to embrace the journey rather than rush to get it all worked out immediately.</p> <p>UmmLila - I was so lucky to get both Margot (a retired breeding Westie) and the bag. We have now had Margot for 4 years and she has embraced her life of luxury. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-a-more-casual-wardrobe#post-2264467 Wed, 25 May 2022 12:44:47 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2264467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous coat, and I know even with the work from home, you're never really going to lose your love for beautiful pieces that express your personality.

It is challenging but freeing too. </p> <p>You look lovely. The coat is awesome. What a great find! I love YOOX. And yay for Cue. I am eyeing a few things in their sale… </p>
