I think of it as a classic boho look but I know some people think it is seasonally confused. I tend to feel the heat in my upper body and thighs, not my feet. Thanks for your comments!</p> <p>And thanks <b>JAileen</b> and <b>Shevia</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905906 Mon, 09 Apr 2018 05:12:00 +0000 delurked 1905906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your bold accessories. Of course, that eggplant color in the first two outfits is great. The third outfit is another winner with some real workhorse pieces for you. I, like you, can wear boots a good part of the year. For some reason the heat of them doesn’t bother me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905879 Mon, 09 Apr 2018 03:00:51 +0000 JAileen 1905879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! I love everything - pattern mixing, cap sleeves, the top in 4 especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905870 Mon, 09 Apr 2018 02:29:59 +0000 Jaime 1905870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits blew me away and the close up is stunning! Love how you are using long pendants (my mini-obsession right now). You look beautiful and polished but still relaxed. And I continue to admire your hair of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905864 Mon, 09 Apr 2018 02:04:39 +0000 Brooklyn 1905864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, I agree. I haven't seen any lilac at all. But quite a lot of purple/plum/deep burgundy. I also haven't seen much emerald green, which Angie mentioned as a trend. But last summer there was quite a lot of bottle green (not quite as dark as forest green) around. And now I am seeing some forest green emerging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905863 Mon, 09 Apr 2018 01:49:23 +0000 Sal 1905863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that we sometimes see the trends at the same time as Northern Hemisphere, sometimes earlier, sometimes later, and sometimes they are different entirely!!&nbsp; I used to feel we were six months behind but with our climates and with quick turnaround with the likes of Zara it is quite different.</p> <p>I saw some purples in the weekend in the NZ brand Kowtow - maybe more plum but definitely purple not burgundy....&nbsp; I am yet to see true lilac in a fashion way.&nbsp; I did some shopping in the weekend and red has made a reappearance here for knitwear, trousers etc </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905856 Mon, 09 Apr 2018 00:56:24 +0000 Brooklyn 1905856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Gryffin</b>, it takes lots of practice to be a good shopper I like your expression "elevated basic". That's exactly what I am on the look out for post challenge. Although I am trying not to practice my shopping too much. Thanks for your kind words.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sally</b>, I need to be very tolerant of my boots. Mid-April and it's 33C/91F today, for heaven sakes. (Actually, I lost my tolerance and am back in sandals today.) Love the MTM comparison. Thank you!</p> <p><b>Cardiff girl</b>, thanks! It varies. I don't think we have the same range available as in the northern hemisphere. I am often envious of the wide range of colours I see in US retail. But lots of the big international retailers (Zara, H&amp;M, Topshop, COS, Forever 21 etc) are represented here, so I think we get a lot of same clothing at the same time as the northern hemisphere. And because our climate is warm, lots of lighter weight stuff is still sold here in Autumn/Winter. Some trends I saw emerging here before I saw them on US retail sites (eg dark floral, embellished or floral boots, flounced tops) but some trends that I see emerging in US retail I haven't seen here yet at all (eg lilac).</p> <p><b>Smittie</b>, thanks! My tolerance for boots in warm weather is bang on trend here in endless summer Australia.&nbsp; I think we get sick of wearing the same old stuff at the end of the season and are keen for a change.</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, thanks! It's funny that you say the jacket outfit is a little retro. I had a very similar jacket (same shawl collar) in the 90s. I loved it. That was part of the attraction.</p> <p>And thanks <b>the Cat</b>, <b>efgben</b>, <b>Jessikams</b>, <b>Rachy</b>, <b>Aurore</b> and <b>Jussie</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905823 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 22:39:54 +0000 gryffin 1905823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn - you always look fantastic!!&nbsp; I love all the outfits.&nbsp; The new necklace is wonderful.&nbsp; A great long pendant just elevates any outfit.&nbsp; I am really crushing on the white sweater with black stripe.&nbsp; It's the perfect elevated basic.&nbsp; I never find great stuff like that!&nbsp; You are such an amazing shopper.&nbsp; Also love the new top.&nbsp; All fantastic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905807 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 22:01:05 +0000 Sal 1905807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so tolerant and accepting of your boots Brooklyn!!</p> <p>These are all great and I like your tops - they are interesting alone but also worked with a blazer over the top (something I need to look for myself).</p> <p>My favourite is the jeans, blazer and new necklace but I have a fondness for the A line too.&nbsp; It is a bit "Mary Tyler Moore" - who I love by the way!!</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.google.co.nz/search?biw=1396&amp;bih=646&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=1&amp;ei=fZDKWpLrE9KM8gW59on4Aw&amp;q=mary+tyler+moore+skirt&amp;oq=mary+tyler+moore+skirt&amp;gs_l=psy-ab.3...2340.3029.0.3512.6.6.0.0.0.0.318.532.2-1j1.2.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..4.1.213...0j0i67k1.0.wCThoQ2LGk4">https://www.google.co.nz/searc.....E9KM8gW59o</a></p> <p>Dinner out sounds wonderful and you look terrific too.&nbsp; I am liking your colour palette a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905768 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 20:18:09 +0000 The Cat 1905768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a nice collection of simple but chic tops!

I especially love #1 : I love how the details on the shoulders, the bracelet and the necklace echo each other, and that you included a pattern on an unexpected item (the boots). And I agree with previous commenters : burgundy looks fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905671 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 16:12:12 +0000 Cardiff girl 1905671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The burgundy is lovely on you and I love the stripy skirt and top ensemble.It s really weird seeing you prepare for Autumn whilst here we are going into spring but I guess you must feel like that about all the spring talk this end.Do you think fashions in the southern Hemisphere follow or lead the Northern Hemisphere or is it quite separate? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905645 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 14:18:38 +0000 Anonymous 1905645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your new boots and bold accessories. I hope you can wear the cross-body/tall boots look with your midi skirt as well.</p> <p>That is funny about the tolerance for boots in warm weather. I was just going to bring up the fact that there is an equivalent here in Canada : high tolerance for bare ankles and sneakers in sub-zero temperatures, especially in spring time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905636 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 13:49:37 +0000 Angie 1905636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look GORGEOUS, and transition beautifully, <b>Brooklyn</b>. #8 is a sublime pic. LOVE.</p> <p>#3 is my KILLER best. I love the cream under the burgundy with the gold medallion. Fresh, modern, a little retro, and chic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905604 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 12:11:59 +0000 jussie 1905604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits :). You’ve seamlessly (haha pardon the pun) transitioned into your autumn wardrobe. I especially like the floral boots. And your solid tops really are quite interesting. Lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905600 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 12:04:02 +0000 Brooklyn 1905600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ledonna! It’s a skirt and top. Black and white but because of the fine pattern it reads a little grey. I have to be careful of that because grey is not my best colour (although I like it). I tried to warm it up with the tan accessories.</p> <p>Thanks Jenni! Yes, we are sympatico! There is a circle buckle on the bag too. He he.</p> <p>Thanks Bijou! DH does need some heavy hinting in the gift department but he is a quick study. He has become an adroit Etsy shopper.</p> <p>Thanks Katerina! I am a necklace gal. I love them the way you love scarves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905578 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:36:38 +0000 Ledonna N. 1905578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style is very casual Chic to me I love it the pictures that I love are your black and white dress or is that gray. Picture number 5. And I love all of you jewelry those necklaces are the truth </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905576 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:30:42 +0000 Bijou 1905576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, you have an absolute gift for pattern mixing. All of these outfits and stunning and I can't pick a favourite, but outfit #2, with the striped skirt and chevron top is really inspired! &nbsp;</p> <p>Your necklace collection is to die for, the vintage Chanel necklace could not have found a better home. DH obviously has exceptional taste (as evidenced by his jewellery find, beautiful wife and doggie). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905575 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:25:16 +0000 Jenni NZ 1905575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All SO amazing! You know what I love most in pic 2: circles echoed in so many places. The beautiful necklace, the shoulder detail circle studs, the bracelet, and one of your rings. Lovely colours too and good to see your floral boots again, there are several similar Gamins ones on Styletread ATM. I haven't put them on my Wishlist because must control my impulses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905574 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:22:12 +0000 Katerina 1905574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! Brooklyn, your early autumn style is as exquisite as your summer style. I love each one of these outfits, I couldn’t stop looking at them. The deep burgundy is gorgeous on you. Your necklaces and, most of all the way you incorporate them them into your outfits, are perfect. You have a fantastic wardrobe and you are super stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitioning-to-autumn#post-1905571 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 08:46:24 +0000 Brooklyn 1905571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all</p> <p>It is still pretty warm here, but I’ve broken out my boots in any case. I have decided that I have a high tolerance for boots in warm weather (new YLF expression). Actually, a high tolerance for boots in any weather.</p> <p>Outfits 1 and 2 were taken over Easter while visiting friends.</p> <p>Outfit 1: casual lunch. New necklace and top. After the 30 x 30 challenge I said I needed more interesting solid coloured tops (and NOT patterned tops). I liked this top because of the colour and shoulder detail. The jeans are straight leg jeans. </p> <p>Outfit 2: casual dinner. New blazer (I am right into the blazer + jeans formula for this Autumn.) The necklace is vintage Chanel (a gift from DH).</p> <p>Outfit 3: work. This is my favourite work silhouette in Autumn - A-line skirt with boots. I like the way the skirt lets me stride out, especially with the hands free cross body bag and flat boots. It’s very liberating. Plus it’s a bit 70s. I am wearing my older DVF bag with my newer RM detachable guitar strap. The tan boots are new (to supplement and eventually replace my taupe pair). They are a little loose around my calves but close enough I think. They were only $80, so I could afford alterations if necessary. My husband really likes this outfit so I have worn it a few times already this Autumn. The second pic shows an earlier version. Squares, stripes and circles!</p> <p>Outfit 4: dinner for a friend’s birthday. The top has a fine black stripe, which means that there is a triple pattern mix with the floral skirt and colour block bag. You can’t really see the colour of the top in the home pic, so I included an edited photo from the venue. We sat outside next to the harbour and had a magic night. </p>
