I agree that a round collar is very Chanel. It’s not always the best look for me because I am a bit flat chested and long necked and I can end up looking scrawny. But I am looking at one at the moment and thinking about how I can make it work for me.<br /> These are the tweed jackets that I have. The moto jacket style of the first 2, although not exactly fashion forward, seems to work pretty well for my body type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954831 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 22:55:31 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1954831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the teal jacket's color near your face, though outfit wise that one isn't my fave. The cream is so good.</p> <p>Do you have any jacket in a round collar style? that always feels very Chanel to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954826 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 22:25:53 +0000 Brooklyn 1954826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ML, I remember that skirt. It’s great. That’s exactly the sort of thing I have in mind for myself, only I’d like a lighter colour because it’s spring here. Great with a moto jacket for that tweedy/urban mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954823 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 22:19:44 +0000 Mainelady 1954823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was excited to read your post and loved your pictures. I think you carry the theme across your outfits very well. You have inspired me to try some Brooklyn inspired Chanel-esque outfits. I have two tweed jackets and I bought a black tweed asymmetrical skirt from Nordstrom last winter. Those items should work well this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954821 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 22:17:11 +0000 Brooklyn 1954821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, thanks. That’s what I’m trying to do. Evolve my style a little each season in a planned, not too impulsive, way. And in a way that doesn’t involve throwing out my closet and starting again :)</p> <p>Amy Isabella, thanks for your enthusiastic and super flattering comments, as usual </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954749 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 16:54:19 +0000 Amy Isabella 1954749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW - my amazing style icon has done it again! I absolutely LOVE this theme - which of course you've completely nailed. You continue to make it look soooooo effortless, even though there is such a lot of thought behind it. You look FAB in all of these. There is lots to inspire me here - thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954739 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 16:28:51 +0000 lyn67 1954739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so envy how organised you are both in planning and implementing! Each your new monikers (Urban Graphic Chanel) is so well represented in these outfits and I love that you constantly tweak your style but without compromising your very own individuality-so it all looks like some exciting stages on a well defined continuum. Love! </p> <p>Oh, and I feel the same about tweed-such a rich texture+ RATE=&nbsp; will look fab!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954632 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 10:58:33 +0000 Brooklyn 1954632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you! I actually don’t think white or cream is a great colour on me, but I still love it (and black too even though I’d put it in the same category). I think I only have 3 colours that suit me. I wash out so easily. Lucky for me the earth colours are coming back.</p> <p>Thanks Sterling!</p> <p>Thanks Joy. I couldn’t agree more.</p> <p>Thanks for the vote of confidence UF, Janet and CS.</p> <p>MJ, if only I could wear white like you. You set the bar high.</p> <p>Lisa, thanks! The jewellery/Chanel part feels different. I don’t think I’ve ever been interested in tweed before in my entire life! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954629 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 10:44:40 +0000 Brooklyn 1954629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! It’s always so interesting when you post a bunch of looks hearing different peoples favourites. You’d think we’d all tend to agree but we don’t! Proof that style is so subjective.</p> <p>Katerina, Shevia and Jussie, thank you. You are way too kind.</p> <p>Sal, thanks. There will be chevron, floral and stripes! And yes, lots of asymmetric skirts around. Especially floral ones, which I love of course. I haven’t seen the right one in tweed yet. Unless I find it within the next month l’ll put it on the back burner for next year. It will be too warm by November I suspect.</p> <p>Thanks the Cat. The white jacket has been an unexpected winner for me.</p> <p>Smittie, excellent! We can do Chanel together.</p> <p>Rachy, I know what you mean. A few years ago I would have said no to pearls and tweed for that reason. But never say never cos I’m right into it now. Such yummy texture.</p> <p>CL, thanks! I am going a bit equestrian lately with the tall boots. I love the lace up ones soooo much. I think in a month or so it will be too hot for them, so I am wearing them while I can. I must google “Hermes equestrian”. I think I also veer a bit Ralph Lauren at times. All over the shop. This is why I need a theme! Thanks for the suggestion about the white top. I tend to reserve it for wearing with jeans because it’s on the long side. But I’ll try it out and see.</p> <p>Thanks Jenni! Try the jacket! The SA said it had been selling very well. It had small shoulder pads which I took out - partly because I am broad shouldered and partly because shoulder pads bug me in an unlined jacket. The fringed tan bag is Country Road (one or 2 years old now).</p> <p>Greyscale, I bet you would like the IRO versions. I tried a few in the US but couldn’t find the right one. At the right price! The cotton versions are pretty comfortable I think. Feels like a cardigan but looks like a jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954611 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 08:59:59 +0000 Katerina 1954611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Shevia, you are a style superstar.</p> <p>And you had me with the heavy costume jewelry.</p> <p>Gorgeous outfits, just gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954579 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 05:28:33 +0000 Sal 1954579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great looks - the teal is gorgeous, as is the cognac and cream.&nbsp; And I share your love of black too....</p> <p>I can see your wardrobe adapting to this - you have the layering necklaces, you have graphic pieces (will chevron feature?) and some tweed.&nbsp; &nbsp;There are lots of skirts featuring here so I think you will find something asymmetric that you love!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954542 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 02:37:20 +0000 Jaime 1954542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely fabulous! I really like the blue on you and the jacket in the last few is stunning. There are lots of interesting details but we see you first - you are a style superstar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954514 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 23:55:18 +0000 jussie 1954514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Brooklyn! You absolutely nail it every time.... Every. Time. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954498 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 22:51:10 +0000 The Cat 1954498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting reading about the thought process behind your chosen style.</p> <p>My favourite is #8. The white jacket has a lovely shape, looks springy and can easily be styled with many other items too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954487 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 22:11:00 +0000 Anonymous 1954487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a great direction.<br /> I look forward to more tweed.<br /> I am going to dip my toe into tweed this fall too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954459 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 20:57:17 +0000 CocoLion 1954459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You deliver so well on your style moniker/goal. &nbsp;I especially like outfits 1,2 3, 4 and 6 for their inspired adhesion to your style goal. &nbsp;The outfits with the brown (or is it khaki?) jacket and boots seem more Urban Graphic Hermes than Chanel ... but perhaps I just need to equate myself with the equestrian side of Chanel. &nbsp;I love the way the two cream items play together in #8. &nbsp;Have you tried that set with the skirt in #1 as well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954455 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 20:42:34 +0000 Jenni NZ 1954455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the tweed Sportscraft jacket in 4. I saw that in a fashion magazine as well as a shorter trench they have and wondered about trying them. Sportscraft have recently returned to NZ after a long time away and there is a store a few km from here. It looks great on you! Maybe it would be too slim-fit on me, not being slim!<br /> You look awesome Brooklyn and I love the theme and swoon over the tan fringed bag x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954454 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 20:39:07 +0000 Greyscale 1954454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great theme.</p> <p>I have an edgy moto-meets-Chanel tweed jacket from Zara that I never wear. I should try harder. (It's a synthetic blend that makes me sweaty; I've considered cutting out the lining to see if that makes a difference.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954418 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 18:20:46 +0000 rachylou 1954418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! </p> <p>I admit the Chanel part worried me a little. Not because of pretentiousness, but because it’s actually a pretty hard look to do. The Chanel look can be ‘aging’... the way mummy’s high heels look on a 5-yr old... it has to be funked up like they do on the runway... yes! I said it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954407 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 18:10:29 +0000 Angie 1954407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn,</b>&nbsp;YOU ROCK EARTH TONES AND CREAM. Sensational with your complexion. MILK IT while it's on trend. Hands down #7, 8 and 9 are my KILLER faves.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your tweed jackets are lovely. Nothing pretentious about a Chanel-esque vibe. Why not! Loving the chunky necklaces too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954348 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 15:21:36 +0000 Anonymous 1954348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. &nbsp;I love, LOVE, how you do this. &nbsp;There is a stroke of brilliance here that I find so intriguing. &nbsp;And <i>then</i> to see you implement it so successfully is satisfying. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954339 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 14:40:21 +0000 Anonymous 1954339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this and looking forward to your WIWs. The tweeds and other texture are a great idea. I especially like the jackets in #8 and #5. They add lightness without pastel and look great worn casually with jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954337 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 14:19:31 +0000 unfrumped 1954337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your inspirations and theme goals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954328 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 13:39:36 +0000 Janet 1954328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way you are approaching each season with a strategy and a design mission statement!

You're giving me inspiration on how to dress in a work appropriate way yet still keep some RATE edge to it, so thank you for that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954310 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 12:56:03 +0000 Mirjana 1954310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits as usual and interesting<br /> Spring theme. You look fantastic in cognac and white, you know I like white. I especially like #5, #7 and #8, but all are terrific Brooklyn, love them. You are ready for your Spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954302 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 12:45:32 +0000 Anonymous 1954302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look FANTASTIC in cognac - can't get over it. &nbsp;All outfits are terrific, as usual, but i really like 5,8 and 9 - different from what we usually see ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954299 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 12:24:13 +0000 Brooklyn 1954299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bijou. I think it’s working for me. Otherwise I’m all over the shop - drawn to this and that. I do think this theme is broader and more flexible than dark romance but I hope it will still keep me on the straight and narrow.</p> <p>Thanks suntiger! We are both teal fans. I want to add more. Dark teal is the sort of mid range saturated colour that I like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954296 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 12:14:14 +0000 Bijou 1954296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds and looks amazing and very you! I like how you get a theme and then buy and style your existing items with the theme in mind, it really helps to keep your wardrobe cohesive. The trick is to come up with a theme that is broad enough to allow you variety and not so broad that it is ineffective.<br />Chanel is the perfect blend of an iconic look (tweed jacket, pearls and quilted bag immediately comes to mind), done in a modern and fresh way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-graphic-chanel#post-1954295 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 12:01:28 +0000 Anonymous 1954295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all, especially the crocheted skirt and bamboo print top </p>
