Beau Coops are so well made. My “famous” ( only on YLF) cobalt boots are Beau Coops with so far 98 wears and going into their 5th winter. They are looking a bit scuffed.<br /> I buy Ezibuy sometimes too. I check the reviews quite carefully as quality can vary. Hopefully these won’t date so that you eventually get good wear from them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110533 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 21:51:06 +0000 Anonymous 2110533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like great additions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110531 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 21:49:12 +0000 Sal 2110531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie.&nbsp; The shoes will be perfect for work conferences and meetings in the future.&nbsp; They cross the practical/pretty divide really well.</p> <p>Thanks Jenn- it feels like a lot of shopping in a time of crisis but that is just how it happened.&nbsp; The jacket is a bit of a wildcard but it ticked enough boxes for me to give it a try.</p> <p>Thanks Stylefan.&nbsp; Appreciate your kind and wise words :)</p> <p>Thanks Helena and Anne.&nbsp; I am happy with them all right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110473 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 18:05:03 +0000 Angie 2110473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous shoes, <b>Sal</b>! <b></b>They don't need to be workhorses. They can come out once in a while and feel special. Will not date, as you mentioned. All good.&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE the pale pink pullover. Pretty with your complexion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110448 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 16:21:20 +0000 Jenn 2110448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore all these items, Sal. The wine cardigan will be especially useful for working at home, and it's going to feel great to slip on that jacket in the office a few months from now. I bet it will look fab with both the striped tee &nbsp;(which is such a great color combo!) and the pink sweater. Actually, I'd love to see it with long sleeves underneath when things calm down enough for you to do an outfit lab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110399 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 14:22:03 +0000 Style Fan 2110399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces, Sally.&nbsp; Your new purchases look like they will all work together and also they look comfy.&nbsp; So important right now.&nbsp; I find it a mood booster to read other forum members' posts.&nbsp; So important right now.&nbsp; Not much shopping happening here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110362 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 12:17:30 +0000 anne 2110362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shoes and pink jumper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110360 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 12:12:29 +0000 Helena 2110360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful pieces and they all will stand the test of time I'd say ... So they will have their day in the sun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110339 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 08:56:34 +0000 Sal 2110339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy - the cardigan has been worn a lot. It is very practical!!</p> <p>Yes Carol - we both planned ahead this year. And will get a chance to take advantage later. I am a moderate shopper - but this year I decided to upgrade practical pieces rather than the thrifting and impulse shopping I did last year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110337 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 08:53:48 +0000 Sal 2110337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanhs Notsaf. Yes I am delighted to have these pieces and if I add nothing else for winter I am well set up!</p> <p>Haha Brooklyn - thank you! I sometimes feel like more of a clumsy moth floundering in the dark. Looking forward to that.</p> <p>Thanks Slimcat. I have tried to have more light warm colours. It does mean things will work together. I would love to add something green but it is such a hard colour to find.</p> <p>Thanks Teresa and Cindy - I love the shoes. You can take the tassels off too which is nice with a dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110335 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 08:50:52 +0000 nemosmom 2110335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing your additions, Sal!&nbsp; All of your pieces look well-curated (and practical) no matter what may come of all the Covid craziness and what life looks like on the other side.&nbsp; </p> <p>I do hope you will wear your fun wrap jacket - even if it is just to take out the rubbish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110334 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 08:21:55 +0000 notsaf 2110334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces, Sal! There were be a time for your workwear pieces, and remixing them in new ways are this goes on. Glad you kept the wrap coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110311 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 04:48:27 +0000 Brooklyn 2110311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, you will emerge like a butterfly from a cocoon after the lockdown. Stay strong </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110305 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 03:44:17 +0000 slim cat 2110305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute shoes! I like that the new pieces are in close color company: berry/wine cardigan, pink sweater, light pink/beige shoes and neutral black/cream stripe. Nice addition and useful right away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110289 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 02:42:05 +0000 Teresa 2110289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with cindysmith, those shoes! &nbsp;So lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110283 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 02:34:41 +0000 cindysmith 2110283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those shoes! &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110282 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 02:28:37 +0000 rachylou 2110282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a tight little capsule! It looks like most is wearable in the lockdown </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110278 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 02:08:36 +0000 CarolS 2110278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've got some lovely additions here, Sal. I hope that by all of us around the globe doing our part we'll all be able to once again enjoy the pleasure of thinking about what to wear to work. (I hope all of who want and need to will all be able to work) </p> <p>Like you, I had just shopped (after a very long drought) for spring workwear, now sitting unworn, many of the tags still on, in my closet. It's okay. I count my blessings that I have a job to wear sweatpants to. </p> <p>Better days ahead, I hope. Better days ahead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-added-in-early-march#post-2110273 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 01:35:31 +0000 Sal 2110273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>Well, my nicely developed work capsule is really not needed now.&nbsp; Oh the irony.</p> <p>I shopped early this year to fill gaps - not really predicting what lay ahead.&nbsp; But I am within my budget.&nbsp; I am posting to share but understand if people don't want to see new additions right now.</p> <p>These gorgeous shoes are Beau Coops - a NZ designer.&nbsp; I love them but have only worn them once.&nbsp; But I think they are classic so I see them coming into use over many years.</p> <p>I also added three essential type pieces from Ezibuy.&nbsp; This is a NZ/Australian mass market retailer, mostly online.&nbsp; They started off with catalogues and I remember pouring over the catalogues back in the day.&nbsp; They try and appeal to all and I haven't really purchased from them for a long time.&nbsp; But they tend to have a nice colour range and good merino pieces.</p> <p>So I added the pink sweater, the striped tee (mine is long sleeve) and the wine coloured cardigan.&nbsp; They are all proving useful in lockdown.&nbsp; The cardigan is a good work from home piece.&nbsp; I don't see it being worn a lot outside this situation but right now it is very useful as our evenings are cool but our days are warm.&nbsp; The sweater is a good colour on me.&nbsp; And I always want a striped tee with black and cream stripes....definitely an essential for me.</p> <p>I also decided to keep the wrap jacket.&nbsp; At the moment it will be worn to walk around the block.&nbsp; Or maybe to put out the rubbish.....I am yet to do an outfit lab - it has been so busy preparing our business for this crisis.</p> <p>Whilst I was feeling like adding 12 pieces in three months was excessive there are some advantages.&nbsp; Coming out of this I don't know what I will be needing, able to afford or want to buy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are my 2020 additions.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?collection=8437">https://youlookfab.com/finds/c.....ction=8437</a></p> </p> <p>Clothing and fashion right now is low on the priorities.&nbsp; But the forum is fairly high on the priorities as sharing our experiences and online support is important.&nbsp; Knowing we are all hurting, doing our part and the community is helpful.</p> <p>I cannot shop now at all as we are in lockdown.&nbsp; I could shop internationally but won't be doing that.&nbsp; NZ retailers are <b>very closed </b>except for shopping for essential services.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
