From my 2 visits to Brisbane, it has never come across as a fashionable place!</p> <p>I recognise your sandals from Myer. I have been haunting the Myer shoe sale but haven't committed ( they are probably out of my size by now)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-bought-in-brisbane-and-a-little-disappointment#post-1045937 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 10:52:45 +0000 Deborah 1045937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharon, that's the dress I was thinking of. &nbsp;I forgot it was Cate who wore it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-bought-in-brisbane-and-a-little-disappointment#post-1045818 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 01:17:26 +0000 Jaime 1045818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That bag looks like a great target for pickpockets! At least you got some great loot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-bought-in-brisbane-and-a-little-disappointment#post-1045816 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 01:05:32 +0000 Ginkgo 1045816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote Melbourne as one of the most stylish cities ever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-bought-in-brisbane-and-a-little-disappointment#post-1045808 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 00:16:20 +0000 Sharon 1045808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if it's good enough for Cate Blanchett...<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/fashion/cate-blanchett-wears-crochet-dress-on-red-carpet/story-e6frfn7i-1225776287036">http://www.news.com.au/enterta.....pet/story-</a></p> <p>I concur with jenanded. If you want to see street style you need to go to New Farm (yuppie) or Paddington (yummy mummy). Or West End, if alternative looks are your thing. Otherwise, it's pretty casual and suburban. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-bought-in-brisbane-and-a-little-disappointment#post-1045794 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 23:59:37 +0000 Deborah 1045794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt reminds if what Romance Was Born were doing a couple of years back, a kind if edgier crochet! This skirt looks like blankets my grandma used to make:(. Fun idea tho. I think there are very specific areas in all states where you will find great street style but generally I find its sadly lacking:(. Bet you looked fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-bought-in-brisbane-and-a-little-disappointment#post-1045793 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 23:56:20 +0000 Suz 1045793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you got some wonderful sandals! As for the fashion....alack, alas...what's a traveller to do? They were probably all snapping pictures of you!! (They should have been, with your style.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-bought-in-brisbane-and-a-little-disappointment#post-1045784 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 23:36:39 +0000 jenanded 1045784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol! I am a Brisbane girl and would not think the skirt is usual... James St you get some better dressers but yes with the heat there is usually too much flesh and run down feet on show... but still fun and hope the rest of your trip was enjoyable. The sandals are really pretty.

It's just so rare! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-bought-in-brisbane-and-a-little-disappointment#post-1045743 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 21:59:52 +0000 Debra 1045743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent work I really like that t shirt too.<br /> And yes, Brisbane is VERY laid-back, first thing I noticed when I moved here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-bought-in-brisbane-and-a-little-disappointment#post-1045733 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 21:45:10 +0000 Anonymous 1045733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo, lovely new sandals you got for S/S! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-bought-in-brisbane-and-a-little-disappointment#post-1045731 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 21:43:46 +0000 soobee 1045731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you may be right MK!&nbsp; Another "Country Mouse"!&nbsp; Good eye, yes a graphic tee </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-bought-in-brisbane-and-a-little-disappointment#post-1045728 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 21:38:40 +0000 MsMary 1045728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, the lady in the lovely handmade skirt was probably a country mouse on a trip to the big city, too!&nbsp; ;)</p> <p>I love your loot, especially the Hush Puppies and ... is that a graphic tee in the top row with the pink writing?&nbsp; Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-bought-in-brisbane-and-a-little-disappointment#post-1045724 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 21:31:23 +0000 soobee 1045724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi YLFers, had one marathon shopping day on our little holiday away and collected lots of goodies.&nbsp; I expect I'll be showing them in upcoming WIW posts.&nbsp; My favourites are the shoes, I desperately needed to update some of them and they're hard to come by in my small town.&nbsp; </p> <p>Last photo shows what the lady in front of me was wearing when we went to see a play.&nbsp; I'm sure she put a lot of time and effort into making this crocheted skirt and it was lovely, but I was soooooooo hoping for some inspirational high fashion and "street style" on my trip to the big city.&nbsp; When we arrived I had my camera ready but I came home without one single inspirational pic.&nbsp; Could it be that Queenslanders are too laid back, or is this the norm elsewhere? </p>
