I do think this will be a good autumn and winter dress for me as I do love 60's mod style and this dress is beautifully made.<br /><b>Meredith </b>- so glad that you like the sun dress because wearing dresses like this is a bit of a uniform for me over the summer - either that or cropped flared jeans.<br /><b>Suz </b>- yes I will have to get my act together and post more, thank you for the encouragement. I always enjoy your WIW posts.<br /><b>Angie </b>- thank you for all your posts, particularly in relation to how to make new styles work. When the sales assistant was trying to be helpful, I was fine about sticking to my guns, because I knew that the jeans needed different footwear to work. Previously (before YLF) I may have not been so confident in trusting myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1767369 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 15:43:39 +0000 Bonnie 1767369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your style, too. My favorite is the dress in #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1766932 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:49:37 +0000 Angie 1766932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY. Waving at my jeans twin, and proud that you stuck to your guns.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1766925 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:30:56 +0000 JAileen 1766925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice! I really love the flowered dress. It looks kind of 60s mod. The bag in 3 is mod too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1766912 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 14:52:39 +0000 Suz 1766912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said exactly!&nbsp;</p> <p>And also, like Brooklyn I see the playfulness.&nbsp;</p> <p>So great to see you post!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1766866 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 13:04:46 +0000 Meredith 1766866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous roundup. I am partial to #1, but they are all really great looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1766855 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 11:56:15 +0000 lyn67 1766855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Think you have a great style, and love them all you posted here-great corporate outfits and playful casuals! The little floral dress in nr 6 is so cheery and I esp &nbsp;love it with black sleeves underneath.is it a &nbsp;fall/winter dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1766802 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 05:10:34 +0000 Bijou 1766802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn </b>thank you for your thoughtful analysis. I get to have more fun with my casual looks that work wear, as I work as an Accountant and so I have to be pretty conservative at work. I love the Jodie AG crops and glad that we are jeans twins.<br /><b>Smittie </b>- I am definitely a dress and skirts girl, but I think that is mainly because I live in a mild climate and they work well here. If I lived in cold temperatures, I don't think I would wear them as much.<br /><b>Kkards </b>- 8F is sooo cold - thanks for the feedback on the dress, I will have to post without the black shirt underneath.<br /><b>Angie </b>- thank you for your feedback, the Jodie AG crops were really only bought on your recommendation, so I have to thank you for the best of my summer outfits! Funnily when I bought these jeans the sales assistant had a real poison eye for them and was trying to get me to buy cropped skinny jeans instead. I am so glad that I was not swayed as I really love these jeans.<br /><b>Barbara Diane </b>- I do sympathise, when it is cold and wet, a warm summers day sounds very good. At least you have boots - they are my favourite footwear in winter and in summer I do miss wearing them.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1766665 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 20:56:26 +0000 Barbara Diane 1766665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jealous! It's not 8F here, but raining hard. I would so love for it to be sandals weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1766636 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 20:04:03 +0000 Angie 1766636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE seeing all the frocks. You are a stylish lass, and it's great to see you post more regularly. (You're our Naomi Watts).&nbsp;</p> <p>You have absolutely achieved classic, playful and chic. WELL DONE. Hard to pick a fave, although I might need to go with #3.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1766542 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 16:25:26 +0000 kkards 1766542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well its a high of 8F with a wind chill making it feel even colder, so it was lovely to see your summer outfits. great collection of dresses. love the dress in #6, but i'm not a fan of the black shirt under it, i'd love to see it without the shirt.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1766541 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 16:15:25 +0000 Anonymous 1766541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute! The little brown dress is so pretty. I also like the breeziness of 1 and the arms in 2.</p> <p>We will be able to compare notes this season: I am really hoping to expand my skirts/dresses collection for work. Seems like you're a dress/skirt expert! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1766494 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 10:16:36 +0000 Brooklyn 1766494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have great style! I definitely see the playful elements in 2 (the frills), 3 (the gold sandals and Union Jack bag) and 6 (the flippy skirt of the floral dress). I like the floral dress layered. I would love something similar! 4, 5 and 7 look more classic -good work outfits. All very chic.<br /> My fave is 3. Love the mix and I have AG Jodi crops too!<br /> And don't you love cue? I think that they are my favourite Australian brand for workwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-typical-summers-week#post-1766487 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 09:02:15 +0000 Bijou 1766487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been interested in seeing others evolving style and also the benefits gained from regular WIW posts. In 2017 I would like to refine and develop my style (and define it with some style descriptors) so an honest WIW is needed to tap into the collective style wisdom of YLF.</p> <p>The sort of style that I would love to have is to be: classic, playful and chic. I do enjoy wildcard items and will happily wear them, but I think I need to be careful that I am wearing them and not vice versa.</p> <p>My apologies that the quality of the photos is rather poor, but hopefully the photos give a feel for the clothes that I wear and my general style. I seem to be having a "blue" phase at the moment! It really is a colour that I feel very comfortable in.</p> <p>This is a selection of WIW from last week.<br />Picture 1 - a Zara sun dress worn with sandals, for a typical day at home and doing grocery shopping.<br />Picture 2 - another dress and sandals combination on a hot summer's day for a casual day off work and catching up with friends for dinner.<br />Picture 3 - my AG Jodie jeans, worn with a silk tank and some favourite gold sandal / boots, for a casual day. My bag is by Aspinale of London and has a Union Jack on the front - this was a souvenir from a trip to the UK 3 years ago.<br />Picture 4 - a new dress purchased for work - worn with heels (from Moss &amp; Spy - an Australian designer).<br />Picture 5 - a black skirt and shirt combination worn with a red leather moto jacket worn to work. After seeing Angie's Friday ensemble, I am sure that adding white or cream would have been a better choice to lighten this look up. My red leather jacket is about 10 years old!<br />Picture 6 - a new purchase, a dress from Matches fashion, which I wore with the black shirt underneath. I hope you like this dress, as I would love to keep it given the fabric is very beautiful. It does look nice worn without a top underneath, but I do like the versatility of dresses that can be worn this way as it makes them year round propositions.<br />Picture 7 - A navy skirt and jacket combination worn to work with a blue shirt underneath.</p> <p>I work in a corporate office that even in summer has cool air-conditioning, so I mainly wear jackets to work. All feedback and suggestions for improvements are gratefully received! </p>
