I do enjoy my collection of dresses.</p> <p><b>Nomad</b> - I am glad you like #6 because that one, of the velvet wrap over jeans is a bit more out of my wheelhouse.</p> <p><b>Sal </b>- the outfits you have picked are all recent purchases, so I am thrilled that you like these best - the others are older items. As for weather, it is all over the place here. it was a max of 23C on Saturday and will be 36C today - so I will be wearing full on summer clothing to cope with the heat.</p> <p><b>ChristinaF</b>- You must look at Gryffin's post to see her amazing Le Smoking inspired pieces - perfect for what you describe.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1979008 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 20:17:10 +0000 Christina F. 1979008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I kind of want a formal suit.... I go to a formal event most years in April, and it would be nice to switch up from wearing dresses. The crowd is not snooty, so I could get away with not wearing a dress to a ball. Now is the best time to buy, due to all the jacquard and velvet options, but of course I can't right now. That said, THANK YOU for this inspiration, as I can try to make it work someday. Your items are both gorgeous and versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978991 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 19:28:46 +0000 Sal 1978991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits Bijou- I love 4 5 and 7 the best but they are great.

I did think of you when I bought #5 because the colours in the fabric would be perfect for you and the swoosh factor is definitely there in this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978632 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 17:20:12 +0000 Angie 1978632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want #5 - and I don't wear sleeveless!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978631 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 17:19:27 +0000 Angie 1978631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>WOW<b></b></p> <p>You have an <i>incredible</i> dress collection, and have <i></i>KILLER <i></i>style<i>,</i><b>&nbsp;Bijou.&nbsp;</b><i></i> Full stop :)</p> <p>You always look beautiful, playful, dressy and pulled together.

Today is the first day of summer. It is still mild weather (mostly mid 20's C in maximum temp), but we are heading into weather that will be in the high 30's by the end of this month. So opposite weather to you and when we hit the high temps, I will be envious of your picture perfect snow. Maybe that is because I have never lived somewhere where it snows. Christmas in 40C heat is unfortunately quite a regular occurrence here.</p> <p><b>Smittie</b> - the striped dress is a favourite because it is fun to wear. So glad that you are on team dress this season!</p> <p><b>Kkards </b>- I remember Angie had a thread about preferences for orange or purple and at the time I was adamant that I did not wear orange, yet here I am... I almost think when I post things like that, I am setting myself up to eat my words at a later date.</p> <p><b>Kellygirl</b> - spring dressing is always a season that I like. So glad you like the striped dress as that is a bit of a different style for me, sheath dresses for work are an easy (but in repetition can be boring) formula for me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978578 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 15:15:16 +0000 kellygirl 1978578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phenomenal dresses on you and you wear color so well. Hard pressed to pick a fave because you are so gorgeous in everything! Wowza! That striped dress is divine--that could be my most fave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978577 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 15:11:53 +0000 kkards 1978577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>like them all, but the midi skirt outfit in #4 is so fresh...love the pop that the orange knit &nbsp;and shoes bring to this look,&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978576 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 15:02:57 +0000 Anonymous 1978576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely bijou.<br /> I am partial to the outfits with high doses of colour. Gorgeous striped dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978569 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 14:43:27 +0000 Anonymous 1978569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remind me where you live again? &nbsp; (this isn't North America is it?) &nbsp;These are all outstanding, and interesting, and unique looks. &nbsp;You certainly know how to dress to flatter and how to use colour to your advantage. &nbsp;You look fab!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978555 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 13:06:31 +0000 anne 1978555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the last outfit. That bib necklace that you also wore today adds a nice brightener to the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978551 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 12:42:23 +0000 Bijou 1978551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mainlady and Katerina, what a lovely compliment. Spring is my favourite season fashion wise, I just love spring colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978540 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 11:16:51 +0000 Mainelady 1978540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stately, gorgeous, YOU! I agree with what Katerina said. Your outfits have many beautiful details, but they serve to enhance you. I still see you first. You are a master of how to make a wardrobe work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978529 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 09:48:03 +0000 Bijou 1978529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Taylor </b>- thank you, you are so right about how an item makes you feel and the swoosh factor of the dress is fun because many of my work dresses are sheath dresses.</p> <p><b>Katerina </b>- so glad you like the orange heels. As soon as I saw them I wanted them to be comfortable. Luckily they passed my 11 hours at work test, so I wasn't blinded by their beauty. #7 is an outfit that I wore giving a presentation to about 200 clients, so that is my "when I need to feel professional and polished" summer work outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978510 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 07:09:28 +0000 Katerina 1978510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, I am speechless, breathtaking!<br /> ALL these outfits are amazing, you have a dream wardrobe of perfect items and extraordinary style. The orange shoes is a wonderful addition.<br /> 6 and 7 blow me away.<br /> Stunning maximal outfits and yet, I can always see you in the center. The outfits never wear you. This is definitely one of my favourite sets of your outfits so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978504 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 06:30:19 +0000 taylor 1978504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful !<br /> Love how shoes can add that pop of color and bring so much to an outfit ,<br /> Love the “swoosh” factor dress ! I totally get how clothes make us FEEL a certain way by their movement or color ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---being-a-little-more-festive#post-1978495 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 05:38:05 +0000 Bijou 1978495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This week I bought some orange shoes and found them a fun way to add some colour into my wardrobe. Although, looking at my WIWs, it was a week of enjoying black and white about equally with colour.</p> <p>1. Gingham knit dress with white boots - this is a favourite dress from last year because it is so comfortable.<br />2 &amp; 3. Shift dress with gold booties and my trusty Kate Spade jacket from NAS 2017 (an Angie pick last year)<br />4. Orange knit, midi skirt, cropped jacket and orange heels.<br />5. Multicoloured dress - my favourite work dress for this summer, it has the swoosh factor and feels festive too.<br />6. What I am wearing today, inspired by Gryffin's Le Smoking I wanted to wear black and white - velvet wrap dress, black skinnies and white boots with a black singlet top underneath. My husband really liked this outfit.<br />7. One of my favourite work outfits - black dress, white jacket, white statement necklace and orange shoes.</p> <p>All comments and suggestions are appreciated! </p>
