The denim jacket is nothing special, just H&amp;M. They sold this cut for a while, there was an assortment of washes available each year. I think the current H&amp;M cut is boxier. I do think I paid around 10€ to have the sleeves shortened back when I got it, so it wasn't perfect out of the box. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1707409 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 03:06:33 +0000 crazyone 1707409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that's a great denim jacket! &nbsp;and beautiful dress. &nbsp;I wish I had a denim jacket but I've been finding it hard to find the perfect soft one.&nbsp; </p> <p>Sorry that your friend is moving out of town--my friends have spread out all over the world, and it's been tough. &nbsp;But the internet/smartphone apps really do make it easier to keep in touch.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1707401 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 02:56:52 +0000 Jaime 1707401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit - hope you had a great goodbye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1707378 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 02:33:23 +0000 Anonymous 1707378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent fit on the denim jacket - that's not an easy thing to do.

As you are in that beautiful dress; I love the rich colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1707201 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 20:55:31 +0000 Astrid 1707201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! That ring is old and still well loved - I remember spending a lot of pocket money on it when I was maybe twelve or thirteen years old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1707197 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 20:53:27 +0000 kerlyn 1707197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really pretty on you Astrid! &nbsp;And I love the turquoise ring!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1707186 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 20:46:09 +0000 Astrid 1707186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Cheryl and Sara. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706883 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 13:18:16 +0000 Sara L. 1706883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit!&nbsp; I love the floral and denim together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706872 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 12:51:00 +0000 dakotacheryl 1706872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great floral dress on you, and it just goes to show that a denim jacket can be the perfect topper!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706839 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 11:20:25 +0000 Astrid 1706839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sally! You know, I think that's really interesting. I bet I read it here on the forum and just adopted it. A lot of the terms and prases used here aren't something I would have learned in school, after all. </p> <p>Thanks Ornella! Yes you're right... (I'm also wearing jeans, sneakers and a rain jacket today. No scarf though.)</p> <p>Thanks Summer! Yes, it was lovely.</p> <p>Thanks Helen - that's true. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706826 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 10:53:32 +0000 Helen11 1706826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the bright colours in your dress, and the pale denim jacket. One good thing to come of friends moving, is that you then have a reason to travel and visit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706819 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 10:17:03 +0000 Summer 1706819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look on you, Astrid.&nbsp; It's a formula that works beautifully.</p> <p>I hope you enjoyed your evening, even if it was rather a bitter-sweet occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706813 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 09:53:02 +0000 Ornella 1706813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect together and perfect on you. (Btw, I'm not just in closed shoes but in jacket and scarf, and long for real Summer...)</p> <p>Goodbyes are part of life, but friendship enrich us even when we're apart from dear people. (Just think if YLF) Good luck to your friend for her new beginning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706807 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 08:27:09 +0000 Sal 1706807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look on you, 90s in the best way!! &nbsp;This dress is just so great on you, it is flattering and fun.</p> <p>I also find it interesting the use of the phrase "lucked out". &nbsp;In NZ if you "lucked out" this means you were unlucky as in</p> <p>..."gosh you lucked out getting the small piece of cake".</p> <p>Whereas most people on the forum would use it as</p> <p>"gosh you lucked out getting the large piece of cake".</p> <p>Sorry - diversion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706796 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 06:29:41 +0000 Astrid 1706796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! For the compliments and for commiserating. It was a nice evening, although I personally wasn't that enamoured with the food, too hot for my taste. </p> <p>My friend is moving back to her hometown, she wanted to go back after finishing university. I've visited her there a few times when she was staying with her mum, it's a nice city! And she lucked out and found a great flat now. </p> <p>And you're right, many options now to stay in contact. And I have experience with it, I haven't lived in the same city as my oldest (and best) friend since kindergarten! And moved myself a few times. It's all fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706594 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 21:50:00 +0000 shedev 1706594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great ensemble. It's always tough to say goodbye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706502 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 18:43:52 +0000 Anonymous 1706502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, you look wonderful Astrid. I love the paler wash of the denim over the richer darker floral. Tights and shoes look great here too. Sorry to hear about your pal. As you say you'll still keep in touch. All the internet ways to connect makes the world seem so much smaller these days eh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706487 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 18:14:59 +0000 harmonica 1706487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning in that dress and denim jacket. Goodbyes are awful, but it's also a beginning of new adventures. Social media keeps it so much easier to keep in touch than before, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706435 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 16:32:33 +0000 skylurker 1706435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Astrid, it's not fun to say goodbye, esp. when you're the one staying behind.<br /> Your colder evening version of the dress works very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706430 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 16:26:38 +0000 Maneera 1706430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're looking super pretty, Astrid. Infact, this is one of my Favourite ensembles on you yet! </p> <p>I hope your friend is moving somewhere fun...to do something fun I remember saying good bye to best friends.....bittersweet for sure. I read your comment above so I hope you're next to be moving too! </p> <p>In any case, you look gorgeous. Love the print on that dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706411 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 15:49:05 +0000 Suz 1706411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is so cute on you with the jacket, Astrid. So sorry you have to say goodbye to your friend.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706404 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 15:17:22 +0000 Astrid 1706404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's good 90's... I've seen a lot of 90's stuff in Berlin lately which I remember from my own childhood that is simply awful (tattoo necklaces, anyone?), but I'm fine when it looks like this. I love a combination of though and pretty. </p> <p>Thanks Angie! She's not out of my life, but of course we're not going to see each other as often as we do now. It's basically the end of a phase of life. I hope I'm going to move too next year, I'm fed up with Berlin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706397 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 15:03:45 +0000 Angie 1706397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the dress with the denim jacket. It's Killer on you, Astrid. Saying goodbye to friends is awful. (((HUGS)).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706396 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 15:01:34 +0000 Mochi 1706396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say, Great 90's-inspired look! But i wasn't sure you'd take that as a compliment. But I mean, it's very nicely-balanced in the tough-pretty aspects. And the fit is great of course. Super flattering. Sorry you're saying goodbye to a friend; I know how that feels.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-formula-with-the-new-dress#post-1706387 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 14:46:11 +0000 Astrid 1706387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been a bit colder again, the weather definitely calls for closed shoes. I'm wearing my new floral dress with my old oxfords and older denim jacket for an evening out. We're planning to eat Korean, a farewell meet-up for one of my best friends who's moving away from Berlin. It's definitely going to be a bittersweet evening! </p> <p>&nbsp; </p>
