I especially like the skirt outfit. It's a very effortless-cool look: the button-up shirt with a bloused tuck and rolled sleeves, the satin slip-skirt, and slides all contribute.&nbsp;</div><div>The linen shirt is great with the boxer shorts--lends some gravitas while staying cool and casual.&nbsp;</div><div>And your FFBO formula is still going strong!&nbsp;</div><div>I've worn a lot of new things lately. I received a pale gray linen Eileen Fisher sweater (Find below) this week--ordered a couple of weeks ago--and wore it the next day. I paired it with an older tank that matches perfectly, from my days working at OSKA (alas, no Find); the tank has an asymmetrical hem that hung out just enough from the bottom of the sweater. I had no idea they would go together when I ordered the sweater! Oh, and I wore them with blue cargo jeans. Maybe my mother's wedding ring would count as borrowed; you could say I borrowed it rather permanently, after she passed away.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390376 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 00:35:01 +0000 Lisa 2390376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz&nbsp;</b>I wear a blue bag daily in the summer months (or very close to daily). Am I back on team blue now? *joking* :)</p> <p>Seriously though, blue is lovely year round but I especially enjoy blue (and white) in the summer months.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390319 Fri, 11 Jul 2025 17:46:16 +0000 Mirjana 2390319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All outfits are nice, but i like the best satin skirt, so modern and elegant. I adore satin skirt, very nice for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390280 Fri, 11 Jul 2025 13:35:26 +0000 Jules 2390280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All lovely and effortless The boxers look great! Great styling that keeps the casual integrity while levelling up just a bit to be true to your style.<br /> I haven’t borrowed from my kids in a while. I was also off buying blue for several years because my preferred earth tones came back in style, but these linen pants from American Eagle caught my eye when I was at the Eaton Centre with my younger DD - so I guess you could say I ‘borrowed’ the store? Lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390264 Fri, 11 Jul 2025 10:13:06 +0000 Jenni NZ 2390264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not embarrassing at all!

I am sorry but if that is the best you can do, you are a lightweight!&nbsp; &lt;joking&gt;&nbsp;</p> <p>But in seriousness, I don't think a day goes by more than maybe twice a year when I don't wear some blue!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390231 Fri, 11 Jul 2025 00:15:18 +0000 Jaime 2390231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks great - your shorts styling is exactly right, and your clever tying of the shirt works perfectly with the skirt. Cool, calm and stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390230 Fri, 11 Jul 2025 00:13:36 +0000 Kate 2390230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your boxer shorts! You look casually chic in your slip skirt and button down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390223 Thu, 10 Jul 2025 22:24:24 +0000 Helena 2390223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, that's a smart borrow! Suz, thank you for the kind words and you are queen blue! Lisa, great bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390219 Thu, 10 Jul 2025 20:51:54 +0000 Lisa 2390219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue boxer shorts and linen shirt look perfect for running errands. Like&nbsp;<b>Suz&nbsp;</b>I am also on team blue and that’s a large portion of my wardrobe. I probably wear something blue at least once a week. For older items, my handbags are always my oldest pieces. I don’t wear out bags fast so they stick around a while. This blue Tumi bag is from NAS a few years ago and is a summer staple for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390195 Thu, 10 Jul 2025 16:11:38 +0000 Suz 2390195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA, it is hard for me to comment on the old/ blue categories since that would be more than half my closet, ha!&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think I've worn anything borrowed lately, though.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390194 Thu, 10 Jul 2025 16:10:21 +0000 Suz 2390194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfits, <b>Helena</b>!

A full tuck would not work ... I twisted it so the back, tucked the tail and then fluffed it all up to create forgiveness :)</p> <p>Thank you all for the kind comments! Xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390175 Thu, 10 Jul 2025 14:33:37 +0000 Irina 2390175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute looks,&nbsp;<b>Helena!&nbsp;</b>I’m also impressed that you can tuck in your shirt in a satin skirt. It is beyond my dreams! LOL<br />I recently posted an outfit with a blue linen shirt (new) and old cream BR pants. That’s about it. Where can I borrow some clothes? From my DH, perhaps? I wear one of his old cashmere sweaters around the house in a winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390174 Thu, 10 Jul 2025 14:18:50 +0000 kellygirl 2390174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Effortlessly chic looks!

To be able to tuck a shirt into a satin-y skirt is beyond my imagination (for myself ) and this is perfection . &nbsp;Cute boxers too ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-borrowed-blue#post-2390164 Thu, 10 Jul 2025 12:29:08 +0000 RobinF 2390164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits!

Satin skirt and white poplin shirt. Older skirt (a few years) and borrowed shirt + from my daughter's dance costumes! (A Joe fresh one styled for a contemp piece that needed a workwear-ish look). New sandals and sardine necklace!</p> <p>2. Dressing up the new blue boxers with a linen shirt (a few years old) ... I wore this out for casual errands and felt just fine. Are you embarrassed for me or I did okay :D</p> <p>3. Old formula ... Navy top and soft white bottoms. FFBO formula for sure!</p> <p>What old, new, borrowed or blue have you worn recently? </p> <p>ETA whoops I messed up the order sorry!! Will fix it later xx </p>
