I really like it the way you've styled it, too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-2#post-2103530 Tue, 03 Mar 2020 14:50:21 +0000 Anonymous 2103530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that denim jacket especially, but great new pieces too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-2#post-2103516 Tue, 03 Mar 2020 13:22:20 +0000 Bijou 2103516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some great new purchases, the skirt is gorgeous on you and the waistcoat is really fun. I would wear the waistcoat with jeans on the weekend and over a shift dress for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-2#post-2103494 Tue, 03 Mar 2020 09:44:48 +0000 lyn67 2103494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too much??(the waistcoat??) I love it (and want it!!) as it can add just the right amount of structure for a great practical outfit and elevate from casual to smart or even&nbsp; dressy! I mean you can wear a knit long sleeve instead a button down&nbsp; and call it smart office wear! Love the shoe choice, so effortless with the new skirt! Always look fab!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-2#post-2103491 Tue, 03 Mar 2020 08:29:09 +0000 Mirjana 2103491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful Jane, I like all, especially #1, great denim jacket, WOW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-2#post-2103485 Tue, 03 Mar 2020 06:59:59 +0000 Jane 2103485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Joy!

I am inspired to try something similar with my black knit pleated skirt for a different cold weather look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-2#post-2103327 Mon, 02 Mar 2020 07:30:19 +0000 Jane 2103327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for your lovely kind comments </p> <p>Jenni, thank you. It is brown and black stripe in colour - our bedroom was quite sunny (rare - it’s been raining a lot recently!). I’m going to try it with a shirt and see how it looks. Looking forward to seeing your waistcoat. </p> <p>Thank you Cardiffgirl, I love the denim jacket - it is four years old now, it doesn’t get a huge amount of wear but I do enjoy wearing it when I do. Thank you for noticing my nails. I look forward to seeing your waistcoat too. I’ve worn the bomber a couple of times over the weekend - thank you for your encouragement.</p> <p>Thank you Brooolyn, yes that’s a good idea, I’ve a pair of culottes that I think it could look good with.</p> <p>Thank you CarolS!</p> <p>Thank you Taylor!</p> <p>Thank you Avicenna - it’s a good call on the formality of the waistcoat vs blazer - thank you. I like to wear new clothes so I expect it will get an outing soon. </p> <p>Thank you so much Angie! That is so nice of you to say, happy dance! Ahh yes a dress and the waistcoat I hadn’t thought of that. It’s super isn’t it that DS can pass things on to me!</p> <p>Thank you Sal, that’s kind of you. I honk the waistcoat could be interesting to see how I get on with it!</p> <p>Thank you Rachylou!</p> <p>Thank you Shevia - ah yes vests - I couldn’t remember what the US term for waistcoat was!</p> <p>Thank you Notsaf! </p> <p>Thank you Kellygirl I never know when an item is going to create static for me! So it was risky with the pleated skirt but so good it wasn’t a problem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-2#post-2103205 Sun, 01 Mar 2020 16:11:14 +0000 kellygirl 2103205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun! Love denim jacket--so playful. The waist coat is perfect on you. Great style, fit and color. Looks terrific with the pleated skirt.

Your casual attire is comfortably glam and soooo YOU. Great skirt, and the white boots make the look crisp and different.</p> <p>Super cute new waistcoat! Perfect over dresses, with skirts, and wide crops.&nbsp;</p> <p>DS handing things down to Mum cracks me up..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-2#post-2103064 Sat, 29 Feb 2020 23:25:03 +0000 avicennia 2103064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The waistcoat is lovely. Since I don’t know what your work environment is like, it’s hard to say if too much. While I don’t own a waistcoat, I do have two of their longer cousin the gilet. It seems to me that gilets and waistcoats are perfect when you need to be a little dressed up, but not as formal as a blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-2#post-2103056 Sat, 29 Feb 2020 23:00:25 +0000 taylor 2103056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF....the denim jacket with jewels is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-2#post-2103054 Sat, 29 Feb 2020 22:57:23 +0000 CarolS 2103054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it'a all so freakin' cute!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-2#post-2103045 Sat, 29 Feb 2020 21:59:45 +0000 Brooklyn 2103045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the waistcoat and love how you are wearing it.

Why does it look browner in pics 3-5 but greyer in pic 6?<br /> I am planning how to wear my thrifted in 2015 waistcoat again and thinking with a long top under, over pants?<br /> Of course you can wear it to work xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-2#post-2103031 Sat, 29 Feb 2020 21:19:50 +0000 Jane 2103031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello lovely fabbers. I was so excited today as I was able to wear my new navy silky style skirt, which is really two pieces of fabric. I wore it with a black slip beneath, I was a little concerned about how it would flap about in the wind, but it didn't too much. The weight of the fabric kept it down. The last photo shows kind of how it works. </p> <p>I wore it with my denim jacket and white boots, plus DS outgrown bomber jacket. The bomber jacket is a bit long for me really, but it was JFE I think. I'm thinking that the skirt will be a spring / summer staple for home; I would love some cool trainers to wear with it. The denim dials the skirt more into casual mode I think.&nbsp;</p> <p>Then also a waistcoat that I purchased and a new pleated skirt (from fast fashion store Dorothy Perkins - an emergency purchase because I had to stay away for work unexpectedly - but amazingly, no static, well done DP). It will be interesting to see how much I wear the waistcoat - I would like to wear it for work really, but I don't know if it might be too much.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for looking. All comments welcome! Especially on how else to style the waistcoat and any tips for leggings to wear under the skirt.&nbsp; </p>
