Beautiful beach too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1804205 Tue, 02 May 2017 03:10:21 +0000 Sal 1804205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all - sorry short response as on phone briefly during work hours. I realised through this thread that the looks have a maximal element - so I am pleased I can do this in my way- I am not a true maximalist though.</p> <p>I think for me crops have leeway- being tall and leggy I don't worry overly about the length. It is more top length that makes a difference - or shorts length - in these areas an inch either way goes from right to wrong! </p> <p>Thanks for the comments and suggestions!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803905 Mon, 01 May 2017 12:47:05 +0000 Anonymous 1803905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your floral top and sequinned top. I would love to have sequins but I just don't think I would ever wear them.</p> <p>Yes, I like the idea of a midi pencil skirt for you too :-)</p> <p>Also: I spot PPL on your cropped pants! They look wonderful with your heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803903 Mon, 01 May 2017 12:37:58 +0000 Bijou 1803903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love you in all these outfits. That Witchery top sold out locally, it is such a wonderful piece. Your friend has made the most lovely sweater, the colour is amazing on you. The sequinned top is a great way to be "maximal" but in a timeless way. This is a great lesson in personal style - just superb. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803884 Mon, 01 May 2017 12:09:39 +0000 Brooklyn 1803884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, try your sequin top with ankle boots + midi skirt. Everyone is doing booties + midi skirt here. I like you in a midi A-line skirt. You could do a midi pencil skirt too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803881 Mon, 01 May 2017 12:06:32 +0000 Anonymous 1803881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sal.&nbsp; I love both of the new items.&nbsp; I especially love the fact that they work so seamlessly with your existing wardrobe.&nbsp; That is a win-win.&nbsp; </p> <p>My favorite of the two is the sweater.&nbsp; I love the colors/fit.&nbsp; Both seem to evoke the feeling of comfort.&nbsp;&nbsp;It also looks dressy, yet still comfortable.&nbsp; </p> <p>The second picture interested me.&nbsp; Are those black pants considered cropped?&nbsp; The proportions look so good on you!!!&nbsp; I didn't get out my ruler, but I would guess that was a 1:1 ratio.&nbsp; Yet it was still so flattering on you.&nbsp; I wonder if it was the black on black that made it work so well?&nbsp; It could have been fit too.&nbsp; Everything seemed to fit your body perfectly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803878 Mon, 01 May 2017 12:00:38 +0000 Angie 1803878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your longer hair looks beautiful, Sal.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE that striped top on you. The ruffled blouse is gorgeous, and so are you in it. You MATCH the wall paper. Soooo fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>Teleport me to that beach right away, please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803876 Mon, 01 May 2017 11:58:23 +0000 shedev 1803876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sweater your friend made and the floral top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803864 Mon, 01 May 2017 10:50:35 +0000 Staysfit 1803864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the sweater your friend made! It's cheerful and warm! So nice! :-)</p> <p>I also like your 3 trend top! I think it looks great on you and it helps to make the blackout look work well. I'm not a big fan of black, but adding texture and pattern, or interesting design elements like you have here make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803856 Mon, 01 May 2017 10:11:06 +0000 Jenni NZ 1803856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All look great. I like all the tops- bright jumper, floral shirt, and sequins. Witchery and the other brands owned by the same group, Trenery, Country Road and Mimco I think, are pretty appealing. A little bit pricey sometimes I feel so don't get a lot there.<br /> I love that a friend made your bright jumper. Hope maybe you have bright gumboots too, for rugby? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803849 Mon, 01 May 2017 09:41:36 +0000 Sal 1803849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia, the day at the beach was happy and sad (a good friend is moving back to Europe). &nbsp;My son went swimming but not me.</p> <p>Sophia, thanks for the nice feedback.</p> <p>As I look at the sequin top again I see why I don't wear it, it is just a smidge too short, yet tucked I find the proportions all wrong. &nbsp;I will try again with an A line skirt (I don't have tall boots sadly but I do have some ankle boots that might work). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803838 Mon, 01 May 2017 09:02:49 +0000 Sophia Alice 1803838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cherish the flower drift. Looks incredible on you. What's more, the new sweater is intriguing blend of lively/aesthetic.I could see you wearing the sequin best with a skirt and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803802 Mon, 01 May 2017 02:57:06 +0000 Jaime 1803802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the second one, but I love the bright sweater too. The sequin top is terrific but a tiny bit short as you say, maybe try it with even shorter pants. Beach shot is awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803771 Mon, 01 May 2017 01:00:20 +0000 Sal 1803771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn, I have thought about one, but not seen one as yet. &nbsp; &nbsp;I plan to get some flatforms or flat brogues or loafers, a dress or skirt, and some jeans. &nbsp;I do have a black midi skirt but no tall boots right now....</p> <p>&nbsp; My budget is relatively small this winter (boohoo) but I have added a few pieces although three were simple layering tops that I desperately needed.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803767 Mon, 01 May 2017 00:48:31 +0000 Brooklyn 1803767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the trendy floral top. Love the floral trend. Looks great on you. And the new sweater is interesting mix of sporty/arty. I like your sequin top too. Have you thought about an A-line midi skirt for winter? I could see you wearing the sequin top with a skirt and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803762 Mon, 01 May 2017 00:16:41 +0000 Sal 1803762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz. &nbsp;Yes I agree, the sweater is not that versatile (hard to layer over, and very memorable). &nbsp;But perfect for work from home, mid temp winter days at sport, going to the movies, casual dinners with friends etc - and these are some of my common winter activities. &nbsp;</p> <p>The blouse is "trendy" so I do plan to wear it a lot this year.</p> <p>And yes the sequins in a simple shape can be a workhorse. &nbsp;I should wear it more!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803761 Mon, 01 May 2017 00:11:54 +0000 Suz 1803761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A sequinned sweater like that can be a workhorse. I had a navy sequinned sweatshirt from BR that I wore the heck out of for 3 years but when it faded I passed it on -- and still miss it about once per week.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your new items! Both tops (sweater and blouse) are real statement items yet fit in seamlessly with the rest of your closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumn---new-trends-and-old-favourites-featuring-black-cropped-pants#post-1803759 Mon, 01 May 2017 00:05:05 +0000 Sal 1803759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are three looks I have worn over the last few weeks. &nbsp;There are three new pieces, and the rest are old favourites. &nbsp;Each look features one new item worn with old favourites from last year or earlier.</p> <p>1) New draped sweater, worn layered with a black tank, black lululemon pants and white sneakers. &nbsp;Worn to rugby. &nbsp;The sweater was made by my friend and I have worn it three times, twice as per this, and once with jeans.</p> <p>2) New black blouse - trend alert!!. &nbsp;This is black floral, with statement sleeves and ruffles on the back, so three trends in one. &nbsp;Worn out to friends for a curry night with my old black Witchery crops, and old faithful sandal boots. &nbsp;I will also wear this with jeans and maybe tucked into a skirt. &nbsp;</p> <p>3) Worn for work today, black out. &nbsp;My new Witchery black crops, worn for the first time. &nbsp;Along with my very old Mary Janes (dating to 2009), a black sequinned sweater (dating to about 2012 I think). &nbsp;I almost passed this sweater on as it is marginally too short. &nbsp;But I like the neckline and it is good to layer. &nbsp;I prefer it with a column of colour.</p> <p>Bonus photo of a day at the beach. &nbsp;Also added the picture from Witchery of the blouse so you can see the back better.</p> <p>Your feedback is welcomed.</p>
