Sad about your party - so many cancellations over the last few years. </p> <p>Cardiff girl - you are right. I do suit some waist emphasis- I have broad shoulders and hips and I can look boxy in some straight looks. It’s a good reminder to be thinking about that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264925 Sat, 28 May 2022 07:42:17 +0000 Cardiff girl 2264925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is superb on you.l like them all a lot. your style has just got better and better.To &nbsp;answer your questions,l think that you benefit in your outfits where you have acknowledged your waist,the long tunic and straight up and down dress do not this therefore it feels alittle off to you.<br />Anything you can do ,like tucking in the tunic and maybe putting a few darts into the dress?Or have you tried belting it?wearing it with a long scarf as you have done also helps to point to your waist area.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264921 Sat, 28 May 2022 05:34:01 +0000 Jenni NZ 2264921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course my fave is Stevie Nicks and her rocker boyfriend! I was so sad last year: our very good friend Steve from Rotorua (with wife Sally!) was going to have an “ST” 60th party in September but of course it was cancelled due to Covid. I was going to be Stevie Nicks and had my outfit planned for 4 months beforehand! So I am happy for you that you got to do it.<br /> Is that the same tunic in 2 pics next to each other pic 4? Looks a totally different colour! I like it both ways.<br /> And the rust dress is a Maybe from me.<br /> And the skirt outfit is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264816 Fri, 27 May 2022 18:39:42 +0000 Sal 2264816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bijou! The party was a lot of fun- a rarity now but I love a proper party with dancing and good music!</p> <p>Thanks SlimCat- definitely fun to dress up.</p> <p>Jaime- not sure I did a good job with the descriptions at all! In theory the rust dress will be good for work for 7-8 months a year. All but the very coldest and the middle of summer. It’s comfy, practical and dressy enough. I just need to work out if I will choose it. </p> <p>There’s a high end consignment shop about 6 min walk from my house and the owner is very convincing and lovely - and she brings out lots of things for me to try. It’s fun but I can get carried away!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264686 Fri, 27 May 2022 02:43:27 +0000 Jaime 2264686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is definitely morning me after a night in the pub, but I can't keep the pictures and descriptions straight in my head. So randomly - love the first outfit and the skirt with jacket outfits. I like the top tucked better than untucked. Love the look with your in the jacket with red and boots - charlie's angels on assignment! You and DH look amazing for the costume party! Rust tunic is a great color and looks like good quality, but you might need to add accessories and/or a belt to make it work for your style today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264684 Fri, 27 May 2022 02:28:55 +0000 slim cat 2264684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rust dress - great find! Favorite looks -#8-9 plus Stevie Nicks of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264682 Fri, 27 May 2022 02:12:53 +0000 Bijou 2264682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant outfits and the rust colour is gorgeous on you. #3 is so professional and flattering. Your Stevie Nicks dress is all sorts of wonderful on you, I hope you had lots of fun at the party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264676 Fri, 27 May 2022 00:51:38 +0000 Sal 2264676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lana!&nbsp; I love a hat - in reality this one was pulled from the dress up box - not sure what it was originally purchased for!!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I want to wear more hats - I love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264672 Thu, 26 May 2022 23:26:01 +0000 Lana 2264672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone has said it all but I’m here to add you look really amazing in a hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264662 Thu, 26 May 2022 20:30:46 +0000 Sal 2264662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks StagF - the dress I do regret - but sometimes these can be surprising winners. And yes I will talk to the tailor as I agree it might not work.</p> <p>Cat2 - yes good point re sandals. It’s a mid weight dress but most of our year suits those in between clothes. It’s just how much I like it I think.</p> <p>Carla- I am increasingly drawn to lighter and warmer colours - I still like some black and navy but it’s less now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264660 Thu, 26 May 2022 20:13:52 +0000 Carla 2264660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm…. I’m really liking the warm colours - yellow, mustard, rust - on you. &nbsp;Outfits #1 and #3 and both in #7 for IRL. &nbsp;Stevie Nicks gets a 10+! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264650 Thu, 26 May 2022 18:41:57 +0000 cat2 2264650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the rust dress would be cute with sandals in your warm season. I would hem the tunic so it’s easier to tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264648 Thu, 26 May 2022 17:59:19 +0000 Sal 2264648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kotosulaman! I love this shade of yellow.</p> <p>Thank you Star. I agree tucking didn’t work. I only realised this from the photo not from the mirror!! </p> <p>Thanks Brooklyn. The rust dress is a thick linen- it’s a good autumn weight but I agree not for winter. The jeans are Levi’s ribcage straight. That’s the length I was considering with the grey tunic that I could tuck or leave out. </p> <p>Thanks Angie. It was fun to get dressed up for a party. And the golden jacket is such a good colour on me- makes me think I am warm spring. I am thinking I will hack the grey tunic - it really is the most luxe fabric and I want to make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264626 Thu, 26 May 2022 14:13:32 +0000 Angie 2264626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH MY WORD, <b>Sal!</b> Soooo much fun in this post! KILLER all round :)</p> <p>#1 - one of your BEST ever looks to my eye, and your dresses and wide crops are hard to beat! LOVE! You wear white very well.</p> <p>#2 - Go Team Neon! Super cute cycle gear.</p> <p>#3 - Sooo lovely! Wave to <b>Brooklyn</b>.&nbsp;</p> <p>#6 - KILLER to the Power of KILLER. You both look sensational! Hubs is absolutely George in "Get Back"!&nbsp;Gorgeous navy dress. </p> <p>#7 - Mega fab dramatic scarf action! Loving the boots with the earthy cords.&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote hack the tunic and semi-tuck it. More versatile.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264593 Thu, 26 May 2022 10:45:18 +0000 Brooklyn 2264593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who wouldn’t want to be Stevie Nicks. Fun outfit!</p> <p>My favourite here is the skirt outfit. (I am predictable.) And special mention of the jeans outfit in no 8 (with black blazer). What are the jeans? </p> <p>With the rust dress, what’s the fabric? My impression is that it’s a little light to be layered up for winter. I think it would work fine for Spring or cool Summer. Could you wear it over wide leg pants or cropped pants? You could consider putting in side slits, but then you can’t wear it as a dress. </p> <p>I like the grey tunic long or you could get it shortened to hip length, which might make it more versatile for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264578 Thu, 26 May 2022 08:14:52 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2264578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fall looks!<br /> The rust dress looks good, but I see what you mean about maybe not you moving forward.<br /> On the tunic, I don’t know. I hear you on the awkwardness of the length, but also wonder if it’d hang weirdly if chopped. Maybe have a long chat with the alterations person about this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264575 Thu, 26 May 2022 08:03:54 +0000 Star (Lise) 2264575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off photos 1 and 3 are fabulous outfits.&nbsp; I really like the rust dress, and skews classic to me, not dated.&nbsp; Not sure about shortening the tunic, but not such a fan of it tucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264569 Thu, 26 May 2022 07:15:21 +0000 Kotosulamun 2264569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love mustard jacket outfit! Great option for you ❤️ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264562 Thu, 26 May 2022 04:41:16 +0000 Sal 2264562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy!&nbsp; The hat is out of the dress up box but it was fun for a night...</p> <p>The grey one is a conundrum.&nbsp; I wondered about getting splits put in the side too?&nbsp; I need to get some other pants tailored (that keep on sagging at the back) so could get this done at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264560 Thu, 26 May 2022 04:02:18 +0000 rachylou 2264560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The golden yellow is simply beautiful on you. Blew me away. Also: your gear outfits are on the money and the hat rocks! Super cool hat.</p> <p>The rust dress works me. I’m not sure if the grey would work shorter, might hang funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264558 Thu, 26 May 2022 03:52:03 +0000 Sal 2264558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carol!</p> <p>The tunic tucked I thought looked good until I saw the photo, and I think it is a bit too long to tuck successfully currently.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I was pleased to finally get a chance to wear my dress - and my rocker boyfriend stole my fake fur.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264555 Thu, 26 May 2022 03:39:47 +0000 CarolS 2264555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sal --&nbsp; you're looking fabulous in your fall outfits. First, your questions:</p> <p>1. Yes -- I like the rust dress. The colour is good on you, and I like it paired with the dark tights and boots.</p> <p>2. I think I prefer the tunic untucked, but it's a bit hard to tell as I think its length may have made it challenging to get a good tuck. It certainly sounds divine and I hope you get lots of enjoyment at whatever length you determine.</p> <p>Now, on to Stevie and her rocker bf -- AWESOME!</p> <p>Other looks of note for me here at the yellow blazer (yum!), orange cords (also yum), and the fun high vis jacket (plus the ambitious and healthy activity that goes with it.)</p> <p>Thanks for sharing!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-autumnal-action#post-2264553 Thu, 26 May 2022 03:16:08 +0000 Sal 2264553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>It has been a busy time here for me with work and some social activities too.&nbsp; &nbsp;I have been wearing a diverse range of things.</p> <p>I have added three pieces in during April and May.</p> <ol> <li>The hi vis jacket was a no-brainer - I am trying to bike to work so it is used a lot.</li> <li>The rust dress I think was possibly a mistake.&nbsp; I have worn it once, and I did like it, but I wonder if it reflects a past style rather than a future one.&nbsp; It was a consignment purchase, but not a cheap one.&nbsp; I am going to see where I go with this.</li> <li>The soft grey tunic has only been worn once, but I think I will wear it over many years.&nbsp; It is silk but with a small amount of lycra.&nbsp; It is an Italian label called Private 2401 and stunning to wear.&nbsp; Should I get it cut or keep it at tunic length.</li> </ol> <p><b>The looks are:</b></p> </p> <ul> <li>a happy autumnal brown and golden yellow look for working at home</li> </ul> <ul> <li>heading off to a school event on a cold night</li> <li>kitted out to bike to work (there are a lot of layers on here)</li> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>the tunic (I wore it tucked but shown untucked as well) several work looks in neutrals</p> </li> <li>walking to downtown on a blustery day and Rugby Manager look in high school jacket.</li> <li>heading to a 70s party.&nbsp; I am Stevie Nicks - and the other half is sort of 1970 Beatles (He is not John but could be one of the others - I think more Paul sans beard).&nbsp; I finally got to wear my dress from last year!!</li> <li>two work looks including the new rust dress</li> <li>two more work looks, one at a new local restaurant</li> <li>a different picture of Stevie Nicks without her rocker pretend boyfriend.</li> </ul> <p><b>Questions:</b></p> <p>1) What do we think of the rust dress?&nbsp; Yes/maybe/no<br /> 2) Tunic - alter or keep the length (I don't think the photos do it justice and reinforce why I am not a model)</p> <p>Thanks for looking (just adding pics now) </p> <p>Have a good day!</p>
