Looks like it's outfit number one for the win. The gilet is perfect as a light topper for this time of year. Last year I treated it more as a winter item. So it's boots, bare legs AND gilet time. And Viva, what's this about bringing tall boots back? Where did they go? :)<br /> Thanks Angie. I love chevron. And I am drawn to other graphic black and white combinations too (geometrics, Moroccan prints, black and white florals). I am going to use that information this year.<br /> Thanks Rachy and Jenni. I agree Jenni, our dates are easier to remember. And at the end of February I am so happy to declare summer over! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788705 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 15:04:43 +0000 Jenn 1788705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love "boots with bare legs" season. It's a thing unto itself. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>I think my favorite outfit here is #1. I love that chevron pattern peeking out under the gilet. And you look great in A-line skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788695 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 14:45:15 +0000 Angie 1788695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, sweet Brooklyn. Chevron is a FUN signature pattern.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788650 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 12:30:03 +0000 viva 1788650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like smittie, I really admire your signature style, Brooklyn. So much so that every time I see groupings of your pictures I wish I could dress like this. Silly, because your style is so <b>you</b>. </p> <p>That said. my favorite is outfit 1 and I think I could replicate that in a way. I love the shape of the top (stripes and a t-shirt shape - what is not to love?) -- and I think this is my absolute favorite image of a gilet ever. Quite inspiring.&nbsp;</p> <p>You alone might bring back tall boots, you know. You do it so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788592 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 07:49:49 +0000 Jenni NZ 1788592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look amazing, my fave item of clothing is the black lacy geometric pencil skirt in the last outfit.<br /> Isn't it a bit odd that the Southern Hemisphere seasons ( certainly for Australia and NZ) start on the 1st of the month, whereas in the Northern Hemisphere they seem to wait for the solstices on the 21st? I wonder who decided that, and when? Ours feel easier to me! Just what I'm used to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788585 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 07:03:38 +0000 rachylou 1788585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharp.

Mitered corners? Are you a woodworker? Quite an accurate description though! I like that feature too :)<br /> Thanks Joy.<br /> Thanks Angie. And great memory about the top! I think graphic black and white combinations are signature for me, so the top will have longevity (assuming the quality holds).<br /> Thanks Diana. Yes, boots with bare legs are the best!<br /> Thanks SarahF, delurked, lyn67, Aquamarine and Jennib12 .<br /> Thanks Smittie. I am so glad you think I have a signature style! That is my style goal for 2017. I have experimented with quite a few looks, maybe more so since joining the forum, and this year I want to limit experimentation and focus on working with elements that are tried and tested for me. And thanks for the comment about my handbags. I have quite a nice collection care of my husband. He always needs help with birthday, anniversary and Xmas gifts ideas, so I give him big hints.<br /> Thanks Sisi. I was lucky with the teal top. It sold out a couple of days after I bought it (I was thinking about getting another colour). Our Autumn officially starts on 1 March (Spring on 1 September). But it usually stays pretty warm here well into April. March has been very wet this year, so that has brought the temperatures down a lot. Still in the mid 20s generally.<br /> Thanks Bijou. I love your posts too! So nice to see some fashion action from our neck of the woods! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788468 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 21:34:03 +0000 shedev 1788468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks.

The top in the first outfit is really cool with the mitered corners. I'm glad your weather has cooled off enough for boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788456 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 20:28:14 +0000 Anonymous 1788456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing set of fall looks! I am taking notes. I love the taupe boots as they seem to blend with your hair color. Tall boots are looking fresh . I like the first outfit and the third best but they are all wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788350 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 15:34:17 +0000 Angie 1788350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keeping it short:</p> <p><b>KILLER ALL ROUND.</b> Impossible to pick a fave.&nbsp;</p> <p>(Happy to see you kept the Chevron top, which I loved on you in the larger size).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788320 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 14:10:53 +0000 Diana 1788320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!

The outfits are amazing Brooklyn and so true to your style. I love your skirt collection and so nice to see your chevron top too. This is a very inspiring post.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788271 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 11:15:01 +0000 Brooklyn 1788271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mirjana and kkards.<br /> Kkards, it's more a transition look. I tend to wear the taupe boots in Autumn and Spring because they are lighter and I like them with a bare leg (or nude hose if I must). In Winter I wear opaque tights a lot so then I tend to wear black and dark brown boots more often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788269 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 11:00:16 +0000 Mirjana 1788269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits Brooklyn like always, love them all , but the best #1 and #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788268 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 10:58:25 +0000 kkards 1788268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fab...i'm loving the tall boots with the skirts. is the a transition look or will you add tights/pantyhose for true winter? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breaking-out-the-boots#post-1788255 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 09:51:24 +0000 Brooklyn 1788255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all</p> <p>The weather here has cooled down enough to break out the boots. It's that nice time of year when I can wear them with bare legs. Yay for that!</p> <p>Outfit 1: "8" skirt from Yoox with Cue top. The skirt has a pleather panel at the front, which appeals to me. I wore my circle necklace to contrast with the angled stripes of the top and the gilet as a lightweight jacket to and from work.</p> <p>Outfit 2: Country Road skirt with Veronika Maine top. I wore this to work on a casual Friday (the skirt is denim).</p> <p>Outfit 3: Metalicus skirt with H&amp;M top. I got caught in the rain while walking home, and I've been sick with a virus, so I look a bit faded here.</p> <p>Outfit 4: Alice+Olivia skirt with Veronika Maine top. I didn't actually wear the jacket and cardigan in the last photo (still too warm). But I was testing out how I might layer the outfit for a work trip next month, so I thought I would include a photo. </p> <p>Your thoughts welcome </p>
