It's been one thing after the other lately which is frustrating cos I'm always very healthy and don't often get sick;)</p> <p>Anne thank you and thank you for the advice. I'm using antibiotic drops from the pharmacy and am seeing an improvement.</p> <p>Parsley and Jenava, thanks so much for looking.. and liking:)</p> <p>Jonesy, I will have to look on line but it's kind of cool to be ahead of the trend though certainly not by design:)</p> <p>Laura, I'm sure this look would work for you. I'm short a d not skinny so I find I have to make sure my boxy or oversized tops are not too big otherwise the proportions seem off.</p> <p>Jamie, thank you:)</p> <p>Beth Ann I am sure the colder months will be upon you before you know it, and I can see you working a layered look beautifully.</p> <p>Scarlet thank you, that is such a nice thing to say, but seriously I really have learnt so much here that has allowed me to fine tune and assess things with fresh eyes.</p> <p>KG I love doing wardrobes for people...it's a challenge! And it's awesome to see when a woman realizes that their wardrobe is much more workable than they thought.</p> <p>Nanabear, welcome and thank you:)</p> <p>Lyn, layering is so necessary this time of year. It has been raining Nere for almost 24 hours straight. And you know that's exactly what I wanted to say a couple of times lol</p> <p>Denise you don't miss a thing! Yes there are varying stripes on the top. I'm keen to see take a look at the coming collections for some layering inspiration.</p> <p>Ornella, I'm guessing it's warm where you are:). I would wear my boots all year round if I could:)</p> <p>Diane, thank you. Grey is a color I have not worn much in the past but it has made a bit of an appearance this year:)</p> <p>Ladies you are all so encouraging, thank you xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664976 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 08:36:01 +0000 Anonymous 664976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour pallete of charcoal, black and white with the denim and you layer things so well. Chic and comfortable! what more could a girl want? Well done on helping your friend she must be thrilled with the results. Hope your eye gets better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664971 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 08:17:18 +0000 Ornella 664971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look Deborah, makes me miss my own boots :-)<br /> I really love the layering and the collar on the striped top - that makes the whole look much more fun.</p> <p>It's great you could help your friend with learning from YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664963 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 06:33:55 +0000 CocoLion 664963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is that pattern mixing going on between the striped long sleeves and the striped cowl neck? It works! You are so clever. You kept it minimal by keeping the colors to a minimum, which I like. It's true as Jonesy says there is some really interesting layering going on in the Resort 2013 collections with vests, jackets, dresses, etc. It's going to be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664953 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 04:58:36 +0000 Lyn D. 664953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I love the layering over the stripe top, and don't we need it at the moment?<br /> You ARE a good friend: I know how fun but tricky it can be to help with a wardrobe purge, especially with thrifted items because there can be a HEAP of so-so stuff due to the cost factor! I am sure you were very tactful even when your first thought was 'get rid of this atrocity right NOW!' :)<br /> Have a great day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664952 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 04:51:36 +0000 Nanabear 664952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look - you look great in this ensemble! A really effortless and fab look.<br /> Hope you get better soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664950 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 04:40:52 +0000 kellygirl 664950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are such a good friend! I shudder at the thought of going through a closet. Too much pressure! I love your outfit. It's perfect. The striped top, the sweater and the boots. I totally want to copy this come fall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664945 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 04:27:26 +0000 Scarlet 664945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this!! Glad you at getting better and hope the eye clears up quickly too. Honestly, a part of my brain was thinking "but what have you learned here"? Seems like you had a finely honed sense so style right from the beginning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664935 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 03:56:44 +0000 Beth Ann 664935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Made it a favorite -- of course, I won't try it until we, I don't know, have a day we can't fry an egg on the sidewalk, lol!</p> <p>Love the ease of this --- the softness of the gray with the graphic stripe. The boxiness of the sweater, without too much volume. Very chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664880 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 02:18:58 +0000 Jamie 664880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun day! You look great, as always! I especially love the striped top layered under the short-sleeve gray one. And your boots!! Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664867 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 02:08:25 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 664867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've done it again - worn something oversized and still looked chic. Wish I could. Sigh. </p> <p>Bravo for helping your friend and hope your eye gets better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664831 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 01:44:25 +0000 Jonesy 664831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds like such a fun day!! I'm sure you were so helpful to her, and now she can see her closet in a new way!</p> <p>This is a very stylish outfit to my eye. I love the short sleeves layered over the long striped ones. In the resort collections that just showed, there was a lot of layering like this and it looked very chic, so you are quite ahead of the curve, trend-wise :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664805 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 01:20:57 +0000 Jenava 664805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic, as always. Your friend is lucky to have such a stylish and willing resource! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664791 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 00:28:38 +0000 Parsley 664791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great MOTG outfit! I love the stripes peeking out around your sweater and your skinnies with boots. Perfect!<br /> Hope your eye feels better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664786 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 00:18:15 +0000 Anonymous 664786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this look on you.</p> <p>As for the eye, totally been there! My doc recommended putting undiluted baby shampoo on a warm, wet washcloth and swiping my eye from inner-to-outer, never using the same section of washcloth. I did this several times a day and it seemed to help without needing a prescription. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664782 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 00:13:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 664782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous casual look Deborah - it's like "easy chic". And how nice of you to share your YLF knowledge with your friend. Sounds like a productive and fun time!</p> <p>Have you gotten rid of your virus yet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-monday#post-664778 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 00:11:27 +0000 Deborah 664778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>Nothing super exciting but I wore this yesterday to a friends home where I spent the afternoon going through and organizing her wardrobe.</p> <p>We bagged up a lot of things to be donated and she was left with a closet with only wearable items all organized and easy to access. It was heaps of fun and I found myself sharing so many things I have learnt here at YLF.</p> <p>My friend is a SAH mum and her wardrobe is made up entirely of thrifted clothing. Just goes to show what is possible:)</p> <p>We were so busy I forgot to take photos but she now has some fab new combinations to wear and learnt how to modernize some older pieces... so much fun:). She even tried some subtle pattern mixing for the very first time!!</p> <p>Thanks for Letting me share and thanks for looking.</p> <p>xxx</p> <p>Deborah</p> <p>ps: please excuse my funny left eye. My cold has finally cleared up and now I have a mild eye infection!! Gotta love winter:) </p>
