YLF. The oxfords and furry coat are great together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classic-or-trendy#post-2135529 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 10:30:24 +0000 Liesbeth 2135529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good! Lovely reminder that classic pieces can be updated by the addition of trendy footwear. I've been pondering your challenge but with a short beach stay (in our own country) coming up I've been otherwise preoccupied. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classic-or-trendy#post-2135500 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 03:44:23 +0000 slim cat 2135500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks lovely together! I think the necklace works well with a dress - right size and just enough bling. The watch and shoes are perfect for the outfit!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classic-or-trendy#post-2135485 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 02:53:40 +0000 rachylou 2135485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely classic pieces but a hip look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classic-or-trendy#post-2135481 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 02:39:19 +0000 Brooklyn 2135481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the shoes and the coat are the trendy items here. Plus the palette. 10 years ago the coat would have been grey - you know it’s true!!! The dress is classic.</p> <p>Cue featured oxfords &amp; loafers heavily in its styling this F/W and I think it’s a great look. That juxtaposition of menswear type shoes against ultra feminine pencil skirts and floral dresses. It started me thinking about them myself. Comfortable too.</p> <p>Anyhow, you nailed it and look gorgeous. Glad you got to celebrate </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classic-or-trendy#post-2135471 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 02:08:54 +0000 Jaime 2135471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like what Angie said - classic pieces, trendy styling.

I hope your birthday dinner was a blast. I'm a little envious, but mostly just happily living vicariously through those living in places where you can go out safely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classic-or-trendy#post-2135455 Sat, 25 Jul 2020 23:53:05 +0000 Jenni NZ 2135455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new Beau Coops loafers are definitely trendy. The faux fur still looks trendy I think even though it has been a few years they have been popular.<br /> Beau Coops are so nicely made. ( My cobalt patent boots are that brand.)<br /> Glad you had fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classic-or-trendy#post-2135448 Sat, 25 Jul 2020 23:37:26 +0000 Katerina 2135448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks fantastic on you and I really like the styling with the beige lace ups. You nailed it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classic-or-trendy#post-2135439 Sat, 25 Jul 2020 23:22:17 +0000 unfrumped 2135439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that whole look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classic-or-trendy#post-2135437 Sat, 25 Jul 2020 23:05:14 +0000 anne 2135437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad that you finally got a little birthday celebration.

Trendy styling. You rocked it! KILLER </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classic-or-trendy#post-2135434 Sat, 25 Jul 2020 22:53:41 +0000 Sal 2135434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend organised a birthday dinner belatedly for two of us who had birthdays in early June ( keep in mind I am NZ so this is allowed).</p> <p>As I haven’t dressed up in ages I wore my black lace dress (fourth wear) and my Mum’s cameo necklace. We were walking to the restaurant so I wore oxfords and the faux fur to keep me warm en route.</p> <p>To my mind this dress and necklace are very classic. Not in the find. But I think I made them look more modern by wearing the blush lace ups? But maybe not.</p> <p>We had a lovely night and I was grateful to be able to enjoy it. </p>
