I'm still hoping to shop ethically too. Have only bought 2 things since then, both from local businesses based in NZ but they do still make in China. Over time will try to buy more NZ made. Slowing my purchases is the most sustainable thing I've done so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grown-up-work-style#post-1851367 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 06:07:59 +0000 Lyn D. 1851367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful as ever Deborah!<br /> I note your white bangle mimics the shape of the top in #2<br /> Black and white suit you so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grown-up-work-style#post-1851212 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 18:00:57 +0000 Lisa 1851212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun, to see the sandals styled 2 different ways.

Sending love and warm thoughts you way, not an easy time.</p> <p>Lol Gryffin, I adore EF designs and spend more time than I should confess to, pouring over pics on the internet and watching her little videos!&nbsp; The items are worth the money but then add shipping and it all becomes a bit much, so I seek out like minded designers here and do my best :)&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks so much Angie :)&nbsp; The Kimono is from last summer and I LOVE it.&nbsp; Works as a great cover up over swimmers too!&nbsp; Not sure I'll share that one tho lol.</p> <p>Right back at you Elizabeth xxx</p> <p>Hi Zaeobi thanks for the very kind words.&nbsp; If you love colour then I say wear it.. bet you have an awesome style all of your own.</p> <p>Diana, thank you :)&nbsp; It's a beautiful jacket and one I often reach for on special occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grown-up-work-style#post-1850674 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 17:23:07 +0000 Dianna 1850674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning!&nbsp; My favorite is the first outfit with the kimono jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grown-up-work-style#post-1850660 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 15:25:42 +0000 Zaeobi 1850660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love how you've managed to nail the architectural, avant-garde, minimalist look whilst still looking professional. </p> <p>I've always wanted to dress like this, but I'm too curvy, curly haired &amp; colour addicted to pull it off. It's refreshing to see how you've used white to balance out the black though, as well as a bold red lip. Your hair looks sleek &amp; works with the look, too. I'll be taking notes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grown-up-work-style#post-1850656 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 15:13:41 +0000 Elizabeth P 1850656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know you totally rock, imho.&nbsp; Particularly liking the first one.&nbsp; Nailed it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grown-up-work-style#post-1850650 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 14:55:59 +0000 Angie 1850650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is Killer. Gorgeous kimono over a column of black. Sandals look beautiful on your feet.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grown-up-work-style#post-1850591 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 09:54:03 +0000 gryffin 1850591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both ourfits are wonderful. Particularly love the first. Perfect elegant kimono. The proportions with the dress are perfect. Very professional, but interesting and unique. Also memorable. You clearly would stand out in the pack, but in the best possible way. That's often difficult to do clothes wise but you always nail it!! Second outfit is also great. Very EF in feel and you know I feel about her!! Super adorable sandals. They elevate any outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grown-up-work-style#post-1850582 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 08:43:17 +0000 lyn67 1850582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both so fab and interesting outfits, as usual! Esp. love the kimono but that local designer top is &nbsp;so different! I have bought me a simmilar but block heeled lace up sandal and really loved them. (I recently lost my Dear Mom:-(((... and I was not in the mood of wearing colors-not even whites!!- all this summer- but they did occasionall lift my spirits adding some interest to my all black (mourning) outfits....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grown-up-work-style#post-1850575 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 06:28:28 +0000 Deborah 1850575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jane :)&nbsp; I made a decision nearly 12 months ago to buy ethically produced fashion and focusing on locally made is a great way to do that.&nbsp; We have so many amazing people making beautiful clothing on our doorstep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grown-up-work-style#post-1850573 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 06:24:42 +0000 Jane 1850573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, so stylish! What great sandals! Lovely interesting pieces and good to wear local brands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grown-up-work-style#post-1850570 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 06:03:11 +0000 Deborah 1850570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A couple of work outfits! Monday I had meetings and Tuesday I was giving a presentation. I’m not a suit person so aimed for interesting and professional. Actually loved both of these and will definitely repeat :)</p> <p>1.<br /> Dress and Kimono by Aussie label Lulu Manna. Kimono from last Summer and Dress this year. </p> <p>2<br /> Top is local (based in my town) designer Mimi The Label and pants are Shortlist, both current season. </p> <p>Sandals are in their second summer I think. Cheapies but I love them. Planning on wearing them into the ground lol. </p> <p>Thanks for looking<br /> xxxDeborah </p>
