The dcsrf really works great. I think I like this thinner scarf as looks more open.<br /> I love your low- profile sneakers!

So flattering on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143710 Fri, 11 Sep 2020 20:56:13 +0000 Anonymous 2143710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like everything although I can't see the top under blazer in 1 very well so can't judge condition.</p> <p>The blazers are both great, you look great in black and also mustard. I also like the black floral top very much.</p> <p>I always wear crew necks so I know how comfortable and practical they are but I'm struck by how flattering a v neck is on you, especially under another layer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143680 Fri, 11 Sep 2020 17:33:45 +0000 rachylou 2143680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I particularly love the cropped pants suit look (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143429 Thu, 10 Sep 2020 12:28:34 +0000 RobinF 2143429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great outfits.

That scarf is sublime, and more so since it's sentimental. KILLER sunnies too!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like your white bottoms and high contrast looks best. To my eye, it's extra flattering with your complexion.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143304 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 17:02:00 +0000 JAileen 2143304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the red and white one. &nbsp;It’s so fresh. &nbsp;The others are great, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143299 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 16:59:15 +0000 Cardiff girl 2143299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The mustard jacket is a great colour on you.l think that you do “uniform “dressing really well.Each outfit is flattering and different to the one before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143223 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 12:11:05 +0000 Bijou 2143223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All great outfits. I love how you put your wardrobe together, so you get a variety of combinations. The new blazers are fab, great fit and the mustard is a wonderful colour on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143215 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 11:54:37 +0000 Star (Lise) 2143215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourites and the two outfits in pic # 3; the red &amp; white, and the mustard over a column of navy - both so glamorous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143194 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 08:21:52 +0000 Minaminu 2143194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! You look smart and comfortable at the same time! </p> <p>I really liked how you styled the camisol, very smart and glam! I think you are one of lucky ones who can wear mustard yellow, it works very well with your colouring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143186 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 04:51:14 +0000 slim cat 2143186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks! Love your jackets - all of them !<br />Agree that gold buttons on the black blazer is fantastic. Mustard blazer with lighter pieces ( pic#1 ) is special - fav outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143184 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 04:47:49 +0000 Jenni NZ 2143184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all great as well. They all look like “you” to me and I’m impressed with the quality of the two thrifted blazers.<br /> The bow black blouse still looks good in the pics but no guilt if you think it is deteriorating after 11 years right?! I also have a few things that old. Your mother’s scarf is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143182 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 04:39:21 +0000 Sal 2143182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kelly - the jacket is probably between yellow and mustard - I find it easy to incorporate which I guess is a sign it is the right yellow!!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Brooklyn - camel would work but I don't quite have the right pieces.&nbsp; I might try tomorrow with camel boots and scarf, with denim.&nbsp; I don't know why I struggle so much with it but I find it a bit tricky to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143178 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 04:21:25 +0000 Brooklyn 2143178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scored with that black jacket!</p> <p>I’m not sure why the red jacket is neglected. Have you tried it with camel? Either with jeans or with black? It looks great.</p> <p>My favourite here is 4. Love the palette. </p> <p>YLF in all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143175 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 04:13:24 +0000 kellygirl 2143175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfits. I love the yellow jacket in both iterations--in one it looks mustard and the other it looks yellow. Whatever color it is, it looks fab. You are so pretty in the column of dark neutrals too. Modern and stylish with some glam thrown in--love your choice of footwear too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143166 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 02:45:50 +0000 Sal 2143166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Cocolion.&nbsp; I wasn't sure on the red and white - so pleased you liked it.&nbsp; I am trying to transition to lighter brighter warmer colours but often am drawn to the dark side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143162 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 02:21:48 +0000 CocoLion 2143162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's not a miss here ... these are all great outfits. &nbsp;My favorite is the red and white in picture three, which you've indicated is nothing new, but I love the crisp red and white color scheme on you. &nbsp;I also think the new-to-you black jacket is fantastic, the gold buttons break up the black and shape the jacket well. &nbsp;I like the mustard jacket best when it is worn with lighter (picture 1) rather than darker colors, probably just a personal preference. &nbsp;#4 is very on trend with the sneakers and rain topper. &nbsp;You wear cropped pants among the best of them with your long legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-old-neglected-and-treasured#post-2143155 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 01:32:25 +0000 Sal 2143155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>It is very early spring here and I am trying to get some wear from a few neglected pieces.&nbsp; But I also have three new to me pieces (two preloved and one new new) to wear.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Whilst 1st September is the first day of spring, it doesn't feel like true spring until the equinox usually.&nbsp; However I will put away some cool weather pieces this weekend and pull out some spring items.&nbsp; I will switch over the rest in a month to six weeks.&nbsp; Much of my wardrobe is trans seasonal so it is not a big job.</p> <ul> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>new black preloved blazer, an old top that might have done its time, jeans and boots worn for work.</li> <li>new mustard preloved blazer worn with older pink top, jeans and oxfords combo.&nbsp; This colour way reminds me of Angie.</li> <li> <p>new black preloved blazer with new polka dot camisole, with older black pants and heels. Worn to a meal with my special friends last night. </p> </li> <li>nothing new here in this red and white work outfit.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li>mustard preloved blazer over a column of navy,&nbsp; Worn with an inherited vintage Nouvelle Caledonia scarf from my Mum.&nbsp; I have never worn it before but I liked it here.</li> <li>Nothing new here either.&nbsp; The pants and blouse are often worn together - but for the first time with sneakers.</li> </ul> <p>New - mustard blazer, black blazer, polka dot camisole<br /> Neglected - red leather jacket, pink blouse, black leaf print blouse, black bow tie blouse<br /> Treasured - inherited scarf<br /> Old - everything else</p> <p>A few close ups to show the scarf, camisole (and I am wearing earrings!) and the texture of the bow tie blouse.&nbsp; This is 11 years old and the texture is deteriorating.&nbsp; It might be time to say farewell.</p> <p>Thanks for looking.</p>
