Looks as if the new sandals are working really well for you. You look great in the skirt as well. I guessed right on the back to front, too -- but it works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754886 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 00:50:13 +0000 Sal 1754886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lady!</p> <p>Shedev, thank you. &nbsp;It is funny how giant objects are a bit of a tourist attraction. &nbsp;In towns near me there are<br />- A Giant Carrot (Ohakune)<br />- A Giant Soft Drink Bottle (Paeroa, for L&amp;P)</p> <p>Australia has a Big Banana, a Giant Pineapple plus I am sure many many more.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754826 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 21:55:52 +0000 shedev 1754826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three. <br />Since Cleveland is home to the rock and roll hall of fame, we had painted giant guitars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754784 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 19:35:53 +0000 lady 1754784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Despite the blahs, you look great. I particularly love your new jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754775 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 19:31:29 +0000 Sal 1754775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie, I don't have many skirts (four in total, but two are very rarely worn), and it is fun to change things up.</p> <p>El Cee - I loved the jacket too. &nbsp;The cows are in a small farm which is very agriculturally based, and there are lots (maybe 30) spread around the town decorated in different style. &nbsp;One of these is a Rotary one, ones by the Sports Shop have sporting scenes, by the Pharmacy they have sticking plasters etc..</p> <p>Shevia - the strawberries were gorgeous, peak season right now.</p> <p>Joy- that is a fun idea re auctioning off the cows - I am now sure where I would put one though - although if you lived on a large block it could be fun!</p> <p>Thanks Rachylou:)</p> <p>Thanks Astrid, the black and white was my favourite by far. &nbsp;The skirt was an experiment as I am not a tucker, and I haven't been wearing many belts lately except with jeans. &nbsp;And I love the red silk blouse and don't wear it enough. &nbsp;For me I like to have three or four quick work looks I can throw on in a rush. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754682 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 09:04:23 +0000 Astrid 1754682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm guessing the black top in #5? Anyway, it all looks great! I especially like the black &amp; white combination. Love the pics of the cows too. We used to have tons of painted bears in Berlin, there are still a few left. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754670 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 05:11:58 +0000 rachylou 1754670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All good, but I really love the outfit in 4 especially. And the cows! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754666 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 04:33:58 +0000 Anonymous 1754666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shevia said, and El Cee. We had painted cows done by local artists on display a few years ago. They were auctioned off to raise money for charity and some ended up donated to elementary schools. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754654 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 03:35:13 +0000 Jaime 1754654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous as do the strawberries! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754639 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 02:09:14 +0000 El Cee 1754639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three outfits are stunning... and look plenty "inspired" to my eyes. I especially love #7 -- the new Kilt jacket was a fabulous find. You also look particularly lovely in the skirt ensemble.</p> <p>We had the colorful painted cows in our neck of the woods a few years ago -- a temporary exhibit. So fun!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754619 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 01:44:36 +0000 Angie 1754619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful Sally, despite your "lack of inspiration". I love #1. Those proportions look gorgeously elegant and regal. Very fun to see you in a skirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754612 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 01:15:41 +0000 Sal 1754612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn for the win!! &nbsp;I got dressed in a rush and didn't realise until about 2pm - well after the photo!! &nbsp;I agree, some jewellery could have lifted that look. &nbsp;I rated it about 6/5/10.</p> <p>Thanks Donna - the strawberries were absolutely divine!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754609 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 01:03:41 +0000 Brooklyn 1754609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might add I intentionally wear some of my things back to front. Why not. But maybe not Joy's plaid shirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754608 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 01:01:05 +0000 Brooklyn 1754608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Kilt jacket is glorious on you! I love it. And it works perfectly with your hair and earrings. Very elegant! I am guessing the black top is back to front with the uniqlo pants. Looks good though. I agree with the crop. Maybe add a necklace? I like your interview outfit. That midi skirt length suits you and works well with the high shaft sandals. I have a real sweet eye for that look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754607 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 00:59:25 +0000 MTBGirl 1754607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delicious looking strawberries! We have painted horses in our city like your beautiful cows.&nbsp;<br />I like your interview outfit and guess that it's that skirt that's worn backwards. You did the belt nicely.&nbsp;<br />I agree with the cropping of the pants in #5 for a more streamlined look unless you just want to continue to roll.<br />I think you appear very inspired and look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-new-and-more-maximal-and-back-to-front#post-1754602 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 00:20:47 +0000 Sal 1754602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week I got around to taking three sets of WIW pictures. &nbsp;The weather was gorgeous, a very pleasant change as our spring has been super changeable.</p> <p>1) Yum - strawberries!!</p> <p>2 and 3) Painted cows in a small town near where I live...</p> <p>4) For an interview (I was interviewer, not the interviewee). &nbsp;This black and grey skirt is 8 years old, the belt is also 8 years old, and the red silk blouse is 6 years old. &nbsp;The sandals were purchased last summer. &nbsp;A bit of pattern mixing (flowers and spots) and adding a belt, which I am rusty at doing.</p> <p>5) For a work from home day. &nbsp;New pants from Uniqlo on the Gold Coast, new bone sandals from Witchery, a one year old black knit from Jacqui E. &nbsp;I think I should crop these pants to where the roll is.</p> <p>6-7) For a Vietnamese meal out with friends. &nbsp;A revamp of the black top, my trusty black crops, the same sandals, and a new jacket from a local place called Kilt. &nbsp;I intended to buy a cardigan, but fell in love with the jacket, did I make the right call? &nbsp;I felt this looked better in the reality than in the photo.</p> <p>One of these outfits features an item worn back to front - by mistake!! &nbsp;Any guesses?</p> <p>I have not been terribly clothing inspired recently - it has been too cold. &nbsp;My hair needs a cut and colour, and I look tired. &nbsp;I am trying to exercise a bit more and eat a bit less but not really succeeding.</p> <p>Your comments and suggestions are welcome.</p> </p>
