Those tops are very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture/page/2#post-1716241 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 22:56:45 +0000 Brooklyn 1716241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenn! You are right, because the skirt is high waisted, it is only a small gap when I lift my arms above my shoulders. I won't be wearing it with my mid rise jeans! Thanks for being my model And do check out FP. They have a lot of stuff that I find too young and short for me, but a few gems.<br /> And thanks Xtabay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture/page/2#post-1716226 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 22:02:27 +0000 Jenn 1716226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have that fantasy ski lodge life, too! You'd think, living in Colorado, that it might be a reality for me, but I don't even know how to ski.</p> <p>I love all your outfits, and you've inspired me to give FreePeople a try. Your layering is super, and that umbrella is making me happy. I'm also really glad that BP blouse worked out for you! I think you wear more high-waisted bottoms than I do, so along with a cami, that probably helps a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture/page/2#post-1715484 Wed, 17 Aug 2016 12:53:26 +0000 Anonymous 1715484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just jumping in late to saying these looks are 1000% fabulous, and that I'm crushing hard on the cuffed Free People top.&nbsp; Keep inspiring us with your looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture/page/2#post-1715453 Wed, 17 Aug 2016 11:07:16 +0000 Brooklyn 1715453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aussie gals </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture/page/2#post-1715431 Wed, 17 Aug 2016 10:15:55 +0000 Helen11 1715431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gold medal material : )<br />You always look amazing, and that umbrella is the icing on the cake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture/page/2#post-1715414 Wed, 17 Aug 2016 09:13:01 +0000 Cococat 1715414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As always, you look amazing Brooklyn.

And I aspire to be more like my dog! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture/page/2#post-1715300 Wed, 17 Aug 2016 02:03:32 +0000 Angie 1715300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH. I just LOVE the story behind your doggie's name (s). Thanks for sharing. And I thought your name was Brooklyn!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1715268 Wed, 17 Aug 2016 00:58:58 +0000 Brooklyn 1715268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alas AG, no thumbholes! I would love that too! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1715266 Wed, 17 Aug 2016 00:47:05 +0000 catgirl 1715266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Embellished cuffs!&nbsp; Does it have thumbholes?&nbsp; Am totally in love with all your looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1715264 Wed, 17 Aug 2016 00:45:16 +0000 Brooklyn 1715264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks FC! We cross posted. Glad to hear the love for no 5. I also wear the&nbsp;thermal top under a black sleeveless tunic from time to time. Alas, as much as I love it, it is generally too warm for me to wear it here. That's why I need a ski lodge holiday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1715263 Wed, 17 Aug 2016 00:40:58 +0000 Brooklyn 1715263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Glad to hear all the love for the new floral skirt plus the jackets. And also&nbsp;the ella, ella, under my umber-rella. It was a gift from my husband (much hinted at).</p> <p>Diane, thank you,&nbsp;you are so sweet. And&nbsp;you have a great eye for detail. Yes, a curved hem on a sweater dress is unusual. I like the hem because it showcases the OTK boots.</p> <p>Suz, the necklace is from Witchery (a chain store here). It is a white disc (resin I think) that looks like marble. See pic below.&nbsp;It is a bit of a change for me. I visited it in store 4 times before buying it. My husband calls it my funny white circle necklace. He is intimately familiar with it because I have dropped it twice and broken it, and both times he has repaired it. Thank you for&nbsp;noticing it.</p> <p>JAileen, thank you. And snap!&nbsp;I was watching the men on the rings when I posted last night! Weren't they fantastic. And no rain for 80 days? I hope your water supply is OK. We are on town water but we have a tank for back up. Drought is not uncommon here and then there are usually tough water restrictions.</p> <p>Skylurker, ha ha!&nbsp;I am not actually a big sports fan (which is very un-Australian) but I love the Olympics.&nbsp;The simplicity of it appeals to me (fastest, highest, farthest).&nbsp;And thank you for your comments. I know my style is quite different from yours, I appreciate it :)</p> <p>Maneera, thank you. You have a pretty&nbsp;lovely wardrobe yourself :)</p> <p>Angie, thanks for the K! Ms B's name comes from Brooklyn (her real name and the source of my moniker). She was named after the Brooklyn Bridge. Like&nbsp;most Australians, we are fond of nicknames, and rarely actually call her Brooklyn. So she gets Ms B, Boo, Brooks, Little Miss and String Bean (because she is long and skinny). And of course "darling". I do call her darling but my husband forbids me to do it at the dog park (so embarrassing!)</p> <p>Sally, you are right!&nbsp;I have friends going to Queenstown again next month but I don't think I will be able to take time off work to go because I am too busy (she says sheepishly while typing at work). But I would love to go again. And the Italian Alps? That would be very nice indeed. And thanks for the ombre jacket suggestion :)</p> <p>And thank you Anchie, Bijou, Shevia, Murph11, Smittie, Kristin L, Tanya, chewyspaghetti, Cerinda, Ledonna, Diana, Dana, Rachy, Angela K and Shedev.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1715258 Wed, 17 Aug 2016 00:33:27 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1715258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these are just fantastic, Brooklyn. I'm with Angie--I about fainted at #5. What a clever way to wear that thermal top with the detailed cuffs. The necklace adds to the artful look, and your black boots add to the sleek and laid-back look. Your new green leather jacket is divine over your skirt outfit! And I really like that burgundy satchel--I like the shape and the stitching detail on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1715143 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 20:20:43 +0000 shedev 1715143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All great outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1715141 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 20:16:51 +0000 Angela K 1715141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Maneera said.&nbsp; Your style is amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1715137 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 20:14:32 +0000 Sal 1715137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning Brooklyn, Of course I love the ombré with the new skirt, but the others are equally great. I love the textures here!!</p> <p>You have your silhouettes nailed, they suit you so well.</p> <p>You need to holiday in Wanaka or Queenstown annually or maybe the Italian Alps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1715060 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 18:46:26 +0000 rachylou 1715060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want that first skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1715049 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 18:34:12 +0000 skylurker 1715049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What olympics? ;)<br /> Love the umbrella ella ella.<br /> Love everything, actually, the graphic black&amp;white, the flattering autumnal colours, the fluid tops over lean skirts silhouettes and wow, that's a really great ski lodge dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1715006 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 17:21:26 +0000 Dana 1715006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all your outfits! I have a couple of similar pieces, so I'm highly inspired, although it will be a few months before it's cool enough to wear them. Fab knee high boots-you appear to be tall and they hit you in a great spot!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1714993 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 17:10:46 +0000 Maneera 1714993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Brooklyn. You're lucky you're so tall and thin. Or I honestly would steal EVERYTHING IN YOUR WARDROBE!!!! I love all 3 outfits and it's literally impossible to pick a fav...they are all THAT good. The crossover top - perfect. The knit dress - drool worthy. The leather jacket - just stunning. The ombré jacket - drop dead gorgeous. </p> <p>Sigh. I love your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1714977 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 16:51:24 +0000 Diana 1714977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As usual, I am in love with every one of these outfits.&nbsp; #5 in particular is incredible.&nbsp; I want it to be winter here so I can copy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1714974 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 16:46:38 +0000 Ledonna N. 1714974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just such a fantastic wadrobe.

LOVE.&nbsp;</p> <p>All outfits are Killer - and my fave is #5. WOW.&nbsp;</p> <p>And do share with me the story behind your doggie's name Mrs. B.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1714887 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 14:37:44 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1714887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice- I like it all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1714884 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 14:33:52 +0000 JAileen 1714884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your ombre and green jackets, and your fantasy outfit. I never wore a dress at a ski lodge but if I did, that outfit looks great!</p> <p>Very pretty umbrella. We haven't had any rain in over 80 days. :(</p> <p>I'm loving the Olympics, too. I watched some men's gymnastics last night. Their routines on the rings especially are amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-texture#post-1714880 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 14:27:10 +0000 Tanya 1714880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This post makes me feel like a kid in the candy store.&nbsp; Love everything and I don't know where to look first! The colors, the patterns, the layering, the gorgeous umbrella... Wow!&nbsp; I may have to come back later and study everything in greater detail. </p>
