You may find this season difficult for dressing, but you look amazing. My favorites are 2, 8, and 9.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have you always been a blouse tucker, or is that something you're coming back to recently? I haven't tucked for years, but suddenly... </p> <p>(Also, I love going to kids' sporting events, even if it means bundling up and sitting on bleachers or wet grass. My kiddo has largely given up on the sports for theatre, though, so that's definitely a bit more fun for the wardrobe.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848246 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 17:40:18 +0000 Suz 1848246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are fantastic boots! Love the mod vibe you can get with them and an A-Line dress. Fun! And the 70s turn is equally wonderful. You will wear these to death.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look sensational in flares. My faves here are #2, #5, #8, and #9.&nbsp;</p> <p><div>Congrats to your son!</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848245 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 17:28:17 +0000 always trying 1848245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All fab.

And you need to wear them with dresses and a-line skirts everyday. This is such a great look on you - all of a sudden your look just shines when the pictures switch to those ensembles . You were meant to rock the 70's flower child looks &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848186 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 13:46:48 +0000 Angie 1848186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer all round. (You're a fab sports-supporting Mum too). Your hair has a gorgeous shape to it, Sal. Nice crop.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LOVING</b> the '70s sensibility. Suits you to a tee. #5, 8 and 9 are my faves here.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848152 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 11:55:51 +0000 Carla 1848152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You've lucked out with your new items - and looking fabulous, btw! The flared jeans and the skirts with a flare at the bottom are especially good. Your 'do is fabulous and I like the way you are able to change it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848148 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 11:38:52 +0000 skylurker 1848148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're a saint, going to all the sport events :)<br /> You look great in all outfits. The jeans, in particular, are super flattering (maybe length would look better with flats?) - both tucked and untucked tops work.<br /> I have a fondness for #6, looks relaxed, neat, modern, love how you chose the accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848121 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 08:53:06 +0000 lyn67 1848121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all as they are so great, Sally! The new boots are sensational in both outfits styled to, wow am so envious! I just have wider calves than to look fab in lighter colored knee high boots...:-(<br />My faves are nr 1 and the last 2, AND of course, nr 4:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848114 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 08:29:04 +0000 Style Fan 1848114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots are fantastic.&nbsp; They look great with the skirt and the dress.&nbsp; I love the flares.&nbsp; The all black look really suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848113 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 08:27:35 +0000 Brooklyn 1848113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a busted link Sally! Are they the Horatio long boots? The AU website price is much more than the NZ website price. Very cheeky! I think I visited this store in Queenstown </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848103 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 06:05:15 +0000 rachylou 1848103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I LOVE the boots!

Details please? I know what you mean about them being hard to find. I have been looking for a new taupe or tan coloured knee high pair for 2 years now (I still like my taupe pair but they are getting long in the tooth and the internal lining is tearing). I love 8 and 9. And the new flares in 2 and 5 are delish. I like 70s too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848077 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 02:02:28 +0000 Jaime 1848077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dark flares are a great addition and look super in both outfits. Love the sort of mod look with the new boots and dress too. Congratulations to your son! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848072 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 01:43:36 +0000 Sal 1848072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kerlyn. &nbsp;Getting boots with a block heel of about 1.5-2 inches, to my knee, in a brown, in a classic 70s style was hard. &nbsp;In the end they cost about $120 NZD and I spent $60 on a back gusset - but this is still a pretty good deal for boots here and my calves are always a tight point for jeans and boots.</p> <p>It is fun to wear flares again - I plan to wear them a lot in spring (when the weather obliges) and then again in fall/autumn (when it is often sunny for weeks on end). &nbsp;Even in summer with a wedge sandal to BBQ nights.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the nice feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848068 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 01:30:38 +0000 kerlyn 1848068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh Sal, all of these are so good. &nbsp;Not sure I could pick a favorite. But those flares are fantastic on you! &nbsp;Your legs look a mile long. &nbsp; Both 2 and 5 work beautifully (either tucked or untucked top), in my opinion. &nbsp;I also really love 8 and 9. &nbsp;Beautiful boots, and they work so well with the midi length OR the above the knee dress. &nbsp;SO good!!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-fresh-silhouettes#post-1848064 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 01:20:34 +0000 Sal 1848064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All</p> <p>I haven't been around much the last week or two due to a busy schedule but have popped in briefly a couple of times.</p> <p>I have however done some end of winter shopping.... &nbsp;I love the 70s looks that Angie posted a few weeks back and decided to judiciously add some for winter next year - but since spring has not arrived here yet I can still wear them for a couple more weeks here.</p> <p>September and October are the hardest months for dressing for me. Winter lingers, and we want to wear spring clothes, but it is not warm enough and often wet and windy. &nbsp;This year has been mostly wet - oh so wet. &nbsp; &nbsp;And rugby and soccer seasons finished last week and Jon raced at the velodrome so there has been a lot of sport watching.</p> <p>Anyway here are some outfits. &nbsp;I have been trying a few new shapes - mixed in with some older familiar ones. &nbsp;There are a few repeats from other WIW - I love repeats:) &nbsp;</p> <p>1) Nothing new here but some spring colour on a dreary day. &nbsp;I prefer this blouse without the jacket but I think it passes with it. &nbsp;(work)</p> <p>2) First wear of new dark indigo flares. &nbsp;Worn with ink sweater, a locket, and old tote and camel boots. &nbsp;A very safe combination to wear flares for the first time in a while.(Work)</p> <p>3) Black bell sleeve dress with leggings and flats (work)</p> <p>4) At the rugby on a very dreary day. &nbsp;My son's team won - hence the medals.</p> <p>5) Flares worn in a braver way with a tucked in blouse (I know I know) and old tote and sandal boots. &nbsp;I liked it because the blouse is very soft and easy to tuck (work)</p> <p>6) All in black with silver shoes (work)</p> <p>7) &nbsp;More black, trying the A line with a tucked in blouse, &nbsp;Same sandal boots and bag as before. &nbsp;Wore two cuffs. &nbsp;I received a couple of compliments on this look - the skirt is 8 years old, the blouse 4, and the shoes 3. &nbsp;Worn for Jon's birthday dinner out to a very casual Malaysian restaurant.</p> <p>8) My new boots!! &nbsp;I purchased some suede brown boots on sale and altered them. &nbsp;Wearing them for the first time with the same A line skirt as above, and the same black top. &nbsp;They are quite fitted and I think will be best with skirts and dresses, not skinny jeans. &nbsp;But being suede with a heel I wanted them for this reason. &nbsp;These have been a hewi for two years now and I love them!!</p> <p>9) &nbsp;Same boots with the wine red dress.</p> <p>I do have a wildcard purchase which I plan to style and show in the next week. &nbsp;</p> <p>Off to comment and read up a bit today.</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Sally </p> <p>eta: &nbsp;Pic quality is not great sorry - not sure why.</p>
