Those are so cool!!&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>ETA, I am so sorry about the lockdown....it's awfully hard. Wanted to add, I guess you have probably figured out I cannot come to NZ for my conference after all. I'm still presenting, but on Zoom, alas. Heartbroken, but sadder still that you have to endure restrictions, not to mention spreading disease. Hang in there.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2230157 Thu, 07 Oct 2021 20:22:19 +0000 Sal 2230157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn, Bijou, Janet and Katerina. It is fun to buy off friends - although I can buy more due to loyalty.</p> <p>At the moment since social occasions are few and far between I am dressing up more. I had hoped to wear my new dress for this dinner but the weather was cold and a jacket was needed so picked this in a rush. The camisole was final sale from Witchery and was a great steal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2230063 Thu, 07 Oct 2021 13:56:52 +0000 Katerina 2230063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the outfit are great and I am particularly drawn to the first one. The pants are superb and the whole outfits just perfect. Love it! Your friend makes wonderful and fun statement pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2230059 Thu, 07 Oct 2021 13:46:37 +0000 Janet 2230059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh fun!

You look pretty darn good in a sweatshirt. And very polished in outfit 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2229960 Thu, 07 Oct 2021 00:10:03 +0000 Carla 2229960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh! &nbsp;Really like the new pants in #1 and how you’ve styled the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2229944 Wed, 06 Oct 2021 22:21:38 +0000 Sal 2229944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sally!</p> <p>Shevia - thank you! These pants would suit you too.</p> <p>Star - the sweatshirt is cream and soft turquoise. Very much spring colours which is what drew me in. The silk blouse was made from a scarf that was a gift - I don’t wear it often but I do enjoy it. And yes the faux suit is black with rust camisole and shoes. I was going to wear black but mixed it up. I should have taken my brown vintage clutch but forgot about it in a rush. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2229770 Wed, 06 Oct 2021 08:43:52 +0000 Sally 2229770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all but love the casual vibe of 1 and the polished classy vibe of 3.&nbsp; Great to have a friend who designs clothes.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2229769 Wed, 06 Oct 2021 08:40:22 +0000 Star (Lise) 2229769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those crazy pants, and the first skirt in finds, they appeal to my quirky side :)&nbsp; Is that a light green stripe in pic 2?&nbsp; Unusual, pretty and useful.&nbsp; Faux suit is great, is it black and then are those brown shoes?&nbsp; I like the unexpected contrast.&nbsp; Coral tank is lovely and we know how coral suits you so very well.&nbsp; The silk top in finds is also really pretty and unusual.&nbsp; How cool to have a friend who makes such interesting clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2229732 Wed, 06 Oct 2021 01:27:04 +0000 Jaime 2229732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great new pants and smashing faux suit!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2229713 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 22:14:01 +0000 Sal 2229713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carol and JAileen....I am lucky the market is a close walk from my house.&nbsp; This time I bought salmon, eggs and oranges - and a pie for my Dad.&nbsp; Usually I buy bread as well - and I was hoping for early asparagus but was out of luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2229711 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 21:49:46 +0000 JAileen 2229711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Farmers market outfit is great! &nbsp;Second outfit is too. &nbsp;I’m wearing a green and white striped sweatshirt as I write this. &nbsp;Third outfit is distinguished by very cool jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2229710 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 21:41:38 +0000 CarolS 2229710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants look like a lot of fun, and I think it's great that you support your friend. She must be thrilled that some of her pieces are such workhorses for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2229702 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 21:27:49 +0000 Sal 2229702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I think it is that sporty casual edge that I like.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>And yes it is nice to support her creations - she buys deadstock fabric and makes them in her own home so it is sustainable.&nbsp; I have made a few mistakes along the way though- and a couple of years ago I couldn't find much that I liked.&nbsp; Her trousers always tend to work well, and my kimono and blush tee have been mainstays of my wardrobe for a few years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2229700 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 21:24:01 +0000 Angie 2229700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER Farmer's Market outfit!

You wear all sorts of different silhouettes so well. Do you mean you are back to lockdown? I'm sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2229677 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 20:12:31 +0000 Tanya 2229677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, Sal!&nbsp; I especially like the third one, very polished.&nbsp; &nbsp;The new pants are lots of fun and I like your styling with the sandals and hat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring--casual-and-dressy#post-2229676 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 19:57:11 +0000 Sal 2229676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all</p> <p>I added three new pieces to my wardrobe last week made by my friend who has her own label. These are all casual easy pieces that will work in our spring and summer.</p> <p>1). Farmers Market - casual crazy pants made by my friend. And a new hat to replace my beaten up one. Sadly an hour after this I found out we were back staying at home.<br /> 2). New striped sweatshirt. This was worn for Friday at work but I expect the sweatshirt to mostly be loungewear or easy to wear to and from yoga.<br /> 3) nothing new here - worn out for tapas to celebrate a friends birthday last week. It’s a faux suit and it was a contrast to everyone else who had high neck dresses and blouses ( really lovely ones too).</p> <p>I also added a blush linen shirt for hot days to wear with shorts or the above crazy pants.</p> <p>I am almost finished my summer shopping now- a light jacket, a couple of essential tees and some new shoes/ sandals are all I need. I think I have found the tees but not the jacket and sandals. </p> <p>Finds below are the pieces I currently have that my friend made with the addition of the three new pieces. I have my biggest successes and failures with her pieces - probably I take more risks due to our friendship but then some don’t pay off.</p> <p>Feedback, comments or styling ideas are welcome. </p>
