Florals are so gorgeous on you, you really glow in these colors!</p> <p>One more yes vote on those aviators (is it really a vote, though? Or a foregone conclusion? ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring/page/2#post-2238614 Sun, 14 Nov 2021 18:44:04 +0000 Star (Lise) 2238614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Especially love the striped skirt outfit - so playful and stylish all at once. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238496 Sat, 13 Nov 2021 20:06:44 +0000 Sal 2238496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Katerina - that’s very kind. I do like variety - especially in warm weather.</p> <p>Lisa - thanks. I feel as though I have relaxed with my clothing and got more confident. And yes I am lucky that sunglasses tend to suit me - especially in our climate. I just wish my hair was cut…. I may even attack it myself.</p> <p>Haha Bijou and Jenni! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238403 Sat, 13 Nov 2021 10:44:16 +0000 Katerina 2238403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous set of outfits, you look gorgeous. You have such a great variety of colors and silhouettes here and yet everything is very cohesive and very you. I love your monicker - it is perfect for your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238359 Sat, 13 Nov 2021 03:44:47 +0000 Anonymous 2238359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have solidified your style , that’s for sure , and sticking to your tried and true colour palette makes it that much better . I really love that pleated striped skirt on you - and with the sneakers it’s so modern . And I agree with Angie’s love for your sunglasses . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238355 Sat, 13 Nov 2021 03:06:45 +0000 Bijou 2238355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to be your Charlie's Angel side-kick. Glam dresses, cocktails and beating up villains, it does not get better than that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238353 Sat, 13 Nov 2021 03:02:46 +0000 Jenni NZ 2238353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking of Tom Cruise: we had fun in Skipper’s Canyon near Queenstown in 2019 looking at the bridge he flew the helicopter under in one of the Mission Impossible movies- it was filmed there! And so was an important LOTR scene further down the same river, where the Black Riders got swept away by the flood. You would indeed look cool in your aviators with him </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238268 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 20:15:09 +0000 Sal 2238268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jonesy- I do like variety and current silhouettes are to my taste. In the years of skinnies and tunics I struggled a lot more.</p> <p>Thanks Tanya- it was a good choice by our Australian Angie.</p> <p>Janet - yes I agree, mostly wearing your palette makes dressing cohesive and does work. I still do love black but am really trying to limit it. </p> <p>Thank you Helena- I love it too.</p> <p>Thanks Lyn - they are fun to wear!!</p> <p>Robyn - florals are always right in spring. It’s just a case of finding the right ones.</p> <p>Approprio - I did change the lacing to a ladder style. They are easing a bit too. I think with colour palettes it takes a while to find pieces in both the colour and the style you like. Maybe less so if you can sew. Some years the spring palette can be a little too saccharine - and either feel too 1950s lady on a committee or Sandy from Grease. I am getting there.</p> <p>Brooklyn - the floral prints by MLM are stunning - I love the silk ones. I have been sitting on my hands though as I don’t need more summer florals …. Yet. I would have loved to ride with Tom in 1988 but I think the moment has passed. I think we may clash over a few issues but he would be handy if I needed rescuing from a train or helicopter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238215 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 16:51:34 +0000 Jonesy 2238215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in these colors and you wear different silhouettes so well! I love the first look and you look really gorgeous in the vivid orange of the last dress, but each of these is fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238207 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 16:35:45 +0000 Tanya 2238207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Th wrap dress is gorgeous and suits you so well - great job Brooklyn!&nbsp; All the other outfits are great, too, the colors are well chosen and flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238174 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 14:38:55 +0000 Janet 2238174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed that leaning into your “spring” colors really seems to work for you (coming from a winter who has learned the same!). </p> <p>I think my favorites are the two dresses — you look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238165 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 14:09:40 +0000 Helena 2238165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely love these springy, fresh colours on you Sal! Love all the outfit, but the print dress ... cream of the crop! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238155 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 13:23:56 +0000 lyn67 2238155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF in all of these, and wow here are the gorgeous grandpa sneakers in action-love it!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238152 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 13:17:28 +0000 RobinF 2238152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great! I really love the first two, agree with Sally, I think it is the florals. Also love the wide leg pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238146 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 12:59:08 +0000 approprio 2238146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks, perfect colors. I’ve found it really interesting to “lean in” to the Deep Winter color palette,&nbsp;so to speak. Once you find the right one, it can make a lot of sense.&nbsp;</p> <p>Veja’s are fab. Did you change the lacing pattern?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238128 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 09:51:28 +0000 Brooklyn 2238128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How good is that dress I’ve been watching that label for new arrivals. I like the vibe.</p> <p>Love your style and my favourite here (besides the obvious no 2) is no 1. And I agree with Angie - aviators really suit you! A signature element, I think. </p> <p>Maybe you should ditch the crime solving and go for a motor bike ride with Tom Cruise </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238123 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 08:52:17 +0000 Sal 2238123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sally! Love the florals too.</p> <p>Jenni - the jeans and the floral dress were work from home, the rest working at work. The floral dress has a bit of cleavage so that’s not an office dress. I only wear the orange at work mostly because there is no need for hi vis with this dress! The rest would be either. $300 is a lot - I have paid that much I admit - but you need to be confident you really will love and wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238117 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 07:26:24 +0000 Jenni NZ 2238117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t tell which days are work days and which home days! Do you do what I do and wear similar clothes for either?<br /> I am a Spring too and like your colours, especially the skirt with yellow and the orange dress. I saw a stunning orange dress in Shore City on Wednesday from Cue. But it was $300! I have only paid that sort of money for a ball dress or the silk suit for my only sister’s wedding before ( other than my own wedding dress which cost more).<br /> Our warmer weather is great. I am wearing sandals </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238102 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 04:15:44 +0000 Sally 2238102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look great and I love how you have managed to steer away from black.&nbsp; The first two are my favourite and I think it is because the florals give a freshness to the outfits.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238095 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 02:55:56 +0000 Sal 2238095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy...</p> <p>Bijou - I had some lovely friends over for drinks on our deck yesterday and wore the dress.&nbsp; It was a gorgeous afternoon and I was pleased to have something special to wear.&nbsp; And that's me - ready to seduce a villain whilst solving a crime.....I need a sidekick - your martial arts skills could be very useful?</p> <p>Thanks Shevia.&nbsp; I actually was going to add energetic to my descriptor.&nbsp; Not that I am an athlete - but I do like a bit of sportiness in my clothing.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238085 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 02:25:32 +0000 rachylou 2238085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Esp loving the florals here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238076 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 01:49:24 +0000 Bijou 2238076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn did a great job with that dress, it is just stunning on you. I need to wear my new dress. I have a late lunch with drinks with a favourite client next week, so I think it is the perfect event for my new dress.</p> <p>I see Grown up Charlies Angel in all of these. You look fun and ready for action! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-spring#post-2238073 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 01:39:19 +0000 Jaime 2238073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your moniker - it really ties up your style and energy (as seen through the internet) for me.
