My older son has just finished his degree so it’s a time if change.

I like your sporty outfits and the dresses equally well. The pants with heels looks very chic, too. I agree the yellow mules are terrific, and such a good complement with the bag. Best wishes to your son--and to you, in this transition! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291485 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 23:35:42 +0000 Sal 2291485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They were Suntiger - I have only worn them twice so far but they work with everything.&nbsp; Better for my closet than the green I coveted at the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291423 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 12:07:57 +0000 Anonymous 2291423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress outfits especially- big yay to lilac!

Love your looks but my faves are your dresses Sal, all 3 are genius-and the new one (lillac) a fab color for you (us?) blondes! I somehow&nbsp; agree you didn't chose the cobalt.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was never fond of cobalt for me, but&nbsp;succumbed to one broderie anglaise shirt dress from Zara early spring and comming summer&nbsp; was sad to find out (once again) is still&nbsp; too harsh on me and couldn't make myself to wering it all...:-(.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291323 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 19:34:47 +0000 Sal 2291323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Jenni- we have had that too!

I hear you about your son - I have three graduations this summer, which is a bit overwhelming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291247 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 01:00:12 +0000 Jenni NZ 2291247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh just a side comment re your son- that’s the degree my second daughter, now 28, has done. It’s not an easy degree but she has had a fab career so far and recently moved into a sales role which came with her choice of brand new company car. Not something I ever had at such a young age! She wanted to be part of a recognised profession and it has worked out well- although people initially kept thinking she was becoming a chef. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291242 Sat, 12 Nov 2022 23:45:49 +0000 Sal 2291242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all - I love the red shirt dress too kkards and Cardiff Girl- it's really good for occasions when I don't quite know what to wear (not too dressy, not too formal, cheerful etc).</p> <p>Thanks Bijou and Rachy - my Mum always wanted me to wear this colour and I wasn't into it at all - but suddenly I am. And thanks for the comments re the hair Bijou.</p> <p>Jussie - I think the yellow will be great with the lilac - I was dressing down for our local pub/bar with neighbours but will dress up next time!</p> <p>My son is quite confident and happy and ready to leave I think.&nbsp; He's going to study a Food Tech degree ( product development, science, nutirition, processing etc) and he is well suited to this and I think it's a really good choice for him. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291234 Sat, 12 Nov 2022 19:24:53 +0000 Cardiff girl 2291234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely!I paticularly like the red shirt dress.Sympathy to you about the son finishing high school,it feels like the end of an era doesn’t it?A bitter sweet moment ,one of the many in that journey of parenting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291204 Sat, 12 Nov 2022 14:48:00 +0000 kkards 2291204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, if you make me pick a fav, it would be the red dress! Fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291174 Sat, 12 Nov 2022 05:38:45 +0000 Bijou 2291174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first thing that jumped out at me is how much I love your new haircut. Your hair has always been fabulous and signature to your style, but this cut, with the tousled waves is so chic. Your summer dresses are beautiful and yes to wearing lavender - it is one of my best colours too. I don't think you necessarily need to take the dress in as in the height of summer, slightly oversized is cooling and this looks intentional and not that the dress is too big on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291173 Sat, 12 Nov 2022 05:36:34 +0000 jussie 2291173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits. I wonder if the mustard shoes would work nicely with the lilac dress too?<br /> A great week of wiws! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291172 Sat, 12 Nov 2022 05:27:19 +0000 rachylou 2291172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m completely fixated on the purple dress. You look amazing in this colour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291163 Sat, 12 Nov 2022 03:56:43 +0000 Sal 2291163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz!&nbsp; Your poor friend - it can be really hard.&nbsp; My older son moved away three years ago and has thrived - and I don't think he will come back home to live.&nbsp; The city where my younger son is moving is less likely to be a permanent move...</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291131 Sat, 12 Nov 2022 00:10:56 +0000 Suz 2291131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, a friend of mine is going through this with her daughter and is heartbroken, even though she *knows* it's the right move for her daughter.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway. I love your son just because he is called Hamish!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291130 Fri, 11 Nov 2022 23:55:51 +0000 Sal 2291130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! I loved all these dress looks too and have ways to tweak them with accessories. </p> <p>Thanks Helena. Now the weather is warmer it’s easy to get dressed in my spring and summer clothes,</p> <p>Thanks Suz. Yes I think a tweak will help. The smaller was good but an inch shorter… so the bodice felt in the wrong place. Yes Hamish is moving to college out of town in February. Gulp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291095 Fri, 11 Nov 2022 21:30:11 +0000 Suz 2291095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love the new mustard mules on you! Fabulous. Also, what a beautiful new dress! I agree it might need a little tuck in the underarm/bodice area. Gorgeous colour for you. Will also work with the mules.&nbsp;</p> <p>Congrats to your son -- and commiserations. They grow up fast.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291093 Fri, 11 Nov 2022 21:19:38 +0000 Helena 2291093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful set of outfits Sal ... Fresh and energetic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291091 Fri, 11 Nov 2022 21:11:23 +0000 Angie 2291091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sal</b>, when you wear dresses - it's just. so. good. Few things compare! KILLER x3!&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE the mango slides and bag complement! Striking, fun, pretty, and polished!</p> <p>Loving the new purple dress. It's modern, chic and playful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-socialising#post-2291080 Fri, 11 Nov 2022 19:59:12 +0000 Sal 2291080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had a busy couple of weeks. It’s been nice to be out and about again.</p> <p>1) worn to present certificates in my role as Chairperson of the Board for an athletics organisation. I wore the vintage 1974 Commonwealth Games shirt which the 91 year olds recognised - they are still sharp.<br /> 2) worn to get a haircut. I recreated this from a male instagram photo that I had seen.<br /> 3) dinner with friends. I wanted to wear my rediscovered heels and was in a rush. Sorry about the poor light.<br /> 4) an old favourite. Worn with new yellow Mules to a networking lunch.<br /> 5) a new dress. I wanted something that could work with sneakers or heels, for work or casual or low key evening. I was toying with two sizes and chose the larger to get length- but may get this taken in around the arms. I was keen on cobalt - but after looking in the mirror at myself in my lilac merino I realised how good this colour is for me. Lilac and green eyes really work together. I should have listened to my Mum.<br /> 6) worn to final assembly at school - my son has finished high school. I am definitely sad about it.</p> <p>The yellow mules were a good choice for me- I am finding them easy to mix in with lots of my existing wardrobe.</p> <p>Thanks for looking. </p>
