I totally lost my own thread and came back to find such lovely comments from all of you! Thank you!</p> <p>I think my little photo bomber is the star of the show too ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>@Jaime - These hoop earrings are my new secret weapon! Along with the haircut, they make me feel so cool (which I have never ever been.) Really, with your thrifting, your haircut and your hoops, you are single handedly responsible for my 2019 style ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>@Sal I'm with you. I like a little bit of trendy sometimes but not too much.</p> <p>@Smittie thank you! I was a little hesitant when Angie recommended that dress, too - but like you, I didn't find it too clingy when i tried it on. It's a summer workhorse now...</p> <p>Thank you all for your lovely comments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2044032 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 14:34:32 +0000 Anonymous 2044032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your little photo bomber, and you are the master of thrifting (along w Shevia of course)! The first outfit is my favorite, because I love that white jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2043938 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 09:12:35 +0000 Jaime 2043938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot tell you how delightful I find this post. Quite proud too that I might have inspired your amazing hair and incorporation of second hand finds - and earrings! Squee!&nbsp;<br />With that said I am coming to steal all your patterned and more casual clothes and only leaving you the more formal things because I have no where to wear them! Am examining for how I can copy from my closet when I get home. You are gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2043821 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 00:43:54 +0000 Sal 2043821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a stunning collection Roxanna.&nbsp; You look wonderful in all of them but my special favourites are 5-8 (and the dress, and the last - so pretty much the lot).</p> <p>I also relate to your statement&nbsp;</p> <p><i>Trend</i><i>y doesn't feel authentic on me and is usually not luxe enough for me, so I always feel uncomfortable in it.</p> <p></i>I do like a bit of trendy but probably only a bit in each outfit.&nbsp; And yes trendy rarely equates to luxe!!<i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2043757 Mon, 15 Jul 2019 22:39:11 +0000 The Cat 2043757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always a feast to see your WIWs, Roxanna.

You look luxe, professional, and a touch creative/fun I think you are achieving your style goals.</p> <p>My favourite outfit is the club monaco dress. It is soooooo flattering on you. I tried it on myself and was amazed that it didn't cling too much (it's always a risk trying on jersey dresses due to the cling-factor!). This look marvelous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2043641 Mon, 15 Jul 2019 18:21:38 +0000 nemosmom 2043641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

Classic with a hint of retro and a very light touch of quirkiness that makes your outfits fun, while still being thoroughly occasion appropriate. </p> <p>And I wish I had your patience and magic touch for thrift shopping. Your finds are amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2043031 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 20:05:54 +0000 Christina F. 2043031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning in everything. Your hard work on your style descriptors has paid off. Big thumbs up on all of it from me. That culotte outfit!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2043029 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 19:59:52 +0000 Roxanna 2043029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone for the kind words - and all the great suggestions. You guys are such a gold mine. </p> <p>Ophelia - thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't thought of it but I will try that taupe complement with the blush dress.<br /> . Glad you all liked the culottes outfit! I wasn't sure if it was a bit much but I love it so much I wore it anyway </p> <p>@missvee thank you for the confirmation - maybe I will pin them just to show as little more ankle. You are right, can't let silk boss me around </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2042607 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 23:27:01 +0000 Helena 2042607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous ...

The clothes you have! &nbsp;That Lida Biday piece is absolutely stunning, and perfect on you. &nbsp;And for that price???</p> <p>Your comment " trendy pieces are not luxe enough for me" hit me over the head like a ton of bricks (this is usually what it takes, I'm afraid ). &nbsp;I don't feel very good in them either, and this realization has been dawning on me this week. &nbsp;I think I'm over the trendy hump in my style curve, and will happily move on into more sophisticated and luxe looks myself. &nbsp;</p> <p>The Ellen Tracy outfit is crazy too! &nbsp;I LOVE it. The colours are out of this world.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look fabulous my friend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2042445 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 20:03:08 +0000 missvee 2042445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful quality pieces, and so many lovely outfits. You have a great eye. My favourite is the silk culottes worn with the khaki jacket. You might be right that the two pieces worn without the jacket are a bit too much. Have you pinned up the culottes an inch or so? It might make all the difference. Don’t let this fabulous silk boss you around lol.<br /> I also think the khaki jacket and sandals from pic 16 might look nice with the pale silk dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2042444 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 20:01:50 +0000 ophelia 2042444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. The colors of the print of the top, as well as the pattern, in pics 1 and 4 (the Club Monaco I think) are absolute perfection with your skin, hair and shape. I recommend wearing often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2042394 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 18:40:33 +0000 Jane 2042394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waving to my dress twin! </p> <p>The last outfit is absolutely my fav - for the colours and textures. </p> <p>The cream dress and jacket is so elegant! </p> <p>You do summer well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2042366 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 17:50:05 +0000 Katerina 2042366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits Roxanna! I can’t really pick a favourite, all are amazing and reflect your style goals and descriptors perfectly.<br /> You have such a great eye for quality and style. I especially admire all the gorgeous vintage and thrifted pieces you have in your wardrobe.<br /> What I also admire is the variety of different outfits (skirts, dresses, trousers, culottes) and silhouettes while clearly maintaining YOUR style and point of view. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2042357 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 17:28:07 +0000 Anonymous 2042357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! Such beautiful pieces on you. My favorite outfit is the culottes outfit. The fabric and colors are gorgeous and you have the perfect shoes. My favorite piece is the bolero. The weave of the fabric looks expensive. I can see why it was a must have. The black pants fit you so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-is-finally-here#post-2042320 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 16:13:15 +0000 Roxanna 2042320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer has finally arrived in Toronto, and it's actually fun to wear easy, breezy clothes for two short months before fall sets in below are some recent WIWs with lots of thrifted finds. </p> <p>I'm discovering that I like to be my style to be urban, current and luxe - but not trendy. Trendy doesn't feel authentic on me and is usually not luxe enough for me, so I always feel uncomfortable in it. So I'm happily going into more classic territory here :)<br /> Sorry for photos out of order - never got the hang of that! </p> <p>Pale pink dress outfit:<br /> Dress: thrifted, $7. Love this dress. It's an easy, nicely draping viscose with some stretch, and I love the neck tie<br /> Blazer: BCBG. I love this blazer because the lines give the body shape even when it is open, and it adds a bit of sharpness I like. </p> <p>Linen skirt outfit:<br /> Skirt: Max Mara - a summer favorite of mine. I LOVE substantial linen and the hold just makes it look more sophisticated to my eye :)<br /> Top and necklace: BR</p> <p>Colorful Blouse outfit:<br /> Blouse: club Monaco, silk - thrifted<br /> Pants: Max Mara - thrifted</p> <p>Bolero outfit:<br /> Bolero: Lida Baday, thrifted. I wasn't sure how I was going to style this Bolero, but the jacquard and weave was so exquisitely made that I couldn't leave it behind. Also, it perfectly fits with my clean lined, urban luxe descriptor. I've always wanted a Lida Baday piece since she stopped designing in 2014. It was nice to pick it up for 9.99 CAD&nbsp; instead of the $875USD&nbsp; it is currently listed at on Lyst!<br /> Pants: Judith and Charles - thrifted<br /> Blouse: Elizabeth &amp; James</p> <p>Dress outfit:<br /> Dress: Club Monaco - same as Angie and Jane!</p> <p>Earrings: my first time in hoops, inspired by Jaime! I am loving them!</p> <p>Blazer outfit:<br /> Blazer: Rachel Roy - this blazer is a perennial favorite for me because it is exquisitely made. The construction and shaping make me happy :)<br /> Blouse: Ted Baker<br /> Skirt: club Monaco</p> <p>Culottes outfit:<br /> Blouse and pants: Ellen Tracy, thrifted<br /> Blazer: BCBG<br /> Both pieces are silk and lined in silk, too. They send me over the moon! I realize the colors should be shorter but I can bear to cut the fabric. But I am seeing that the while outfit sends to overwhelm me. I think I need a short sleeve top on top to show some skin and add structure. </p> <p>Thanks for looking! Any ideas on how to improve any of these? Honest feedback always welcome - I always find it so helpful. </p>
