I also always think Charlie ads when I see these long looks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860829 Wed, 15 Nov 2017 18:16:55 +0000 Sal 1860829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carla and Jenni.</p> <p>Next time I am in a pharmacy I am going to look at the perfume section - I can vividly remember the smells of my 1980s perfumes ( Charlie, Anais Anais, Opium (this was not for me), Diorissimo and my favourite - Lumiere by Rochas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860716 Wed, 15 Nov 2017 05:26:47 +0000 Jenni NZ 1860716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Sal I was typing this morning and lost my post so stopped to get ready for work. But Charlie was my first perfume too! Older than you... I was 17, in 1978. Yes those ads were persuasive and I reckon could partly be why my brain wants me to be a willowy 70s blonde with Farrah Fawcett hair! I bought Charlie again a couple of times in my early 40s for nostalgia reasons.<br /> I love your 70s-inspired outfit here: the bright stripes, the flares, white sandals and red nail polish. So fun, YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860715 Wed, 15 Nov 2017 05:09:26 +0000 Carla 1860715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a good silhouette...you look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860699 Wed, 15 Nov 2017 03:43:43 +0000 Sal 1860699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about the late responses</p> <p>Thanks Rachylou, Karen, Cardiffgirl, Fashiontern.</p> <p>Thanks Brooklyn - Angie, Janet and yourself were my flares inspiration.&nbsp; I am loving wearing them.&nbsp; It just took so long to find a pair!!</p> <p>Thanks Skylurker - very long days here now and we have bright light as our ozone layer is so thin....</p> <p>Stylefan, Lyn, Angie - yes Charlie Girl was my first perfume as a teenager.&nbsp; I wonder if it is still available?&nbsp; Ads were so pervasive in the 70s weren't they?</p> <p>Sisi - thank you.&nbsp; The cross body was a better fit for a sporty look.</p> <p>Usually Angie's ensembles are not in sync for me so it was fun to do this one.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860570 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 16:27:27 +0000 rachylou 1860570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Breezy carefree!

I agree with Brooklyn about movement or even just real life making things look different than they do in a photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860551 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 12:54:58 +0000 skylurker 1860551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see a picture of Spring when we’re deprived of light this side of the earth.<br /> Great classic look, I love it, you look fabulous in flares. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860550 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 12:54:18 +0000 lyn67 1860550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say the perfect updated (and modernised)&nbsp; Charlie Girl look! I could never throw out a navy and red stripe tee like that, either!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860532 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 11:40:14 +0000 Style Fan 1860532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look on you Sal.&nbsp; I remember the Charlie Girl look very well.&nbsp; The 70s style is one of my favourites.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860528 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 11:30:01 +0000 Sisi 1860528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful tee! Very 70s. I like the whole outfit. I like the detail of the white sandals and the red polish that recall the tee.&nbsp;I think that a cross-body bag is the right bag for&nbsp;this sporty outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860513 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 09:34:06 +0000 Brooklyn 1860513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking very glam! I love a 70's inspired look.</p> <p>I wouldn't worry too much about the bunching of the top. I have a few tops that do that. I also think things can look different in a static pose from how they look and feel with movement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860511 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 09:08:51 +0000 Angie 1860511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous. Suits you to a tee. LOVE it when you wear '70s looks, Sal. Elegant proportions. </p> <p>Fun seeing the Charlie Girl reference too. Mega blast from the part. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860507 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 08:01:18 +0000 Mirjana 1860507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful Sal, you nailed it perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860469 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 01:40:44 +0000 Sal 1860469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Joy!<br />Smittie - these are such great wedge sandals - they seem to work with pretty much every look.&nbsp; The top is a bit bunchy....I will see what else I have at that length.<br />Lisa- thanks - I remember adoring those US advertisements in the 70s (Charlie Girl, Virginia Slims, Coca Cola) and I loved Mary Tyler Moore and Charlies Angels....&nbsp; I loved that confident woman off to work and then off for a date look.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860464 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 01:29:48 +0000 Anonymous 1860464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-version#post-1860459 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 01:15:28 +0000 Anonymous 1860459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look 70’s fab.
