I think I’ve come up with one of my own, for the first time ever, will post on it once my slew of posts around this upcoming trip slows down.

I love your new hair style, and I can relate to feeling grumpy and frumpy before a salon visit. Everything can be going along fine, and then, poof--you know it's time, or past time, for the salon appointment!</div><div>Highlights for me in these looks are the layered necklaces with the patterned palazzos, the brooch on the coat, the super-duper fab dress outfit head-to-toe!

Great to see your Melbourne purchases going into action. The coat is a winner and so are those wide leg pants. You do 'natural elegance' so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-for-relaxed-energetic-elegance#post-2277773 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 05:17:51 +0000 kellygirl 2277773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, great outfits and I love your hair.

Love your soft palette, and your hair. </p> <p>The coat suits you very well, he he :)</p> <p>I think you are right to keep the dress. My preference for a longer length skirt/dress happened so suddenly, I’m aware it could go the other way just as fast! So I have kept a few shorter dresses and skirts. I wore one shorter dress a few weeks ago and it was nice for a bit of a change. Your dress has a great 70s vibe with the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-for-relaxed-energetic-elegance#post-2277753 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 02:20:35 +0000 Anonymous 2277753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love your hair!lots of energy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-for-relaxed-energetic-elegance#post-2277745 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 01:37:42 +0000 SarahD8 2277745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hair!

The studded belt is a great piece. I have been wearing belts lately too as I am wrapping up summer and gearing up for fall.</p> <p>Beautiful cameo and brooch!
