Also, they are Jane Debster, so vintage I suspect, I mean, do they even make that brand any more?</p> <p>Thanks for your Breton post. I was too late to chime in but I read all the advice and bought an LL Bean one today. </p> <p>I hope you get a homesick cure in the not too distant future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-953088 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:54:52 +0000 ElleH 953088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lantana I really love your style. My favourites are 2, 4, 5 &amp; 6.&nbsp;Those pics of Australia make me homesick. Love the doggies.</p> <p>Are they white booties in 4? What kind of heel are they? I might&nbsp;want some white booties that wont sink on wet grass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952963 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:46:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 952963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I look at #1 - #6 I don't think conservative or even classic or casual. The first things I see are well-fitting clothing,&nbsp;interesting colours &amp; then the&nbsp;details - hat, belts, jewellery&nbsp;etc. I think these things provide the drama we talked about. They also&nbsp;turn the outfits into your own look.</p> <p>I forgot to say before that I love how you look in&nbsp;the landscape in the first three&nbsp;photos; blending in &amp; standing out&nbsp;at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952956 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:31:15 +0000 Lantana 952956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Shannon, fellow citron lover. Don't worry, I'm not about to start slouching, and I'm reassured by the forum that the drapey look is one I can wear without looking out of balance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952944 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:23:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 952944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such fantastic outfits Lantana and you look magnificent in that citron colour in outfit #5 - such gorgeous on you.</p> <p>I think you have fabulous posture and a real presence in your stature - please don't slouch or change anything. You look beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952919 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 00:55:09 +0000 Lantana 952919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, that is so cute. Sometimes I forget that Fifi is a dog because she is so cat<br /> Ike in her nature. Your GSP looks as though she has a lovely disposition.</p> <p>Suz, I can appreciate that the trimmer looks resonate with you. I recall your trying more volume and not feeling "you" in it. I'd like to see you try again though because there may well be a place for the drape and billow in your life too.</p> <p>Ah, Caro, so observant. At Au 16 the silver top is waaay too big for me. I'll think about running a seam down the sides. I'll pin it and see what difference it makes. What about that little bit of drama we talked about? I'd be interested to have your feedback on that aspect of the conservative #1-#6. Thanks for your reassurance on the full sail issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952876 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 23:39:38 +0000 Caro in Oz 952876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Lantana,&nbsp;Good to see you posting :)</p> <p>No "full sail" just good posture.</p> <p>I love #1 - #6. They are so <b>you </b>- modern, relaxed &amp; ready for anything &nbsp;</p> <p>#7 is a fantastic "going out" look &amp; I love the blue scarf in #10&nbsp;- YLF in light blue.&nbsp;</p> <p>The colour of the grey top is also fantastic on you&nbsp;but there is something about the fit of it that bothers me, &nbsp;it may just be the still photos, but&nbsp;those folds down the side of your body make me think it is too big for you.</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952865 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 23:19:07 +0000 Suz 952865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late here but wanted to add my voice to the chorus of those saying that you look great in every outfit you show here. I always love when someone posts casual outfits because I need the inspiration. And you provide it. While I like every one of these, my favourites are 4/5/6. But truly, the higher volume looks are equally good.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LOVE </b>the scenery!! Amazing to me, living in such a different climate.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952854 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 22:16:03 +0000 Lantana 952854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you style counsel.</p> <p> Shevia, Donna, Texstyle, Karie, Lisa and Biscuitsmom, it was a treat to wake to your positive comments.</p> <p>SarahL, I looked up New Mexico and saw the resemblance immediately. Your rainfall is low like ours and your mountain range old and worn like ours as well.</p> <p>La Belle, great advice, thankyou, I shall endeavour to take that on board.</p> <p>Rachel, the booties are a thrift shop find. They are branded 'Now', ie cheapies that will last for 'now' and that's it. I cant resist telling you what I paid for them-50 cents!!</p> <p>Una and Joy, I am chuffed to be likened to such stylish women, thankyou.</p> <p>Mona, interesting that you picked up on the contingency dressing. Do you too like to be ready to leap into action? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952853 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 22:09:01 +0000 Lyn D. 952853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lantana- girls rule in your animal family!<br />We have the opposite- the GSP in my user-pic is female, but our male cat is definitely in charge :)<br />Happy Monday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952830 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:06:15 +0000 Mona 952830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5 and 6 are my favourites. No wonder this is your typical look. I also really like how you feel ready for any contigencies in these outfits. The gray booties are awesome and add a little bit of structure to the unstructued tops.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952827 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:01:08 +0000 biscuitsmom 952827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dayummm, you look good!

What brand are your grey boots? They really provide a great finishing touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952682 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 17:01:11 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 952682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your look!&nbsp; Hip, edgy, and formidable.&nbsp; &nbsp; I love all of the looks here, but #4 is my hands-down favorite.&nbsp;&nbsp; Your posture and bearing are to be envied.&nbsp; I think of Dame Judi Dench when I see your photos, and she is one of my icons.&nbsp; She has made a career out of that regal, militaristic bearing.</p> <p>Don't water down who you are.&nbsp; &nbsp; You're awesome </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952665 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 16:31:14 +0000 Sara L. 952665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all your outfits and think the later pictures with more volume work due to the sleek bottoms you've paired them with. It's funny, I didn't even notice the landscape in your outdoor photos because it looks so much like where I live (New Mexico) until reading the comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952656 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 16:18:13 +0000 Karie 952656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely in all these outfits. The desert/ranges in pics 1 - 3 are beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952590 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:28:21 +0000 texstyle 952590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love all of these - very stylish and elegant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952584 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:56:34 +0000 donnat 952584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lantana, all these looks are fantastic. I love the Deborah influence. You have lovely posture, very regal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952512 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 11:52:49 +0000 Jaime 952512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love both your typical and atypical looks. White and silver look absolutely smashing on you and your "militaristic bearing" means you wear clothes beautifully. I love #5 and all the ones with the silver sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952500 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 11:33:16 +0000 Lantana 952500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Carol, cheers for Target, hey.<br /> The desert was indeed pretty deserted, saw a few folk, mainly blokes on bikes.<br /> Thanks Ceit and Krista - that's encouraging feedback on looks #7-12, they are new territory for me and I still feel a tad self conscious.<br /> Yep, the Cutty Sark was a boat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952491 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:56:57 +0000 Krista 952491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these outfits but I am really drawn to #7-12! I do not see any of the things that you are hesitant about at all - I think it's a look that suits you entirely. &nbsp;I do, of course, understand the practicality of fabric flopping around but, for social events, you OWN this look! I would like to see more :)</p> <p>ps. &nbsp;I'm assuming the Cutty Sark is a boat? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952485 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:40:18 +0000 Anonymous 952485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all these looks Lantana. Your great posture and silver hair are knockout. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952480 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:15:22 +0000 carolbee 952480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto the ponte pants from Target LOL. Lantana, I am SO impressed that you managed to look stylish while crossing the Simpson Desert, especially since you are unlikely to see many other people. Love all the fab looks, no 6 is my favourite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952468 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 09:42:09 +0000 Deborah 952468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lantana, I love the grey top and I think I might have the same ponte pants as mine are from Target too:). I have been wearing mine at least twice a week lately, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952465 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 09:18:01 +0000 Lantana 952465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Lyn, and you are spot on, surrendering my waistline is atypical of me - but nice for a change.<br /> Fifi is a WestieXPapillon, a former town house dweller who has found her inner "Shazza" in the country. She bosses Shep around but he doesn't mind, he's such a gentlemanly dog.<br /> It's dry country, all right but we have had some good falls this winter.</p> <p>Deborah,thank you. I can see you in silver grey, especially after your white and black outfit from a few days ago. The marle top is from Target's plus size department, a case of leaving no retail stone unturned, the ponte pants are Target too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952451 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 08:07:40 +0000 Deborah 952451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lantana, firstly I'm flattered to have provided any inspiration;). Secondly 7-12 are just faint worthy. I will be pinning for my own inspiration. I love #4 in particular for the way it highlights your lovely figure and 1 -3 have a very Australian vibe which I love and find very flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-typical-not-so-typical-winter-looks#post-952449 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:59:08 +0000 Lyn D. 952449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why 5 and 6 are typical outfits- really FAB and they just look like 'you'.<br />I can see Deb's influence in 7-12 for sure, but do prefer your sleeker looks that show-off your great shape :)<br />It looks pretty dry terrain where you live!<br />What is your white pooches breed?</p>
