Inspired by Mirjana - YouLookFab Forum

Hi all

A couple of “shopping in my lunch break” WIWs.

I always enjoy seeing forum member’s WIWs and taking little gems of inspiration from them. These outfits were inspired by the lovely Mirjana. Thanks MJ!

Outfit 1 (semi white out)

This outfit was inspired by Mirjana’s all white outfit, as seen on this post. I love the elegance of white on white, especially when combined with tan accessories.

I don’t have the pieces to do a full white on white look so I went with a black and white skirt instead of white bottoms, ivory top and ivory jacket. Tan boots and white and tan bag and tan jewellery to keep the palette light.

Outfit 2 (black, tan and plum + cream)

This outfit was inspired by MJ’s black, red and camel outfit.

Well, that was the original inspiration! I substituted plum (almost burgundy) for red and tan for camel. I also wore a cream lightweight cotton jacket (it’s still pretty warm here).

This was the first wear for the asymmetrical skirt, which I bought last summer. It is laser cut with a yellow gold petticoat (!) underneath that gives the skirt an interesting texture.

Your thoughts welcome

Wow! I like both but the second one is super cool.

Aquamarine

Love the white on white! The Zara jacket is very cool with the frayed ends, which I didn’t notice until I clicked on the find. It’s just a little RATE The skirt is so interesting and texture-rich, which adds a fresh dimension to the outfits. Always fun to see you post, Brooklyn.

Joy

It is fun to see you in white. You wear it well. Both are great outfits on you, but the first is my favorite. I need to track down that Furla bag.

Wonderful looks- love that jacket ( great details) and that skirt!!
MJ will be proud of you.
Great job on all looks.

Brooklyn

Thanks Joy! The Furla bag came from Yoox but is quite a few years old now. I like that it has a tan/beige aspect too. Very handy for colour challenged me! You might track one down on eBay.

Thanks Aquamarine! I don’t mind a bit of RATE. I still really enjoy fray hem jackets and jeans. But, like many others, I am over rips in jeans.

And thanks Jussie!

Oops, thanks efbgen! Cross posted.

These are both beautiful on you but the ivory/ white one wins my heart. Absolutely gorgeous! And those boots are so perfect with your hair.

JAileen

Your skirt with the gold underlay is both interesting and beautiful.

I LOVE YOU IN WHITE/IVORY.

KILLER all round, Queen Skirt. The tan boots bookend your hair to perfection.

Mirjana

WOW, WOW, Brooklyn, how beautiful outfits, I am proud of you. I am really happy that I inspired you for so great outfits, you look amazing in all, but my favorite is #1, white is so wonderful on you, fantastic jacket and skirt. As Angie said Queen Skirt.

Lynn

There you go again with your wonderful skirt outfits. Both gorgeous. That Carven skit is extra special.

Mac

I adore the white on white but the later pictures give me a terminal case of Belt Envy Gorgeous!

Helena

Beautiful, and who couldn't be inspired by the wonderful Mirjana! The second skirt is really fantastic!

Sal

You look wonderful in both these. What a fun challenge - and great to see your inspiration!!

I love the asymmetric skirt - really fun with the lining, and the off white is great on you. And yes the belt gives such a good finish - I will look to imitate that.

Cardiff girl

You look lovely in both outfits but I think the cream is my favourite.

OMG. They are sheer perfection. I lean toward the cream as my favorite, but they are both so perfect!!!!

Dianna

Both outfits are fantastic Brooklyn, Mirjana is an inspiration and so are you. I like both of your styles very much.

Thanks everyone!

Special thanks to Mirjana, the original and best! I am glad these outfits win your approval. Please send me more inspiration soon

Angie, I actually wore trousers on Monday. I have had them in my closet for 3 or 4 years and it was their first wear. Ha ha! My husband really liked them so I told him I would *try* to wear them more often. But I don't think that there is any danger of me losing the Queen Skirt title anytime soon.

Sal and Mac, the wider belt is useful for repeating the tan of course and for doing a semi tuck, which is a bit more relaxed than a full tuck.

And thanks Suz, JAileen, Lynn, TG, CG, Sterling and Dianna.

Aida

Always love seeing your midi skirts+tall boots outfits! I think of them as signature. I'll go ahead and take that cream tweedy moto and the cognac double belt and the boots, thankyouverymuch.

I want to see you in those trousers, Queen Skirt!

Ha ha Aida. Thanks! It's good to see you back. I have often thought it would be possible to do a true seasonal switch out of clothes on this forum by swapping items between members in the north and members in the south. But what I borrow I might not want to give back

Angie, just for you, here is a pic. It makes me look like I spend all my lunch hours shopping, which I don’t! This is also inspired by one of MJs outfits. I was going to post it but there is a sad story about the jacket. I discovered after I took this photo that it had pilled badly at the back. See second pic. I took it back and they gave me a credit note. Sad, because I really liked it. I need another blazer if I am going to wear trousers more often!

Oh, love your outfits, Brooklyn! I had been eyeing that blazer in the grey-green, so interested to see your note about pilling.

Thanks Chiara. I was disappointed because I really liked the style. But my handbag had created a terrible mark on the back and I also noticed pilling where I was sitting and it had rubbed against the arm of my chair. I had only worn it about 6 times so it wasn’t fair wear and tear, in my view. The retailer did not argue with me about it, so full points to them.

Jaime

Super pretty in light colors!

You are welcome Brooklyn. It is an honor for me to inspire you for such great outfits. You are sweetheart.

I'm with hubs. Love you in these pants, Brooklyn. And what a shame about the jacket. New burgundy topper for you....

Katerina

Fantastic outfits Brooklyn both of them.
And I also love the trousers on you.

How did I miss this one??? OMG! Your cream jacket is TDF(especially love the beige long boots to this beautiful outfit!) and the laser cut skirt with the double buckled obi belt!!! You are such an inspiration for me, and you now got another killer from me (as each time you post!!!:-))

ETA: pants are also perfect, now am sad for that blazer(how could that happen??). What did you mean, you need another one if you will want to wear the trousers more? Do you wear trousers only with blazers(and between them, speciffic ones, isn' it!)...a great point-very true for me, too....
