My Embroidery - YouLookFab Forum

Hello.

I'm a big fan of pretty things, like embroidery! I was reviewing my wardrobe this weekend and thought it would be fun to list the embroidery items in my wardrobe. I'll try to style these items into outfits soon.

#1 - White Boden Embroidered Yoke Top
I picked up this top during the end of season sales last year. I look forward to styling this piece as the weather warms up.

#2 - Olive Green Lucky Brand Embroidered Butterfly Tee
I have a strong love of graphic tees and an embroidered version is super pretty for spring.

#3 - Billy T Wild Cactus Embroidered Shirt
The back of this shirt has a pretty scene of cactus and flowers.

#4 - Periwinkle And Pink Heart Embroidered Sweatshirt by Rails
This sweatshirt is light weight (a terry material) and nice to wear on cool summer evenings.

#5 - Black Seven Tail Fox Sukajan Bomber Jacket
The most sentimental item in my collection of embroidery. I purchased this souvenir bomber jacket during my first trip to Japan.

Do you have any embroidery in your wardrobe?

Thanks for looking!

That jacket from Japan is really cool! I also especially like the white top.

I have a cornflower-blue embroidered silk skirt that I packed away because I wasn’t wearing it but couldn’t part with it … I should dig it out.

Oh, nice! I love #2 and #5!

I have only one, I think (not surprisingly). It is lilac colored cotton eyelet number. Once in a while I give it a side eye and consider dyeing it black

The jacket totally grabs me!

Fun items, especially that jacket!

I can't think of any embroidered items that I have but I do have a few eyelet tops. Love them for the added texture and interest without being a print.

Pretty embroidered items, Lisa! Some subtle, and less so. Good mix! Don't think we've seen you wear all of them yet

I like embroidery too. Here are my pieces. The pink sweatshirt has a huge embroidery at the back you can't see in the photo (added a photo):

Cookie - I am a big yes for digging out your embroidery silk skirt. It sounds lovely.

Irina - The lilac cotton top is lovely in the shade of lilac and would be striking in black if you dye it. Very pretty details on the top.

Star - The sukajan bomber jacket is a cherished piece in my wardrobe. Thanks for looking!

RobinF - I'm also a fan of embroidery for the same reason. It can add a lot of visual interest without a print. Especially when embroidery is done tone on tone. Very pretty.

Angie - You have a lovely collection of embroidered items. The small hearts on the shirts are fun and cheeky. The matching sets are divine. And the embroidered sweatshirt is fabulous! My favorite of the group! No surprise there because of course I'll like the most casual item in the collection.

Lisa I am a bit late since I only just photographed them.
My most worn are the 2015 white sneakers with tiny white embroidered flowers. I bought these for $15 to wear for playing croquet at a Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries garden party in Melbourne! Since I love dainty low profile sneakers they are now under 25c a wear! Machine washable.
Next is the beautiful 2021 jacket which I love but find some necklines fight with. I do wear it but not as much as expected.
Lastly the 2016 Django and Juliette embroidered boots. My first ever purchase from Styletread (now a go-to) so a bit sentimental but really too high. However I did wear them to the recent reunion dinner with a red top and my black tulle skirt

Jenni NZ - The white embroidered sneakers look very versatile, I can see why they would be a workhorse! The jacket is very pretty as well. All of the colors in it gives lots of options. This looks like the king of jacket that works best underneath a sleeveless top/tank. The embroidered booties are very pretty as well, they really elevate an outfit. You have a great collection of embroidery!.

I don't have handy pictures but I have at least one embroidered top and jacket that I wear regularly. Probably more but it is too early for me to think clearly. Your pieces look fab!

Jaime - Thanks for looking! I hope you'll feature your embroidery items in a WIW post sometime.
