WIW- August to October - YouLookFab Forum

Hi all,

I haven’t posted WIW in a long time. Here are a few looks from the last couple of months.

- farewell drinks for a colleague
- dinner out with friends
- dinner out with my son and his flatmates - same coat - different lighting!
- work old favourite
- another work look
- casual work from home
- the last three are all work looks for me as I try to look more springlike!

I have added some new transitional sandals - in a light grey. They are great for a cool spring. I also added the Agolde Pinchwaist straights - I do like them but am wondering about the length - the last three outfits feature them? They are long in the rise - longer than my ribcage Levi’s.

And I added a white tee - funnily enough a risky piece for me as I have struggled with them in the past.

I have had a year of mostly essential purchases. So getting dressed has been easy. But I need to add in a few more bold fun things as well - especially for the winter.

Ideas, comments and feedback are welcome!!

You look casually pulled together, like you took a little time to make each outfit yours. I like your interesting blouses/shirts, and that classic coat. Florals are really good on you!
Laughing at the name ‘pinchwaist’.

Sal

Thanks Olivegreen! I do always think about my combinations and if they work. I try hard to get the proportions balanced - the forum has helped with that. I am not quite there always but improving!!

Dee

The blush pink coat combo is very chic, you look great in the soft pink florals, and I really like those grey sandals. Haha I see a cute denim & ditsy in the mix too.

Minaminu

love how well you mix warm and cool colours!

Star

Your last outfit is my kind of outfit. I like the black shirt and black shoes combo. I think the length is modern but let see what Angie says. They are 90s style and that was how we wore them then too. I wear my BF jeans happily now with a bit of scrunch. Love the new sandals. I am sure they are going to be super versatile.

Irina

Love the outfit with a coat!
A simple thing that white t-shirt but it is so difficult to find just a right one. Hope yours works.

Bonnie

A really nice set of outfits. Your dresses are beauties.

Sally I just love that dress in #1. So fresh on you! And anything you wear with that coat looks sensational! I think you need a spring/ fall topper that is just as brilliant. Love the new shoes, too. The low contrast with ankle strap is very flattering.

Brooklyn

I love how you wear the soft pinks and camels in the first set. Very pretty and Spring like. And I like the addition of the graphic bag in the second set. Adds some punch. I too struggle with a white tee. But jeans + white tee is just a such a good combo. Hard to resist.

The first outfit of you in a dress with the grey ankle strap flat sandals = KILLER

The outfit after that with the peaches and camels too! Just, so, yummy on you!

Looking as fab as ever, Sal! I like the early '90s vibe of the white tee, jacket, and jeans! I can see the graphic tote work well with that look too.

Nice new sandals in pretty neutral color - works in every outfit! My fav are dress in #1 and both looks with camel coat. In second group the white&black looks with fab patterned bag are lovely and remind me of '90s in a best way ( I'm happy they are back ).

Sorry about the delayed response!

Dee - you inspired me with the ditsy and denim. I did like this combination!!

Thanks Minaminu - I am not good at sticking to one palette of colours - I think mixing them is fun.

Star - thanks! I plan to keep the jeans this length at least for a month or so and then make a call. I am used to slightly cropped lengths now so my eye is adjusting.

Thanks Irina - I have a black tee in this same style that I like. I have tried and failed with white tees several times - either by staining them or by just not liking them. So we will see!!

Bonnie - I love the dresses too - the shirt dress was a great buy four years ago - I have found it very useful!

Suz - I have enjoyed these sandals - perfect for cool spring. Spring here is so unpredictable - whilst I do enjoy it it's hard to gauge what to wear.

Thanks Brooklyn. I do like the pinks and camels, as long as they don't veer too soft. I suspect the white tee will mostly be worn under jackets and blazers - rather than alone. This brand (AS colour) is very affordable and good quality - by favourite place to get essentials. They have a huge range of colours - in fact some of the colours might be of interest to you.

Thanks Angie! I can't remember what bag I used that day - sometimes I only take my work backpack which I don't use in photos as it is very boring..

Thank you Slim Cat. I wasn't that fond of the 90s fashions- maybe because I had so few clothes and really struggled to find my style. I look back at it now though and think how efficient a dresser I was - I repeated ALL the time.

Joy

Love your light grey shoes. Perfect for spring and lighting up winter looks too.

Thanks Joy! For me they are perfect from September to November and again March and April, which ends up being almost half the year.

Wow, I want those new transitional grey sandals!!! I have had some grey flatform Mary Janes with same toe like yours, and loved them! Love all your wiw's, my faves from here are those with the coats!

Anonymous

You have great coats!

Sisi

The new grey sandals are beautiful and versatile! I like the floral dress, the elegant coat, the ditsy blouse+ jeans outfit and the combination of
white tee, jeans and red jacket.

Jonesy

I love the first three looks especially, I think because I am currently very into light camel tones and you look splendid in them! But everything looks great, including the new white t-shirt look! Are you wondering if the jeans are too long? They look good to me, but I am definitely not a pants length specialist :).

Jaime

Great looks - I really see a signature style coming through. I think the jeans look good as they are and the new sandals fit in seamlessly.
