WIW: Celebration of Life - YouLookFab Forum

Last week, we attended a Celebration of Life for Mr. SF's cousin. Mr. SF gave an excellent speech. I bought my outfit while I was in Montreal.

I need to stand up straight when pictures are being taken. This funny, slouchy pose is not flattering.

I wore #3 to the family's house after the service. We had a casual dinner, and dogs were invited.

I prefer to have more contrast in my outfits, but for the event, this worked very well.

You look lovely Style Fan! Very stylish, living up to your name. I really like the column of colour you chose and it looks totally appropriate.
Sorry for the loss and I am pleased Mr SF gave a good speech.

Style Fan

Thank you, Jenni. Mr. SF's cousin was a much-loved man. We will miss him.

Kate

I'm sorry for your loss, Style Fan. Your outfit may have been bought on the fly, but it's perfect. I'm a big fan of Aritzia's Effortless pants, but that Getty blouse is just gorgeous.

Thank you, Kate. I have also become a fan of the Effortless Pants. If I were still working, I would buy another pair.

So sorry for your loss. This is a lovely example of a non black somber outfit.

What would you call this colour? It reads as in somewhere between khaki green & putty grey to me.

BlueJay

I'm sorry for your loss.

You look lovely! This shade of grey is beautiful on you and so fitting for a celebration of life. I have a pair of Effortless pants in black suiting.

Thank you, everyone! Zaeobi, this colour is 'Dark Olive.' It is a greyish olive. If I hold it against something grey, it looks olive. I have a jacket in a similar colour.

Suz

This is a really great outfit on you. What a great choice for this (unfortunately sad) event, but also for your closet going forward. The drape, the ease, the cross-seasonality is ideal. Fab as a "suit" and equally fab broken up with denim.

Bijou

I love this colour on you and a wonderful wardrobe addition - practical and stylish.

You look great in this color, and in these pieces. I looked up the brand, and while there isn’t a single store in my state, there’s one near my mother. I might try to stop by next time I visit her.

These looks like great pieces and I love the mix-and-match aspect of them. Great color too.

Aritzia's Dark Olive is a great colour on you.

Thank you, everyone, for your lovely comments.

Such great fluid, sleek pieces on you. You look wonderful in those cuts and that color. Gosh, I love a bomber and that one is so good.

Christie, I love bombers too. They fit my style more than blazers, which I also love.
Thank you for the lovely feedback.

I'm sorry for your loss and the sad occasion. It sounds like a really nice event to honor your family member.

What a beautiful suit and a chic look on you. I love the way it dresses up enough for the celebration of life and also down with the jeans. It will be really versatile, and I can imagine the pieces mixing well with others in your wardrobe to achieve more contrast for other occasions.

Jaime

I'm very sorry for you loss. I hope you all meet for happier occasions soon.
Your pieces are fantastic. I love the non-color color (in Tibi talk) and how easily they can work together and apart.

Bonnie

The Aritzia jacket, pants, and top look like a wonderful addition to your wardrobe. You will be able to wear them together or alone for a variety of venues. I really like the olive color, too.

My condolences.

Understated and lovely. Effective column of colour. You wear it well!

I’m sorry for the loss of Mr. SF’s cousin.

These three pieces were a great find. They look great together and should mix and match well with your wardrobe. This olive is a dustier tone than I have seen before but still warm and very lovely.

Dee

My condolences, lovely olive grey combination, very modern and elegant.

Jaime, non-colour, colour is an excellent way to describe it.
The pieces work well in my wardrobe. I can see wearing the blouse and pants with metallic shoes, belt, and bag for a wedding—not that we go to them anymore!
