WIW: OBG #1 - YouLookFab Forum

Hi all,

This blouse is from 2010 - and I really love it still. It is silk and the self spot is a nice touch.

The necklace is a Secret Santa gift from the lovely Sarahthewhite (2015). The ring was a gift from Brooklyn (2017 - made by her DH).

Where this went wrong is the footwear - I think boots or heeled sandals would have been better. These jeans are long and I didn’t have the right option for a day at work. I cuffed them but I think it is not that effective.

Jeans 2020
Bag 2019 ( second hand)
Sandals 2019

Also find of the 2015 sandals that I would like to have worn but are not work suitable.

Thanks in advance.

I like the sandals, Sal - I don't think they were wrong at all! And, they are great with the cuffed jeans. Those tone-on-tone/low contrast dots add great texture without technically being a print and the color is gorgeous on you. And, can we talk about that jewelry!?!??! OMG *heart eyes*

I like the sandals - they look good with cuffed jeans. Bag and watch look harmonious as well.
The jewelry is fab!

Great top and jewelry and the outfit looks terrific, sandals and all.

Great ring

I can see why you’ve kept the blouse. It’s lovely. I think the outfit works very nicely. The sandals tie in with the belt.

What a gorgeous blouse -- it it timeless! The colour is beautiful. Love the ring, too. And the whole thing works, to my eye. I like it with the sandals.

You wear saturated colours so d@#+ well! I quite like the pairing of the bright top with the dark jeans. Accessories game is on! Agree with others that the sandals work. Showing a bit of skin balances bare arms.

I think this looks great with the sandals! You look radiant in that print top! No one could guess these aren’t current pieces!

Love the color of your timeless blouse and the beautiful supporting acts.

Bijou

Great outfit and such beautiful jewellery that has special YLF meaning.

Sal

Thanks all. The gorgeous ring and necklace are very special. I love to wear them as a combination.

Thanks for the comments re the jeans and sandals. I have been wearing the jeans with ankle boots which I think I prefer. They feel a bit long for sneakers.

Hoping to try a couple more challenges this week.

Love the spots! It’s a great colour for wearing with jeans. I like the sandals too.

Gorgeous! I love your ring and pendant, both for how they look and for they lovely "feelgood" vibes they have, Gifted items always feel like talismans of live to me.

love the dotty blouse, fab colour and pattern! it's a super outfit! What sandals would you have used? I think the black ones are fine

How Fab that you could finish this outfit off with some YLF gifts!
And i can see why you’ve held on to that blouse, the colors and dots are are fun and bring a smile. And i like the sandals with this outfit, but i could also see this working with some white sneakers.

What a great timeless, statement blouse and it really suits you. Sandals look good to me.

Fabulous! Energizing, elegant, sporty and vibrant!

You had me at the watermelon polka dots....

Thanks all. I was abut surprised how few pieces I have that are over five years old. One pair of boots, two pairs of heeled sandals, one jacket, one kimono, one skirt and two tops. Plus party dresses and accessories.

Sal, I'm thinking the blouse could work well over a skirt.

All looks lovely, and very up-to-date. I think those sandals look good with the jeans.

That is a lovely blouse and a great colour on you.
