Fashion Favorites (w/e 8/19/23)...

My favorite inspiration outfits this week from online browsing/shopping and from some of my favorite fashion bloggers. I couldn't (or wouldn't) necessarily wear any of these, but I like the way they've been styled or some particular component of the outfit. I might put an accessory on my shopping list. Maybe the outfit inspires me to put together something similar from my wardrobe or to try different color combinations. Sometimes, I just love the whole look. Thought I'd share and hope you enjoy...

As always, thank you so much for your comments on these threads. I read them all and especially enjoy reading why you like an outfit or why you don't and how you might tweak an outfit, or what individual pieces you like.

#1   This color!!  


#2   Too low cut for me, and I wouldn't 1/4 tuck, but I love this color blocking


#3   


#4


#5


#6   These are barrel legs, which I always called tapered, and which I don't wear, but otherwise love this outfit


#7  Using Coco Chanel's advice, I'd remove the earrings


#8


#9    Canadian thrifter...I don't like the pleats, but otherwise this is a nice looking thrifted outfit.   Emmy Deveaux bodysuit, Gap shirt, Twik jeans, Isabel Marant belt, Tommy Hilfiger bag (all thrifted), J. Crew shoes (retail)


#10


#11   @Kachina624  I love this color!


#12


#13   Queen Letizia of Spain


#14   Pants too long, and I wouldn't wear that color shoe, but otherwise I LOVE this...gorgeous color!


#15  


#16   Pink trench?  Oh yeah!  Love the hat, too.


I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe, stylish week!

I would wear 11 and 12 if I was somewhere fun. They are spectacular dresses.

 

#7 I would keep the earings and lose that pendant thingee. I might play with opening a few more buttons and wrapping the pearls without the pendant. (Can you tell I don't care for the pendant with that outfit). If i was going to wear a long necklace,  I would want more color, maybe chunky wood pcs, turquoise,  red jade...etc. etc.

Hi @MacDuFF!

I love #1 and #16.

(and Queen Letizia has a disgusting figure lol!)

Numbers 11, 15 and 16 and the Queen's lovely dress are my standouts.  I also agree about the color blue in the first photo, so lovely!!!  Thanks for the fashion stroll, always fun to see different styles and designs!

# 1 and # 14 my faves.  That cobalt blue color is gorgeous and my most flattering color.  But you have a lot of winners today.  You have great taste.

#10 is a classic look and is one of my favorites this week.  I'd change out the purse to a quilted Chanel.  #11 is beautiful!

Good morning, @MacDuFF   My picks this week are:

#1-I love royal blue! The sweater and matching beret are adorable.

#2-I also love a colorblock sweater, but would put a tee underneath it.

#11-Cut off 2 feet of fabric from the red halter dress and it would look fabulous on me! 
#16-Who doesn't love a pink trench coat??

Thanks for sharing.
