I wasn’t planning on buying any shoes this year - I’m very set in my ways with footwear!

Until I unexpectedly found these Cole Haan’s.....

They fit my very low volume feet perfectly with an extra insole. And match my old light blue Furla. They don't look like a perfect match in Finds, but they are. Pics are more accurate. MAGIC!

To my eye, classic and pretty. Very comfy and neat on the feet. Will work with much of what I wear in Spring and Summer.

I looked for this type of bag and shoe match 3 years ago when I got the bag....nothing. All good things come to those who wait ;)

Waving at my light blue shoe sisters! Tanya, Janet, bonnie, JAileen, LisaP....

*Excuse the bad light in my bedroom. It's put a yellow glare on the top part of the boiler suit and my face. That's why I add pics from the perfect light downstairs. Accurate colours, but no mirror.

I absolutely LOVE my new wildcard boiler suit! It's soooo comfy and easy! Everthing stays put and there's zero fuss. I feel great in it! Now I get why people are into the right jumpsuit vibe. I want a white one too...

No loo issues, and here's why:

Hubs Greg loves the boiler suit, which surprises me because it's pink and not blue denim. Bonus! 

I've wanted one in pink or red since I was 15 years old in 1985. Now I have one at 50 in 2021. All good things come to those who wait ;)

LOTS of iterations here, and I've worn the ones with the coats - not the jackets (yet). We have cool Springs, and because I am always on foot and live by the water where it's colder and windier - I have to wrap up. I'll wear the jacket versions soon. Wearing knee-highs for insulation.

LOTS of different sneaker and bag combinations. Every item is old or very old apart from the new boiler suit. 

I like the look best without toppers. Sneakers, pearls, crossbody, Sam - and I'm done. But you know, I have to wrap up for now if I don't want to wait till May or June to wear the suit :)

My Custom-Hi-Tops are AMAZING. Workhorses, and the best item I have ever had custom-made:

Thanks for looking, and happy to be back on Team Jumpsuit with other Fabbers! xo

Gorgeous sunny Spring Day in Seattle! Busting out my new Suistudio stash with a very high happiness-factor. My favourite look of 2021 so far! I might need to take up golf. 

A year ago this week I last worked with a client in-person. I will work with clients in-person again when I'm vaccinated. I'm hopeful that  happens by my birthday in July. 

You can call me Ms. Checked & Plaid Dressy Pants! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE wearing cute dressy pants - as much as white jeans, and Summer dresses. These are now my faves, thanks to my clever friend Tanya :) - very comfy, and hemmed to wear with my type of flat and very low heeled footwear. 

I can wear the pants with sooo much of my wardrobe because it's within my palette. For today, I'm wearing the version with the striped polo and cream leather jacket. The cream jacket is 13 years old. I'm not buying leather jackets again, but will wear the two I have till they fall apart. I prefer the polo un-tucked but am showing you both pics. 

Turquoise and orange renditions here are for cooler Spring days, which are happening next week. Today's mild weather is a cruel teaser.

I'm off to run errands and walk Sam. All on foot. We live downtown. Yes - this is what I'm wearing, and to WFH. I'm dressy, and it's authentic! My at-home-only blush sneakers work well with the pants when I'm at home. Last pic. 

Hair needs a cut and shape. Excuse it sticking up. Also authentic ;)

Thanks for looking. Back later. xo

I'm showing you these quickly so that it's in time for trends week on YLF. Threw them on with a new Boden cardigan so that you could see that too. 

These are from Everlane, and called the "Arc Jean". They are a very balloon-y jean. Raw and stiff, and to my eye architectural, and with a strong Japanese integrity. Very fitted on the seat, hips and waist. Voluminous everywhere else. An acquired taste, and I know not everyone's cuppa!  

I LOVE them, and love my new Boden cropped cardigan too. I'm in '80s heaven.....but this time without the gigantic shoulder pads :)

They are not photogenic jeans because of how the light dances on the rigid denim and creates extra folds. (Badly lit bedroom too). They look better in person. I'm also deliberatly standing awkwardly to show you the barrel shape! But I tried to take a few accurate pics in case they tickle your fancy. They fit perfectly, and are very comfy. 

TTS. Not soft. Come in black. I'm not wearing them today, but will soon! 

A super cute client and friend told me that I could create custom Converse hi-tops, so I did just that!

Here's the link:

I chose:

• BLUSH leather (not canvas) - and no colourblocking
• crisp white soles sans platform
• no stripes
• GOLD eyelets
• white laces
• "youlookfab" embroidery :)

I couldn't add the fleece lining I love so much, but that's okay. I added cushioning insoles.

I've had these for three weeks and waited to bust them out today so that I had something to look forward to. They are not as chunky and long in person. That's the camera angle and my selfies doing it's not so fab thing. 

COMPLEMENT: tonal with my blush and white bags, and blush scarf. 

They are an AMAZING new wardrobe essential! Excellent quality. Playful, pretty, polished, and practical. It's awfully fun to wear them. Iconic classic with a personal touch!

Thanks for looking. xo
