WIW : FFBO

This would have to be my uniform Fast Fall Back Outfit!  This is the kind of outfit I would want to be wearing if my luggage was lost while travelling or I ended up on a desert island with no possessions (ok I know I might be a bit hot on the desert island):)

Worn today to take Master 12 to the doctor, and return the patterned jacket.  PS.. The Doctor is a very cool young Asian/Australian woman and she was wearing black 20 eyelet Docs.  I hardly heard anything she said as I was lusting after her boots.

Long Tail Cardigan - Mix
White Tank - Metalicus
Leggings - Target
Ankle Boots - Hush Puppies

Easy peasy right?  Added a big chunky soft grey scarf for outdoors.

This cardigan is awesome (to me anyway lol). I bought in the XS to minimise the fullness but to also get the fit of drape on the body but nice close fitting sleeves.  I also like the way it fits on the upper back and then drapes from higher on the back rather than from the waist as some of these styles do.  I can't really wear anything long sleeved under it but that's ok.  My new leatherette moto jacket actually looks quite cool over it:)

Thanks for looking.

xxx Deborah

    Hehe! I'm laughing at how you were eyeing the docs boots :D Totally, what I'm guilty of.

    Love your outfit! Good idea about picking the right size for you, to get the fit you wanted with the fab cardigan/jacket...just as Angie said on her thread. It hangs beautifully and the slither of white top with pendant over, is very elegant. YLF!

    Lol, Diane you have no idea how much I want those boots!! They have been on my wishlist for years !

    Thanks for your kind comments, I think I am trying to redeem myself after yesterday's patterned jacket 'incident' lol.

    Batman's power  girl edition:-), this is a great piece Deb, have fun with it!

  • Maneera replied 8 years ago

    You look fabulous, as always. 

    PS: I laughed reading how you stopped listening to anything being said once you spotted those boots on the doc's feet! I'm sure she felt very flattered though :D

  • Helen11 replied 8 years ago

    Easy peasy, indeed, and you look fab! Do you have Mix in a retail store? I can only shop online, so sizing is a bit of a guess. The cardigan has a lovely long drape. Can I ask how tall you are? So I can try to copy your look!
    Maybe Master 12 wil need another check up and you can see if the dr wears other cool stuff

    Perfect FFBO. Fabulous as always.

    Funny story about the doc in docs.

    When I opened my regular Motto email today, there was Deborah, looking totally fab in the Moto jacket!!!!! Now that was a lovely surprise.

  • Deborah replied 8 years ago

    Thanks lovely ladies!

    Helen are you in Aus?  The Mix range is sold at Coles Supermarkets!!  And some of it is surprisingly nice:)  Their knit wear is on sale at the moment so worth a look. I am 5ft and (rounded up) 2 inches.  I am generally a size 10.  I did try on a M in this but it was very big.  Hope that helps.

    CocoC, one of my girlfriends rang me and told me today re the Motto website.  I hashtagged them when I posted the picture to my Instagram account and they regrammed it!  It was really lovely of them:)  Our jacket is now sold out.

    I'm not surprised they regrammed you Deborah. You were pride of place in pic no. 1. :-)

    I remember seeing that cardi at Coles. I have been very impressed with the Coles range and have bought a few things. I'm disappointed that they moved it out of my local store and now I have to travel to find it.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 8 years ago

    Well you know I'm loving this, right? Gorgeous. And sizing down in the cardi to get the fit YOU want is exactly what Angie tells us to do so well done.

    And you need 20 eyelet Docs...just sayin'...

  • Jaime replied 8 years ago

    Perfect ffbo and your hair looks fantastic too!

  • Sara L. replied 8 years ago

    Great outfit!  I like the contrast with the white top.

  • Word Lily replied 8 years ago

    This is so completely fabulous! I love the long flowy drapey cardigan. The drama it adds is terrific.

  • Helen11 replied 8 years ago

    Yes, Deborah, I am in Aus. Sounds like I am about the same height as you I'm In a regional centre in the north. No Myer here....no Mix at Coles. I have been really happy with some mix online purchases, and they take returns at any store. Even though it confuses the staff to do it!

  • catgirl replied 8 years ago

    Yup, this is you and just perfect.

  • Brooklyn replied 8 years ago

    Great ffbo. I really like the necklace too!
    Deborah, I don't know if you spend much time on ASOS but they often have specials on docs. Just saying...
