You were freaking me out. From the belly dancing to the idea of Asian food in Wien. I have to be honest.

That's a change for me, because all my life I've been the target of AF pranks, usually by my brothers and my dad, and I always fall for them, even though I know the date because it's my birthday! (Well done, Lynn. Funny story and great pictures.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-harem-pants-for-business-casual#post-1211421 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:48:26 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1211421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahahahahahaha! Love it, Lyn! You are a riot. Your story is so fun and clever. "Business contract that will define my company's future for the next 10 yrs or so" with bellydancing to distract from the fine print, indeed! I'm just thinking the harem pants might need to be a brighter color for this occasion.</p> <p>They do look so fun and fab on you, all the ways you've styled them. I especially like the red top and shoes with them. Your legs look so slender and pretty in these pants (and I'm not joking about this part). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-harem-pants-for-business-casual#post-1211403 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:23:40 +0000 ManidipaM 1211403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the patterned top best please! And may I suggest blue tights to ensure the guys take you quite seriously for your brain and know you rule the boardroom with big cat bag belt and shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-harem-pants-for-business-casual#post-1211394 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:01:40 +0000 MsMary 1211394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's great, but I would like to see some patterned tights to really kick it up a notch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-harem-pants-for-business-casual#post-1211384 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 15:21:35 +0000 Adelfa 1211384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got it, Lyn.

I find them too&nbsp;casual . My concern would be that you are meeting men who very possibly have absolutely no idea that harem pants are trendy and will just find them odd in a business setting. I would go with something more conventional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-harem-pants-for-business-casual#post-1211337 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:43:40 +0000 Janet 1211337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:-D You crack me up, Lyn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-harem-pants-for-business-casual#post-1211321 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:14:15 +0000 Parsley 1211321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With your flip flops and a little belly dancing thrown in, you're sure to be just right for an important business occasion! ;-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-harem-pants-for-business-casual#post-1211316 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:06:16 +0000 Suz 1211316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Lyn - you are too funny!!! &nbsp; :)&nbsp;</p> <p>What a fab storyteller you are.&nbsp;</p> <p>With your bellydancing skills you are sure to secure the deal! &nbsp;:) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-harem-pants-for-business-casual#post-1211275 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 11:45:12 +0000 Liz A. 1211275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now those are some fab harem pants!</p> <p>To me they look very casual at least how you have styled them. For business casual, I would like to see a jacket as others have suggested and some pumps.</p> <p>Also if I were on a business trip to Wien, I would want some Austrian food rather than the typical fare I get at home... Just a thought. Best of luck to you, Lyn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-harem-pants-for-business-casual#post-1211253 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 10:51:34 +0000 leopardluxe 1211253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pants. I think if you semi tucked the first blouse, with the print, and opted for a slightly more dressy sandal this would work perfectly for a business casual event. I feel like the solid color color top looks a bit too casual with the solid bottoms&nbsp;(like a t-shirt) and the non-decorated flip flops also move the outfit into the realm of a bit too casual for what you describe. The print on the first top makes it feel a bit more dressy --and&nbsp;I do agree with Deborah that a shorter top or semi tuck works better with the proportions of the harem pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-harem-pants-for-business-casual#post-1211250 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 10:47:22 +0000 Ledonna N. 1211250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, I love harem pants to include yours. Secondly I'm not really feeling the length of either top. I agree with Deborah about the length. I love the color of the top in 4-8 and for some reason I want to put a cropped jacket with these tops if you were to wear a longer length top. Much success to you on your business dealings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-harem-pants-for-business-casual#post-1211246 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 10:38:30 +0000 Deborah 1211246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants are amazing Lyn. Others will correct me if I'm wrong here but I think you need a shorter top in order to create the best proportions here. A shorter top will create a longer leg line and I think create more balance. If not a shorter top perhaps a semi tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-harem-pants-for-business-casual#post-1211243 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 10:33:33 +0000 lyn67 1211243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so envied all those fringe trend&nbsp;glamorous harem pants seen on some of&nbsp;our fab forum memebers that I thought will do my version asap, too.</p> <p>As you all now, I mainly dress for my work environment which is business casual, but in a somehow creative field. So, when I learned that&nbsp;I will soonly get&nbsp;to &nbsp;meet&nbsp; with a central&nbsp;asian business&nbsp;delegation&nbsp; I decided to dress the occasion with my new and&nbsp;trendy&nbsp;harem pants. </p> <p>I'll have to take a&nbsp;delegation of 4 men(!)&nbsp;from the airport during the morning, next Monday, and then &nbsp;touring&nbsp;them in&nbsp;the&nbsp;downtown of&nbsp;city Wien. Weather says will pouring, but&nbsp;as you can see my harem pants are the PPL so they hopefully won't&nbsp;&nbsp;end wet at all(?). Then, will have the business talk by&nbsp;lunch in a&nbsp;high gourmet asian restaurant where &nbsp;will probably&nbsp;shake hands over a business&nbsp;contract which will define my company's future for the next 10 yrs or so. I already took some belly dance lessons, too-&nbsp;hoping my talent will distract their attention (if needed)&nbsp;from &nbsp;all the&nbsp;small prints my attorney adviced for:-).&nbsp;Later in the afternoon&nbsp;I will take&nbsp;them back to the airport, for&nbsp;flying back to Switzerland-so huh, evening attire not required this time.</p> <p>Do you think my harem pants will work for this high importance&nbsp;occasion? I want to feel confident and not fuss&nbsp;&nbsp;with my clothes which have to&nbsp;prospect seriosity and&nbsp;ability to keep up to the high requirements&nbsp;of&nbsp;their worldwide valued&nbsp;business.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pls.&nbsp;vote yay or nay-also&nbsp;wich top do you like best? (I thought the black is always classy, but there is a paisley, kind of orintal print and a red&nbsp;mix-media silk&nbsp; hi-low&nbsp;top to&nbsp;consider, too). Also, what kind of shoes would you advice to? Are &nbsp;flips flops&nbsp;still in for business casual?</p> <p>Your comments and suggestions are always highly valued, thank you!</p> <p>ETA. I swear I linked it&nbsp;to today's blog post Angie(1st of April), but I see now,&nbsp;didn't succeed?:-))</p> </p>
