My goodness, you are a gorgeous woman, and I especially love that I can see the same intelligence and optimism in your eyes as I have all this time in your outfits.</p> <p>Okay, onto your challenge: GREAT job surrendering your waistline, and compensating for that by going for the lean look with the skinnies and flats. I am with AJ, I was not expecting the flutter sleeves for the night look, but they're awesome especially with the poufed-up hair (Which I also love, by the way!) You completely ACED this challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-136584 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 21:33:00 +0000 bella 136584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much. I think Angie had posted about this color combination before. I don't really go for blue but this cobalt blue is really flattering for my coloring. Perhaps I should be more open-minded!:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-136570 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:54:53 +0000 Debora 136570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, thank you for showing us your lovely face. You are stunning! I love both your outfits and the top is luscious! What a gorgeous color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-136415 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 07:49:35 +0000 LoP 136415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're so beautiful! I love the blue with black. I think it adds sophistication. And the arms of that shirt are so cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135976 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 05:09:49 +0000 Kari 135976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, it is such a treat to see your face - you are so gorgeous!<br /> I love the beautiful, eye-catching color of that top. I love how the entire vibe of the top changes when it's paired under a structured blazer for day vs. the floaty style for evening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135942 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:50:55 +0000 bella 135942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies, you are all so very kind!<br /> I forgot to add before: Vani - The only reason I can pull off those sleeves without looking like a linebacker is because I have equally wide hips, so the sleeves help me balance it out a bit!:) </p> <p>April - what an interesting observation. I bet you are right, we all have our unique body language. </p> <p>Sihaya - It is nice to hear from you that I passed the test. </p> <p>Again, thank you all for the compliments. You are the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135755 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:47:04 +0000 RoseandJoan 135755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, you are simply stunning, I love the midnight blue with black, it looks so chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135697 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:43:48 +0000 hanna 135697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BELLA!

You are stunningly gorgeous. I can hardly keep my eyes off your face to comment on the outfit. Love what you've done with it. I especially love your creating thinking for the evening. Subtle yet dramatic. Wonderful mix of rich colors with neutral black and gorgeous hair and earrings. Thank you for rising to the challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135578 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:17:43 +0000 yublocka 135578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also sign me up to the OMGWCSYF group! Gorgeous!!!</p> <p>You've nailed this look Bella. I really like the way your subtle accessory changes take it from day to night. And the sleeves on that top are breathtaking!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135576 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 02:41:24 +0000 taylor 135576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness you are beautiful!!!!</p> <p>Great job with this challenge:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135509 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:09:00 +0000 Maya 135509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Add me to the "OMG WE CAN SEE UR FACE" group. You truly live up to your username, Bella. You are just gorgeous!</p> <p>I love both your outfits. The fluttery sleeves are such a fun surprise when the jacket comes off and you wear them really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135508 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:01:25 +0000 April 135508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You completely achieved that challenge! (And what a nice surprise for us to see you sans sunglasses.) I love the mixing of blue and black, and the switch to earrings from necklaces and scarves. </p> <p>Isn't it funny, though -- even though we haven't seen your beautiful face before, I would certainly know it was you from the way you're standing in the poses. My son used to play baseball at a field where the bleachers were too far away to see the player's faces. I didn't know what any of the boys actually looked like, but I could identify them all by the way they moved. I guess we all have physical things that are unique to us besides our faces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135500 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:28:37 +0000 bella 135500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the lovely compliments ladies!</p> <p>Vani - If I were actually going out, I would spritz my hair with some hair spray and make it even bigger. I love poofy hair!</p> <p>AJ - Yes, that's what I thought was one unexpected element about the outfit. I am glad you caught that. </p> <p>Joy - yes, the top is from Target and I picked it up from the clearance rack</p> <p>Srujana -I love your new picture,very fab!</p> <p>Thank you Louise, San and Marianna!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135447 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 20:12:42 +0000 marianna 135447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, you are so pretty!

You look just as glorious as ever. The blue with the black is especially stunning. I can't believe that blue top is fromTarget. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135423 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:24:46 +0000 AJ 135423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooohhhh! I wasn't expecting the flutter sleeves of the blouse when you took the jacket off. So fun for night! Both outfits are great but I luv the switches for the evening look. Super fab. You styled both wonderfully.<br /> So nice to see you without the shades! You are beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135416 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:15:00 +0000 Vani 135416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, NO sunglasses!! Yayay!! You are one GORGEOUS creature. Thank you for the treat </p> <p>Your challenge outfits are super fab and I really like how you've done your hair for the night out. The blue of the top looks fabulous against your skin. I wish I could carry off those sleeves without looking line a linebacker. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135415 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:14:52 +0000 Anonymous 135415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done Bella, you're so beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135414 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:13:27 +0000 Louise 135414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous i love the inky blue and black together and i think you have truly surrendered that waist x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-135412 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:09:45 +0000 bella 135412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I finally had some time to work on my challenge outfit.<br /> I have to say, it was hard for me to find something from my closet that wasn't fitted around the waist. This is what I came up with </p> <p><a href="http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o450/bella_cville/IMG_9595.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i343.photobucket.com/al.....G_9595.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o450/bella_cville/IMG_9600.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i343.photobucket.com/al.....G_9600.jpg</a><br /> I'm not wearing any scarves of necklaces. </p> <p>Skkinny jeans: H&amp;M<br /> Jacket:MNG<br /> shoes: top,shoes, target<br /> I have a brooch pinned to the lapel of the jacke but it's kind of hard to see. </p> <p>And here is the night version. It is not very easy to change the oufit drastically without using necklaces or scarves. But I took of the jacket, swapped the shoes for higher heels (still black though:(, I don't have anything else that goes with this outfit), swapped the black stud earrings for an eye catching, dangling pair. I changed the hairstyle and also the make-up.</p> <p><a href="http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o450/bella_cville/IMG_9618.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i343.photobucket.com/al.....G_9618.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o450/bella_cville/IMG_9616.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i343.photobucket.com/al.....G_9616.jpg</a></p> <p>A close-up to show the earrings and the make-up:<br /> <a href="http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o450/bella_cville/IMG_9622.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i343.photobucket.com/al.....G_9622.jpg</a></p> <p>So what do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-133621 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:48:37 +0000 Sihaya 133621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome - way to go Bella. So looking forward to this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-133381 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:49:37 +0000 hanna 133381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks for being so on top of this bella. can't wait to see your response to the challenge </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-133282 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:26:50 +0000 bella 133282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sihaya!<br /> Thanks for this challenge. As I was reading it, I thought "this is a piece of cake" until I saw that I need to surrender my waist line! You really got me there! I am going to have to think really hard about this but I love it!<br /> Unfortunately, I won't have time to work on this until early next week. In order to keep the ball rolling, though, I will pick the next challengee and and issue my challenge right away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-133193 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:16:11 +0000 Sihaya 133193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-chain-sihaya-challenges-bella#post-133146 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:19:44 +0000 Sihaya 133146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella - I have been admiring your effortless, polished, colorful style for a while. I appreciate your frequent pictures as I learn something new each time. I love how you make your own necklaces and your signature way of tying your scarves. </p> <p>Your challenge is to come up with an outfit that can double serve as a work and an evening going out outfit. You may add or remove some pieces to do so as long as your base outfit remains the same. And I'd love to see you try something that's not cinched at the waist as a change of scene (e.g. no belts :-). </p> <p>Added bonus: accessories that don't include necklaces, scarves, belts but still catch our attention in that signature Bella way. </p> <p>Added bonus 2: a different hair look (not about cutting it but how you style it that day).</p> <p>Please let me know if this is too tough and I'd be happy to alter it.</p> <p>Have fun! </p>
