I have a few canvas bags but they're more tote-like so not great for a party situation. I do not wear clutches or wristlets because I am EXTREMELY prone to losing them. I can't tell you how many of my personal belongings are now the property of public transportation systems all over the eastern seaboard. If I lost my bag I would be an absolute wreck.</p> <p>April, I also think "collection" is not quite the word. I have a hard time with bags because I will not wear leather anywhere but on my feet, and I do not have the budget for expensive Matt and Nat bags, so most of my bags end up looking cheap or casual. Perhaps after our vegan lunch outing we can go bag shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69548 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 10:26:30 +0000 April 69548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya -- I had to smile when I saw your comment about your bag collection. I have the same problem (to call mine a "collection" would be an amusing overstatement); maybe we can work on this together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69531 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 08:32:05 +0000 HannahC 69531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya,<br /> I almost fell from my chair - this is how fabulous you looked in your yellow dress and red necklace! Wow! This might be my favorite outfit of yours! </p> <p>In addition to straw bags, you might want to look into canvas bags. There are tons of very cheap canvas bags around, and you can buy one in a very cheerful color and use it for the whole summer. At the end of the summer, if it is hopelessly stained, you can just toss it. </p> <p>The dress with brulees and wood bead necklace sounds great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69477 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 03:04:48 +0000 Maya 69477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny you should mention that Shiny. I was just looking at all these fabulous beach bags on Anthropologie (one of which I love and it's only $38). But they are beach bags, which as you mentioned, aren't quite right. it inspired me to look up more straw bags on shopstyle, and there are some truly beautiful onse out there! Of course, once I limited them to the ones in my price range, it eliminated almost everything :p</p> <p>I'll probably be wearing my brulees and my turquoise + wood bead necklace. Bags always give me a headache because my bag collection is, well, sad. I need to work on it for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69471 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 02:44:58 +0000 shiny 69471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that dress on you!!! :-)</p> <p>I have few suggestions on how to make it more casual other than what's been mentioned, other than perhaps pairing with neutral flat sandals and some bangly bracelets? Perhaps in wood or stone? I.e., make all the accessories neutral and muted and earthy. What do you think? </p> <p>One thing I never see on YLF is straw bags for summer. I used to always have a straw bag (not a beach bag, just a pretty straw handbag). Would you do anything like that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69444 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 01:26:53 +0000 Maya 69444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hehe, thanks Laura. I owe Shiny a big one for this...</p> <p>I'll try the yellow dress with leggings. I think I'm going to find it too long though. Maybe with the stirrups it will work... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69438 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 01:16:49 +0000 Laura 69438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I just had to pipe in to say what a dream that dress is. It's one of the best things I've seen you wear (in addition to the Sweet Pea tunic!). Very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69430 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 00:51:33 +0000 Angie 69430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny and matte is fably fine. I wore that today :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69404 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 23:54:58 +0000 Vani 69404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific Maya. I don't think I have a single idea to add to what all the lovely ladies have suggested. I can't wait to see what you come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69379 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 21:56:21 +0000 Maya 69379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could try it with leggings. I am shorter than Angie and the dress is silk and shiny in person so I don't know if it would look too jarring, but I will try.</p> <p>Tam, I have a red moto jacket but it didn't look so nice over this jacket. I think it's going to be too hot for a jacket anyway. It doesn't have to be casual, but I just want to find different ways of wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69376 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 21:48:38 +0000 yublocka 69376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still love this dress on you Maya! And the yellow + red is a lovely combo. Agree that leggings could help make it more casual without adding too much heat. Do you have any elbow length jackets that are casual-ish either?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69153 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 06:35:11 +0000 Kari 69153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I know we've seen you in this dress before, but I still can't get over how stunning it is on you. I love it with the "April necklace!"</p> <p>This is pretty close in length and (to my eyes) similar in style to the cobalt dress that Angie demonstrated with leggings a couple weeks back - would leggings work under this dress too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69127 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 05:07:22 +0000 Angie 69127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS! Your YLF wardrobe is taking pretty good shape :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69100 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:34:12 +0000 Ana 69100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I was thinking a denim jacket would be perfect, I just forgot to add it. Definitely look into it. It would even work with a dramatic necklace. Plus, you could easily work a denim jacket into outfits with your new stirrup leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69097 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:32:15 +0000 Maya 69097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alas, I think it is going to be too hot for a jacket or even a cardigan. The party is going to be held outdoors. Although this is the second time someone has recommended a denim jacket for an outfit, so I think maybe it's time to investigate that.</p> <p>Casual necklace (I have a wood bead and turquoise one) and Brulees sound good though. </p> <p>I can't thank Shiny enough for this dress. It is a great option to have, and April's necklace is the cherry on top! Ah what would I do without YLF </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69095 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:27:04 +0000 Ana 69095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love the necklace, Maya! And the yellow dress is so pretty! That is a gorgeous color on you. I hope you are able to find and wear more of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69092 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:08:47 +0000 Christie 69092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if you wear a more casual necklace, a denim jacket and sandals, you'll have a good smart casual outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69087 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:02:25 +0000 Maya 69087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm I think Shiny is still away. Hopefully she will see her dress at work, although to be honest the only difference between how I wore it when I first tried it and how I'm wearing it here is the necklace, hehe.</p> <p>I will probably be wearing it again this Saturday to a friend's 24th birthday. Any ideas on how to reinvent it? I'm afraid I'm just not very good at making non-casual outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69019 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 22:28:15 +0000 greenglove 69019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a perfect look for you, you look fantastic! I love the cut of the dress an the necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69013 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 22:07:57 +0000 April 69013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya -- as someone once said, you look fab!! </p> <p>Truly. I love the necklace and the dress on you and hope you find many opportunities to wear both, separately or together. The necklace absolutely suits you. I can picture it as part of an edgier outfit as well, for example with a white tee and black vest/waistcoat.</p> <p>What fun -- it's your Shiny April outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-69007 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:57:03 +0000 cciele 69007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! The necklace is a great accessory for that dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-68990 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:16:38 +0000 CK 68990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still love that dress on you so much. The necklace looks great with it, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-68972 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 20:01:27 +0000 Lena 68972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress on you, Maya. Beautiful outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-68968 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:53:31 +0000 Ele 68968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks great. I love hope unexpected the necklace feels, yet it works so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-68966 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:52:04 +0000 merry77 68966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-68964 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:50:17 +0000 bella 68964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-68963 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:44:50 +0000 Maya 68963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, here it is. Sorry for the wet hair. I always take pictures after a shower!</p> <p>For those who weren't aware, April was sweet enough to send me this necklace in exchange for the Cheap Monday jeans I sent her. Both of us immediately pictured it with my Shiny dress, and this is how I wore it to a nice restaurant on Mother's Day.</p> <p>So basically this whole outfit ended up costing me about $20 (what I paid for the shoes), hehe.</p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/IMG_1802.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....G_1802.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/IMG_1805.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....G_1805.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maya-will-you-show-us#post-68768 Sun, 31 May 2009 20:42:46 +0000 April 68768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!
