The pants are very flattering on you and I like the fit of the top. I think the bomber jacket will go great with your sporty style. It seems like a good weight for the temps you are expecting in the UK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679714 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 02:59:17 +0000 Jaime 1679714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits - love your hair too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679587 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 23:37:23 +0000 Jane 1679587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely interview outfit!

Total modern classic!</p> <p>I agree- knit jackets are the best for travel. I have one on order right now - suggested by Brooklyn!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679417 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 16:31:34 +0000 Maneera 1679417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thankyou ladies! </p> <p>Suz - glad you approve of my navy jacket....you're quite the expert on navy :)</p> <p>Chris - This jacket is an Indian brand and I'm afraid you won't get in the the USA. But I don't know much about Indian brands selling in the USA. It's from a brand called People. And it was on very heavy discount. Most winter wear is during summer, especially online. I got it for like $17. </p> <p>Jaileen - I'm impressed with your sense of observation! Yes, I've worn that top with a skirt before These days, I look for tops that work with everything --- skirts, jeans, pants....As for visa, we have a "casual" interview for visa to UK. It's nothing like the interview they conduct for the USA (which is veryyy grilling, btw). I had to submit my visa application in person, do the biometrics and answer simple questions like - purpose of visit, duration, city of travel etc. </p> <p>Angie I'm glad you approve of the bomber!!! I'll confess it was a rather spontaneous buy online and I wasn't actually sure I'd even like it (details on fabric were kind of sketchy) but once I wore it, I knew it was just perfect for my wardrobe this season. I'm leaning towards a bit more sporty casual vibe and it works great for my real life. Cosy but lightweight....ideal for our rather mild winter. And I love dainty footwear when I don't have to walk a lot. High Five! </p> <p>Thanks Rachy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679383 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 16:01:48 +0000 rachylou 1679383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit in 1 is outstanding. The jacket is aces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679352 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 14:41:09 +0000 Angie 1679352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT outfit in #1. Simple and elegant. I love that you also love dainty footwear. High five. Nice to see both pups too.</p> <p>Super cute bomber that's great for your upcoming trip. I like the boyish juxtaposition with your wavy hair.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679351 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 14:40:33 +0000 JAileen 1679351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You needed to have an interview to get a visa for the UK? I had no idea. Anyway, your outfit is very nice. Didn't you wear that top with a skirt? I like it a lot! I hope it went well. When do you find out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679349 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 14:36:42 +0000 Chris987 1679349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That interview outfit is really lovely... and as others have said the pants are a great fit. </p> <p>Same for the bomber...what brand is it? I've been thinking of looking for something similar. </p> <p>Also like the thought process you described for packing for your trip....especially the part about a denim jacket maybe not being warm enough....those subtle details can be so tricky to sort out so you end up being comfortable! Sounds like you have a good handle on it. I went to Scotland many years ago in early June and ended up wearing every topper I brought (lightweight wool sweater, lightweight fleece jacket, long raincoat) every single day because I hadn't realized how cool it would be.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>p.s. what did your little photo-bomber think of your outfit in #1? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679320 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 12:41:49 +0000 Suz 1679320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, your interview outfit is elegant and lovely on you. The pants have a terrific fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Secondly, that bomber is the bomb! It's fantastic on you -- gorgeous navy, flattering, cozy looking but not heavy -- perfect!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679318 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 12:36:52 +0000 RobinF 1679318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your interview outfit looks great, love the pants on you. And I really like that jacket. I think I'm on the hunt for a bomber jacket now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679303 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 12:06:57 +0000 Maneera 1679303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Isabelle. Yes, the jacket is veryyyy lightweight...I simply love it! It's like wearing a cozy sweatshirt, but looks like a sporty jacket that will work well for casual tops, jeans &amp; sneakers outfits. It's really very plain, which is why I got it. My tops are all printed! </p> <p>I like Uniqlo lightweight jackets and have one. I wear it for walks on chilly windy days. Mine is sleeveless too. But for this trip, I want sleeves. So I can pop the jacket over my summer tops as the temps cools towards evening or early morning. </p> <p>We don't have Uniqlo in India yet. Everything I have from the brand was either bought in London or Singapore. I'll check their stores in UK and see what they have to offer. I see this jacket is water-proof so that's a HUGE plus. I'll definitely try it out. Thanks for the tip! </p> <p>Thanks SF. Since this was the first 'wear' for the pants, I have to say I was veryyy impressed with how comfy they were. Definitely intend to wear them more often now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679292 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 11:24:52 +0000 Style Fan 1679292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great pants.&nbsp; Look so good on you.&nbsp; Nice bomber.&nbsp; Your trip sounds very exciting.&nbsp; Looking forward to hearing more about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679290 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 11:12:34 +0000 skylurker 1679290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bomber is a good idea, and good fit, is it lightweight ?</p> <p>Another idea : some of my co-workers swear by the uniqlo light down jackets (there are also sleeveless ones), really light as a feather, warm, and collepsible in their little pouch<br /> <a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/14639000008" rel="nofollow">http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/14639000008</a></p> <p>Black pants and white blouses are so serviceable for occasions like this, yours look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679280 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 10:55:03 +0000 Ledonna N. 1679280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Knit sleeves yes! Great mixed media jacket. Sleeves give you room to move around. </p> <p>I like 5he fit for your passport. It looks current and timeless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679276 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 10:29:26 +0000 Brooklyn 1679276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The interview outfit is fabulous. The pants are great on you. I like the blue jacket a lot. I think that type of collar is very flattering - especially with your shorter hair. And it looks like it has knit sleeves? I always think knits are more comfortable for travel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679275 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 10:09:05 +0000 Maneera 1679275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bijou. You're so kind I am REALLY excited about this trip. </p> <p>I agree...I look good in these pants!!! I think this outfit will become another workhorse. Now that I no longer think of trousers as 'formal' only, I'm sure I'll be able to mix &amp; match several of my tops with these. (In the past, I wore trousers with shirts only. Didn't have smart tops like this one that don't have to be tucked in) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679273 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 10:01:28 +0000 Bijou 1679273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should wear those pants more often - they look stunning on you. The fit of your bomber is perfect, so well done on finding a great casual jacket. You look so happy planning your wonderful trip - thanks for including us on the journey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixed-bag#post-1679272 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 09:50:43 +0000 Maneera 1679272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies</p> <p>I had my visa interview for the UK today. I wanted to wear something simple but wanted to feel confident &amp; authentic in my outfit. I chose a black &amp; white combination. </p> <p>Ive owned the trousers for 3 years and never worn them! They're from my 'fantasy life' but I dont really need dress pants often IRL. They seemed perfect for today. I added my new H&amp;M top and zara sandals. These pics are from my try-on session yesterday so not accessorized. I wore a red pendant necklace and my gold+silver Balmain watch, and carried my new white bag. The interview went well....now just waiting for my passport to come back with the visa! </p> <p>On a different note, I identified a wardrobe hole last winter - a casual navy blue jacket. I have a sleeveless vest from zara but that only works over sweaters. For the upcoming trip to UK, I want to carry just 2 jackets. My travel capsule is mostly black &amp; navy, and my denim jacket might not cut it because I'd be too cold to wear that at 12-13deg C. I want both jackets I carry to be able to pull their weight, so got this navy bomber on deep discount. I like the fit. It's very soft &amp; cozy with a thin fleece lining inside. It's perfectly sporty, which is just what I need in my wardrobe....something that looks good with sneakers. </p> <p>PS: it's not styled here. I'm wearing it over nightwear! I was too excited to see it when it came and just had to try it immediately to ensure it fit) </p> <p>It's tough for me to find jackets that look good open as well as closed. With my large bust, I usually size up and then the jacket hangs awkwardly when left open. This jacket has stretch because of the knit fabric on the sleeves &amp; back, so it actually looks good open too! </p> <p>What do u think? </p>
