Crazy pattern and I don't mind it one bit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674629 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 08:38:27 +0000 catgirl 1674629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan, very astute! Patterns are so hard... I'm often attracted to things that remind me of India - Holi, saris, ethnic prints. And there are so many factors that come into play. Here it's florals,<br /> but size, detail, color saturation, etc. all play a part... I need to figure out just what it is. </p> <p>The BR shorts arrived and they are a win, I think. Will post them, of course. </p> <p>Thanks all - I look forward to our three hour tour, Mrs. Howell, Mrs. Roper and all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674565 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 04:37:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1674565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are cracking me up! I think all but the caftan are doable for you, given that your great style eye would come into play when you decide what to wear with them. And you could probably pull off the caftan, too. I'm drawn to some Alberto Makali pieces, and then when I take a longer look at them, I realize they are almost, but not quite, something I want to wear. Maybe that's happening a little bit with you, too. After a day, which of the items still make you really want to press "buy"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674562 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 04:20:14 +0000 MsMaven 1674562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These pants remind me of a pair I bought in the late 60s. Not sure why I bought them except that I was a bit discombobulated. </p> <p>Well, maybe everyone should have one pair of these. I say wait! hold off couple of weeks. </p> <p> I also bleached my hair blonde. Did I post those photos? Not the best thing I ever did.</p> <p>On the other hand--maybe it is the right time to break out and go crazy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674554 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 03:49:28 +0000 Beth Ann 1674554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps you're in the QVC phase of recovery? &nbsp;I've heard it's a thing.</p> <p>Seriously, I think there is room for a bit of bling and fiesta in everyone's closet --- I think a pair of crazy pants or the shorts might be a lot of fun.</p> <p>And perhaps you're craving a bold vacation?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674393 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 23:48:48 +0000 MsMary 1674393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shorts! Would totally wear them! The rest, maybe notsomuch.</p> <p>Colette, UWP is Urban Warrior Princess! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674390 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 23:42:43 +0000 Colette 1674390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to ask, what are UWP's? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674389 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 23:40:20 +0000 Aida 1674389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok first off what is the first pair? I totally want to look into those myself! Both seem like pants you'd be able to toughen up for your usual style. I mean, even UWPs need to enjoy summer right? The caftan will swamp petite you, unless it comes in petite sizes. LOVE the shorts and think, at the very least, those are worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674339 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 21:20:41 +0000 tulle 1674339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it also possible that your own dramatic figure and coloring are calling you to explore more drama?&nbsp; You mentioned that you had been wearing loose kurtas during your recovery; they probably feel and look wonderful on you, so why not take one step further and try those colorful millefleurs pants?&nbsp; Your slim hips would showcase them perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674318 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 19:42:07 +0000 Anonymous 1674318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we all have a little Mrs. Roper/Lovey Howell in us.&nbsp; Not a fan of crazypants for myself, but those caftans look pretty retro and comfortable to me.&nbsp; I could go for one in a natural fiber, without bling, I think.&nbsp; Now, someone mix me a dirty martini! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674276 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 17:40:53 +0000 Eliza 1674276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una- You had me chuckling out loud. Every spring, I find a part of myself drawn to florals and colors I deem "luscious" or even "delicious". (It's my version of the magpie gene.) Those words usually wake me up enough that I can start thinking deliberately. I do wear a few florals and love them, and even occasionally sport tasty colors, yet they are not the foundation of my neutral, solid leaning wardrobe. I have learned that if I visualize myself walking out of the house in some items, I can spare myself a closet orphan. But who wants to be bored? Have your fun, but only buy if you will be happy to put it on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674257 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 16:48:07 +0000 catgirl 1674257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay crazy-pants cruise!

I still have some in my basement archive and a pair I wear in summer, I added a picture. This pair is from at least 18 years ago. I weighed a bit more when I bought these but I loved them so much that when I lost some weight I had them altered. I just realized that I have the wardrobe to join Mrs. Howell on a cruise. Perhaps that could be part of my summer style moniker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674249 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 16:32:19 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1674249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh if I wasn't 5'1" and hippy, I'd wear that first pair of pants everywhere. I'm not as crazy about the second pair, and the Golden Girls ruined caftans for me (but Judi Dench might be redeeming them...). I think you'd look great in the pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674240 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 16:11:09 +0000 karen13 1674240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotta say, love love love #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674155 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 11:53:47 +0000 Bonnie 1674155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear pants with prints like these when I'm home at night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674152 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 11:47:11 +0000 RoseandJoan 1674152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's no reason why you can't be a tropical warrior princess. </p> <p>In nature the bright and beautiful creatures are often the most dangerous, colour can be fierce to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674151 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 11:31:15 +0000 Bijou 1674151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These could be fun to have as a wild card in your wardrobe. Why not enjoy one item as a fashion piece for the season to be enjoyed and discarded when you want. I find Zara great for buying items like this inexpensively.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2/page/2#post-1674111 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 08:18:06 +0000 Cococat 1674111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you heard of Camilla caftans?

Does Roberto Cavalli ever walk? There are so many different pics of him in multiple outfits. As I was googling, i thought "what is eurotrash?"...and then the images loaded.</p> <p>Also, warning! If you scroll down too far there is one of his bare bum and I was NOT prepared for that at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2#post-1674006 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 01:36:33 +0000 Jaime 1674006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mrs. Howell and Mrs. Roper in one thread has distracted me completely down memory lane. I have one Cavalli top - I cut off the sparkly logo thing and it actually is quite good. You are missing nature and sunshine. And there is nothing wrong with those picks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2#post-1674005 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 01:35:16 +0000 catgirl 1674005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, care to share any images? Are they along these lines or more like Etro and Kenzo? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2#post-1674003 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 01:32:09 +0000 Anonymous 1674003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm reading the Summer issue of Porter , and there is an editorial feature on print mixing - in big bold graphics and boho prints . Reminded me of this . The pieces themselves are super fashion forward too . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2#post-1674001 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 01:28:34 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1674001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Probably Ledonna's Mrs. Roper idea got you going on the caftan. I personally wore a sort of caftan-ish tunic top today. And I like prints --either on top or bottom. So I don't strongly object to any of your items but you just need to not style them in a 70s or 80s way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2#post-1673948 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 23:00:31 +0000 lpr200 1673948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #3 is totally your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2#post-1673945 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 22:57:47 +0000 Barbara Diane 1673945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 and #3. It's all in the styling.&nbsp;<br />You and Mrs. Howell would not style it the same way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2#post-1673943 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 22:57:19 +0000 Elle 1673943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been seeing young fashionistas in the SF area wearing pants similar to the first two pants. &nbsp;It's definitely a spring/summer look here. &nbsp; I think you'd be able to carry them off. &nbsp;</p> <p>Personally, I love #2 and #4.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-happening-to-me-2#post-1673938 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 22:48:00 +0000 Ivy 1673938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ❤️ those first two pairs of pants! </p>
