I'm so glad you finally like the dress :)<br />And hello....i bloody need that hat! ;P </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1562192 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 09:30:36 +0000 Anonymous 1562192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate shopping for bathing suits. &nbsp;My problem is coverage. &nbsp;I must be incredibly shy because so many of the suit I try on expose so much skin. &nbsp;I do understand the concept and why suits may be cut a certain way, but I personally feel so exposed. &nbsp;For a while, I actually avoided going to the beach because I just didn't know how to do it. &nbsp;</p> <p>I was in Heaven when I finally discovered tankinis. &nbsp;Not very sexy and sometimes I am the most-covered up on the beach. &nbsp;Other times people are swimming in shorts and actual tee shirts so it seems to be a mixed bag. &nbsp;Beaches vary so much. &nbsp;It is like there is a subculture there and it can actually change from day to night. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1562133 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 03:08:01 +0000 Maneera 1562133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww Jaime, you made my day! What a cute comment (or should I be writing compliment?) to wake up too! I'll have some coffee and add Singapore pictures. </p> <p>Sterling - thank you for the very sweet welcome back, dear girl I've missed YLF too! </p> <p>Unfrumped &amp; Brooklyn - I am so amazed that everyone loves the black dress. The first 2 people who saw it did NOT love it. "Too much cleavage" and "too long for you" is what I was told. And that made me had doubts....but my husband loves the dress. It's surely getting an outing soon! </p> <p>Thanks Sally. Yes, the swimsuits are what make me happiest, honestly!!! I really have to hunt heaven and earth to buy them here in India and even then, may not find anything sometimes. The problem, as always, is my bust. We don't have swimsuits sold by cup-size and while my body could fit a size M probably, my boobs struggle to stay contained even within size XL! Plus most designs don't offer sufficient coverage even as the size increases. What's worse - as size increases, so does the torso length!!! Almost like the brand expects you to be 'taller' if you are a bigger size!!! I've had to literally create tiny folds in my swimsuits to make the crotch fit where it should! ( too much fabric between bust and crotch, as the bigger sizes are designed to fit taller, longer women). The Zoggs swimsuits I bought fit perfectly! Such a relief! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1562093 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:31:11 +0000 Jaime 1562093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stylish traveler, current cum 50's girl, and VA VA VOOM! You are one versatile (and gorgeous) model Manny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1562038 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 23:16:54 +0000 unfrumped 1562038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get beyond #8 --plonk! That dress is a keeper. Bombshell but in the best elegant, sophistocated&nbsp;way. The drape and length is what makes it so fab.<br />&nbsp;You've now got to create an outing for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1562035 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 23:13:01 +0000 Brooklyn 1562035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.

Love all your other purchases too. Swimsuits look great! I like the diagonal detailing on the second one. Very swish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1561854 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 15:31:57 +0000 Maneera 1561854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks abc. Hehehe - the hat saved me! It was brutally hot and sunny. I would have had a migraine without the hat! </p> <p>Best of luck finding the leggings, Ginger. Believe me, these leggings are true value for money. I don't shop Zara much otherwise. But I love their leggings (I've searched and searched and haven't yet found any other brand offering similar quality at that price). To be honest, I do like Zara winter wear collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1561844 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 15:05:39 +0000 Ginger 1561844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the tip! I'll be putting these on my consider list. There's no Zara around me so I restrain my impulse. ;0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1561843 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 15:04:58 +0000 abc 1561843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so great in #1 down to the hat and shoes and all!</p> <p>Lovely finds, so much fun to get something on vacation, bc then you always remember that trip when you wear it. &nbsp;Or maybe that's just me :)</p> <p>THAT DRESS IS AMAZING! &nbsp;Well done, hubs! &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1561832 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:41:38 +0000 Maneera 1561832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. We LOVED Singapore! Amazing food, amazingly clean and such lovely polite people. We stayed with friends who live in a posh condo and we had access to a sexy pool with jacuzzi.....what's not to love! </p> <p>Jenn - you crack me up!!! I'll let my husband know his taste is very well loved here on YLF!</p> <p>Thanks Joy. I was not sure about the length of the dress. I thought maybe it needed to be a bit shorter to be flattering, but do like the slightly longer length as it becomes dressier and versatile. Glad to know the length is good on me!</p> <p>Ginger - Zara makes one of the best leggings. They are called Shaping Leggings and are thick - perfect for giving a smooth, slim and trim look. And thick enough for winters. I already had them in black and wore them ALOT last winter. I will be happy to have 3 options this winter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1561830 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:34:35 +0000 Maneera 1561830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn and Sterling - you're absolutely right! These are ponte leggings....I don't know why I wrote tights! *slaps her forehead*</p> <p>Elly and Alasse - I really like the black dress too It's very ME! </p> <p>Suz - my husband IS quite a great shopper. Some of my fabourite things are surprise gifts from him....though those are mostly bags, watches and shoes. This is the first time he's bought a dress! But I think he did very well </p> <p>Lisa - I love the shorts outfit too! And it was super comfy for Universal Studios because it was crazy hot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1561817 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:58:56 +0000 Ginger 1561817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. These are GREAT acquisitions! Those leggings are really neat; I'd love the blue ones for myself! I'm also rather addicted to skirted workout gear, too. It started with the black tennis skirt I bought on clearance a couple years ago; now that's all I want to wear when it's hot. #8 is just amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1561812 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:53:20 +0000 Anonymous 1561812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#8 is glamorous.

And speaking of flattering....wow , that London dress is amazing on you! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1561778 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 12:39:39 +0000 Suz 1561778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look sensational!

I'm so glad to hear that Singapore was nice and congrats on the constructive shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1561764 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 12:05:42 +0000 Anonymous 1561764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh. &nbsp;I love them. &nbsp;I especially love the booties and tights. &nbsp;They look much more substantial then I imagine tights to be. &nbsp;Perhaps I would call them leggings? &nbsp;If so, you should get a lot of use out of them. &nbsp;GREAT PURCHASES. &nbsp;</p> <p>Welcome back.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1561758 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 11:54:06 +0000 lyn67 1561758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF, and there are some great finds here, although nr 3-4 would have be named thick, (ponte?) leggings where I live. Aren't tights &nbsp;having toes(aka&nbsp;opaques)?&nbsp; Love the dress hubby got it from London to you! Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-on-holiday#post-1561756 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 11:35:05 +0000 Maneera 1561756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a really lovely vacation in Singapore. While I've been on a shopping fast all of September, the vacation was the exception and I could shop as much as I wanted. </p> <p>Well, the good news is that I didn't shop very much! I just picked a few things I had on my list and didn't buy anything unnecessarily! Yay for that! I bought: </p> <p>1) Dark wash denim shorts - GAP<br /> 2) Black heeled booties - Zara<br /> 3) Two pairs of thick ponte leggings for winter in navy blue and grey<br /> 4) 2 swimsuits, as I don't mind them in my size easily here in India. </p> <p>My friend gifted me a very cute dress and a skirt (pic 6&amp;7). The skirt is very cool because it comes with soft shorts attached inside! Very comfy....and hence I can wear it without a care (I usually wear shorts underneath my skirts so I can move and bend without worrying about flashing my underwear!) </p> <p>Lastly, here is the dress my husband got for me from London. </p> <p>I haven't styled the dresses yet, but I decided to click pictures as I tried them on anyways. I think they're both winners! </p>
