I think the round hem might help, too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258833 Fri, 23 May 2014 02:34:44 +0000 Gracie 1258833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooohh, this is one of my favorite Tees on you - lovely color combination.

You make volume-on-volume look easy. And the gold on your top and all the accents just make your outfit that much better. And your hair looks fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258739 Fri, 23 May 2014 01:23:37 +0000 MsMaven 1258739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful and comfortable looking. &nbsp;If I'd seen the top and bottom separately, I wouldn't have thought they'd work together, but they do--and so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258715 Fri, 23 May 2014 00:43:56 +0000 MsLuna 1258715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I like this a lot! I'm amazed how you're able to make that cut of shirt work with wide leg pants! You still look so polished! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258693 Fri, 23 May 2014 00:19:54 +0000 rachylou 1258693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This really works for me. The top looks yummy - lovely drape and subdued colours. I like the black/gold/blue-tinged grey combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258646 Thu, 22 May 2014 23:45:03 +0000 Debora 1258646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just beautiful!

Honestly, I think it's time. I have a lot of it to get ready with since I only work part time. I don't do nearly as well when rushed, though I'm getting better at that. Having the time to put into getting the wardrobe to where it is also a big help. I also tend to fall asleep scheming outfits 0:}</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258486 Thu, 22 May 2014 20:53:29 +0000 dustt 1258486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>trying to look at the details of this outfit but I'm distracted by today's absolutely stunningly perfect HAIR!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258463 Thu, 22 May 2014 20:16:11 +0000 rabbit 1258463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is gorgeous, another fan of the tee here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258456 Thu, 22 May 2014 20:09:20 +0000 kellygirl 1258456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fab outfit! Each one better than the next! How DO you do it! I have to say that I absolutely adore this. The print on the blouse--the pairing with grey. SO gorgeous, I can't stand it. You are a fashion genius! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258423 Thu, 22 May 2014 19:13:40 +0000 Aida 1258423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much ladies! I'm pleased with how the photos ultimately came out, they just took 3x longer than normal to get The wind didn't help much either, especially since I just use the self-timer. Also, those hoops look <i>way </i>bigger in person. Anyone interested in the purse, I must point out that it doesn't function well at all in crossbody form; the magnetic closure is in the center and the strap pulls it open almost immediately, forcing it to be worn open as a big square. I use mine as a clutch exclusively.</p> <p>Diane and Karie, yep the cranes are a sort of gold foil screen print, all one tone. I really like the effect!</p> <p>Sara,&nbsp;I went through periods when I was younger of wishing for straight hair, but I am happy with what I have now. <a href="http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/retexturizing/texture-not-your-mothers-perm-2" rel="nofollow">Curl perms have come a long way </a>and can look quite good these days, just sayin' :)</p> <p>Jackie, hah black <i>is </i>one of my best neutrals. I just don't like very much of it at once ^^</p> <p>Diana, unfortunately the crane tee isn't available any more (I've had it 5+ years). I'm glad the outfit reads as soft, that's one of my primary goals when working in a lot of black these days.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258249 Thu, 22 May 2014 15:36:42 +0000 Diana 1258249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your crane tee! Is it by any chance still available if you don't mind my asking? </p> <p>This whole outfit has a lovely, soft cohesiveness to it (which is interesting given the black and hard edges from the bag). I can just imagine how well it moves too. </p> <p>Tempted by the bag. YLF finds is dangerous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258165 Thu, 22 May 2014 13:41:06 +0000 jackiec 1258165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the volume on volume look. You look so good in black too! Good idea to wear the long hems before the rain. Hope the rain doesn't stick around </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258150 Thu, 22 May 2014 13:25:19 +0000 Sara L. 1258150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit!&nbsp; I love that crane tee!&nbsp; And I'm so jealous of your hair.&nbsp; I think it's that "grass is always greener..." thing - my hair is straight so I've always wanted curls.&nbsp; My cousin with super curly hair has always wanted my straight hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258149 Thu, 22 May 2014 13:24:14 +0000 Anonymous 1258149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can hardly focus on the outfit because I'm so enamored with your hair. My goodness. Beautiful curls! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258143 Thu, 22 May 2014 13:15:00 +0000 Mona 1258143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always thought grey goes better with silver but you have proved otherwise here. Such a fun top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258119 Thu, 22 May 2014 12:30:52 +0000 Anonymous 1258119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this a lot and could imagine the movement making it look even better in person! Also, thanks for linking that clutch! That looks like an awfully tempting option for replacing my several-years-old black clutch. (It has a giant oversized bow on it, and I'm realizing I'm over giant oversized bows). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258117 Thu, 22 May 2014 12:23:35 +0000 Jaime 1258117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the wide legs with the darker top. Love your hair. I normally also wear a tank in that situation but think the pretty strap works for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258066 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:19:33 +0000 Anonymous 1258066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful outfit. I love the top paired with the pastel jeans and the peek of pretty bra straps, but your most fab accessories are your gorgeous hair and smile </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258061 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:04:12 +0000 Karie 1258061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I like the fluidity of your outfit. I also agree that it photographed well but I imagine that it looks even better in motion. That black crane tee looks like it has a foil-ike texture to it, it's&nbsp;unique and gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258033 Thu, 22 May 2014 08:01:57 +0000 Anonymous 1258033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a lovely outfit! I like how the volume photographed What a beautiful image on your tee. The foil print (?) is so unusual and the way you picked up on that with earrings and bag hardware shows your attention to detail. I wouldn't have though to pair the top with light grey, yet it works well. Looking good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258030 Thu, 22 May 2014 07:43:39 +0000 Neel 1258030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this Aida! I do the bra strap thingie too with wide necks. If I am going to flash, I might as well feel pretty doing it. Lol. I love your top and the pants I am sure look lovelier in motion. And the gold hoops are pretty too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0521-liquid-gold#post-1258024 Thu, 22 May 2014 07:25:54 +0000 Aida 1258024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to give my floor-sweeping hems a quick whirl before the rain comes back for a short visit. Today's weather was very pleasant, warm and breezy, so I started with these lightweight <i>very</i> fluid trousers. The wind made them even more swishy than normal!</p> <p>My <a href="http://aida.lookfab.com/post/wiw-0515-rusting-in-the-dark" rel="nofollow">recent foray with a black top and light bottoms</a> has me thinking about pairing black with softer lights as opposed to pairing with white like I would normally do. It's a softer high contrast alternative, and I'm especially interested in pastels as the light shades. These pants usually get paired with lights or brights, but today this black crane tee was extra appealing because I liked how the gold looked with the gray. Went full-on matchy with the rest of the outfit: black pointy pumps, black foldover clutch, and giant gold double-hoop earrings. Fluffy curls and a soft natural pinky-red lip color for extra boho touches.</p> <p>Normally I wear a wide-strapped tank underneath this tee, as the neckline is excessively wide and likes to move around quite a lot as I do. But today I wasn't feeling the sporty vibe that provides. So&nbsp;, inspired by Joy's comment in her <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/street-fashion-in-galway" rel="nofollow">recent post on Galway street fashion</a> about the French woman she saw, I did something I rarely do: I skipped the tank and just wore a pretty lacy blush bra underneath with the intent that it might be "glimpsed". The pretty straps only show occasionally when the neckline slides, and the rest only a little peek if you were at the right angle as I were moving. Normally bras are just utilitarian for me, and I'm not often into showing them for myself, but I did like the effect today; the seam didn't show as much in person as it does in the photos, I promise.</p> <p>This is a pretty heavy volume-on-volume look. But the mostly exposed arms and neck along with the pointy pumps provide enough structure for me, plus even though the pants are very oversized they're still tailored. I think it looked even better in person, the fluidity made it very tough to photograph.</p> <p>Available items collected below. Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome!</p>
