I was off peacock colors for a while but after seeing you rock them when you first started posting I was so inspired to start wearing them again! Soft and bright is right up my alley, these days </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601/page/2#post-639831 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 00:54:22 +0000 Sona 639831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>loving your blues and greens. they really suit you. softer ( but brighter peacock hued) edge definitely has an Aida-esque appeal!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601/page/2#post-638701 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 01:44:01 +0000 Aida 638701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much Kyle! I need two boost buttons for your sweet comment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601/page/2#post-638696 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 01:38:49 +0000 Kyle 638696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No. 3 rocks my style world, Aida. One of the things I really appreciate about your outfits is the attention to detail. You make fashion interesting in a multi-dimensional way. I also think you have a great eye for color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601/page/2#post-638691 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 01:35:47 +0000 Aida 638691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm planning to wear my red floral pencil skirt later this week, too! I wore a black heavy outfit this weekend and felt sluggish &gt;&lt; I can't WAIT for the weather to clear up. I think it's time I got a bright, colorful trench (maybe cobalt?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601/page/2#post-638686 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 01:31:19 +0000 Angie 638686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah. I much prefer East Coat weather too. Seattle does have the BEST Autumns though. </p> <p>Like you, I had to wear my bright tomato red skirt with black and animal print today - to feel colourful and alive in all this insane weather grimness:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638683 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 01:28:36 +0000 Aida 638683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Christy! I can see you in #2 for sure! Though I think I would faint right onto my keyboard if I saw you in a bright bright turquoise sweater (which you could totally rock) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638663 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 00:48:33 +0000 christy 638663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits Aida! You look terrific. LOVE #2 (but hey, that's right up my alley, isn't it?!) and #3 is even more fab if possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638658 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 00:27:20 +0000 Aida 638658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Meredith! The emerald bag is my current favorite ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638641 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 00:01:01 +0000 Meredith1953 638641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these outfits on you Aida but I have to say the first one is just amazing! That dark blue print blouse combined with those awesome green pants you is just to die for! And I LOVE that green structured bag in pics 2 and 3. Oh heck! I like it all! Even the leggings under the skirt and I don't normally go for that style too much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638576 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:47:35 +0000 Aida 638576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the wonderful comments, I really appreciate the great feedback! Since #3 is such a hit, I'll keep the vibe in mind and see if I can summerize it :)</p> <p>Shannon, you know I think the soft sophistication comes from the wide leg trousers themselves; many of the outfits I wear them in have the same feeling, regardless of what I'm doing on top. I think it's the to-the-floor length paired with the lightweight-but-nicely-draping fabrication.</p> <p>Una and Reneeb, I've found that the peacock blouse has several interesting colors that could be paired separate from the obvious neutrals: emerald, gold, pink, lavender, and French blue are all present in the pattern. If I had pants in any of those other colors I would totally wear them together! I hope you two will post your outfits with the peacock blouse and emerald pants :D</p> <p>Una, your tag of "Dressy Alaskan" sounds fun, but I have a feeling that your version of "Dressy Alaskan" is still going to be dressier than most others' version of "Dressy Alaskan" I think this blouse would also work with red or cobalt pants separate from the actual colors in the print, by the way. Did you end up keeping the pink trousers? That would also be a fun pairing!</p> <p>Manidipa, thank you for the color pairing compliment! I have certainly been enjoying pairing this taupe scarf with, like, every other color this season.</p> <p>Angie, urgh the weather is exceptionally grim today, isn't it? I had to wear a colorful dress to combat it! This wet weather is making my usual silhouette change up of wide hems quite difficult. David would probably be all for moving to the East Coast, he loves (and much prefers) proper seasons :)</p> <p>Jonesy, I had learned that one should "think of your sweetheart" when first learning to pose years ago, so my "natural" camera faces do come from there hehe. Though if hubby is involved in the actual photo, I get much more toothy with my smiles ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638296 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 15:43:22 +0000 qfbrenda 638296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all! All the green and turquoise colors are wonderful. The green bag is a personal favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638248 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:50:48 +0000 Reneeb 638248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love outfits #1 and #3 the shoes in 4 are so cute. I never thought of putting my Hinge blouse with colored jeans love it. I like the green tank too will copy this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638245 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:48:27 +0000 Jonesy 638245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting about your thoughts on #3. That one stood out to me, but they are all interesting and stylish. I love your "come hither" poses in #4 (in the upper right corner)--seems like your hubby is teasing you or capturing a moment :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638213 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:27:37 +0000 nicoleb 638213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great! Love the colors in #1 and i love the shoes details in the last outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638210 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:25:22 +0000 Angie 638210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you scored those fun shoes at the sale. They look amazing :)</p> <p>You look absolutely terrific, Aida! Personal KILLER faves are #2 and #3. </p> <p>Spoken like a true Seattleite: "Dry enough for wide, floor sweeping hems". </p> <p>And look at our weather today. We need to move to the East Coast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638168 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:35:31 +0000 texstyle 638168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 without the scarf looks AMAZING on you! The rest are wonderful too but for whatever reason the colors and styling of #1 are just perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638048 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 07:25:20 +0000 ManidipaM 638048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, it's always a treat to see you and read about your thoughts on style, for yourselves and others too! A great week, yet again (do you ever get tired of being brilliantly put together??) --- and my favourite is the wide-legged pants, soft scarf and bright top of #2. Those peep toes and the green bag with the monochromes is great too. And I really enjoyed the pastel neutral of the scarf with the deep oceanic colours in #1 --- very unexpected, very you. I always enjoy your unusual use of colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638021 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 06:26:58 +0000 catgirl 638021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fab looks, but most of all, why haven't I thought to pair the Hinge blouse with emerald pants?! Both of which I own?! That is BRILLIANT! A friend of mine is being appointed to be a judge and I'm going to wear this combination to the party at her house (because I'm inventing a new category called "Dressy Alaskan" which is dressed up for MY enviromental norm).</p> <p>Those wide-legs are TDF on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638010 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 05:55:25 +0000 Erica 638010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ahhhh stop it! You look so fantastic and I want to copy all of your outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638006 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 05:38:06 +0000 Anonymous 638006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! I enjoyed reading about your style journey. I love the peep toe pumps in #4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-638001 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 05:32:49 +0000 Kirti 638001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Aida, another set of fab looks! I love #1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-637949 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 03:14:52 +0000 ramya 637949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the looks in 2,3 and 4 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-637943 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 02:58:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 637943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all lovely Aida but #2 is my favourite - I love you in these wide legged trousers and that turquoise. There's a softness to this outfit but with a lot of sophistication mixed in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-637935 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 02:49:24 +0000 sarah 637935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for #3! It's got such great cheeky attitude. I really love #1, too - that's one of my favorite ways that you've worn that blouse. You are obviously having way too much fun with those peep-toes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-637930 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 02:40:01 +0000 Aida 637930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the great comments, ladies! I am amused to see that #3 is getting so much love, as I felt least like me in that one but I do like the outfit. Or maybe I felt it too fall-like, since my fall style aligns more closely with that outfit's vibe.</p> <p>Dianthus, my boho side coming out stronger in the summer was part of what got me considering soft dressing in the first place. They definitely fit well together.</p> <p>Jilly, the peep-toes are canvas actually! Pretty and casual. I'm planning to use them as sandals :)</p> <p>Shevia, yes good fit is even more important in those simple outfits! Not that more heavily layered looks are an excuse for poor fit, but you can definitely mask it more in those types of outfits.</p> <p>Christieanne and Rae, very good points! I am not sure how to define it in words, but I can also generally tell boho from arty when I see it. I don't consider my style very arty, but it definitely does have a strong 70s slant to it. As C says, modern jewelry and accessories can be key to grounding soft boho looks (especially with my hair being very free flowing ).</p> <p>Rae, definitely! Like, #1 feels more boho and #3 more arty (or hipster or something). Now I am curious if it's the black. I wonder if I could come up with a good boho look that was black heavy? Hmmm..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-637926 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 02:35:05 +0000 rae 637926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, there is a fine line between artsy and boho - sometimes I can't see it, but I think because I'm familiar with your outfits, I see what you mean. Still, I love the watery colors and drapey fabrics on you. They go so well with your hair and Seattle scarves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601#post-637920 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 02:24:27 +0000 MsMary 637920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these! Your WIW's are always such a treat! My fave is #3 but I super love the wide pants, too! </p>
