You rock them all, but I have to admit that #2 and #3 are my favorites. The freshness of the cobalt and white combination simply screams summer, and I'm a sucker for a solid top with a printed skirt. Also love the details - the bow on the white skirt, it's perfect length, and the breezy cut, and the ruffle on the top in #3. NIce! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-669097 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 12:44:40 +0000 Anonymous 669097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute summery style, and I am LOVING those new glasses on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-669082 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 11:37:57 +0000 ButterflyLady 669082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all, with special love for #1 - very chic and simple. </p> <p>I like your side ponytail too, would a little spritz of hairspray hold it in? And maybe a hair grip (do you call them bobby pins in the US?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668915 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 00:51:44 +0000 Diana 668915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, thank you everyone! Lots of love for #1 - I will definitely do that one again!</p> <p>La Francaise and Manidipa, I think I am actually going to wait a little longer to get the haircut. I usually go when I start hating how straggly it looks in the mirror, and it still looks fine to me! However, I haven't had it cut for 8 months, I think. My hairdresser would be horrified. Mostly, I need to get the color re-done, and I know she will want to trim the split ends, etc. </p> <p>Beth Ann, I actually thought this kid's top was one of the best pieces in the LOL Target collection. Great print, super cheap, and it is actually cotton. I was so annoyed that almost all the women's pieces were poly.</p> <p>Rae, LOL at the wide children in tube tops! This particular top is actually TOO BIG for me as a top (although the straps are too short) which scares me because kids' sizes are like meant for 12 and under, right? (I know as a teen I would not have been caught dead in kids' clothes!) So that is one wide 12 year old! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668691 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:10:35 +0000 Kiwichik 668691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I love #1 great look especially like the bag &amp; shoes. The other 2 looks are lovely but #1 is a real knock out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668477 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 14:19:06 +0000 Mona 668477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like you said, Diana. Simple does not mean boring. Love the bag and belt in first outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668475 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 14:17:47 +0000 Angie 668475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get past the first outfit. KILLER look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668330 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 04:16:28 +0000 ManidipaM 668330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, summer dressing is easy --- but only when you know how to put together a two-piece outfit as stylishly as you do, Diana! I love #1 too, of course, but I like #2 even more --- so fresh and pretty, and the very epitome of 'pull on top, pull on bottom, put on shoes and go'! </p> <p>I also hope you can keep your side ponytail a little longer. Earlier this summer (ours is pretty done now), I realized it takes a little time for your hair to adjust to being pulled the 'wrong' way --- so it lies neatly only after a couple of wears for some of us. I say this because it may be that, rather than the length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668299 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 03:23:00 +0000 rae 668299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, I really love that H&amp;M tee in #1! And you rock turning that kids' top into a skirt... psst, I think my tube top cum galaxy skirt was also a child's size. I had a similar thought, wondering where all these wide children are who run around in tube tops. I don't even wear tube tops!</p> <p>Anyway, your summer formula is workin' hard! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668295 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 03:13:19 +0000 Beth Ann 668295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing,all of them. I think #1 is my favorite, too. I also really like the side pony for you.</p> <p>BTW -- my daughter had that Liberty top! I'm afraid there wasn't enough fabric to even consider a skirt for me -- I'm considerably larger than you are -- but I did so love the print! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668277 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 03:02:39 +0000 kellygirl 668277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so cute in everything, Diana! I love your sandal collection too. You are a summer inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668267 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 02:55:45 +0000 sarah 668267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is SOOOO fab.

The first outfit is extra fab, love that tunic with the leggings. Your giving me some good ideas, thanks for that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668076 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 23:37:48 +0000 citygirldc 668076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all but I like #1 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668063 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 23:24:29 +0000 Jonesy 668063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great, but I love that first tunic especially! Love the print and the silhouette! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668059 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 23:21:31 +0000 Anonymous 668059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've got style in abundance, lady! And you're flying the flag for all us gals who AREN'T size zero, everywhere. I think that's brill. Fab piccies, and oodles of inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing them! :-)</p> <p>Oops, forgot to answer your hairstyle question (my enthusiasm runs away with me!). I think a low, side ponytail is ultra-chic, and so cool and comfortable in the Summer heat. Are you sure your haircut can't wait till Autumn? There are some great hair serums on the market, that just might help you wait a bit longer for the chop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-071212-071412-simple-summer-dressing#post-668056 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 23:19:30 +0000 Diana 668056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Getting dressed in summer is so easy - top, bottom, sandals and call it an outfit - but hopefully simple does not mean boring. Here are three simple, breezy summer outfits for work this week. </p> <p>1: 07.12.12 - This dress/tunic is basically a Big Tee. It's not quite drapey enough to wear unbelted but I love it belted. I chose shiny silver acessories. With cropped leggings and platform sandals, I felt very tall!<br /> H&amp;M tunic and leggings, Naot platforms, Elliott Lucca bag from Sona, gifted pendant</p> <p>2: 07.13.12 - A super simple combo of fitted tee and floaty skirt. This skirt is so much fun, although I did slightly worry about having a Marilyn moment when the wind unexpectedly kicked up while I was walking home!<br /> H&amp;M tee, Benetton skirt, Dansko sandals, Etsy chain bracelet</p> <p>3: 07.14.12 - This outfit felt very summery to me. All cotton and light and airy. Photo was taken at the end of the day which is why I'm so wrinkly! The skirt is actually, believe it or not, a size XL child's top (although it frightens me to think that some child is big enough to need a top that's big enough to fit around my 42" hips with room to spare). It had spaghetti straps that I just tucked inside and a smocked band at the top of the back so I didn't even have to alter it to wear it as a skirt. The only downside is that there is no real "waistband" so I can't tuck.<br /> I was inspired by Janet to try a low side ponytail. What do you think? I liked it but felt like it wasn't staying put very well. I think my hair is just barely long enough to do this right now; unfortunately, I think it needs a trim and then I will probably not be able to wear it this way.<br /> BR top, Liberty for Target children's top turned skirt, Naot sandals, Fossil bag. </p>
