The pants are very special and the whole outfit is unique and unexpected. Wonderful!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1325571 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 20:31:29 +0000 Aida 1325571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ </p> <p>What a lovely surprise, thanks for the additional comments Beth Ann, Gigi, and Coco!</p> <p>Beth Ann, what a fun connection!&nbsp;My opera knowledge is VERY rusty, but I think my voice would be too low to play Cherubino. My vocal range is more Contralto/Alto than Mezzo+, though I don't think I'd have good operatic control in my lowest registers if I'd sang opera instead of pop. 'Course I don't sing much of anything any more, but it was fun to think about again ^^</p> <p>Denise, I haven't changed my make-up (which is just tinted lip colors and mascara) but I have changed my facial skincare routine a bit with good results. This camera also tends to really soften skin in photos which probably helps a bit too; I actually have a lot more freckles than comes across in my face photos!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1325178 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 04:06:13 +0000 CocoLion 1325178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida have you done something different with your make-up? &nbsp;You look STUNNING! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1325129 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 03:07:59 +0000 Gigi 1325129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the touch-of-Mozart comments. I love those female britches! So much character.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm loving the cognac...</p> <p>Too bad about the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1325081 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 02:26:00 +0000 Beth Ann 1325081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cherubino!&nbsp; Or at least, the britches, and your vivacious smile, convince me that you could play Mozart's love crazed 14 year old boy from Le Nozze de Figaro.&nbsp; </p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-cKw6vTWb0" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-cKw6vTWb0</a></p> <p>Love the light tones and the sheer sweater grounded with earthy, but polished shoes!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1324867 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 22:01:24 +0000 Aida 1324867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lyn! Sorry for getting back to this so late I just saw it. My hair is longer in the front which is what makes this possible; the few shorter pieces in front are kept tidy&nbsp;because they're part&nbsp;of the pompadour front. The back and sides&nbsp;are just long enough to get up there, and the long angled bits in front are actually what give the ponytail its length </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1322478 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 22:04:43 +0000 Lyn D. 1322478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever hairstyle Aida- your curls must have quite a bit of length to enable an 'up-do' like this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1321272 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 00:50:27 +0000 Aida 1321272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mary </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1321262 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 00:35:45 +0000 MsMary 1321262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So adorbs!&nbsp; Love the outfit, and the hair and makeup are making me swoon!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1321152 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 22:37:31 +0000 Aida 1321152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rabbit, I do love the knickerbocker style slouchy shorts ^^ I hadn't made the pageboy association, but you're totally right. I don't usually go that route (I don't do a lot of masculine/boyish elements), but it must have balanced out enough across other elements because I felt perfectly happy in this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1321117 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 21:47:40 +0000 rabbit 1321117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you wear knickerbockers and make them a bit of a personal style signature. &nbsp;I see a touch of Mozart's pageboy in the bottom half, but then the top half&nbsp;is very modern and casual, and they work together. It's great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1321092 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 21:07:38 +0000 Aida 1321092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the comments, I appreciate them!</p> <p>Diane, you most definitely could! The shorts are capris that I pushed up and then tied, so they stay in place. I can see this style of pump working really well for you, would look super with a white out look ^^ I'm also thinking of throwing some blush in there, too.</p> <p>Meredith, I'm so glad to hear that! Sometimes I worry about sounding too detailed, but hey it's often those details that make or break a look.</p> <p>Angie, yes that 80s side is definitely surfacing more these days. I'm not entirely sure why that is (it's always there, at least a little). Perhaps my way of adapting the current trends to suit me is appealing to that side more than the 70s side?</p> <p>Una, hah! Let's have it rock by making it be a metal song \m/</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320969 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 18:01:19 +0000 rachylou 1320969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this. It makes me think of Switzerland and Austria. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320921 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 17:12:59 +0000 catgirl 1320921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sweet and sassy.&nbsp; I love how light this outfit is but grounded by browns.&nbsp; Hmmm, sounds like a bad 80s song.&nbsp; 'Grounded By Browns...." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320899 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 16:31:55 +0000 Keturah 1320899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>'Swonderful! I love the slouchy knee shorts. AND...I love the orange lippie! It does pair very well with the cognac and other items.&nbsp;</p> <p>xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320862 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 15:50:47 +0000 kellygirl 1320862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are SO glamorous, Aida!

Soooo fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>The '80s edge to your style is growing stronger, Aida. High five.

You have such an amazing complexion for pale colors and whites! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320817 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 14:35:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1320817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous rendition Aida! Too bad about the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320790 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 13:51:58 +0000 Meredith 1320790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, this looks great. I also wanted to mention how much I appreciate how detailed you are about your objectives and how you achieve them. Very helpful to styling novices like myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320766 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 13:11:19 +0000 Anonymous 1320766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I'm getting a fab 80's New Romantics vibe from this outfit :)&nbsp;I love it! I have some laced, heeled oxfords in&nbsp;a similar colour and height to your shoes. I wonder if I could pull off something similar... I adore the soft light tones in this outfit Aida and beautifully accessorised too. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320670 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 07:27:39 +0000 Aida 1320670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! Unfortunately the shoes rub in places little socklettes wouldn't help: along my ankle and on either side of the tongue flap. I think I might try putting a little felt right along the inside in those places and see if that helps.</p> <p>Lyn, ooh I see it a bit now too. Perhaps the shadow stripes on the sweater?</p> <p>Diana, good thought on the nude hose. I'll definitely be doing that once it cools down closer to fall.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320487 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 02:19:19 +0000 Jaime 1320487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the slouchy shorts here and am very impressed with how the lipstick works with the cognac accents. Too bad about the shoes but the peds idea might be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320481 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 02:15:29 +0000 Diana 1320481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! I really like the pale cloud grey pants here. Like white out with a twist. The cool tone of the grey works really well.</p> <p>Bummer about the shoes. They do look great with bare legs. I guess in winter you could wear them with nude hose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320455 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 01:45:59 +0000 Tanya 1320455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit is gorgeous, Aida, too bad about the shoes.&nbsp; I second the idea of trying peds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320444 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 01:30:20 +0000 Karie 1320444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those shoes do look fantastic with the outfit, that's too bad about the rubbing. Have you tried wearing a nude pair of peds? That might work as long as the peds don't show.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0731-summer-white-and-brown-and-gray-ensemble#post-1320402 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 00:30:54 +0000 lyn* 1320402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you mean about your heeled oxfords; they do look so lovely with the bare leg, but if they're causing you discomfort, then that's no good!</p> <p>I really like this look on you... it makes me think of nautical/yacht clubs ... which is slightly strange because it's not a nautical look. Maybe it's the gold rimmed sunglasses that make me think Michael Kors. Or I'm nuts. Probably that </p>
