I don't thing your floral pants are clownish at all!! I love the tension of the opposites --&nbsp;&nbsp;graphic strip of the purse vs. floral pants; the&nbsp;coral blouse bookended with the aqua, works on so many levels. I also love, love, love&nbsp;#6.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1083100 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 01:30:37 +0000 karymk 1083100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are hilarious, I can hear the organ-grinding monkey as I write!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love love love it all (esp. the clown pants)&nbsp;except the striped skirt AND the gorgeous Brahmin bag at the same "moment." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1082727 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:33:21 +0000 Angie 1082727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 and #7 are spectacular, Natalie. Much better than the circus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1082621 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 18:15:54 +0000 Laurie 1082621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am totally drawn to&nbsp;the matchy-ness - my eye goes right to 6 &amp; 7, and i just&nbsp;love it. &nbsp;you look amazing. &nbsp;I have to think too much about the other outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1082578 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 17:23:51 +0000 E 1082578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all: you put such wonderful combinations of colours, patterns, and textures together. And I don't think 6/7 is too much matchy matchiness at all, just lots of fun but at the same time sophisticated. That's a tricky balance to strike but you seem to do it all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1082526 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 16:04:29 +0000 AviaMariah 1082526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That bag is so fab! &nbsp;I kick myself for not getting it every time I see a picture!! &nbsp;You look spectacular in every outfit - and not in a circus clown way either. &nbsp;The pattern mixing in 1 is perfect and so much fun (again, not in a circus way). &nbsp;The bag puts 4/5 over the top. &nbsp;Extra, extra stripes...read all about it...6/7 is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1082274 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 08:54:31 +0000 goldenpig 1082274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!<br />Neel, you are too funny!<br />Ceit, yes I'm sad&nbsp;you didn't get the striped skirt and bag--you could have worn them with your B&amp;W striped Beetlejuice blazer! Now that would be awesome! ;)<br />And Rae, I'm super sad you didn't get the skirt, since you already have the bag. We could have done another twin day, with our kitties.<br />Kkards, I would love to have you join my little circus--what is your act? I'm definitely the juggler--feel like I'm trying to keep one too many balls in the air!<br />Thanks Joy, Aquamarine, Elly, Dianthus, &amp; BethAnn. I'm glad you like the dress! It's quite colorful and crazy!<br />Thanks Sona, WordLily&nbsp;and Lisa!<br />Carambola, I like the peacock phone cover too! I also have a black and white polka dot one. The funny thing is I sometimes change it out to match my outfits. Now that is maybe going too far.<br />Scarlet, I love a circus theme too! Maybe for an upcoming kid birthday it would be really cute! And I did read Night Circus. I'm trying to find a book that's similar to that to read next--any suggestions? I just finished Mr. Penumbra's 24 hour Bookstore--it had a bit of that flavor, although not exactly the same style or subject matter.<br />Una and Vix, I knew that some people would find the matchy stripes a little too much. Funny thing is my match-o-meter is so skewed that I don't even consider it that match&nbsp;matchy, because it's *only* two matchy items.&nbsp;<br />Rachy, I think you may be right about tucking--maybe I'll try a half tuck next time.<br />Emily &amp; Una, thanks for the clown pants love! You have to make up for DH's lack of enthusiasm for them!<br />Emily, the top is from Target from last winter.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.polyvore.com/converse_one_star_womens_larissa/thing?id=67035103">http://www.polyvore.com/conver.....d=67035103</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1082198 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 05:46:38 +0000 Vix 1082198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Goldenpig --</p> <p>Your title and theme are awesome. I'm surprising myself by liking the dress + bag the most; such a great pattern mix. </p> <p>I do like the outfit in #6-7 -- so striking and flattering --&nbsp;but admit you've gone a step too far with the matching for me, ha! But if you're happy, we're happy. ;)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1081805 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 00:06:59 +0000 Emily 1081805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your clown pants! &nbsp;They look lovely on you. &nbsp;I love things that match, 6-7 looks great too. &nbsp;Is the zipped top a recent find? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1081486 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:42:36 +0000 rae 1081486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man. 6-7 is so so making meregret passing up that skirt. In theory it seemed too matchy, but in reality it is such a quirky match that it is awesome! I mean matching jacket and skirt... Or bag and shoes... More expected. But bag with skirt is unexpected and fun to me!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1081467 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:20:59 +0000 rachylou 1081467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is really knockout. #7 is really good too. There's something about the shirt in #1 that feels a little off to me in the repose of a picture. I agree on the colour and not tucking... but the shirt is looking like it wants to be tucked to me, if that makes any sense. But at the same time, I know that if I saw you in #1 on the street, I'd be all *there goes a cool girl.* Eh - one half dozen.</p> <p>Circus rocks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1081452 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:05:25 +0000 Lisa 1081452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great little wardrobe capsule built around a fun black and whtie striped bag.&nbsp; Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1081358 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 17:49:06 +0000 catgirl 1081358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, 6-7 is too matchy for my eyes, but the rest of these are fab - and circus pants are nothing like these babies, that I still covet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1024-25-117-clown-pants-circus-stripes-carnival-circus-circus#post-1081354 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 17:46:23 +0000 Scarlet 1081354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am crazy about that circus dress on you!

Thought you might like to see some outfits with my Brahmin black and white circus stripe satchel. Enjoy the show! </p> <p>1-3. DH calls these H&amp;M floral pants my "clown pants", so why not pair them with my circus stripe bag for an outfit that would truly make his head spin?<br />Spiegel black leather jacket<br />Pleione raspberry shirt<br />H&amp;M floral pants<br />Forever 21 teal statement necklace<br />Brahmin Vineyard Vivian dome satchel</p> <p>Kate Spade Shelley turquoise pumps</p> <p>4-5. This crazy dress reminds me of the bright colors in a carnival or Cirque du Soleil costume, and the blazer is kind of like a hot pink version of the ringmaster's red blazer.<br />Muse pink floral shift (Zulily)<br />White House Black Market pointy black flats<br />Tulle raspberry blazer<br />Banana Republic Trina Turk bracelet<br />Brahmin satchel</p> <p>6-7. I know this may be too matchy matchy for a lot of you, but my matchy matchy-ness knows no bounds, so pairing the circus stripe skirt with the circus stripe satchel is a given!<br />Target black zip top<br />Vince Camuto black and white stripe midi tube skirt<br />OTBT gold booties<br />F21 bronze bracelet<br />Brahmin satchel</p>
