I love the first and last looks the best (your black top is gorgeous and I imagine that in real life the detail would stand out even more). I have to comment on your hair - it is just looking better all the time. Embracing your natural wave has been such a good decision. Bravo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669942 Tue, 31 May 2016 03:10:41 +0000 Anonymous 1669942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the blue top and outfit 1. You wear brights well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669933 Tue, 31 May 2016 02:52:32 +0000 Cococat 1669933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab weekend of outfits. I love how you hemmed the grey pants to 7/8 length. They look very modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669928 Tue, 31 May 2016 02:45:51 +0000 JAileen 1669928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look sensational in #1. Great fit and a great color on you, too.</p> <p>Our long term forecast is for 95F/35C next weekend. This is too early for such hot weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669906 Tue, 31 May 2016 02:05:39 +0000 Maneera 1669906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Una! Hope you're healing nicely. </p> <p>Wow....Skylurker! I'm feeling excited just to see you comment on my thread!!! So good to have you participating on the forum, because you DO have such a keen eye for details and also because you are, literally, French Chic! (I'm quite obsessed with the Parisienne style) Thank you I think you made my day </p> <p>Thanks Olga. </p> <p>Jaime - believe me when I tell you, this peplum always looked better on the hanger than on me. For some reason, skinnies just didn't look good with it, and it's a bit too long to be worn with pencil skirts (because I usually wear a short length). It's the support act here - the straight leg jeans - that are allowing the top to shine. They fit well, create the right proportions, and look 'just right' with the shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669896 Tue, 31 May 2016 01:50:52 +0000 Jaime 1669896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color and cut of the peplum is stunning. I especially like the last outfit too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669735 Mon, 30 May 2016 19:43:33 +0000 olga 1669735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits, I like the dress best.

I'm beginning to think that hemming those jeans in #1 is the BEST thing I did to them! Seems like the proportions of that outfit are very flattering.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669673 Mon, 30 May 2016 17:26:20 +0000 rachylou 1669673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa. #1 stopped me in my tracks! Not that they aren't all good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669649 Mon, 30 May 2016 16:34:04 +0000 Maneera 1669649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tanya. That peplum is one of my few 'bright' color tops It's gotten so much love here today, I think I might start wearing more peplums &amp; more colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669648 Mon, 30 May 2016 16:32:46 +0000 Maneera 1669648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, Lisa. Well, I REALLY love black. Rs hard for me to *not wear it*. Plus, I think our bodies condition themselves according to the climate we live in. For example - I can't imagine how anybody survives in temperatures below 0deg C, let alone how they manage to stay stylish (my own experience at those kind of temperatures was horrid!) </p> <p>Plus, it's not very humid right now. The humidity goes crazy during the monsoon season (July &amp; Aug). At this time, the weather is hot &amp; dry. That's the temperature right now ( it'll get crazy hot tomorrow again). </p> <p>I've been wearing shorts, skirts &amp; dresses every day since March so whenever I can wear pants, I jump at the opportunity because it's a 'change'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669645 Mon, 30 May 2016 16:24:54 +0000 Tanya 1669645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking gorgeous in all of these Maneera, and the blue peplum top is stunning on you.&nbsp; Your hair looks gorgeous too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669641 Mon, 30 May 2016 16:18:34 +0000 Anonymous 1669641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had me at "skull print top" &nbsp;:) &nbsp;Great selection of outfits, and I cannot even BEGIN to imagine how you wear pants and black anything &nbsp;in the kind of heat and humidity you have. &nbsp;You look stylish and put-together. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669635 Mon, 30 May 2016 15:55:05 +0000 Maneera 1669635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! Killer from Angie ---- Woohoo!!!! Thank you! </p> <p>Smittie &amp; Delurked - you guys have ALL reminded me why I have so many peplum tops They do flatter my shape and accentuate my curves. I should try to wear them more often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669626 Mon, 30 May 2016 15:06:57 +0000 Anonymous 1669626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blue top is a real winner. Sunday dinner is my second fave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669617 Mon, 30 May 2016 14:47:25 +0000 Anonymous 1669617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! My favorite is the blue peplum top.<br /> The pants that you've hemmed both look amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669608 Mon, 30 May 2016 14:35:01 +0000 Angie 1669608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The turquoise peplum top is Killer, Maneera. And impromptu date nights are best. You look extra ravishing that day too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669603 Mon, 30 May 2016 14:10:31 +0000 Maneera 1669603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ledonna &amp; Lyn. You're both very very kind :)</p> <p>Suz, I'm humbled. Thank you so much! Your approval for my evolving style means SO MUCH to me And you're right! My new solution to all rarely-worn pants is - crop them! And then wear them with either same color shoe (if you have one with an ankle strap, even better) or nude-for-you shoes or fashion sneakers. All 3 tricks (which are all on-trend too!) work well for cropped pants when you don't have naturally mile long legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669595 Mon, 30 May 2016 13:24:15 +0000 lyn67 1669595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All are well thought and put together and wow for the date night on a roof top:-)&nbsp;<br />Your hair is amazing, looking like a pretty doll in nr 1:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669582 Mon, 30 May 2016 12:56:45 +0000 Suz 1669582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look sensational in every &nbsp;one of these. And so glad you had a fun weekend. One lesson I am taking from this is that cropping unworn trousers is a great way to give them renewed life! I also love that you, as a petite, are rocking this look for all it is worth. I really love how the cropped trouser highlights pretty feet, shoes, and ankle, yet gives a long line from top to bottom if worn with low contrast.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your sneakers looks as well. Your style has become simpler, more practical for your daily life, yet every bit as feminine. Brava!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669563 Mon, 30 May 2016 12:12:22 +0000 Ledonna N. 1669563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enjoy your walk. You weeks fits are lovely the peplum top pic especially. Date night on a roof top. Oh that sounds romantic. Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-happy-weekend-series#post-1669562 Mon, 30 May 2016 12:08:46 +0000 Maneera 1669562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Monday, to all you lovely ladies</p> <p>I had a great weekend. The weather turned (for the better) and we have had lots of rain It's way more pleasant now, so I wore pants quite a bit. And I tried many different looks!</p> <p>#1-2: Friday </p> <p>I met an old college-time friend for lunch. Wanted to dress in something simple &amp; unfussy because I had a rather busy morning that day. These jeans have been languishing in my closet for almost a year because they used to be an odd length (too long). I got them cropped &amp; enjoyed wearing them with a light blue peplum top (it's knit) and very comfy navy wedges. My friend said I look better now than I did in college! (A huge compliment, since I'm more than a decade older now)</p> <p>#3: Saturday Afternoon </p> <p>Many of you have already seen this outfit I wore for a movie on Saturday, but just adding it here again to complete the 'weekend' series. </p> <p>#4-5: Saturday Night</p> <p>Hubs &amp; I stepped out to buy some groceries but the weather was sooo lovely, we decided to grab a meal at an Italian rooftop restaurant. Turned out to be an amazing impromptu date night Btw this is my version of Angie's Minimally Fab ensemble - skinnies, trapeze style top, sandals &amp; tote. </p> <p>#6-7: Sunday Brunch</p> <p>A couple friend are traveling to Europe for 20 days this week, so they wanted to catch up over a late breakfast of pancakes &amp; frappe. I was in the mood for Athleisure. These grey joggers are new and this was their first outing. Paired with my funky hi-low hem skull print top &amp; trusty Zara ankle strap sandals. Post bfast, I helped my friend shop for her Europe trip and had a ball! </p> <p>#8-9: Sunday Night</p> <p>Dinner at my BFF's. I had dressed down in the morning, so decided on this *Simple but Pretty* outfit to wrap up the weekend These grey pants have also been ignored for years. I recently hemmed them to this cropped length and quite like them like this. I'm wearing a simple black tee (it has a net neckline &amp; sleeves) and Snakeprint sandals my husband got me from London last year. This outfit looked better IRL - dark colors do not photograph well. </p> <p>And that was my weekend! The weather is still good, so I'm off for a nice long walk now. Thanks for looking. All comments/inputs/suggestions welcome. </p>
