In the midst of weeks of 80s here, which takes away any hope of layers. Of course, we had 80s in January too. :/<br />But back to you, I love the whole thing. They are both really modern and flattering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797517 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 23:42:43 +0000 Anonymous 1797517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love here for both outfits. You wear black and white so well. The olive wide crops with that dusty rose color is fun. I love your shoes with the floral buttondown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797470 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 21:40:59 +0000 Diana 1797470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!</p> <p>Lyn, the boots + bare legs thing is admittedly not the most practical combination in terms of weather.&nbsp; I grew up in Southern California where the look is more common because the weather is more conducive to it - warm but dry.&nbsp; It's perfect for california winters.&nbsp; Here in Boston, there's like a few weeks where the weather is perfect, then it's either too cold or too warm/humid.&nbsp; Boo.&nbsp; Anyway, I love the look and it's probably actually my most favorite silhouette of all time so I always jump at the opportunity to wear it when the weather is right.&nbsp; I really like the juxtaposition of the stompy boots with a more feminine skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797385 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 17:55:04 +0000 texstyle 1797385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are great on you - I esp. love those red oxfords with the liberty print so fun!&nbsp; I think you did a good job with the wide crops here. The first outfit is fantastic on you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797349 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 16:45:32 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1797349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first look is quite sophisticated, and the second is a great way of making the wide pants trend work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797348 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 16:43:22 +0000 Chris987 1797348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two great outfits, and I agree that this shows you have a range of styles, which is FAB. I love that you so&nbsp; casually described your analysis and thinking when you style the culottes as a skirt.....seems so simple when you say it like that! </p> </p> <p> <i> "I think of these more as a skirt when I style them (so, shorter length, more fitted tops, emphasizing the flare of the pants rather than the overall wideness), </i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797340 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:44:06 +0000 Anonymous 1797340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You lost me at bare legs &nbsp;I agree with Cocolion in that you look so great in black, but also in colour. &nbsp;I love the first outfit - a lot, and am not really confident enough in the wide-crop look to comment on that. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797328 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:15:37 +0000 JAileen 1797328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The grey top is very interesting. I like it a lot. It looks good on you.</p> <p>We have a chance of snow tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797322 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:04:14 +0000 Isabel 1797322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what great looks Diana ! &nbsp;LOVING the wide crops on you. Loving everything on you, actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797321 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:02:20 +0000 lyn67 1797321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nr 2 is such effortless chic, &nbsp;trendy and so You, with the flat but happy colored &nbsp;oxfords. I never see boots with bare legs in the neck of my woods, here- so nr 1. is a very interesting and different outfit &nbsp;for me. Do you mind me asking, if weather for bare legs, then why specifically the heavy boots (and not else?) . But YLF in this too, no matter what! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797315 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 13:54:52 +0000 LaPed 1797315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Didn't quite reach 80 here, but I did see lots of shorts and crops and swishy skirts the past few days! A welcome change of pace. I LOVE your second outfit; pink and olive is a great combo, and those Taos oxfords are awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797311 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 13:50:31 +0000 Angie 1797311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. Summer weather. <b>Send it over.</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>Loving both outfits, Diana. You wear those culottes and floral shirt sooo well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797295 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 13:27:31 +0000 Suz 1797295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bare legs, oh yeah!! You look great, Diana. Both outfits feel very "you" -- one edgy and yet professional, and one funky and fun.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797238 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 11:05:34 +0000 viva 1797238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you posted both of these outfits, because it shows your great style range, Diana. The first looks edgier and more urban, and the second is softer. I love them both. The boots in outfit 1 are amazing; isn't it fantastic it was warm enough for bare legs? Yours look great! And in outfit 2 I love the play between the floral top and those cute oxfords. Terrific looks, both of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797223 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 09:30:03 +0000 Anonymous 1797223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was eager to see button downs styled. &nbsp;You look fabulous. &nbsp;I especially love the first ensemble. &nbsp;It works flawlessly to my eye. &nbsp;</p> <p>I love the shirt in the second outfit. &nbsp;It does seem to work with the pants so a win.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797212 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 06:28:51 +0000 CocoLion 1797212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've said this before, but I love the way you look in black. &nbsp;And combined with the pastel top, it's really modern. &nbsp;And I like the neckline for you. &nbsp;What a fantastic outfit on you!</p> <p>When it comes to wide crops, I've been off the forum for a while and am a beginner when it comes to this trend! &nbsp;Maybe someone else knows? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather#post-1797204 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 05:38:48 +0000 Diana 1797204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These last couple of days have been super warm.&nbsp; Today it got into the 80s, believe it or not.&nbsp; </p> <p>Anyway, apparently last week was blazer week and this week is buttondown week. I think I might continue the trend for the rest of the week, even though it's supposed to cool down again. </p> <p>1-3: Finally warm enough for boots with bare legs!&nbsp; Yay!&nbsp; This is a topshop buttondown with interesting overlapping back detail from NAS last year.&nbsp; I'm not sure the color is reading correctly in these photos - it's like a cool toned pale silver IRL.&nbsp; Paired with a knit pencil skirt, moto boots, and faux leather front jacket.&nbsp; This was fun and easy to wear.<br />(Topshop blouse, Uniqlo skirt, Frye boots, KUT jacket)</p> <p>4-5: With all the talk about wide leg crops, I thought I'd pull out my olive linen culottes since it was practically summer weather today.&nbsp; I've mentioned before that I think of these more as a skirt when I style them (so, shorter length, more fitted tops, emphasizing the flare of the pants rather than the overall wideness), but since we've been talking about wide leg pants, I figured I'd try styling them as pants for a change (with a straighter, longer outfit silhouette).&nbsp; I chose to pair them with my J Crew Liberty blouse, which is something that I'd usually wear with pants rather than a skirt.&nbsp; But it still has some structure which is important with the wide trousers.&nbsp; What do you think?<br />(J Crew shirt, Anthro culottes, Taos oxfords)</p> <p></p>
