I hope you keep these and wear them again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-585403 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 11:59:28 +0000 teeandcee 585403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mani, I didn't realize you lived in India. No wonder I love your outfits! I spend a lot of time admiring the clothing of locals in this same style. They/you can pull it off whereas the rest of us would look silly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-585229 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 01:13:00 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 585229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't consider the top to be a pastel but more a mid-range color and I think it works very well for you. I didn't think it looked too snug either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-585226 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 01:07:04 +0000 annagybe 585226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mint harem pants, I die! You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-585220 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 01:04:00 +0000 Jaime 585220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this outfit too! The color is great on you, the jewelry is perfect, and you just have the looks to make it work. SO might be silly, but he has great taste. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-585219 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 01:03:54 +0000 Sarah A 585219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, i know you didnt intend this outfit post seriously but i rather like it too! the pants are great and i know your height is petite but i am not seeing that here at all! i think because the pants are so full they give a cool almost maxi dress vibe and really lengthen the leg line nicely against the shorter tunic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-585209 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 00:56:54 +0000 Beth Ann 585209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Mandipa! It's been a busy Sunday, so I'm late to post on this thread (singing I Dream of Jeannie theme song now......).</p> <p>I liked these pants better the way you styled them a couple of weeks ago, with a longer tunic, but I agree with the others that this kind of look works for you. Woven fabrics with flowing lines are very refreshing. I imagine this look suits both your weather and lifestyle -- no problem sitting cross legged in these. </p> <p>You're using your new YLF eyes to remix your traditional clothing -- this is so fun to watch! I want to see more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-585063 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 21:02:27 +0000 cheryl 585063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and it looks so comfy and i'm all about comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-584979 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 18:26:22 +0000 greenglove 584979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is great and looks so comfy, no joke here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-584961 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:38:38 +0000 Jilly 584961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those pants on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-584888 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 15:33:10 +0000 ManidipaM 584888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marcy, definitely holler if you're coming this way next time! Any city in India, because who knows, at the rate I seem to keep moving, I just might turn up there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-584881 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 15:14:09 +0000 Angie 584881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>REALLY love this look! It would work on very few people, but it's a superb vibe for you. Rock on </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-584861 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 14:59:14 +0000 Parsley 584861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mani, it's a shame that the top feels too tight, because the color is gorgeous on you! And I adore the harem pants!<br /> I miss wearing Indian clothing- I enjoyed it so much when I was there. And I'm sad that I didn't "know" you, then. We spent a total of about a week in Kolkata- wouldn't it have been great to have a mini YLF get-together? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-584848 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 14:33:16 +0000 ManidipaM 584848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like I was saying to Claire the other day, with Chanel doing all the India-inspired looks and harem pants back on the runways and racks, might be the easiest time to try a new silhouette, I guess? I'm certainly taking complete advantage of it with all these harem pants --- even though this silhouette is the more old-fashioned rendition (circa 70s/early 80s?) and closer to our own salwars and patialas. In fact, i just cheated on SYC and started SYB a bit early, ordering a few things online in advance (but that's another story, another thread).</p> <p>I'm quite intrigued by all the affection for this outfit, and touched too It's a bit OTT with the exoticism, but I do love the pants myself. You're right, though, Suz --- the top *might* just fit again one day. I didn't get round to wearing it when it was new, and I put on weight between the original measurements and then, so it's only been worn a few times. I generally hold on hard to anything my Dad made up, but I wonder about this one all the more because I'm not sure if the sleeves are too hot on my small frame and the colour (I chose the fabric, mea culpa) is the best bet for me.</p> <p>T&amp;C, I'm generally a little less afraid of the voluminous than the average YLFer --- volume is pretty much the norm for my culture most of the time. We quite like swathing ourselves in billowy fabric from top to toe, pretty literally! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-584847 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 14:29:37 +0000 Anonymous 584847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't see the top being too tight, but I'll take your word for it. Is it made of woven fabric? I too like it's boxy-ness against the voluminous pants. Your necklace is beautiful, and I like the bangles (churis?) too! Sorry, but I have to agree is DH. You *do* look nice in this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-584828 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 13:47:23 +0000 Suz 584828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um...I might be nuts, too, but I think it looks great!! I LOVE those pants on you, seriously, and the colour of the top and its simple, crisp lines complement the drape of the pants very nicely. I also love that necklace. Seriously, this is one of my favourites of yours so far! If the top doesn't fit properly then of course it must go, but in the pics, while I can see a teeny bit of snugness across the bust, it otherwise looks great, and if you are still in the weight losing phase, perhaps it is not a lost cause? </p> <p>Those trousers are BRILLIANT work-at-home wear for our warmer months. Legs covered but not by hot thick fabric, modesty intact but legs-crossing possible. But I don't know how it would work on small, not tall, me, and whether it would read as cultural appropriation. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-584824 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 13:41:20 +0000 Anonymous 584824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really, really love those pants on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-584796 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 12:30:08 +0000 teeandcee 584796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like this outfit in a serious way. I love how exotic it is with your already exotic looks. I didn't know it was a joke at first and thought to myself how daring of you to wear something so voluminous (from one not-so-tall gal to another). I love it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-584784 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 11:49:19 +0000 Deborah 584784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking this is pretty cute! I love your hair that way. It looks so pretty. It's nice that you SO noticed:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-dream-of-jeannie-in-pastels#post-584776 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 10:50:24 +0000 ManidipaM 584776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All I need is the duncecap and veil to complete this picture for April Fool's Day. I do have the requisite curly shoes, even if I'm not wearing them here, and it's a bit too warm for a vest (I even have a pale green one, would you believe?!).</p> <p>This pink-and-violet shot-colour tunic with the elephant-ear sleeves has long been too tight on top and has to go. But I wore it one last time before I wash and dispose. It's really a tad short with the gauzy mint-green harem pants, but I wasn't going anywhere and I've been wanting to see what happens if I try to wear all pastels.</p> <p>The results are appropriately silly for the date. My expression matches, I hope. (For what it's worth, SO actually thought I looked nice! Can't be relied on for fashion advice, clearly, and is as silly as Major Nelson.) </p>
