I love the sort-of (I say sort of because I'm not well versed on the style) avant-garde style, the proportions, and the sculptural quality of the jacket and harem skirt. The length of the sleeve and the skirt make everything so chic. And that collar! I die. The shoes are just the cherry on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-opera-with-okalas#post-1213990 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 14:04:19 +0000 texstyle 1213990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning Shevia!

Lovely look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-opera-with-okalas#post-1213897 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 10:33:07 +0000 Jaime 1213897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waving back to all my shoe twins happily. Thank you all for your kind words. I am especially glad the jacket worked, I had mixed feelings about that.</p> <p>Beth Ann the female roles were&nbsp;played by just one singer, Petrova Lyubov, and I was simply amazed not just by her range but her acting ability. Especially the first part when she plays Olympia the doll. The villians were all played by the same singer too (Carlo Cigni). DH told me that this is not done so often anymore. I just say wow.</p> <p>Anna are you going to go see it?</p> <p>Denise, thanks for the link! Have not looked to see if there is any overlap yet. This is the link to the production we saw:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.israel-opera.co.il/Eng/?CategoryID=658&amp;ArticleID=1749">http://www.israel-opera.co.il/.....cleID=1749</a></p> <p>Suz the jacket is cotton with acetate lining. It isn't for the heat but rather the a/c. Looks like summer though, right?</p> <p>Thank you all again for the wonderful boost! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-opera-with-okalas#post-1213870 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 08:34:29 +0000 Ledonna N. 1213870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very chic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-opera-with-okalas#post-1213848 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 06:33:09 +0000 CocoLion 1213848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! &nbsp;The black and white is elegant and modern. &nbsp;&nbsp;You are inspiring me to wear my harem pants to the opera next time. &nbsp;I saw Tales of Hoffman at the San Francisco Opera in June. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--294wZdynA">&nbsp;Here are highlights</a>, I wonder if some of the same cast members performed in Israel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-opera-with-okalas#post-1213826 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 05:38:57 +0000 Caro in Oz 1213826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the whole outfit - another shoe twin here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-opera-with-okalas#post-1213825 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 05:28:46 +0000 JAileen 1213825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-opera-with-okalas#post-1213822 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 05:26:10 +0000 Aida 1213822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fabulous, Shevia!

Sort of similar to the EF harem skirt that I so admire.&nbsp;<br />Bag - thrift store Israeli designer Daniella Lehavi (this was a lucky find)<br />Shoes - need no introduction (Okalas ala Angie and many others)</p> <p>Funny extra story - we were in the elevator with three French ladies of what I am going to call the traditional school,&nbsp;carrying well cared for Dior bags and so on, and they were definitely discussing my shoes. Unfortunately I don't understand French so I can't tell you what they said! </p>
