I'm definitely wearing this again before I destroy that tunic (it's about 5 years old and a very fine cotton, so am surprised it's still holding up on clumsy me).</p> <p>Scarlet, I think it only works with this particular pair of earrings because the hook of one and the post of the other are both pretty slender. With anything sturdier, I don't think I could push in two at once either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-666117 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 19:56:33 +0000 catgirl 666117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a classic Indian color combination - I adore it. Orange and hot pink is one of my favorite combinations (also so Hawaiian!), and red just makes it even better. Love your earring trick too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-666111 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 19:53:50 +0000 Anonymous 666111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love these brights on you!

The earrings look gorgeous, but I am pretty surprised that works to wear two at once. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-666023 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 19:13:08 +0000 Freckles 666023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning Mandipa! Your kurtas are making me lust after gorgeous tunics. The earring discovery is totally awesome...I will have to look at my earrings in a new way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665952 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 18:21:41 +0000 Diana 665952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your sunset colors! You and MaryK are on the same wavelength today. And so clever with the earrings! They really look like they were made to be together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665943 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 18:13:31 +0000 Meredith1953 665943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love the color pairings! They look lovely on you and you are so darn clever with that earring trick. The kurta length looks great by the way and the color is gorgeous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665914 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 17:37:54 +0000 Anonymous 665914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the two colours together, I don't think it is too much at all. It makes your skin glow. The earring layering is cool, I have some similar pairs, I will try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665836 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:46:12 +0000 ManidipaM 665836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again for all the kind comments, lovely ladies!</p> <p>Claire and Vicki, the bag's just a woven straw tote --- (undyed) beige and brown, though in the the photograph it looks more like a graphic print I guess! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665833 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:44:35 +0000 rae 665833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You were spot on comparing this outfit to a beautiful sunset! Love love love. I could even see you going further next time with a bright orange scarf. The bag even reminds me of a fluffy-textured cloud wafting in front of the sunset. :)</p> <p>I also really dig what you have done with the earrings - very creative way to make use of both designs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665819 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:34:55 +0000 Vicki 665819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Manidipa, as soon as I saw your gorgeous and colorful photo, I had to click!!! Stunning in color and LOL at your "outdoing the sunset" and "Arctic Office" comments (love your sense of humor!).</p> <p>These colors work beautifully together and you've inspired me to get bolder with brights. I love your white print bag and I see where Alecia is coming from with the addition of another white piece (cuff or necklace). I'm so glad to see you added the orange earrings and to wear both together is genius. Sunrise and sunsets will be taking lessons from you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665787 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:54:20 +0000 ManidipaM 665787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, you're right! In fact, they rather reminded me of persimmons and cape gooseberries! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665773 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:23:46 +0000 Anonymous 665773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is gorgeous and not too bright at all! It looks perfect to my eye, and *if* the length of the kurta was an issue (I don't think it is), the ombre effect of the pink-to-red helps hide the line of demarcation between the top and bottoms. </p> <p>The earring trick is genius! The filigree one is reminiscent of leaves and the orange stone of fruit! Love it. I'm sure the viscose pashmina added a nice touch indoors, too. Love the graphic black and white tote with this. It really shows that you know what you're doing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665761 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:08:52 +0000 JR 665761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a brilliant idea to double up the earrings! I wonder if I have any that would lend themselves to that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665750 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:00:53 +0000 ManidipaM 665750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara and others who like the doubled-up earrings, I was 'inspired' purely by a happy accident. I'd put on the orange ones, and then thought I'd switch to the silver. So I held one up to my ear to compare... and its slim stem just slipped right in over the hook of the orange one. Huh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665746 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 13:58:29 +0000 Abie 665746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! This outfit makes me really happy. The bright colors look great on you. I would have never thought to pair the pink with the orange/coral but they look really good together. </p> <p>Cool earring trick too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665738 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 13:52:31 +0000 Sara L. 665738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pink tunic and red skinnies! The earring idea is inspired! I would never have thought of combining two different pairs and these two look great together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665737 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 13:52:28 +0000 ManidipaM 665737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I'm heartened to hear that it's not blinded anyone yet, and indeed has Alecia asking for more bright (white) and Ramya for more sun-catching metallic (silver) :-D</p> <p>Shannon, the worst of the Arctic Office here is that it is unevenly cooled --- which means the editor of our magazine keeps going home early to nurse a migraine brought on my poor ventilation or heat; while I am wrapped up in a shawl or jacket *in the same room with her*. It is rather hilarious...on a good day! :-/ But hey, at least I can layer all through the year, which must be considered a fashion advantage.</p> <p>Beth Ann, I think I'm rather happy to be reunited with the other long-lost half of my wardrobe :-p --- for a change, pretty literally! It's almost like having a heap of new things from a shopping pree, plus I have actually been shopping too. What fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665728 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 13:32:23 +0000 Beth Ann 665728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

Love this bright and happy combination Manidipa!

We need a whole brigade of women to challenge the sun these days --- some of us would like to see a bit more of that star, I gather, while the rest of us wish it'd get a move on and let the clouds take over already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665644 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 11:15:49 +0000 jayne 665644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cool idea with the earrings!

Looove the brightness! What a clever idea with earrings.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665629 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 09:38:27 +0000 ramya 665629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfit... I think it would look great with some silver "chappals" if you know what I mean... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665628 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 09:35:23 +0000 Deborah 665628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Manidipa, this is gorgeous! I adore the pink amd red together and both are colors that look lovely on you. Clever idea with the earrings they look so pretty. I also think adding something in white would work well. You must wear this again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665616 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 07:06:44 +0000 Kirti 665616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous Manidipa! I love the pop of orange. I think the kurta length is just right </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665611 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 06:37:04 +0000 ManidipaM 665611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Alecia --- will definitely keep that in mind for next time, since I am a serial repeater of outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665609 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 06:26:29 +0000 Alecia 665609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This combination is beautiful. Might I suggest adding one more white accessory - something like a long beaded necklae or a cuff. I feel like that'd ground the look a bit more but keep it squarely in a summer vibe. I don't mind the length of the tunic. Your DIY earrings are great! Love that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sky-high-brightness-plus-new-earring-trick#post-665606 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 06:19:56 +0000 ManidipaM 665606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Worn to work and sundry errands. Bag also holds hot pink viscose 'pashmina' that I forgot to photograph, needed in the Arctic Office.</p> <p>Is outdoing the sunset a bit too bright in the a.m.? At high noon, especially? You tell me --- but this combination has been running around my head ever since I got those red skinnies; and I just *had* to try it once. Is the longer length of tunic too stumpifying as well, especially with flats?</p> <p>Apologies for the wet bedraggled hair fresh from the shower. I promise it dries into something more presentable by the time I arrive at work.</p> <p>Also, because I couldn't NOT add orange to hot pink and bright red... I wore orange agate earrings --- and then added an extra drop of silver for good measure (the kurta, aka tunic, has gold trim at sleeves and neckline; pre-YLF I'd have had to feel especially m-a-d to even try combining metallics). By which I mean, I wore both earrings at once! </p> <p>The orange stone beads on a hook feel too heavy for their slim 'throat' and, to me, look like they dangle in mid-air below my ears. The old tarnished silver-wire filigree is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and was a wedding gift from a dear friend, but feels a bit frail for my own non-frail proportions. So I doubled up. And was surprised to like the results enough to wear them again and again. The last photo shows you the earrings separately. </p>
