And it is so lovely to 'see' you all again!</p> <p>Mona, wish I had pictures of the riot of flowers we have in the parks and all along the roads just now. The flame of the forest is on FIRE! Delhi's prettiest season I think.</p> <p>High five, Neel!</p> <p>Thanks, LAR! </p> <p>Joy, funny you should say that! We had surprise thundershowers yesterday. Work had an awards ceremony planned al fresco and weren't best pleased...</p> <p>Angie, thanks to you. I don't think I would have dreamt of this combination pre-YLF. Or dared buy another beige-based garment.</p> <p>MG, get some quick! They are ridiculously comfy.</p> <p>Echo, thank you! (Takes a bow)</p> <p>Beth Ann, you know... I actually bought the sandals for house slippers...but they seem too fun not to wear outside and delightfully comfy and are softer leather soles really practical in wet rooms... am torn! </p> <p>Suz, I surprised myself picking this colour and pattern. But they seemed versatile so fingers crossed they go with lots as you say. Neel IS clever. I can picture it... now I just hv to find those stripes---fear I lost most in the last closet purge.</p> <p>Sara, thank you. I have a feeling I will have no trouble wearing this right out by October or so.</p> <p>ETA: thank you too, Ladywone! Sorry missed your comment the first time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-shape-of-summer#post-1208785 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 20:08:46 +0000 Sara L. 1208785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! &nbsp;I love the structured top with the very loose, unstructured bottoms. &nbsp;Perfect for warm weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-shape-of-summer#post-1208767 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 19:57:16 +0000 Suz 1208767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - love Neel's suggestion for a striped top for some pattern mixing. Clever.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-shape-of-summer#post-1208765 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 19:56:17 +0000 Suz 1208765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants are brilliant! I love the drape, the pattern, and the way they read as a neutral, yet are a pattern. Plus, I love coloured footwear in summer.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd wear those pants with just about any colour top that you like.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-shape-of-summer#post-1208758 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 19:52:25 +0000 Beth Ann 1208758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good to see you, Mandipa!&nbsp; I can experience warm temperatures through you!</p> <p>Love the harem pants on you --- excellent fit and pattern.&nbsp; This is a terrific outfit for your lifestyle and the more streamlined top is a perfect balance for the volume in the bottoms.&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm so glad to see your colored shoes!&nbsp; I know footwear has given you fits in the past, and the bit of color really makes a difference.&nbsp; I agree with Astrid that vest layering would work well for you, particularly in your climate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-shape-of-summer#post-1208670 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 18:15:39 +0000 Echo 1208670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look.

You make me want a pair of those draped pants for hot weather. I hope that you get the rain that you are praying for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-shape-of-summer#post-1208476 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 13:44:35 +0000 LAR101 1208476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-shape-of-summer#post-1208473 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 13:38:56 +0000 Neel 1208473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wearing my harems too right now so you know what I am going to say about your outfit :). Breezy and fun! You could also try a striped top for some pattern mixing fun. Good to see you again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-shape-of-summer#post-1208460 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 13:11:34 +0000 Mona 1208460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see you, Mani. I love the juxtaposition of structured top with voluminous pants and the sandals are a lovely colour.<br />If only we can have 1/10th of that weather here. No spring in sight in Canada. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-shape-of-summer#post-1208436 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 12:33:10 +0000 Astrid 1208436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that might not be very practical with the white then. I really like the idea of a denim shirt-vest. I also need some summer bottoms suitable for work, one lonely skirt isn't going to cut it I'm afraid and my shorts show too much leg for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-shape-of-summer#post-1208424 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 12:12:28 +0000 ManidipaM 1208424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Astrid. Great ideas! I was going to try a denim shirt-vest. Will be looking out for turquoise and pinks too when I go top shopping (trying to sort bottoms out first as they tend to be my outfit-building bottleneck) too. White, alas, won't survive a day of teaching my toddler to feed himself with a spoon (he wanted to brush my hair with it yesterday) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-shape-of-summer#post-1208414 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 11:55:11 +0000 Astrid 1208414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new pants. Great pattern! I think the black top goes well with them. Nice to have a bit of color with the shoes too. How about wearing a semi-structured white/cream blouse or shirt with the pants? Or some color - turquoise or coral maybe. I think the pants pretty much work as a neutral and should go with everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-shape-of-summer#post-1208393 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 11:12:03 +0000 ManidipaM 1208393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Technically, we just hit spring! But it feels pretty hot and summery here on the northern plains of India. The coasts are already sweltering and praying for monsoons on time in June.</p> <p>Time, then, for even sleeve-preferring me to bust out the sleeveless tops ... though it is still not so warm that I have to give up my preference to have my legs under (cool) cover.</p> <p>These new dropped-crotch harem pants and (tangerine! and purple!) sandals went well with the old black top I don't wear often enough (too dark for summer and too skimpy for winter!) Do the proportions look ok? Any other suggestions on silhouette, colours, alternative pairings... anything at all?</p> <p>And yeah I am 4 ft 10 in and ok with wearing flats with voluminous printed pants </p>
