All right then, the harem pant look is mine. All others must cite the copyright. ha ha! <br />I'm thinking I could try to make some harem pants. They *should* be easy, right?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-variations-on-themes#post-1285888 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 18:52:25 +0000 Suz 1285888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said. I was going to say that nobody wears those harem pants better than you -- they are a signature style piece for you, I would say, and you know exactly how to make them shine. Love them on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love seeing all your sneakers, too, as usual! &nbsp;</p> <p>Also, that MBM (made by me) label has got to be the best one ever.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-variations-on-themes#post-1285837 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 18:01:27 +0000 Anonymous 1285837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous set of outfits! All of the items you made yourself are great as per usual. I'm particularly taken by the black and grey cardigan in 2 and the top in 7. In fact 2/3 and 7/8 are my favourites out of the group. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-variations-on-themes#post-1285827 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 17:52:13 +0000 Neel 1285827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2/3 and 7/8 are my absolute favorites! The harems are absolutely beautiful on you. And such pretty tops. I am always in awe of your sewing skills. Fantastic outfits all around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-variations-on-themes#post-1285748 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 16:43:36 +0000 Angie 1285748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well Hello Queen Seattle Sneaker.
