My favourite is the pants outfit. &nbsp;I thought Katherine Hepburn too &amp; love the idea of making it look like a jumpsuit. Love your playful pup too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609982 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 22:06:53 +0000 Brooklyn 1609982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks shaz!<br /> Thanks Diane G. I will try!<br /> Thanks Sally. I am glad you chimed in :). I thought Katherine Hepburn too with the pants. Or Lauren Bacall. I adore her look. I am thinking they could also be styled with a black top to look like a 70s jumpsuit.<br /> Thanks Denise. The hot weather is hard on style. And my hair is constantly having a humidity melt down!<br /> Thanks TG and LynD. I do get changed into more practical attire when we go hiking.<br /> Thanks Janet. I think I know the top you mean. I am a big fan of Anthro and I keep a close eye on their stuff. I think the one you mention was also a poly cotton blend. The Decjuba top is pure cotton and that suits me better in summer. I bought 2 and am thinking of dyeing the second one. Forest green or plum! Yummy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609952 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 20:57:37 +0000 Lyn D. 1609952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the plum Maxi especially too!<br />When I see the Roo pic I imagine &nbsp;Terri Irwin kaki shorts and shirt &nbsp;rather than something so glam </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609936 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 20:06:40 +0000 Janet 1609936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in all of these! My favorite is #1. There was a top at Anthro last year similar to that top, but the weight of the fabric was a bit heavy, and the hemline and drape were not as nice as the top you have. I wish that were available here -- I would buy one in a heartbeat!</p> <p>The roo is seriously impressive. Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609930 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 19:59:46 +0000 Helena 1609930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How elegant you are!!

I love that first look- chic and modern. The pendant makes a great addition.</p> <p>The wide pants are great- quite Katherine Hepburn. They will be fun to style and wear.</p> <p>And of course I love 3 - stunning evening look. You look beautiful with the real Brooklyn!</p> <p>Kangaroos are magnificent creatures, I was amazed to see so many on our trips to Wilpena Pound and inland NSW. </p> <p>Your looks have a touch of drama that like- inspirational. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609918 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 18:57:35 +0000 Anonymous 1609918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, three awesome looks. The top and skirt in #1 are fab. I love the cross-over back detail and high-low effect. In #your second outfit, the ombre draped top and wide pants are so elegant. I also think the plum coloured dress is gorgeous too and you have some lovely pendants and bags. Post more often....pretty please? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609796 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 10:34:36 +0000 shaz 1609796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow great outfits on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609791 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 07:48:46 +0000 Brooklyn 1609791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks AG. You are very kind but&nbsp;IRL I am quite the big boned lass! A moose sounds as exotic to me as I assume a kangaroo does to you. I would love to see that. At the place we visit in the country there are literally hordes of roos (also rabbits, foxes, wild pigs, echidnas, snakes&nbsp;and the occasional wild deer).</p> <p>Echo, thank you. You made me laugh. I suppose the title "crop top" can conjure up images of bare midriffs a la Britney Spears. I am happy to have surprised you.</p> <p>Shevia, thank you. You are always so generous with your comments. And Ms B could make anyone smile.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609737 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 03:41:05 +0000 Jaime 1609737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your backyard guest is quite awesome. But so are you in these outfits. Especially the first one, which is just perfect in every way. Also noticed your gorgeous smile in the picture with Ms. B. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609728 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 02:59:47 +0000 Echo 1609728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, in my preconceived notions of almost all of the clothing items mentioned in the title, I dislike them. But every one of these outfits is gorgeous on you; you wear them VERY well. It just goes to show that I need to give different silhouettes a chance before dismissing them!</p> <p>And what an incredibly beautiful animal! I would LOVE to be able to see such am amazing creature in my own back yard. This time of year, I need to be happy with a few birds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609709 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 01:10:49 +0000 catgirl 1609709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a WILD kangaroo?&nbsp; I LOVE IT!&nbsp; I can imagine the dog situation though - that's how our dog is with moose.</p> <p>You look gorgeous - you are like a model with your figure and these looks just emphasize it perfectly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609647 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 22:00:11 +0000 Brooklyn 1609647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aida. It's nice to be missed! And I do have, er, rather a lot of cuffs. You are very observant!<br /> Thanks Donna and Shedev!<br /> Thanks Rachylou. We call our dog Ms B. She is the "real" Brooklyn. I love being called Brooklyn because I aspire to be more like her. :)<br /> Thanks Smittie. When I first became active in the forum there was a debate about maxi dresses and whether they are flattering. I am pro maxi dress as a dressy summer option. And, as I said to Sally in a recent post, in summer they prevent your legs from being bitten by mozzies and sand flies at dusk and in the evening. I wasn't kidding about that!<br /> The kangaroo was grazing in the backyard when we first got up in the morning. Unfortunately we had to go and shoo him away before we let our dog out. We were worried they could have a stoush. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609473 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 14:43:54 +0000 Anonymous 1609473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your plum maxi is my favourite - it looks magnificent on you. I love the complete colour coordination.&nbsp;<br />The tube skirt and palazzo pants look great too.<br />Your dog is so cute!&nbsp;I don't know what happens when the kangaroo comes around (I assume the kangaroo shot is taken close to your house.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609463 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 14:22:05 +0000 shedev 1609463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits.

LOVE that first outfit on you, I can definitely see why you duplicated that little sweater. Especially like the longer length in back, I think I need a cropped top or two like that for more comfortable movement. The crossover palazzo pants in the second outfit are a fun alternative to a maxi skirt. And the color of the dress in the third is really lovely on you! Looks good with the matchy purse/accessories, and of course with the cute pup. You've got some really great cuffs, by the way.</p> <p>That kangaroo is seven feet? Does not look like a critter I want to mess with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609328 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 01:46:22 +0000 Brooklyn 1609328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And many thanks to you too Colette. I like the long dresses and flowy pants as a way of looking dressy but keeping reasonably cool in summer. I get so sick of wearing shorts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609327 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 01:44:32 +0000 Brooklyn 1609327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much JAileen, Bonnie G and Lisa.<br /> Lisa, I can assure you I have cyclist's thighs also. I am very self conscious about them! But we are all our own harshest critics, aren't we?<br /> And yes, the Roo's paws are very scary. He was about 7 feet tall standing upright. So you don't want to mess with him! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609325 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 01:41:27 +0000 Colette 1609325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all your outfits! And your dog is adorable playing with your skirt. In the summer my style shifts and I wear maxi dresses and flowy wide leg pants all the time too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609324 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 01:36:14 +0000 Anonymous 1609324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off - and not in order of importance - but I had no idea kangaroos had such scary paws! Yikes. Your dog is the cutest - playing with your skirt.</p> <p>Your outfits are all stunning - that little Decjuba top is so flattering , no wonder you bought 2! &nbsp;You wear a variety of different looks so well, and have an enviable figure on which to experiment. All fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609323 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 01:35:16 +0000 Bonnie 1609323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All great outfits but my favorite is the first one. Love the roo photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609320 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 01:32:03 +0000 JAileen 1609320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG a kangaroo! How exciting to see!</p> <p>I like all of your outfits. They're easy, yet sophisticated. I especially like the ombre top, but the other outfits are really nice too. Your dog is very sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-3-crop-top-uber-wide-leg-pants-and-maxi-dress-bonus-maxi-roo#post-1609315 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 01:16:46 +0000 Brooklyn 1609315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all</p> <p>Some summer outfits I have worn lately. The last 2 pics were taken while on summer holiday in the bush. A large male roo came grazing in the backyard. Be sure to check out the size of his paws!</p> <p>Outfit 1: Knit crop top with tube skirt. The top is new. It has that high low thing happening and a cute crossover back. Only $40 from Decjuba so I bought 2. The other one may fall victim to project dye (more on that later). I like the way it freshens up and tones down the animal print skirt.</p> <p>Top: Decjuba, Tube skirt: Metalicus, Bag: Halston Heritage.</p> <p>Outfit 2: Uber wide leg pants. I only have 2 pairs of pants (not including jeans) and both of them are winter weight so I have been on the look out for something more light weight. These appealed to me as something different and flowy for warmer weather (I struggle with fitted pants in summer). They have a crossover front and are so wide leg that they look like a maxi skirt. I had to stand in a somewhat awkward position to demonstrate that they are in fact pants. The ombre top is actually a tunic but does not fit me properly (despite alterations). So I am being sneaky here and wearing it wrapped around my waist 1980s cummerbund style.</p> <p>Pants: Cue, Ombre top: Young Fabulous and Broke, Bag: Halston Heritage.</p> <p>Outfit 3: Maxed out in head to toe plum. I thought I would post this for solidarity with fellow maxi fan Sally/Kiwigal (waving across the ditch ). And because it is such a cute photo of my dog. I was trying to get her to pose with me but she wanted to play with my skirt instead. Reason enough to enjoy wearing a maxi! The dress is by Heather. Mine is a couple of years old but the same style seems to be sold on Shopbop every (Northern) summer. It originally had cap sleeves but I had them removed because they had an annoying tendency to bunch around my shoulders.</p> <p>Feedback always appreciated </p>
