WIW: Culottes and hair au naturel (channelling my inner Jane Fonda :))

I'm finally in sandals and bare legs...yay! Lovely Summers day here in the UK at last...we've had a few days like this and are expecting a few more I think.

Culottes and my trusty retro-inspired Clarks sandals were todays choice for seeing some new clients and also popping out to the shops. You're seeing my hair in its natural state for the first time here. I totally ran out of time to finish styling it last night and in the end I gave up and said 'what the heck, I'll leave it wavy' (DS calls me a 'curly fry'... cute!). Anyway... seeing as Angie has likened my style akin to Jane Fonda lately, I thought this channelled her quite well. That's my story anyway

Tee : S Oliver

Culottes : Made by me

Sandals : Clarks

Bag : Dorothy Perkins

You look FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! I had no idea your hair was naturally wavy! Looks really fresh here.

Yay to summer finally arriving at your doorstep!!! Your summer style is beautifully polished, even when you wear a tee!

Astrid

Looks breezy and fun! Great for a warm day. I like the hair - and I also thought you had naturally straight hair.

Your hair looks great wavy. I love those Clarks. The whole outfit looks fab. The Clarks bookend your hair. Now I really want orange shoes.

Gorgeous, Diane! I love your wavy hair--such a summery look. No need to faff about with styling products and tools when you get results like that.

You sure know how to make a girl feel good Manny Thank you!

Thanks Astrid! Yes. When all one length my hair curls more when longer, but when layered like this it waves all over.

Thanks StyleFan!

Thanks Aliona!

You look so cute and summery! I love your hair. I'd wear it like that every day if mine waved instead of frizzed in MidAtlantic heat.

kimlee

This is a great look for you. It screams summer and fun to me! Well done.

Suz

Love your hair wavy. I wonder if it were cut specifically to bring out the waves if you could do wash and wear Fonda shag? Mine will do that (I wore it that way for a while as a teen).

Those sandals are fantastic for you. The perfect touch.

Look you could be on charlie's angles . Did you tie a knot in the shirt? You have so much talent. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Jaime

Excellent outfit! and you should wear your hair that way more often Jane - I mean Diane !

Thanks so much ladies!

Suz, I think with my shorter layers as they are now, if I used the right product I may be able to get it wavier. Truth is I had stared to blow dry the sides last night in a quick attempt to control it and then gave up, so If I let it do it's own thing from the off it should be wavier there too. I'll have a chat with my stylist next time I go for more info.

LeDonna, it's my hair elastic method on my top as shown here: http://youlookfab.com/2015/07/.....top-trick/

Hah! Thanks so much Angie!

Love the hair, Diane! The waves are so pretty and the sandals are a perfect (retro) bookmark. Great culottes, love the proportions with the top.

Forgot to mention the cute hair. Go Team Wavy.

Oh, so pretty.

I love the hair but don't listen to me - I always love natural hair better than blown out and my style is not as polished as yours.

I love the snake print of the bag with the culottes taupe, the very-Diane touches of coral, the sandals, and I love the neckline of that tee on you. Ok, I love everything, in a nutshell.

(We've had a Summer day today too, so I can comment on tee and sandals without sobbing, this time).

You nailed it. And I love the wavy hair.

Thanks Tanya!

Yay, go team wavy Angie!

Thanks so much Isabelle! I'm so pleased to hear you've had better weather today too.

Thanks Robin!

Vicki

You look so pretty, Diane, and, WOW, do you pose well. Your outfit, and the colors look magnificent on you. LOVE the culottes and Jane Fonda would be honored seeing her younger sister.

Aida

Lovely as always, Diane! Culottes love you ^^ Really liking the white and coral paired with the gray/taupe. More love for the wavy hair, it looks great! I am going to suggest the same to you that I did to Joy: add a little texture to get it a little more tousled OR piecey looking. For texture I like salt sprays; should be good with your climate, too. This is the one I use (teal), and also a dry shampoo-hair spray hybrid that will add both volume AND texture.

I love it wavy! I really don't know how you keep it straight most days. When I visit the UK, no matter what I do in the am, my hair ends up massively wavy due to the weather there.

I was expecting something more wild while reading your description.

I've been enjoying warmer weather and letting my hair dry naturally but with product sometimes. It's not exactly wavy but it goes in a lot of different directions instead of tucked under.

JAileen

I love your hair, and I love your outfit.

sylvie55

I love this elbow-sleeve tee, and your wavy hair. And the shoes!

anne

Diane you look lovely - but I have to say I was expecting a bigger change from your usual hair too!

Firecracker (Sharan)

Oh, yes, you channel Jane Fonda quite well! I love this outfit on you, Diane. Thanks for showing me how to wear culottes. Yours are just right on you, and the tee, sandals and animal-print bag look summery and chic.

Thank you Vicki! ps...I always have a quick practice pose in the mirror before I take a photo

Thanks Aida! I was hoping you'd chime in about hair. I'll look into some products.

Thanks Cheryl and Crst!

UmmLila and Anne...Maybe I should have shown a back view too...its always much curlier there, hehe.

Thanks JAileen, Sylvie and Sharan!
