Look of the Day: Leather and Sequins

Laura Marie Given — Fri, 25 May 2012 03:00:19 PDT

By sticking to simple, structured shapes and lighter shades, Fab reader postgradchic made leather and sequins work for daytime. She paired mint-hued, sequined shorts with a sleek camel-colored leather jacket, then added structure to the romper's blousy top with a brown leather belt. Pink pastel brogues kept the color scheme light and gave the outfit a more casual, summery feel. She chose a leather messenger bag that matched her relaxed style and topped off the look with white retro clubmaster-style sunglasses. The end result? A chic, dressy-meets-rugged mix that would work at any time of day.

Congrats, postgradchic!

Look of the Day: Pink and Gold

Fab reader smileforstyle showed us how to make a shimmery top work for daytime. She created the perfect office-to-happy-hour style by pairing bright pink wide-leg pants with a shiny gold tank. To keep the proportions in check and dress up the look, she tucked in the top and wore printed platform heels for extra height. The final touch? A sleek, ladylike shoulder bag that sticks to the warm color palette.

Congrats, smileforstyle!

Look of the Day: Spiked Wedges

Fab reader tinaciousme proved that you can mix and match opposites - say, a floral print and spiked wedges - for a modern, polished look that works just as well at the office as it does after hours. The key to her sleek style? Classic, tailored shapes and a simple color palette. She paired a breezy black-and-white floral blouse and black drawstring trousers with cool leather details. A cropped cut shows off her spiked platform wedges while a white structured satchel adds a touch of sophistication.

Congrats, tinaciousme!

Look of the Day: Metallic Ace

Marisa Tom — Tue, 22 May 2012 03:00:49 PDT

By combining two of the season's slickest styles, Fab reader Stylesbyassitan nailed the cool-girl look with a shiny-cum-sporty twist. First, she paired her silver metallic skinny jeans with a red knit topper. Then she added an athletic accent via her retro, two-toned varsity jacket. For the outfit finale, she donned black pointy-toed pumps and toted a boxy, black patent-leather bag. It's a no-frills look with a lot of street cred.

Congrats, Stylesbyassitan!

Look of the Day: Bold and Breezy

Marisa Tom — Mon, 21 May 2012 03:00:57 PDT

Fab reader MimisMuneca has us lusting after this gorgeously bright and breezy H&M maxi dress. More than that, though, she totally nailed the complete look by adding bold accents. Let's take a closer look. She paired a cool yellow clutch, statement gold cuff, and blue and green two-toned sandals with her aquamarine printed maxi dress. The sum of its stylish parts screams "Summer," and we're all for a pretty and polished ensemble that takes no time at all to re-create.

Congrats, MimisMuneca!

Floral denim iterations, bold red leather styles, and one work-appropriate high-low hem? All in a week's work for our stylish Fab community.

Here are our favorites: red, black, and white; casual denims; penny-pincher fashion; little details; red leather; floral denim delight; siren twist; barking gorilla; mint and distressed white; and rocking out. Congrats, all!

Look of the Day: Weekend Heels

Marisa Tom — Fri, 18 May 2012 03:00:12 PDT

Heading into the weekend with low-key style on your mind? So are we, but that doesn't mean we have to forgo our favorite pair of Zara sandals. Fab reader MsTwirlySkirts paired the two-toned heels with a neutral look on top, proving that off-duty ensembles can retain their chic finish. She tucked a slouchy black t-shirt into a white shorts for a contrasted-cool feel and then, polished it off with killer heels and a gold statement collar necklace. No other add-ons necessary.

Congrats MsTwirlySkirts!

Look of the Day: Pumped-Up Denim

Marisa Tom — Thu, 17 May 2012 03:00:23 PDT

In Fab reader Simmysashi's case, all it took was a pair of slick pumps and a trench vest add-on to dress up a pair of slouchy cuffed jeans. We love that she mixed casual separates, like a button-up collared t-shirt and denim, to offset a cool vest, black leather tote, and patent leather pointy-toe pumps. The result? A daytime outfit that can easily work for a low-key business meeting or a stylish afternoon of errands.

Congrats Simmysashi!

Look of the Day: Mellow Yellows

Marisa Tom — Wed, 16 May 2012 03:00:05 PDT

Fab reader Nettevartanian demonstrates that yellow-on-yellow can have a sweet, almost mellowing, effect. To do so, she tucked a loose-fitted white tank into a pair of neon lemon-lime skinny jeans, then she topped it off with soft yellow blazer. Instead of ending up with a loud look, the juxtaposition of bright vs. pastel creates an inversely cool, refined take on color. Finally, she accessorized with an embellished gold clutch and nude sandals.

Congrats Nettevartanian!

Look of the Day: Bright White

Marisa Tom — Tue, 15 May 2012 03:00:52 PDT

Fab reader Dadouchic has provided us with a brighter-than-bright outlook on the denim trend. How did she do it? First, she paired a silky orange button up blouse with white skinny jeans. Then, outfitted the look with a black skinny belt, a bold oversized pink envelope clutch, and Zara's colorfully two-toned sandals. To finish, she added a gold watch, a stack of friendship bracelets, a gold pendant necklace, and modified cat-eye sunglasses. It's Summer-chic and perfect for an evening of cocktails al fresco.

Congrats Dadouchic!
