Looks of the Week!

Laura Marie Given — Sun, 27 May 2012 04:00:54 PDT

This week, our Fab Community stuck to striking neon pieces and bright, mixed prints. From cropped floral pants to polka-dot skinny jeans, our readers proved that bold bottoms work well with both neutrals and patterns. Whether mini or maxi, skirts were full of volume and paired with simple tops in classic shapes. High heels and structured handbags topped off the looks, adding a refined element to the colorful prints. Here are our favorites: florals and spots, neo(n)-bohemian, floral love, siren twist, '60s sweater, dress to impress, neon dots, sequins and ruffles, date night, and icky pop. Congrats all!

Just because it's the weekend - and a holiday one, at that - doesn't mean you have to leave your styling prowess at the office. Instead, channel your off-duty panache via slick sneakers, polished flats, and a plethora of flirty floral frock options. If dresses aren't your thing, no problem. We've culled a cool mix of savvy street stylers from around the world who have nailed that laid-back but totally sophisticated look. For a brunch with the girls, opt for brighter knits and prints; for a chilled-out BBQ, don denim cutoffs and a breezy white blouse; and for drinks al fresco, try sexier semisheer and lace-infused silhouettes. And trust us, these ensembles take minimal effort but prove chic through and through. Keep clicking to get inspired, 15 ways, and then approach Memorial Day weekend with a fresh outfit outlook.

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!

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

Laura Marie Given — Wed, 23 May 2012 03:00:52 PDT

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!

Look of the Day: Pumped-Up Denim

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.
