Visible Monday #100: One Hundred Weeks of Visibility!

Welcome to Visible Monday #100: Celebrating one hundred weeks of fabulous Visible Women! I appreciate all of you and savor this weekly party so much. I’ve met dozens of fabulous bloggers of all ages, and I hope you have made new friends too. Here’s to the next 100, long may we run!

Today I’m wearing a simple outfit with interesting lines. The trousers are courtesy of Soft Surroundings. This U.S. based company offers clothing and linens with three ratings: “so soft,” “heavenly soft,” and “ultimate soft”. What’s not to love? These are the Harlow pants, and they look/feel luxurious. They’re flowy and classic with a bit of the new palazzo revival. I recommend you check out Soft Surroundings’ site, the offerings are varied and delightful!

The silky top is from Ann Taylor LOFT, the outlet store (kind of similar). It was a great find at under $15, as it goes with all my solids, washes and dries in a minute, and has the open neckline I love. A dash of color comes from a skinny belt and bangle.

These slouchy trousers are comfortable as a skirt, and with pockets!
Simple and Visible for our centennial issue of VM. ☺

Now, let’s see what you’re wearing, Visible Women!!

  1. Love that slim pop of yellow in the belt! I've been out of town and didn't get to link up this week, but I still wanted to pop over and check things out. Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com

  2. Oh, Patti, congratulations on 100! You are really a fantastic motivator for me to post at least once a week. I love all the women who come here.
    Your Harlow pants are dreamy but I would think ultimate soft should be middle and heavenly soft should be the ultimate, don't you think? Your idea to punch this up with the lemon zesty belt is perfect. Thanks for hosting this fun party, Patti.

  3. Happy 100th Visible Monday! We sure have a lot to celebrate because of you. I hope it gives you as much pleasure as it does all of us who frequent your FABULOUS party … I'm so glad I met you, cause they don't come any classier than you, dear Patty.

    And you're just so cool in your louche little pants … some women just can't help being chic!

  4. Happy 100th Visible Mondays and to many, many more! Thank you for letting me be apart of your community.

    xoxo,
    Carrie

  5. Congratulations and THANK YOU! In my short time as a fashionista blogger, I have appreciated your website, insights, and Visible Monday so much!
    Your Harlow pants are killer cool – they look to be ultra comfy – but also make you look long and lean!

  6. Congrats on 100 weeks of Visibility!! :)) Those pants look luscious…the way they drape is so delicate & flattering. You look mighty visible and lovely, my dear!

    You're looking every bit the relaxed and friendly party hostess-with-the-mostest in that beautiful outfit – those trousers look wonderfully soft and comfy (don't you love linen for that? I'm wearing linen trousers in my post too), and I love the delicate pattern of that top. The yellow belt and bracelet are the perfect finishing touches.

  24. Patti, I LOVE your "giant" pants, as Amber calls them. Your styling is great, with a hint of retro appeal, along with the slice of yellow at the waist. You look dashing. And yes, congrats!! You've built an amazing forum that so many of us deeply appreciate. XXOO

  25. I love your super feminine top with the fluffy ruffles.

    100! What an auspicious day for me to contribute my first post to your Visible Mondays. This is where I found Spashionista, who, besides me, is the only disabled style blogger I know. I was so excited. Let's see who finds me.

  26. Happy 100th to Visible Monday!! I've met some amazing women in Bloglandia thanks to VM and thank you so much for getting us all together in one place every week Patti! xoxo

  27. Happy #100 and many more. What a spectacular creation for all of us to enjoy. About as much as I enjoy you slouchy trousers and colorful top, along with your radiant smile.

  28. I adore the idea of heavenly soft! This outfit is so elegant – love the thrifted top. I've had so much luck lately thrifting Loft, Banana Republic, and Talbot (and Vera Wang for Megan Mae) tops at the GoodWill and Salvation Army, that I'm really starting to adore my own wardrobe 😛

  29. Oh swoon! Major swoonage for those pants. I love drapey wide leg pants. So gorgeous.

    Congrats on 100 VMs. I need to participate in more of them. I always find amazingly well dressed people linked up here.

  30. Congratulations on reaching 100! You've provided a lovely venue for bloggers to get to know each other and I have appreciated the effort you've put into continuing VM for this length of time.

    You always look so elegant. I love the combination of slate gray, blues and purples with a dash of yellow.

  31. Hi Patti! Wow, 100 posts for Visible Monday! How Cool! This has been a great way to get together; thanks so much!

    Hope you enjoyed New York.

    Love the pants—very more like Garbo than Harlow, but nontheless very chic! xoxo

  32. Patti, KUDOS for having such a warm and welcoming place for us to gather every week. I love seeing the thumbnails of everyone, even if I can't make individual comments. If I could teleport a piece of my ube cake to you I would!

  33. One hundred times Visible! Congratulations Patti. Thanks so much for providing such a wonderful, supportive place to play!

  34. Thank you for Visible Mondays. It's has been a great place to meet other bloggers and get inspired.
    Love the retro pants and pretty colors in your top.

  35. Congrats 100 Visible Mondays!
    Love your pants and that yellow belt is just so perfect!

  36. Yay, 100 weeks of visibility! Yours is always the best party, Patti!

    I'm inspired by your outfit – I was looking through Soft Surroundings catalog, but just haven't decided on anything yet. Palazzo pants are one of my desires, so maybe I should stop looking. Also, I knew I wanted a colorful belt, but maybe not red. Your yellow is a perfect color accent!

    Here's to the next 100! :~)

  37. Those trousers do sound heavenly and look it too! Congratulations on the 100th Birthday of visible Monday! Thank you Patti – love it. XX

  38. Congratulations on 100 weeks! What an achievement!

    Oh and those slouchy trousers are everything.

  39. Those pants look great! I can't believe it's been 100 weeks! I still remember your post that started it all! What a great story and weekly feature!! Hugs girly! Serene

  40. Thanks Patti for creating a place to gather and congratulations on it's 100th birthday. This is such a wonderful way to meet other bloggers and I so appreciate your efforts.

    Loving your comfortable and cool pants with your pretty top. The yellow accent is lovely.

Anyway, congrats and keep the party going! BY the way, I love your pants! Perfect with even just a simple tee. The way the fabric falls is just stunning! Hmm, I wonder if they ships abroad…

  43. Congratulations on your #100 weeks of Visible Monday! And THANK YOU for allowing me to meet so many delightful women in a safe environment. I adore the palazzo pants and I am thrilled to know that I didn't give mine away. I'm going to dig them out right now. Palazzo pants were a staple for me years ago.

  53. One hundred, that's amazing! Patti, you are so brilliant to do Visible Mondays and give us all the opportunity to meet each other. I do hope all of the contributors to this milestone edition of VM leave you a lovely comment to say thanks.
    Love the drapey trousers, and the print and colours on that top are so pretty, very you. I wonder how the trousers would look with a fitted top, or a tucked-in white shirt, to really channel the Katherine Hepburn-esque style? I look forward to seeing how you experiment with them!
    Thank you again for being such a kind and supportive host. Not to mention a drop dead gorgeous one too! xxxx

  54. Patti, thank you SO much for Visible Monday! I've met so many amazing ladies here – including you, of course – that I never would've found without this linkup.
    I'm in love with the 30's vibe of your outfit and the print on that top is so beautiful! As always you wear it with panache 😉

    Spashionista (Alicia)

  55. Patti, CONGRATULATIONS on 100 Visible Mondays! Thank you for this gathering place and community you've built.

    Also, such a pretty top and lovely comfy outfit!
