I like the olive and black together. And of course, the Doc Martens are fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-casual-1-01-05#post-1876078 Sat, 06 Jan 2018 22:33:19 +0000 Elizabeth P 1876078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!&nbsp; And Bernard :)<br />Karen, that's a great idea.&nbsp; I never really think if dying, but this sweater is cotton, so would probably take it well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-casual-1-01-05#post-1876053 Sat, 06 Jan 2018 20:30:14 +0000 Windchime 1876053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your choice of Doc Martens with this warm deep winter outfit! You look fabulous in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-casual-1-01-05#post-1876049 Sat, 06 Jan 2018 20:13:29 +0000 karen13 1876049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit looks great - I love the boots! </p> <p>On the faded sweater, do you like it enough to re-dye? I just had good success with a pair of black consignment store jeans that had whiskering and fashion fading that went to low on the leg for my taste - (I'm 5'2" and this always happens when I buy regular length jeans). I bought some good quality black cotton dye from Dharma trading and boiled them on the stovetop per directions. Now I have a nice solid black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-casual-1-01-05#post-1876042 Sat, 06 Jan 2018 19:30:12 +0000 Anonymous 1876042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very cool </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-casual-1-01-05#post-1876040 Sat, 06 Jan 2018 19:27:34 +0000 Katerina 1876040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool outfit!

Interesting about the black sweaters. Without seeing the others, I think you chose the right one. It is heavy for deep winter ( if not worn now, when?). And it has interesting details. We are Dre olive jean sisters. Mine are definitely part of the 30/30 but are closer to full length on me than ankle, much like yours look. The black sweater brings out their olive goodness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-casual-1-01-05#post-1875981 Sat, 06 Jan 2018 16:17:10 +0000 Elizabeth P 1875981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Dre olive jeans were a no brainer to start off my casual 30 choices. They are so comfortable, I'll be wearing them a lot... I have many sporting events in the next couple of weeks that will involve driving and sitting, so it's really important that at least some of my casual clothes are as comfortable as loungewear... which these are.</p> <p>The challenge aspect of this outfit was to decide what black sweater to wear.&nbsp; I have three that I could have worn with the jeans, so which one do I want to repeat over the next few months, if the other two don't make the cut?&nbsp; I chose this one - it's a bit heavier, has texture, and an asymmetrical zippered neck.&nbsp; Definitely a "deep winter" piece.&nbsp; This outfit is a bit more casual than I usually wear to work, but we had a delayed start due to the storm, and I had no meetings, so I wore it anyway.&nbsp; It's definitely one I'll be happy to repeat on upcoming weekends. </p> <p>Now... to think about the two sweaters that didn't make the cut.&nbsp; One is fairly old, but has come back into frequent rotation since I got these jeans.&nbsp; It doesn't have a lot of life left, as it's fading due to washing, but I still really like how it fits.&nbsp; The second is more of a work one than a casual one, at least for Casual Friday's,&nbsp; and while it doesn't get worn a ton, I think it still holds a place.&nbsp; So no purges happening yet. </p> <p>Boots are Doc Marten.&nbsp; Taking advantage of no snow!</p>
