They've been great for weekends and such. I wish my office wasn't so cold so I could wear them to work.<br /> I'm not keen on my legs, but I like dresses too much to not wear them at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/age-appropriate#post-14427 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:04:09 +0000 Anonymous 14427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so happy for you Sarbear. Have fun with your new shopping experiences. Have you tried wrap blouses or dresses? I ask this because you said you are still in the process of loosing wieght, and they are adjusable, flattering too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/age-appropriate#post-14398 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 14:43:08 +0000 Sarah 14398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love BCBG. Many of my clothes are from there (the trousers I'm wearing today, in fact!).<br /> I purchased a great pair of slacks there last year but now they are too big. Right now I'm trying to not spend quite as much as I'm still in the process of losing weight. I have taken boxes and boxes of nice things to donate because they no longer fit. Which is good and bad. :)<br /> Ana, I have tried JCrew, and I love the more dressy looks. I had a Sophia and a Grace dress that I recently had to give away. I have not tried their jeans or tops much, so maybe I will check it out.<br /> I got the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Catalog in the mail yesterday and there are only a small handful of things I don't love. Looking at pictures really helps me determine what my style is.<br /> I think I've ruled out so many things because of my body type/shape. But I'm wondering if maybe I was a tad mis-informed in the past. Shopping is a lot more exciting now when I don't have to look at 90% of the racks and say "cute, but I can't". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/age-appropriate#post-14352 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 03:39:21 +0000 Tanya 14352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too! I am constantly getting tempted to add LOL after every Nicole's post!</p> <p>Sarah, I'd try BCBG too if you are OK with their prices. The pieces are very nice yet slightly different. I am a big fan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/age-appropriate#post-14340 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 02:42:22 +0000 Becky 14340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, Ana, I don't get annoyed, 'cause I'm loling as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/age-appropriate#post-14310 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 01:34:17 +0000 Ana 14310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Nicole! People might start getting annoyed that I am posting lols at you all the time--you should just assume I laugh hysterically at everything you say (and usually tell Brendan who thinks it's pretty funny as well). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/age-appropriate#post-14296 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:47:59 +0000 Nicole 14296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that's a shocker! Ana recommending J.Crew! What next? Tanya endorsing wrap tops? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/age-appropriate#post-14273 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 22:08:34 +0000 Ana 14273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, have you tried J. Crew? I think some of their stuff would be right up your alley. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/age-appropriate#post-14212 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:14:38 +0000 Sarah 14212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer to, actually. A lot of times I run errands on my way home and in this heat dressing up too much is not usually an option.<br /> I do have a challenge, though. My boss keeps the air very cold, and I have to wear two-sometimes three-layers. I have been just wearing the same black cardigan and jacket over everything since I don't keep them on once I leave.<br /> Thanks for your help, Angie. I hope I'm not cluttering up the forum too much!<br /> I did see a few pair of skinnies/straight leg jeans that I'm interested in trying out. I was curious though, as you said to wear them a little longer so they bunch at the ankle - will a pair like this work under boots in the fall? I think more than anything I don't know what "my style" is, and I'm a little tired of being in a rut. I don't make changes very often as I like sticking with what is safe. But I'm trying to be better about that now. This site has really helped me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/age-appropriate#post-14205 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:55:25 +0000 Angie 14205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is good. Do you ever go to work “smart casually”? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/age-appropriate#post-14181 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:36:19 +0000 Sarah 14181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I do not. I work in an insurance office, and as long as I'm not in shorts or ratty jeans and a graphic tee, I'm okay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/age-appropriate#post-14084 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:41:49 +0000 Angie 14084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a work dress code? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/age-appropriate#post-14059 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 17:56:56 +0000 Sarah 14059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I dress too old, but I don't think I dress young enough either. I mostly shop at Macys and Banana Republic because I like very classic, yet fun styles - mostly for work.<br /> I saw the thread on Express and I was also challenged recently to try some skinny or straight leg jeans and I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for stores appropriate for younger looking styles. I don't want to dress like I'm 16, but I am 26.<br /> I also want to say that I don't think anyone is limited to anything because of age. I just know that I could probably branch out a lot more than I do. </p>
