I especially like #3, but these are all lovely outfits. You motivated me to do the challenge, too, and now you've reminded me to post the results. It is interesting how it got you (and me, too) to look at our wardrobe&nbsp; in a different way and to see some possible holes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belated-wrap-up-of-no-jeans-challenge#post-2201040 Tue, 08 Jun 2021 00:18:48 +0000 Anonymous 2201040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Love the pineapple dress! Cool green color for your office </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belated-wrap-up-of-no-jeans-challenge#post-2201025 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 22:59:08 +0000 Anonymous 2201025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab. I love the dress. I need to study your olive pants outfit more, and see if I have anything like your blue shirt. I know I have more of a navy shirt that might work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belated-wrap-up-of-no-jeans-challenge#post-2201012 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 22:22:45 +0000 slim cat 2201012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty - love the dress and the second outfit with olive pants ( nice color combo -I'll try it too ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belated-wrap-up-of-no-jeans-challenge#post-2201000 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 21:29:05 +0000 Tanya 2201000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of them, with the dress being my favorite.&nbsp; And waiving to my gladiator sandal twin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belated-wrap-up-of-no-jeans-challenge#post-2200999 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 21:23:50 +0000 kellygirl 2200999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous non-denim looks.

And super cute palazzos :)</p> <p>The other two outfits are wonderful too. #3 has a lovely fluidly tailored elegance about it.</p> <p>I sooooo get the need to switch out from blue jeans. That's why I love warmer weather for my ideal style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belated-wrap-up-of-no-jeans-challenge#post-2200989 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 20:46:53 +0000 Minaminu 2200989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab dress!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belated-wrap-up-of-no-jeans-challenge#post-2200987 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 20:33:38 +0000 Christina F. 2200987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to have disappeared - we painted my office and being amateurs, we have had to do a lot of touch ups since, mainly on the baseboards. And don’t ask about the ceilings… You will see the detritus still laying about in my mirror photos (all dried up by then, I assure you). </p> <p>Here is the end of the no jeans challenge. Two of the days were basically spent in pairing dungarees, which I will spare you:</p> <p>1. J Crew top, LOFT palazzo pants<br /> 2. J Crew shirt, Athleta pants<br /> 3 Madewell shirt and pants<br /> 4 Boden dress (surprise surprise)</p> <p>The challenge ended after May 31. The weather the following week was mild on some days and I added jeans back. Here is what I learned:</p> <p>1. I don’t have a ton of midweight, non-jean pants options. I could stand to add some but really, the shoulder season for such items is short. Especially in spring. I already have midweight pants in my preferred neutral colors, and recent added some pink ones, so I am not sure an extensive search is worth it. I’ll keep an eye out! Lots of earth tones this year, which don’t usually do it for me, alas, aside from olive. And I’m covered for olive. (I did order the same palazzo pants as these black ones, in a sage green, but this is more of a summer item.)</p> <p>2. I need to switch it up from jeans - as I suspected. When I’m back in the office, skirts and dresses will be more of an option in mild weather than they are this year. For now, I’m aiming for twice a work week until it’s too hot for them—which it already is on some days! </p>
