I can't tell if the softness is coming from the faded colors or not, but I do see what you mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcut-boot-camp-in-vest-ing-in-springs-softer-side#post-859881 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:51:59 +0000 Angie 859881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's all relative :).

Love those boot cuts with the vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcut-boot-camp-in-vest-ing-in-springs-softer-side#post-859714 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:56:07 +0000 amiable 859714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pulley! And the outfit too - the stripes jeans are too cool. But the pendant is my favorite. I may have to copy this idea (string something small and useful as a necklace....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcut-boot-camp-in-vest-ing-in-springs-softer-side#post-859712 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:54:49 +0000 Tanya 859712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, another stunning outfit Rae! And what gorgeous pictures. really love the play of all the colors in here.</p> <p>I wore bootcuts for 5 days in a row and switched back to straight legs today, I was longing for a slimmer shape. I did however promise to myself to try and wear bootcuts/flares at leas once a week to work, so that will be my ongoing challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootcut-boot-camp-in-vest-ing-in-springs-softer-side#post-859706 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:50:56 +0000 rae 859706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny enough, my "softer side" still involves engineer boots, engineer jeans, and a military vest. Soft coloring will have to do, I guess. </p> <p>If I could go back, I would not wear this particular sweater half-tucked. Looking at the pictures, the ribbed hem makes the tuck look awkward. If I could go back, I would probably also avoid a ribbed hem on my sweater. I am wrapping up some final days of "boot camp" since I spent some of last week in gear. Today we have my Hudson "Hendrix" engineer stripe jeans, one of DH's favorites. Once again, my goal was to pair the classic bootcut jean with something trendy, so I pulled out my military vest and tried to keep the color scheme light and un-saturated (except for the belt and boots, which hopefully break up the pastel mass and bookend my hair). </p> <p>Pics 3-4 show the closeup of the denim pattern and what my pendant looks like - found a mini pulley at the hardware store and DH and I got a kick out of them for my utility-inspired fashion persona. My pulley is strung on a simple ball chain (the kind that hold dog tags).</p> <p>This is also another self-photo - I hope those are getting better! Exposure wasn't the issue this time; I just went out at a time of day with some harsh shadows. The result is a kind of unnatural head tilt toward the sun to try and make sure my head wasn't completely shrouded. </p> <p>BB Dakota military vest - Salvation Army<br /> Ann Taylor sweater - Ann Taylor<br /> Men's belt - flea market<br /> Hudson Hendrix jeans - Ebay?<br /> Nine West silver snake bag - flea market<br /> Rockport "Anna Motor" boots - Ebay<br /> Spy Optic "Zoe" sunnies - Ebay<br /> Pulley pendant - DIY via hardware store </p>
