Your Christmas look was lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245605 Mon, 27 Dec 2021 16:03:40 +0000 Janet 2245605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your festive top for Christmas! Hair and makeup on point as always. And your daughter is so lovely. Great stylish gear!</p> <p>Sigh, I hear you on the jeans. Button fly is hard to do well. My COH Emersons are my only button fly and it works for me because they’re not high waisted and it’s a boyfriend cut so some ease is built into the style. I’m sure that a high waisted fitted button fly with thicker denim would feel pretty restrictive. Yuck. Even though they look fine, I totally understand not being able to handle the feeling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245590 Mon, 27 Dec 2021 14:57:03 +0000 JAileen 2245590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, even if the jeans were a fail. &nbsp;Your daughter’s things are very nice. &nbsp;Olympics seem like an especially bad idea now.</p> <div><br /></div><div>Our son and his GF are visiting for a couple weeks. &nbsp;Her brother’s fiancee just got Covid, a breakthrough. &nbsp;She is vaccinated but not boosted, unfortunately. &nbsp;We’re all boosted here, but with my feeble J&amp;J as my first vaccination, I don’t feel as protected as I might otherwise have. &nbsp;Apparently J&amp;J has “no neutralizing activity” with Omicron. &nbsp;:(</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245580 Mon, 27 Dec 2021 12:52:51 +0000 Staysfit 2245580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Button fly jeans are tricky…..with luck you can find something similar with a zipper since they look nice on you. &nbsp;<br /><div><br /></div><div>Our local Covid rates have been high, entire classrooms were on quarantine before the holiday break and a couple local districts were unable to transport students after bus drivers tested positive…. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245553 Mon, 27 Dec 2021 04:12:55 +0000 Aquamarine 2245553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans look fab…too bad.

This wave is just building steam around here despite a pretty high rate of vaccination with boosters. Anyway, I hear you about the jeans, although they look good. Makeup is perfect - you look beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245524 Mon, 27 Dec 2021 00:18:42 +0000 rachylou 2245524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like the Canada gear.</p> <p>I have to say even the surely skinny model looks a bit sausage-y…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245490 Sun, 26 Dec 2021 21:24:45 +0000 catherine 2245490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty blouse on you.

Oops . </p> <p>Irina - I used to insist everyone be dressed for holiday dinners but I’ve relaxed my demands in recent years ;). Family members dress , but not as much as I do . It makes me feel less like the catering service and clean-up crew if I change for dinner . And I don’t tuck a lot , but like to sometimes . Depends on how slim/ bloated I feel .My one pair of Levi’s has a button fly too but is nowhere near as thick as these . I think I can safely kiss the hi-rise look goodbye . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245485 Sun, 26 Dec 2021 19:53:17 +0000 CarolS 2245485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry the jeans didn't work, but your hair and makeup are VERY pretty.

And that will be a better decision than I made with the recent BR jeans when I cut the tags and wore them only to realize I hate them, sigh.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your makeup, hair, and blouse!&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I hear you on the Covid situation. It sucks. I was exposed (but am okay) and LJ was a close contact of a positive case. You cannot get rapid tests here for love or money, but luckily they are a student and went to UVic where (unaccountably!) they were given a box to take home with them and were able to test. They are negative. But we all had a scare a few days before Christmas.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jill looks cute in her new sweatshirt!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245475 Sun, 26 Dec 2021 19:19:41 +0000 Irina 2245475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You dressed up for dinner with family - I’m already impressed, even before I looked at the pictures! LOL<br />I wore a Uniqlo t-shirt and jeans for the Christmas dinner with DH, DS and DIL. And my Levi’s are all with buttons. I don’t mind since I don’t tuck in tops, ever. Too bad your don’t like yours, they look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245472 Sun, 26 Dec 2021 19:13:01 +0000 NancyW 2245472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair is terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245469 Sun, 26 Dec 2021 18:53:03 +0000 gryffin 2245469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa - didn’t even get past the first pic. You look gorgeous. Hair is amazing subtle glam!! Sucks about the jeans. Mid. Is usually high enough on me depending on the cut. You are brave and wise and jeans are tough!! Love the sweatshirt. It’s fantastic. Nothing for it but stay in our hidey holes till it passes over. But you look fantastic wherever you are!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245466 Sun, 26 Dec 2021 18:31:23 +0000 Helena 2245466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this ... you look terrific and great gift for DD!! Sorry the jeans didn't work out I hadn't thought of it, but you're right, it's weird that they did a button fly that is not visible, i e. not to be a design detail ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245464 Sun, 26 Dec 2021 18:18:30 +0000 slim cat 2245464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great as always - perfect dress up mode with flawless make up!&nbsp;Great earrings and metallic nail polish.<br />DD looks fab in red with matching toenail polish.<br />Happy Holidays! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-day-and-the-first-of-the-jeans-odyssey#post-2245463 Sun, 26 Dec 2021 18:14:21 +0000 kkards 2245463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer about the jeans as I really like how they look. &nbsp;But with jeans my general experience is that you have to kiss a lot of flies.&nbsp;<div>And if I was Canadian I’d have to have that sweatshirt.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>And I see a lot of frantic texts in our collective futures. &nbsp;Before Xmas I had one women who worked for me rushing to pick up her son from daycare as they needed to close as they had a teacher test positive.

All turned out ok , but geez ! )</p> <p> I wore a new lace blouse I had hope to wear for a NYE party that’s since been cancelled as Omicron literally rips through homes and businesses in Manitoba . I had taken home 2 pair of jeans from the Gap the other day and had had no time to even try them on until I dressed for dinner . One was these high rise cheeky straights which would have been fine had they not been button fronts . UGH ! With such a high waist I had already figured I should size up for comfort , but I didn’t notice the button fly until I tried them on . How can this possibly be remotely flattering with a tucked top ? Not only is the top button on my rib cage , creating a pouf of fabric below , but now there is at least 4 layers of heavy cotton denim plus metal buttons to add even more bulk . I lasted about an hour in them before deciding they were going back . I did like the length and the width of the leg though .<br /> Next . </p> <p>The one fun thing ? I got to wear some actual makeup for a change and went with second day hair . Lol. </p> <p>Also below is a pic of DD in her Christmas gift of a Team Canada / Lululemon sweatshirt and cross body bag . I’m not a big supporter of the Olympics and even less so that it’s in China this year , but the collection Lulu did for Team Canada is so stunning I couldn’t resist . She loves it, which is all that matters . </p> <p>Hope all that celebrate had a lovely Christmas Day </p>
