Thanks for all the replies and compliments</p> <p>Beth Ann - I didn't know ruffles were coming back. Maybe I should hold off on culling all mine. I'm glad I have a slouchy skinnies vibe. I don't think they were bought with that in mind 8 months ago &nbsp;but I did size up for comfort and was wondering myself if they were slouchy enough for that look</p> <p>Sara L - probably doesn't show in pics, but I changed into high heel sandals for work, as shown in pic 3.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jeanie - I do have a newer cardigan, I just couldn't find it in the morning rush in a dark bedroom! But you are right, a lighter colour than black would be handy I was thinking of getting a&nbsp;&nbsp;hot pink one, though that wouldn't work with this outfit. I am not actually sure what colour would work with these jeans</p> <p>Celia - the jeans aren't new - it was the top in the other thread that I bought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194641 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:25:07 +0000 celia 1194641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So those are the jeans you broke SYC with ;)<br />They look fabulous as they are styled, no frumpiness at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194626 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:10:46 +0000 Jeanie 1194626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit.&nbsp;I like #3 the best. &nbsp;I usually let ruffles stand on their own. &nbsp;Meaning I think of them as jewelry so I don't add jewelry when wearing them. &nbsp;Your bone structure is beautiful.&nbsp; Maybe it's time for a new cardi. &nbsp;Maybe something lighter to match your sandals would be nice? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194553 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:05:08 +0000 Ingunn 1194553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where's the frump? I see none. your outfit is simple, but classic and the fit is excellent, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194548 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 13:59:37 +0000 Sara L. 1194548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great with the colored jeans and white top. &nbsp;I would add a shoe with a slight heel to finish of the look and maybe prevent some of the frumpy feeling. &nbsp;I feel frumpier in flats than even a shoe with a small heel. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194530 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 13:48:15 +0000 Beth Ann 1194530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just commented on your other thread.&nbsp; I wanted to say that I love your jeans -- the color and the slouchy skinny fit.&nbsp; Yes to belting!</p> <p>I'm not a big fan of the cardi on top of it all, although I appreciate the issues of temp control in a/c, but I don't seem frump at all -- I like both pair of shoes, too.</p> <p>BTW:&nbsp; I'm off ruffles now, but I'm seeing high fashion articles indicating that they're on their way back.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194348 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:53:31 +0000 anne 1194348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ornella. I think I may be bidding farewell to ruffles too. And I have an asymetical top (tunic length at its longest) which i am enjoying. &nbsp;I liked rabbits top too. I did feel that I at least needed a collar (as hers has) which I included in my new top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194341 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:42:24 +0000 Ornella 1194341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you might try more streamlined and less ruffly tops with&nbsp;less neck/neckline action.&nbsp;Maybe even something along the lines of asymmetrical tunics. Something that has a&nbsp;sort of defined and &nbsp;even&nbsp;unusual form, not so much&nbsp;structure, but which is not too busy.</p> <p>ETA: Check <i><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gray-black-uniform-and-scarf-i-finally-finished-hemming">this top</a></i> rabbit had posted. I'd love to see you in something like that.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194339 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:40:22 +0000 rute 1194339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I soo nothing frumpy also! The blouse adds interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194332 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:30:24 +0000 ramya 1194332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne you look great!!!<br />But I hear you, I think this top doesn't need chain and you need mid width belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194331 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:29:03 +0000 anne 1194331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I probably could!</p> <p></p> <p>I don't mean that I don't like my long torso - I do - just worried it makes my legs look even&nbsp;shorter</p> <p>I did end up going shopping today btw! Pay came in just before lunch! </p> <p>Here's what I got</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-broke-syc#position-2">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....position-2</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194329 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:27:11 +0000 Deborah 1194329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you long torso is attractive. I have seen Elle McPhereson wearing jeans outfits that have a long torso look and it's cool. Could you just do a semi tuck with the belt but do Angie's faux tuck and tuck the front of the top behind the belt buckle? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194246 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 04:12:21 +0000 anne 1194246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deb for the jeans compliment. Okay I have taken the necklace off. </p> <p>I did actually consider wearing a long necklace (one of those ones with a bunch of things at the bottom.) but adding a long necklace over a ruffle seemed to be like overkill.</p> <p>I think I know what you mean about accessorized, though it is something I struggle with! &nbsp;If I wore a belt I would have to tuck to some extent and these jeans are pretty loose around the waist. Or do you mean wearing the hip test over the top? &nbsp;I should try this out again - I have tended to shy away from it as I felt it added attention to my already long torso. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194238 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 03:57:59 +0000 Deborah 1194238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne you so good in those jeans. I see no frump but I think I hear you on this. How a about a med width belt low on hip, something with the same tone of the shoes? I think the outfit just needs to be 'accessorized' if you know what I mean. Remove the necklace (it's gorgeous but maybe not ideal here). I would add a long silver pendant. Keep it simple. It's a great foundation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194164 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 02:30:07 +0000 anne 1194164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aubergine and Gigi. Rachy - Sandals are fine any day, though today today being Caual Fri makes it even more fine. I find Casual Fri more difficult than Mon-Thur dressing!</p> <p>You know I almost forget about the earrings because I never take them off. I just wear them all the time! I agree that the necklace is a bit off somehow, but I felt something was necessary to fill in the expanse of bare bony chest!</p> <p>I am feeling a strong urge to go out in my lunch break and see if can find a floaty sleeveless tank or shirt! I have no clothing money left and $4.02 in my "personal spending money" but pay day is coming in a day or two! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194153 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 02:17:59 +0000 Gigi 1194153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally think you look great! I love how you look in that top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194148 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 02:11:22 +0000 rachylou 1194148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top and jeans are good. The necklace <i>and </i>earrings seem a little fancy to me for them, tho. I'd take one item of jewelry off. You can wear sandals at work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194146 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 02:09:37 +0000 Anonymous 1194146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see no frumpiness here at all! The jeans look like they fit really well, and the cream is so nice with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-wear-jeans-again-seasonal-confusion#post-1194130 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 01:48:04 +0000 anne 1194130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Help me troubleshoot my Wiw.<br /> Pic one is with my old cardi so really bad<br /> Pic 2 wiw for the commute<br /> Pic 3 with the sandals I changed into at work.<br /> I am feeling frumpy again </p>
