Sometimes you love something so much you over due it and then just get tired and bored or realize it doesn't love you back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-684039 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 12:47:45 +0000 shiny 684039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, I have that one (or very similar different brand) in white, turquoise and black (two in black).

LOL Glad to be of service. </p> <p>CL -- I don't think colored jeans are disapproved (Angie, correct me if I'm misinterpreting), I think they just aren't fitting Angie's current style. I see them everywhere, so the trend is still going strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-683952 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 04:55:13 +0000 CocoLion 683952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fitted tees. Although I wore one the other day, just to challenge myself, and to see how I felt about purging my huge collection of Three Dots classic tees. I already got rid of 60% of them.</p> <p>I don't think colored jeans are off my radar so quickly. I still plan to wear them this fall, although maybe not the bright colors of spring. I think this is such a fun trend, I am kind of sad that they don't get the YLF stamp of approval. (sniff sniff) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-683949 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 04:44:50 +0000 Echo 683949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirts. I have a terrible time finding tops to wear with them, and dresses are just so much easier. Leggings. I find myself wearing fewer tunics or longer tops and sweaters, so leggings just don't go with most of what I wear. I am hoping to find some ponte knit slim pants to bridge the gap between pants and leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-683941 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 04:31:45 +0000 MsMary 683941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, after saying I don't wear my cardigans any more, I just ordered the one April linked in that fab green. I've been looking for a cardi that color for AGES!! Thanks, April! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-683939 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 04:30:44 +0000 Mama Susie 683939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pants! Well slacks really. I still wear jeans sometimes but if I'm going to "dress up" (which I'm definitely working on and the reason why I'm here) I'm going to wear a dress nine times out of 10. They're easy to slip on and I can still chase my daughter in them (I don't wear them tight). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-683936 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 04:26:27 +0000 MsMary 683936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cardigans here, too! My first year or so on YLF, I wore a cardigan as a top layer several times a week and felt fab. This year I wore them far less frequently. I don't want to get rid of them, though, because I like having a nice selection for when I feel the urge.</p> <p>Same with scarves. I used to wear them almost every day and now I am wearing them much less frequently. I've also pretty much given up on necklaces. I have a short neck and I like to let it breathe! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-683934 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 04:26:02 +0000 April 683934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The "gateway dress." LOL, Beth. </p> <p>And Shiny, I think cardigans are still going strong. I plan to continue wearing them -- I've just gotten pickier about them. I want v-necks without pockets. If you live in a climate that gets cold, and you don't want to bulk up with chunky sweaters, cardigans are a great staple. (Have you seen this one: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-v-neck-elbow-sleeve-cardigan-petite/3244219?origin=keywordsearch&#038;fashionColor=Orange+Apricot&#038;resultback=500" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ca.....ltback=500</a> ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-683915 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 04:01:43 +0000 Beth 683915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pants, for sure. At one point, dress pants were my staple for work, but with my new-found love of dresses (that magic Nine West Dress was the gateway dress), my pants get very little love from me.</p> <p>Dresses are easier to fit, more comfortable to wear and just more fun:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-683902 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 03:25:50 +0000 shiny 683902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sad about all the people saying cardigans!!! Because while I do love jackets for structure/durability I rely on cardigans too -- not just for warmth but for shaping out a waist. </p> <p>Maybe this explains why I can't find any decent cardigans lately? People aren't buying them as much so manufacturers stopped making as many? </p> <p>P.s. please send your gently worn, v-neck, cropped, petite size xs or small cardigans (any season) to me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-683584 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:29:00 +0000 Anonymous 683584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My one and only maxi dress.

With a short neck and low, full bustline even with the best of bras, turtlenecks aren't the most flattering on me. I have dozens of scarves that will keep my neck just as warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-683446 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:49:05 +0000 christieanne 683446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black pants. I have a variety to choose from but after wearing nothing but black pants as work uniform for nearly three years, I just don't want to see them. I added the slouchy black pant (not intentional - it was a major deal at $20 for AK slouchy goodness) but have yet to wear them as a more casual pant suits my job functions better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-683402 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:13:50 +0000 Diana 683402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For summer, denim skirts. I got rid of all of mine. I want my skirts to be floatier and softer. If I want denim in summer, I'll wear my cropped jeans.</p> <p>Not sure what's going to go out the door for winter yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____/page/2#post-683399 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:10:35 +0000 April 683399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee hee -- Rachylou, I felt the same about knits once I'd been here awhile (definitely Angie's influence) but I have now come back around to them, as long as they are a decent fabric and a flattering cut. For me, they work well as a foundation to which I can add a vest, a jacket, a shrug, a cardigan, or a big necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____#post-683390 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:04:35 +0000 rachylou 683390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my suburbia wardrobe has been kicked to the curb. No place for khakis and polos anymore. Orange has been eliminated (contrary to Pantone decree).

I only have a few, and I wouldn't wear them in summer anyway, but they really don't work well with my style anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____#post-683350 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:36:44 +0000 April 683350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, lots of cardigans on the scrap heap...</p> <p>I still wear cardigans but have decided that every one with visible pockets in the front must go. It's cleaner that way; I hate the look of drooping patch pockets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____#post-683300 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:02:17 +0000 Jamie 683300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cardigans -- ack! I was on overload with these at one point, and I can't stand them on myself now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____#post-683299 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:00:45 +0000 shiny 683299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Earrings. I haven't worn them in several years now. Not even studs. First, I stopped wearing anything but studs. I would always wear studs because I was so used to having earrings, and i don't like the look of empty earlobe holes. But then (with influence from Angie, and laziness replacing studs that I had lost) I just stopped wearing studs too. </p> <p>I don't miss them at all. I have way more fun with necklaces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____#post-683294 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:56:41 +0000 Angie 683294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coloured denim. SO glad that I only bought one pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____#post-683285 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:49:18 +0000 Anonymous 683285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, I just answered this on Angie's blog post this morning. This summer I'm not wearing the T-shirt plus summer scarf uniform that I seemed to go to every day last summer. More woven shirts and nicer knit tops have made their way into my wardrobe and I hardly wear a T anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____#post-683282 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:48:38 +0000 christy 683282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cardigans. They used to be a mainstay for my more business casual days, but after I started documenting my outfits each day I discovered that I rarely felt fab on days that I wore a cardigan. I'm a petite apple and have a heck of a time finding cardis that fit well - if it fits well in the arms and sleeves, it's too tight in the middle, etc. So, I've fully embraced the jacket! I have demoted pretty much all of my cardigans to weekend wear when I don't mind being super casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-find-myself-no-longer-wearing-_____#post-683279 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:45:48 +0000 Aziraphale 683279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flared jeans. I no longer have the shoes that work with them (small platforms) to give that cool 70s vibe, and anyway the silhouette feels to extreme for this decade. I used to wear them occasionally even a couple of years ago, well after they officially fell from fashion, and I would just work the 70s thing.</p> <p> I still wear bootcuts sometimes, though. Those are too flattering and classic to give up. </p>
