I can barely wait for the next instalment. Though, like Jackie, I was straining my eyes to see that pink stripe and figured maybe you were trying to trick us (like with the Emperor's clothes)...&nbsp;or then again, maybe it is the Seatlle light playing tricks with the camera...</p> <p>No matter. This is a great outfit on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepin-it-real-part-deux#post-1391953 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 23:55:48 +0000 Elly 1391953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enjoying the menswear vibe-- the sweater and slacks look great on you. Usually my problem is forgetting that "X" is in the wash! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepin-it-real-part-deux#post-1391936 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 23:27:44 +0000 Meredith 1391936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a fun post. I still remember what I bought on my first trip to H&amp;M. It was a shopping diversion during a college trip to see the Royal Shakespeare Company. Thankfully I also still remember the performance as I no longer fit into the clothes. Love your outfit and looking forward to your post tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepin-it-real-part-deux#post-1391901 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 22:28:50 +0000 Jenava 1391901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha...</p> <p>Actually those booties are somehow really perfect with the pants...just the right height.&nbsp; I usually don't care for round toes with trousers, but these aren't so, so long that it actually doesn't seem to swallow your feet...and the half-tuck works really well with this sweater!&nbsp; Simple, but well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepin-it-real-part-deux#post-1391885 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 22:03:13 +0000 kellygirl 1391885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the masculine vibe of this. You look stellar in your tundra crossing boots! Gorgeous silhouette. Love these fluid fits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepin-it-real-part-deux#post-1391874 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 21:55:13 +0000 jackiec 1391874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny! I'm glad you're excited about the pink stripe because I'm straining my eyes to see it and just can't! I love this outfit on you! Too funny about walking across the tundra. I remember when H&amp;M was like that. My sister and I went to the first one in San Fran, and she'd just been to the "mother store" or something like that over in Europe. She dragged me in &amp; it was SO exciting. It must have been around that time too. I digress, but look forward to romantic Friday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepin-it-real-part-deux#post-1391863 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 21:31:52 +0000 abc 1391863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I am really enjoying reading your posts lately. Your writing really hooks me in. Waiting for tomorrow's post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepin-it-real-part-deux#post-1391862 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 21:29:52 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1391862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>… continued from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keepin-it-real-w-lugsoles">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....w-lugsoles</a></p> <p>You know how you walk into your closet and you gravitate to<br /> an item of clothing that’s really inappropriate for the day ahead? Well, even<br /> though it’s been raining cats and dogs on and off, I <u>really</u> wanted to<br /> wear my glen plaid wide leg H&amp;M trousers on Wednesday. These babies are hemmed&nbsp;for heels so they touch the ground (if not drag) even with some height in&nbsp;footwear. Thank goodness they’re 100% manmade materials <span>,<br /> as they are indestructible. I seriously think I could go dirt biking with Aida<br /> and then just brush them off for dinner. &nbsp;I brought two pair back from a business trip&nbsp;to the East Coast, with a side order of shopping in Manhattan (as one does).&nbsp;This was in the olden days when H&amp;M’s were not sprinkled willy-nilly&nbsp;throughout the US like Starbucks (circa 2004) and like they are now.&nbsp; And I know from Starbucks, as I’ve lived in&nbsp;Seattle during their rise to world domination. Anyway, I pulled out the pair&nbsp;with a light pink stripe running through them, which you won’t be able to see&nbsp;except in close up, but I know is there. Wheee! I feel so giddy with pink&nbsp;on!&nbsp; I threw on my new slouchy ink mixed&nbsp;media sweater from BR and cogitated on how to keep the hems dry on the commute.&nbsp;Enter the very cool (Una has them, so yeah…) waterproof leather Joan of Arctic&nbsp;wedge booties with lug soles. I seriously could walk for days across the tundra&nbsp;with these strapped on, oh and also with snowshoes probably. They have a round&nbsp;toe, so in my childish glee, I had a giggle pretending to not have any feet&nbsp;underneath the pants legs. The trousers reminded me of that trip, shopping with&nbsp;my then colleague Therese, of optimistic days chock full of business travel as&nbsp;we headed into the FDA approval process for our prostate cancer treatment; first<br /> to market in class…some heady times.</span></p> <p>Tomorrow’s post has a romance twist, so either avoid or not,<br /> depending on your mood. Cheers and happy fabbing. </p>
