I love your husband's attitude.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665366 Sun, 22 May 2016 18:43:13 +0000 Anonymous 1665366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear about your relative. I can imaging the EF harems being perfect wear for your situation--like a comforting cocoon. </p> <p>I love your new tech, and an Apple Watch is totally on my wish list. I like the idea of talking into my wrist like a special agent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665350 Sun, 22 May 2016 18:00:16 +0000 Angie 1665350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go Mr. &amp; Mrs. Sarah. Sending your family member healing thoughts.&nbsp;</p> <p>No mid-life crises on my screen. I see someone having fun with fashion and amping up her tech game. ROCK ON.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665287 Sun, 22 May 2016 14:39:17 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1665287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL @Chris! Thank you all for the encouragement - style wise and sympathy. It has been a brutal night... His heart stopped once, but briefly and he has been more stable. (This is my husband's uncle). I was up all night and finally got a couple hours sleep. I am now in day 2 in the harem pants, after sleeping in them. I asked for a change of top, but keeping the pants on for day 2. :-)</p> <p>About the watch - it is the larger face. I really liked it better. As far as streamlining, my job requires that I am instantly reachable and often carries over into after hours. I finally got permission to let go of my work phone so I now have one iPhone and an apple watch. I can have hands free and still be reachable via text, email or phone days, nights, and weekends. And it's been a godsend in the hospital! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665286 Sun, 22 May 2016 14:37:03 +0000 rachylou 1665286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or Rafael the cabana boy. The advantage of Rafael is you can keep him outside and you get a stripey tent in the backyard! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665284 Sun, 22 May 2016 14:34:25 +0000 Anonymous 1665284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's true, it's not a real crisis until Paolo (or Ramon) shows up.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; <br />I'm glad you're focusing on fashion and the man already in your life, it sounds pretty darn great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665273 Sun, 22 May 2016 13:54:25 +0000 Chris987 1665273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best wishes to your family member....</p> <p></p> <p>..and&nbsp;I know Sarah started this posting...but I have to circle back to RachyLou's little vignette about the pianist Paulo...is that&nbsp;the&nbsp;midlife crisis RachyLou that you are hoping for? :-)&nbsp; Harem pants won't cut it for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665255 Sun, 22 May 2016 13:07:21 +0000 kkards 1665255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so sorry to hear about the accident…sending good wishes, positive vibes and prayers for you and your family.</p> <p>and if an apple watch is part of a midlife crisis…bring it on </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665252 Sun, 22 May 2016 13:01:35 +0000 catgirl 1665252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If EF harems as a midlife crisis is wrong, I don't want to be right! I can imagine these being perfect for staying at a hospital. Sorry to hear about the accident. </p> <p>I fear aging has made me less timid, not more so - and I see that reflected here on the forum. Or maybe it's because of the forum. In any case, enjoy the stretching of your style wings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665219 Sun, 22 May 2016 11:57:05 +0000 dakotacheryl 1665219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow...a motorcycle accident can be so much more serious than an auto one...your family is in my prayers.</p> <p>Love the watch choices. I'm hemming and hawing over adding one to my collection, but I love my watches and would hate to sideline them. Is your watch the large one or the smaller one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665204 Sun, 22 May 2016 11:13:51 +0000 Anonymous 1665204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firstly, I want to send healing vibes to your family member.

Your Apple Watch looks great--I got one for Christmas and love mine too. I have to confess I ordered the harem pants, but I put them on and immediately put them back in the box and returned them. I knew my hubby would not be as understanding as yours and I would never hear the end of the poopy diaper jokes! LOL! Can't wait to see you style them, I think you have the style and attitude to pull them off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665162 Sun, 22 May 2016 07:33:53 +0000 CocoLion 1665162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am curious how the Apple watch is streamlining your life? &nbsp;Aside from the productivity benefit of knowing what time is (plus the temperature), it looks great!</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing how you style the EF harems, I think they suit you very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665143 Sun, 22 May 2016 06:35:25 +0000 Barbara Diane 1665143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, thoughts are with you and your family member right now. Sending healing-please let him know lots of people are thinking of him.<br />Second, your husband gets &nbsp;major brownie points. Third, I love the spice you are adding to your look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665140 Sun, 22 May 2016 06:29:28 +0000 rachylou 1665140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your fam is in my thoughts, Sarah!</p> <p>The watch and pants are cool. But I think for a midlife crisis, you need to move an aspiring concert pianist named Paolo into your house, one who won't play when his nerves are upset (which is all the time), and eats all the food up... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665137 Sun, 22 May 2016 06:18:00 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1665137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! Turns out to be a good thing I wore the comfy harem pants as I am the one doing the over-night ICU shift... It has been a pretty rough night so far (before everyone left). I am just praying that he stays stable... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665115 Sun, 22 May 2016 04:37:41 +0000 Ledonna N. 1665115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I love your hubby also. Sounds like a keeper. Harem pants are a 4 ever type of thing. I cannot wait until you take pictures. The watch looks totally different with the bands.</p> <p>Keep your fam in prayer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665102 Sun, 22 May 2016 03:46:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1665102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your guy is a keeper, for sure, Sarah. I'm glad you are enjoying your harem pants, haircut, and new watch! If this were a crisis, it would seem a fairly mild one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665101 Sun, 22 May 2016 03:23:28 +0000 Peri 1665101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I wish Mr Peri would learn that!

Sounds as if Mr. Sarah is about as perfect a spouse as one could ask for. Love the new watch and glad you are enjoying the harems! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665074 Sun, 22 May 2016 02:13:43 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1665074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the butterfly screen choice on the watch, myself. And I have the harem pants. My husband is the one with the midlife crisis ghibli sports car so he can't say too much about anything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-mid-life-crisis-or-not#post-1665068 Sun, 22 May 2016 02:10:06 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1665068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So you know about my recent hair cut... Well then I ended up ordering the famous EF harem pants. And I got an apple watch. I'm working on getting contacts because my readers aren't cutting it. I have started trying to diffuse the puzzled/amused/stunned reactions from friends and family by saying that I'm having a mid life crisis. It allows them to laugh at/with me and makes me feel a little less conspicuous. When I put on the harem pants for the first time, my husband had a surprisingly good reaction. When I thanked him for humoring my mid life crisis, he said "it's not a mid life crisis, it's just one more step in your evolution." Have I mentioned that I love that man?</p> <p>I don't have photos of the harem pants yet. I have discovered that they are awesome and comfy for visiting in the hospital (a family member is in the ICU - motorcycle accident). I'll get some good pics when things settle down. But I did get some shots of my new watch. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I have two bands and am so excited that I can change the screen. It's like having totally different watches. And it is streamlining my life! </p>
