I used to buy my 27x32 501s and sit in a hot bath in them. It was supposed to help them fit like a glove. And you had to work for fade, baby. A perfect fade meant lots of sleeping in them in the back of a VW bus @ rincon to make an early morning break, lots of motorcycle or horse rides, zillions of wears and washes watching the blue lighten and fade like a 4am morning sky... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture/page/2#post-1360026 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 17:30:23 +0000 rachylou 1360026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I got to tell you.

Now, <b>IK</b>, I have an image of you in a peplum supported by tulle. I vote for the cowboy boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture/page/2#post-1359416 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 13:42:08 +0000 ironkurtin 1359416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think Mani and Rachylou are south on this one. (Although it is nice to see Mani again!). I don't have dainty female curves nor will I ever, nor will I ever be wearing a peplum. Have you ever seen a peplum on the hipless? Might as well put a frill on a brick. </p> <p>I might add some small pearls, or one of my rhinestone belts. Or take the look harder and add some cowboy boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture/page/2#post-1359396 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 13:01:17 +0000 Claudia 1359396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Appealed to&nbsp;Marlien Rentmeester over at LE CATCH, too.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.lecatch.com/2014/09/back-to-basics-fashion-trend.html">http://www.lecatch.com/2014/09.....trend.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1359387 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 12:26:33 +0000 Jules 1359387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm interesting. I see what rachylou and ManidipaM mean. But I see why you reacted the way you did to the peplum idea, because I don't see that brand of femme as part of your look.<br /> Would this work with t-strap, pointy-toed flats? Those have some of the same dainty feminine lines. Would you wear those? What about a looser cut of jeans than your usual? Not sure about the proportions with ankle jeans though. Can't wait to see what you come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1359318 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 05:17:17 +0000 rachylou 1359318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Manidipa said it perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1359295 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 04:10:01 +0000 ManidipaM 1359295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I get what Rachy means. along with very simple chic shapes and colour blocks there is an appeal to dainty feminine curves. the feel would be quite different without those shoes and then if you really wanted the whole look you would need to add the dainty/frivolous back somewhere else. i might use a small ruffle at the wrist instead or wavy hair while rachy thought of a peplum. it's a way to do the dainty in what is otherwise an androgynous look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1359285 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 03:53:15 +0000 Debbie 1359285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please post what you come up with.

I need to upgrade my black sweaters.&nbsp; You've probably already got that covered! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1359095 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 20:30:20 +0000 ironkurtin 1359095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The spirit of the look.</p> <p>RachyLou, you baffle me.&nbsp; Where did you get the idea of a peplum?&nbsp; There isn't one in the picture, nor have I ever or would I ever wear one in real life.&nbsp; It's like you're suggesting wearing a polecat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1359087 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 20:21:48 +0000 rachylou 1359087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it the spirit of the look or the ease of the outfits that most appeal? I think a peplum would give you the spirit, but to get the same ease all you have to do is get the same items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1359045 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 19:28:13 +0000 ironkurtin 1359045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think she picked it up from whowhatwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1359040 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 19:21:19 +0000 Flytigress 1359040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a lot of Girlsofacertainage&nbsp;readers here. </p> <p></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.girlofacertainage.com/2014/09/15/in-which-fashion-week-throws-us-a-happy-curveball/">http://www.girlofacertainage.c.....curveball/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1359031 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 19:12:36 +0000 Golden 1359031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it, I think I haved this pinned too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1359029 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 19:07:19 +0000 Angie_T 1359029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you could rock this look.&nbsp; And I bet you will.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1359027 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 19:04:00 +0000 ironkurtin 1359027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, Jenava, I think I will be unable to duplicate this *exactly.*&nbsp; But the combination of simple pieces in colorblocks is very fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1359017 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 18:51:24 +0000 Jenava 1359017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the skin at the ankle is key...second the slingback booties.&nbsp; The contrast with the black and light denim, also key. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-inspiration-picture#post-1358979 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 17:56:34 +0000 Anonymous 1358979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bet those sweaters are cashmere too.
