I've never had a really entrenched poison eye turn into a favourite (over-the-knee boots, acid wash jeans, the colour magenta -- still no love for those), but there have been a few silhouettes that I wasn't fond of that became absolute staples. Skinny jeans is the best example I can think of. When they came back in style a decade ago, I had 80s flashbacks (in not a good way!) and it took me a long time to try them. But eventually, of course, they became indispensable to my wardrobe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-poison-eye-changed#post-1414837 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 15:49:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1414837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Previous poison eyes that are now favorites:</p> <p>- booties with a skirt/dress<br />- BF jeans<br />- semi tuck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-poison-eye-changed#post-1414780 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 13:45:57 +0000 gradfashionista 1414780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Capries and leggings under skirts.

I tried one and simply hated the way it looked on me. However, I have discovered regular scarves, in certain lengths and widths that are suited for my petite size, are great. So now I'm wearing scarves. I never thought I'd see the day!</p> <p>Same with ankle boots. I disliked them at first. Now I have several pairs and love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-poison-eye-changed#post-1414639 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 01:53:50 +0000 Anonymous 1414639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Booties.

I.e., you like it on others but on your own self .. just no? Or does poison eye mean you hate it on everyone?&nbsp;</p> <p>If the former, I have a lot in that category, that I later discovered I just didn't find the right item to work for me. Right now it's crew necks. 98% of them look horrible on me. But there is the rare crew neck that works just fine. I think because crew necks are so insanely on trend &amp; ubiqutous&nbsp;right now in the stores, there's subtle differences in the fit which I'm finding makes ALL the difference.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for infinity scarves, I adore the look on others, but&nbsp;generally steer clear for me,&nbsp;because of fit. 98% are too long wrapped loosely or too tight wrapped like they are supposed to look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-poison-eye-changed#post-1414621 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 01:36:32 +0000 Windchime 1414621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This goes to show that it's probably a good idea to occasionally retry our "poison eye" items, as fashion and individual tastes are in a constant state of flux. At some point, qfbrenda, something promoted you to retry infinity scarves, and it's good that you did! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-poison-eye-changed#post-1414615 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 01:28:26 +0000 K.M. 1414615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The strongest poison-eye change I've gone through was a while ago. As a kid and teenager in the 80s, I abhorred straight or flared legs. I thought I'd never be caught dead in anything other than tapered. <br />Then the early 90s came along, first with yoga pants and Levi's 501s, which all of a sudden felt so fresh and appealing. Then bootcuts and flares... <br />I suppose it's fitting that my most recent poison-eye (though not as intense and long-lasting) was skinny pants. When they first popped up I just didn't find them flattering on anyone other than extra-tall, extra-leggy, extra-thin people. I came around, perhaps because they are so everywhere, and I even wear them sometimes, but I don't really love them. </p> <p>PS. Love infinity scarves of all kinds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-poison-eye-changed#post-1414599 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 01:14:01 +0000 unfrumped 1414599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the infinity's practical side. I only have one, and have kept "true" to "real" scarves, but as you say, you can't beat them for staying put. I've also done the tie-corners of scarf together to make it into a faux-infinity. Interesting concept--are we the boss of our clothes or vice-versa? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-poison-eye-changed#post-1414585 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 01:04:59 +0000 qfbrenda 1414585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to really dislike the look of infinity scarves. I tried one and now I can't get enough! I love how they don't drag though what I'm doing as I'm doing my SAHM thing. They are so cozy and yet compact. </p> <p>Anyone else have something that used to make their poison eye twitch but now is a favorite? </p>
