I'll keep an eye out!!</p> <p>oh Suz, thank you!! i'm enjoying your writer's conference looks - that's really smart to get it all worked out in advance, and you're coming up with some really great looks. Hitting a nice balance of cool and professional!!</p> <p>you know, i love that jacket and wear it all the time. i got it at a thrift store for $5! the label reads "YMI lets UBU". 'lets' is in a heart. i have no idea about the brand - ? </p> <p>i'll definitely report back on my findings!</p> <p>Have a great sunday! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-leggings-advice-non-stick-warm-fiber#post-424691 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 02:21:49 +0000 Suz 424691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh! I love this outfit, Steph! It's fantastic. </p> <p>What kind is your jean jacket? I am on a hunt for one, still...</p> <p>Re leggings that won't stick, I understand this desire completely. It's one reason I won't wear denim skirts in winter, even though I LOVE them! But it occurs to me now, another option (maybe) would be a slip under the skirt. </p> <p>Please post more of your great style, and please let us know which leggings option you go with and what works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-leggings-advice-non-stick-warm-fiber#post-424688 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 02:16:39 +0000 Anonymous 424688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit you posted, too! Hope the long johns work. </p> <p>I used to wear LLBean's silk long johns under my jeans. Come to think of it, I'd wear them under a long denim skirt with tall flat boots. They weren't meant to show, but I was confident that they would look enough like tights if they did. They were black, slippery and very comfortable. They are quite a bit more expensive than the Secret Treasures, but maybe you could find knit silk at the fabric store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-leggings-advice-non-stick-warm-fiber#post-424515 Sat, 17 Sep 2011 20:22:18 +0000 Angie 424515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle* - nothing a cool lass like you can't handle. </p> <p>As amazing as our NYC trip was, it's killer to be back home with our little Rosie (the most spoiled puppy in the world). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-leggings-advice-non-stick-warm-fiber#post-424474 Sat, 17 Sep 2011 19:13:04 +0000 mrseccentric 424474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>aw, thank you Angie !!! those heat tech leggings DO sound very interesting, and i'd like to try them.....but i wonder if they will cause spontaneous combustion during a hot flash!!!</p> <p>you are very charming...&amp; i need to get back in the outfit-posting swing of things! okay then, i'll take your comment as an order from the Queen of All Things Style! happy saturday, hope you are enjoying a less hectic pace back home steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-leggings-advice-non-stick-warm-fiber#post-424465 Sat, 17 Sep 2011 19:05:20 +0000 Angie 424465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in that outfit, Steph! I was going to suggest heat tech leggings from Uniglo - but Vildy has you sorted. </p> <p>I would love to see more of your great style </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-leggings-advice-non-stick-warm-fiber#post-424459 Sat, 17 Sep 2011 19:01:20 +0000 mrseccentric 424459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tip Vildy! $6 is much cheaper than sewing from scratch, and i could alter for fit, length with little trouble. </p> <p>"They do exfoliate the dead skin on your legs." hahahah!!! i have dry skin to begin with, i'm quite familiar with this effect. The joys of winter!! : ) thank you Vildy!!!! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-leggings-advice-non-stick-warm-fiber#post-424416 Sat, 17 Sep 2011 18:04:59 +0000 Vildy 424416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll tell you what I have. Secret Treasures lightweight thermal underwear, $6 apiece from Walmart. Not bona fide leggings, of course, but I wear them that way when I feel like it. The fabric is half cotton and half micronatique tm polyester. They're silky. I live on the East coast and they're surprisingly warm for something so thin. They don't seem to stick to anything I wear.<br /> They do exfoliate the dead skin on your legs. These came in black, white, pale pink. Long bottoms, long sleeve vee neck tops, deeper vee neck sleeveless shell. I wear some combo of these day and night throughout the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-leggings-advice-non-stick-warm-fiber#post-424391 Sat, 17 Sep 2011 17:07:23 +0000 mrseccentric 424391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fall seems to be making up it's mind to settle in here in the SF Bay Area. I'm looking for advice on leggings/leggings fabric/fibers that are warm, slick and won't stick to cotton skirts worn without a slip. I sew, so i am more interested in the type of fiber content that you find works well as opposed to particular brands, fit, etc.</p> <p>I love the way polypropylene works as a base layer, but i can't find it in yardage. I'm thinking i could throw on some leggings under this type of typical outfit and get warm without a lot of weird bulk or layers. </p> <p>Thanking you in advance!!! Happy Saturday! steph </p>
