Unless I am visiting my brother in the Adirondack mountains and cool weather is expected, my jeans rarely find their way out of closet. When summer nights are chilly I usually put on khakis.<br /> But I don’t consider myself a jeans addict at any point. I have a great selection of pants in my wardrobe.<br /> Enjoy the challenge all of you who are participating </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1936192 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 01:10:37 +0000 Bonnie 1936192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This challenge would be easy for me this month because I'm only wearing sweats and hiking pants on my camping trip. Otherwise, it would be impossible because I wear jeans or dresses most days of the year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1936183 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 00:48:51 +0000 schimiggy 1936183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm the opposite.

I'll do the challenge opposite of this. :)&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.schimiggy.com">http://www.schimiggy.com</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1887058 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 14:56:43 +0000 Lisa 1887058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun challenge!&nbsp; I am a jeans addict, in fact, it's so bad, the only non jeans I own at the moment are trousers from my suits.&nbsp; Something to fix when I shop for spring and summer this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1885253 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 02:07:43 +0000 Helena 1885253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice Staysfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1885247 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 01:03:40 +0000 Staysfit 1885247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could use some variety so a no jeans challenge sounds great! I pulled out a sweater dress, some booties, and a faux fur vest today. We are supposed to have 6-8 inches of snow tomorrow, so I’m thinking wool trousers may be a good choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1885246 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 01:01:17 +0000 LaPed 1885246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would absolutely be joining the challenge, but I just have no time for photos right now -- unexpectedly busy work schedule the past few weeks, and the next few as well. My 30-item capsule has only one pair of jeans, so January was a very jeans-lite month and I've been mostly rocking wool trousers and merino leggings instead. I find opting out of jeans pretty easy in the winter; they make my legs cold. :)</p> <p>I'm enjoying everyone's challenge pics and cheering you all on from the sidelines! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1885239 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 00:15:56 +0000 cindysmith 1885239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, is totally enjoy a challenge like this, but work requires pants I'm ok with trashing. I'll enjoy watching you guys, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884923 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 09:29:51 +0000 anne 1884923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the best with the challenge. Like Sal, I'm not wearing jeans much anyway at the moment in the Australian summer and if I do, it would be to work in the aircon, probably be white, and I would like to take the chance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884742 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 21:26:20 +0000 Helena 1884742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, Susan, I lived in Montreal for 2 years as a baby/toddler. So we have a double-connection </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884739 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 21:24:13 +0000 Helena 1884739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the kind comments; glad to have Janet and possibly Aurore joining in, and totally understand everyone's reason for NOT joining ... for some it's no challenge at all, for others, as Cardiffgirl said, they'd be bare if they didn't put their jeans on! For my part, if this was a no-skinnies challenge, I'd be in trouble - all my non-jean pants are either skinny or track pants ha!</p> <p>Susan, thanks for the comment on my photos; I am actually trying to improve my selfies for this forum since there is so much wisdom here that I can't tap into if my photos are no good! I'm still working on it, but so far I am using spaces with north-facing (neutral) light, and am using a napkin holder as a phone holder, and then setting it on the timer. I raised the napkin-holder on a shoebox and tilt the phone a bit forward so that it's a bit higher and not giving me double-chin.&nbsp; I've heard some people put their phone in a glass to create a similar holder. Anyways, not sure how helpful my McGyver tips are lol ... just play around would be my best suggestion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884608 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 15:45:45 +0000 Janet 1884608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in both of these! Love those white jeans on you, and the colors in #2 are really nice on you as well. </p> <p>Well, I already met this challenge two days in a row — if it counts that I am doing a version that is no BLUE jeans? Because they are my default. </p> <p>On Monday, I wore a pair of Hudson dark olive-forest green coated skinny jeans, which I hadn’t worn in a year. I bought them four or five years ago during a YLF gathering in SoCal, and they were a bit roomy at the time but not now. I wore them with a patterned top from Zara that I got a couple of years ago, moto boots, and a black cashmere hoodie. My husband really liked that outfit for some reason so I’m going to try putting those jeans in more regular rotation. I don’t know if coated jeans seem passé now, but the coating is rather subtle on them, so I don’t think they look too dated. I hope not at least.</p> <p>Yesterday, once I finally got dressed (spent most of the day in gear, after a nightmare of a night with almost no sleep and a visit to the vet ER, and then a long six-mile walk/run), I reached for black skinnies (also not frequently worn) with a long-sleeve black tee and a snake print cashmere hoodie (another closet orphan). Once again, hubs remarked that he liked that hoodie, so I supposed I should work that into the rotation more too! </p> <p>So it looks like I’m learning from wearing my neglected non-blue-denim items and other closet orphans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884590 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 14:33:19 +0000 Aurore 1884590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great challenge idea! I should definitely join you, as I tend to wear my jeans a lot more than my other trousers and dresses. I'll try my best next week. :)<br /> Your outfits are both very well thought out, I especially love the colors of #2 and the burgundy trousers of the one you posted in a separated thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884550 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 11:03:20 +0000 Mainelady 1884550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I won’t be joining your challenge, because I don’t often get to wear jeans at work and when I can, I do! Both of your outfits look great. I am always a fan of black and white. The colors in photo 2 look beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884548 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 10:52:01 +0000 Elizabeth Armbruster 1884548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you in spirit - no jeans has been my goal this month. I can wear jeans to work, but, especially in winter, I tend to let that slide to the too casual (to me, the workplace doesn't care). So trying to step it up a bit</p> <p>If I get organized, I'll post a few pics.&nbsp;</p> <p>Edited to add today's outfit - do you want pics here, or start a new thread? This is why I don't social media! :)</p> <p>Sometimes I'm really feeling the navy (sweater) and black (pant) and other times not. I ran out of time this morning while trying different shirt combos for under the sweater...&nbsp; now that i see it in its office habitat, this white tee will not make the cut again. Usually I wear a button down under it with the tails out, but didn't want the collar today.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884525 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 07:43:37 +0000 Style Fan 1884525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits look amazing TG.&nbsp; I will not be joining you in the challenge.&nbsp; I am in Florida and I have limited options for bottoms.&nbsp; Without wearing jeans I would be in my PJs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884520 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 06:55:05 +0000 Gigi 1884520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun challenge! I wish I could join in, but I wear jeans a LOT and have just recently decided to try to add more of other types of bottoms to my closet. As a result, I am still understocked in nonjeans bottoms. However, your challenge is a good impetus for me to keep up the search for the right bottoms! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884519 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 06:52:17 +0000 jussie 1884519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Torontogirl and Angie I love your outfits!

That would be too easy as I could wear a different pair each day of the week.

P.S. I’m a former TG myself, but originally from Montréal </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884383 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 19:58:45 +0000 Sara L. 1884383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just chiming in to say that I like both your outfits.&nbsp; #2 has given me inspiration to try my pink sweater with maroon cords.&nbsp; I only wear jeans about once a week so, like Katerina, I'd feel like a cheat if joined this challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884379 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 19:52:36 +0000 Suzanimal 1884379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit #1 is my "uniform".

Gorgeous with the scarf today. I will follow your lovely outfits, it is a joy to see, thanks for sharing!</p> <p></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884347 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 18:31:11 +0000 Christina F. 1884347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, this may be a good idea for me to try, too! I get sick to death of my jeans in winter. Yesterday I wore a skirt, and today leggings (light blue but NOT jeans), so I could actually participate for this work week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884339 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 18:01:17 +0000 Angie 1884339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I AM IN, and have been doing it most of the year. WOOOHOOOO. (Although I'm not a jeans addict, and will continue to wear WHITE jeans).&nbsp;</p> <p>You look casually beautiful and very polished,<b> Helena</b>. Pastels are soooo pretty on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jumping right in with today's outfit. Exact items shown in Finds: Ink and Orange.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-jeans-challenge---care-to-join-me#post-1884328 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 17:44:58 +0000 Helena 1884328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>After reading Angie's post today, I am inspired to have fun with fashion and challenge myself to not wear jeans at all this week. Jeans are my staple - specifically dark wash skinnies - and I often don't give a thought to this part of my outfit, so this will be good learning for me!</p> <p>Outfit 1 - Posted this yesterday, but including here as by good chance it fits the challenge - winter-white skinny cords.<br /> Outfit 2 - Today's outfit - was going to wear my usual skinnies but upon seeing the blog post, I swapped out for slim cropped black pants. I don't know why I don't wear these more often - they are as comfy as jeans. I tend to 'save' them ... not sure for what though I think they make this soft outfit a little sharper and more polished. </p> <p>If any fellow jeans-addicts care to join me in this little challenge (under whatever terms and timing you like), I'd love the company - in any case I'll share my outfits along the way </p>
