I think the number itself is somewhat arbitrary, but it's worth googling, as there's been a lot of ink spilled about this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908734 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 03:48:28 +0000 Jenni NZ 1908734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette: it's a movement. Google Livia Firth's name in connection with it. I don't wish to define her by her husband, however he is better known than her: Colin Firth the British actor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908728 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 02:56:52 +0000 Jaime 1908728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely worth replacing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908668 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 00:02:43 +0000 Cee 1908668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908638 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 22:55:16 +0000 Colette 1908638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit on you and I really like the EF blouse. I'm afraid to count wears, I fear only my sleepwear and under garments would reach 30 wears. Wondering how you came up with the 30 wears threshold? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908486 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 19:09:30 +0000 Angie 1908486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly.

It’s actually my newest blouse, bought in September. I wear it tucked in with jeans a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908433 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 17:02:28 +0000 CocoLion 1908433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed reading about your thought process re: the leggings. &nbsp;It's a great simple outfit so yes the bottoms should be replaced. &nbsp;Do you think the top will exceed 30 wears? &nbsp;It looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908378 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 14:45:05 +0000 Jenn 1908378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn,&nbsp;</b>I don't think a dart would work in this case. They're leggings with elastic panels on each side, so they'd just stretch to accommodate for any dart put in. Plus, they just don't really go up to my waist, so there's nothing to hold them in place.</p> <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>Angie!&nbsp;</b>There are plenty of other great outfits out there to be discovered.</p> <p>Thank you<b>,&nbsp;</b>prerma sharma.</p> <p><b><i></i></b>Thanks<b><i></i> krishnidoux!&nbsp;</b>The Talbots leggings look great. I don't think I'm looking for an exact, or even necessarily similar, replacement, but I always forget about Talbots, and their pants actually do fit me relatively well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908316 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:47:25 +0000 krishnidoux 1908316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with JAileen. But these are great colors and a great style for you.&nbsp; Hope you find something you like. I have similar plaid ponte leggings from Talbots that are comfortable to high-waisted me, if that can help in your quest if you seek to replace them.<br />(<a rel="nofollow" href="https://lookastic.com/women/red-and-navy-plaid-skinny-pants/shop/ponte-knit-legging-plaid-1252262">https://lookastic.com/women/re.....id-1252262</a>)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908311 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:26:18 +0000 prerma sharma 1908311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all your outfits- you have a wonderful style and your colour combos are perfect.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908234 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 05:02:19 +0000 Angie 1908234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Understand the reasons to pass on the items - but super cute look on you nonetheless.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908209 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 03:54:36 +0000 Brooklyn 1908209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always admired these pants on you. It’s not just the silhouette, it’s the pattern that makes them so interesting. Can you put a little dart in the waistband to stop the sliding? I sometimes do this myself and it’s an easy job. In this case, you probably wouldn’t want to spend money on the alterations but it might make them more wearable until you find a replacement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908139 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 00:52:16 +0000 Bonnie 1908139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have those same pants and I'm still wearing them, too. I love them and they fit me well and plan to keep them many more years. I'm no where near 30 wears, maybe 10, but they work with several tops. I like the way you have styled them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908087 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 23:48:33 +0000 Suz 1908087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in this and I really appreciated reading about your thoughts re keep vs. pass along.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908002 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 21:20:41 +0000 Jenn 1908002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, I’ve had some 30 wears fails this year, too. I just gave up a tee that developed multiple pinprick holes after only about 10 wears. Oddly, an identical tee in a different color is still going strong after double that. I don’t know how I could possibly have predicted that when I purchased. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1908000 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 21:16:50 +0000 Anonymous 1908000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look fabulous on you! &nbsp;I understand the need to upgrade (color fading and needing repairs), but I still really like the ensemble you pulled together. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1907995 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 21:10:53 +0000 Jenni NZ 1907995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you. I'm trying to hit the 30 before passing on. But the grey K-mart singlet was floppy after 17 wears ( only cost $16 though! ) and the disliked polyester pale pink top( due to fabric) was only worn to 10 wears out of stubbornness. Thank you pale pink top for being pretty but teaching me that I must be more careful with fabric and return more easily from online shopping.<br /> I'm also impressed with the number of wears on the new sandals already. You were right how versatile and useful they would be, clearly. I think my perforated ones which didn't fit would not have been so good. I have gone from sandals, to daily socks, in the space of a week.<br /> Love your plaid. And must keep some long over lean! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1907978 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 20:42:44 +0000 Jenn 1907978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Katerina and Cardiff Girl. </p> <p>JAileen, I usually don’t put up with any fussiness, but this is just enough that I seem to forget between wears. </p> <p>LP, I got the new boots just about a month ago, so they’ve been a good addition! And yup, your suggestion is exactly my plan. I’ll squeeze in one more wear this spring and then replace them with something else come fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1907950 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 20:16:04 +0000 LaPed 1907950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sliding-down leggings is one of my biggest clothing pet peeves. I've been slowly replacing my old ones with higher rises for a couple years. I'd probably get these to 30 wears and then pass them on. I hope you can find a perfect replacement. The plaid is definitely useful and fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>PS -- Those new boots are already at 13 wears?!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1907923 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 19:26:33 +0000 JAileen 1907923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m sorry the pants are annoyng, because they help make a great outfit. But annoying is inexcusable IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1907918 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 19:20:05 +0000 Cardiff girl 1907918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool pants,I do like a plaid pant myself and they are not always easy to find.The boots are great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1907904 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 19:06:57 +0000 Katerina 1907904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great! Fab outfit, you look beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-413#post-1907869 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 18:16:17 +0000 Jenn 1907869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(ETA: not urgent. Angie, you can move this to WIW if you’d like.)</p> <p>I’ve gone through too many moves and body changes for the oldest items in my wardrobe to be all that old, but I’m trying to wear items this week that have been in my closet since I started tracking wears in summer 2015. </p> <p>These plaid ponte leggings were one of the first things I bought after joining the forum.</p> <p>Why I’m about ready to pass on: They’re getting faded and I’ve already had to repair a seam in the thigh. Plus, the rise isn’t quite high enough for me, so they tend to roll/slide down my hips in an annoying way. </p> <p>Why I still have them: I’m down to just one or two options for the long over lean silhouette. Being Team Silhouette, I’d like to find a replacement before purging. Also, as of today, these have 29 logged wears. I’m committed to #30wears unless there’s a really compelling reason to pass on immediately. And finally, I like the pattern. I don’t have a ton of plaid in my wardrobe anymore and it doesn’t really mesh with my current style goals, but I still like it.</p> <p>Worn with:</p> <p>Eileen Fisher blouse (23 wears) - btw,just in case you were wondering, there’s no big stain or discoloration on this top. That’s just a trick of the light. </p> <p>Seychelles booties (13 wears) </p>
