I go to the office twice a week, but as soon as I'm home I change into jeans. It's a practical issue for me - I live in Wales in the UK in a rural location, I have a large garden to look after and two border collies to walk. Some weeks I seem to be constantly out in the rain and mud - even today the 1st of May it's still cold and wet. Our summers are pretty dismal so I put jeans on first thing and then change into something lighter if it gets warm. I do have a pair of denim shorts and a denim skirt but they rarely get worn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/5#post-609208 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:07:31 +0000 rachylou 609208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once a week.

I do wear my black denim skinnies M-Th.<br /> I love colored denim, denim shirts, jeans of all shapes and colors, and denim jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/5#post-609126 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:29:37 +0000 Anonymous 609126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear denim less than once a week. I'm getting to the point where I'm sick and tired of it. I prefer softer fabrics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/5#post-609101 Tue, 01 May 2012 12:55:45 +0000 Tanya 609101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, is the next week, starting Monday 05/07, a denim-free week? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/5#post-609088 Tue, 01 May 2012 12:21:25 +0000 Meredith1953 609088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At least 6 out of 7 days a week. Still edging into dresses and I really only have a couple of pairs of non denim pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/5#post-609057 Tue, 01 May 2012 07:20:47 +0000 Anonymous 609057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Probably 6/7. Sometimes jeans, but just as often jackets, shirts, and skirts. It's practicality can't be beat and it allows me to wear dressier items in casual settings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/5#post-608766 Tue, 01 May 2012 01:01:13 +0000 DonnaF 608766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No denim for a week? I'd have to go nekkid most days! Or be dressed for work until I go to bed! Not dressed in denim today, but that's because I wanted to experiment with shoe inserts on shoes that go with light colored pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/5#post-608757 Tue, 01 May 2012 00:53:11 +0000 Aida 608757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another avid denim wearer here! I would consider it a cornerstone of my style. I wear denim between 5-7 times a week, skewing to the 7/7 end. Even in the summer; I prefer shorts to skirts and generally wear denim shorts! Being a pants gal, this is why I am trying to branch into more trousers, to skew my denim to the 5/7 end of the spectrum.</p> <p>I'm down for the no-denim week, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to feel a little too dressy if we can't use our denim jackets </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608755 Tue, 01 May 2012 00:51:06 +0000 Parsley 608755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm up for the challenge!<br /> For me, an even harder challenge would be no black for a week. I don't think I've ever been able to succeed at that!<br /> Or, even more impossible: no denim AND no black for a week. I might just have to stay home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608740 Tue, 01 May 2012 00:38:21 +0000 Angie 608740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great!

Even easier in winter...i wear it a lot less then. I think we should do it! </p> <p>But give us some advance warning so i get plan a bunch of denim outfits beforehand and get it out of my system.

I commute in denim though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608666 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 23:41:43 +0000 Kristine 608666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, daily, but only once I'm home from work and walking the dogs. Not to work at all. On weekends also a fair amount around the house but I often wear dresses or skirts to go out. So seven days a week but with some qualifications to that statement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608652 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 23:29:55 +0000 Angie 608652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I read through all the comments. Thanks, ladies! </p> <p>Hmm. To be fair we need a no-denim challenge now, and in Winter - including the weekend </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608359 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:07:52 +0000 Jamie 608359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No denim for a week? I could do it, as long as it is a work week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608294 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:22:55 +0000 Kate 608294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear denim daily, except in summer. Even then, I still wear denim shorts at least 3x a week.</p> <p>To answer Angie's question--Yes, as long as the challenge takes place in summer. Otherwise, I'd end up wearing yoga pants for a week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608277 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:59:12 +0000 MsMary 608277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No denim for a week would be a piece of cake for me, as long as it were a work week.

Before retirement much less. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608240 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 14:57:31 +0000 Carole 608240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear denim most days of the week most of the year. Summer would be a good time to try a no denim challenge, skirts, linen shorts, sun dresses make for a nice change of pace. But sadly summer is so very short here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608185 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:53:18 +0000 texstyle 608185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denim in Texas is like the state dress code or something. 5-6 days a week in fall, winter and probably 1-2 days a week in spring and summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608183 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:51:29 +0000 Desmo April 608183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not wearing denim for a week?</p> <p>I have enough dresses to do it easily but I really can't. I'm commuting by motorcycle today which requires jeans--I can't ride in a dress. I also need to ride on Friday for a women's motorcycle event. Another week I could do it but I wouldn't like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608177 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:47:07 +0000 Diana 608177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could do no denim for a week so long as it is not the very coldest weeks of winter. I would have to be able to wear skirts (with or without leggings or tights, depending on the season) in order to be able to pull it off. The only non-denim long pants I own are one pair of pinstripe dress trousers (usually only worn for interview-like situations, does not fit perfectly) and my BR Martins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608175 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:44:44 +0000 Anonymous 608175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New member here and this first post is very relevant to me! I wear jeans at least 4 times weekly during every season except summer, on the days I'm not at work. I tend to wear dresses or shorts during the summer because it's just too hot and humid here in NC. I don't own a denim jacket yet but would really like to get one. Will need instruction on what style to get! </p> <p>In answer to your question, yes I could go without wearing denim for a week but only in the summer. Denim just works for my very casual lifestyle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608156 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:17:59 +0000 velvetychocolate 608156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I had to go without denim for a whole week, I'd need to go shopping first. But the thing is - I need to do that anyway, since the really hot temperatures are coming soon to a theatre near me, and I'm not prepared for it. Even just contemplating a denim-free week (which I'll need once it gets too hot) has me realizing that a lot of the things I bought for last summer were bought in a big hurry when the temperatures soared, and I was so busy with travel that I just grabbed 'whatever'. I don't like those 'whatever' pieces. </p> <p>Hmm...very useful question/challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608139 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:05:41 +0000 Lisa 608139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I am on team denim and wear denim 7 days a week in spring, fall and winter. I will mix up the washes but it's rare I'm not in jeans. Even when I wear a dress, often I end up adding a denim blazer to the outfit. </p> <p>In the summer, I wear denim 3-4 days a week and switch off with Bermuda shorts in a trouser material or a summer dress. The heavy-ness of denim does not work for me on really hot days.</p> <p>Edit to add: No denim for a week? I'd have to sit on the bench. I could wear no denim for a few days but not an entire week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608135 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:04:10 +0000 HelenInCanada 608135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Other than the humid summer months, I wear denim a few times a week (perhaps 3 days) - jeans or a fitted denim jacket that looks like a blazer. Oh, and very occasionally I wear a stretchy dark wash denim skirt with tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608130 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 12:48:54 +0000 Laurinda 608130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No Denim for a week?</p> <p>In summer, easy.</p> <p>Other seasons, not without great effort. I don't wear dresses and have one fall non-denim skirt and one pair of corduroy pants.</p> <p>This is one of those great introspective questions. I had no idea exactly how denim-driven my wardrobe was nor the seasonal basis for that. I guess I can give myself permission to spend money on denim. Hmmm, or maybe I need more non-denim as a balance? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-denim-poll/page/4#post-608128 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 12:43:21 +0000 Anonymous 608128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could do it but it would be most difficult in the summer because nearly all my shorts are denim, as well as skirts, a dress and a vest. It would be hard to dress down an outfit without some denim. </p>
