FFBO's come in very handy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turns-out-i-do-have-a-ffbo-after-all#post-1436478 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 14:34:50 +0000 trekkiegirl 1436478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This morning I wanted to wear high waisted trousers with a silky button down tucked in. I have one pair of pants like these, but after I put them on I discovered they are too short to wear with heels, and because I'm a bit bloated today and carrying a few extra pounds, were fitting too snug. I had to change fast in order to not miss my bus and train. That's when, as I was reaching for familiar items to quickly and easily create a new outfit, I realized that I do have a fast fall back outfit, I just had never thought of it as such.</p> <p>The first thing I went for is a pair of light grey bootcut trousers. I have an exact duplicate in a smaller size, but the pair I'm wearing today fit perfectly within a range of about 10 lbs. Then I grabbed a cute and comfortable sweater. It's navy blue with colorful umbrellas embroidered on it, and has a definite vintage feel. Since I'm still in no-heels mode, I picked up my cognac Oxford detail flats and was out the door.</p> <p>At first I felt frustrated, frumpy, and dissatisfied with my outfit. But the more I thought about it, I realized that this outfit is comfortable, flattering, and stylish. What more could I ask for? It seems so simple now, but it's a huge revelation for me! </p>
