Mostly it's a fit issue - regular lengths are&nbsp;almost always <i>slightly</i> too short, tall lengths are too long everywhere (rise and length), and even when the length is right, I almost always have to alter the waistband. For some reason, other pants aren't so much of a&nbsp;problem - it's just dress pants.</p> <p>I am loving my skirts right now - they're easy to fit, and very comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-not-reaching-for-these-days/page/3#post-1092595 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 01:19:08 +0000 Aida 1092595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Military inspired, been off that for 1.5 years now (though I do wear the great black blazer you gave me last year, probably because it feels more sgt pepper than anything). I have kept all my things with those details though, and am still wearing a few things that have subtle epaulets. I am also less enamored of oversized things, probably because I started on those a few years ago and am about at my saturation point with them. I'm ready to go back to more tailored cuts, or at least much more subtly oversized fits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-not-reaching-for-these-days/page/2#post-1092375 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 22:08:04 +0000 DonnaF 1092375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Earrings since my super thick hair now covers my ears.&nbsp; Black jeans and pants for the last year or two.&nbsp; Used to wear them all.the.time., but now they seem b-o-r-ing if I have any other choices like charcoal gray leopard, burgundy, or almost anything else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-not-reaching-for-these-days/page/2#post-1092363 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 21:57:32 +0000 Ariadne 1092363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I don't want to wear cardigans, but they work so well for my lifestyle that I end up in one almost every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-not-reaching-for-these-days/page/2#post-1092362 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 21:57:17 +0000 Ariadne 1092362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jewelry, and skirts and dresses (because my tights, weirdly, always seem to fall down, which never used to happen). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-not-reaching-for-these-days/page/2#post-1092295 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 20:52:05 +0000 Lisa 1092295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweatercoats.&nbsp; I usually adore them, but they are mostly sitting this year.&nbsp; And scarves.&nbsp; I typically sport them everyday, but most of my tops are printed right now and I don't feel I need to pile on a second print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-not-reaching-for-these-days/page/2#post-1092104 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 18:21:27 +0000 Anonymous 1092104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have lost interest in earrings and necklaces. &nbsp;I feel like my glasses make enough of a statement. &nbsp;I do like to wear one big bangle or a large watch. &nbsp;Sometimes I will wear a stack of my late mother's sterling silver bangles, which are sentimental and comforting. &nbsp;The sound they make&nbsp;reminds me of her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-not-reaching-for-these-days/page/2#post-1092037 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 17:40:09 +0000 Catnip 1092037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not currently wearing dresses, skirts, scarves (except outdoors as protection from the cold, most jewelry, blazers and tailored jackets (too hard to find ones that fit), shoes with more than a 1 1/2 inch heel, leggings (except for my Pilates class), brightly colored pants, faux leather or faux fur, nail polish...</p> <p>Hum, perhaps that's why I 'm having so much trouble dressing myself.&nbsp; Strangely, unlike many of you, I love cardigans but find them really hard to style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-not-reaching-for-these-days/page/2#post-1092024 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 17:28:42 +0000 Anonymous 1092024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>- anything I can't wear with a scarf, because I get very cold with my short hair (no necklaces, detailed necklines, etc, unless I know I'll be in a well-heated spot)<br />- most of my heels (just not feeling the effort anymore)<br />- any tight cardis/sweaters/long-sleeve tops. formfitting is good; too tight and it goes to my younger cousins </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-not-reaching-for-these-days/page/2#post-1091021 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 00:09:27 +0000 Janet 1091021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, right at this moment, anything that I would be worried to get dust, construction debris, or mud on.

I still wear them but not nearly as much as I once did. It may be that simplicity is more appealing.<br /> Leggings, although they will probably come out when the weather gets colder...like next week!<br /> Long "boyfriend" cardigans, although it is still a bit warm for them too. Maybe they no longer look current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-not-reaching-for-these-days/page/2#post-1090692 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:28:19 +0000 Parsley 1090692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cardigans.<br />I've been living in soft pullover sweaters or comfy&nbsp;blazers (nothing stiff or constricting.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-not-reaching-for-these-days/page/2#post-1090679 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:20:44 +0000 carambola 1090679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Form-fitting tops, cardigans, boot-cut and wide-leg trousers.
