Isn't that the worst when no matter how hard you try, there are those women who seem to just effortlessly breeze in and make you feel inadequate? I know a few in particular who somehow look more elegant in pajamas than I do on any given work day. Ah well, I guess that's why I'm here. :D</p> <p>I have never quit kicking myself for the time I ran into my ex at the supermarket in the middle of the night, all ratty and snotty and looking like absolute crud because I had just dragged myself out of bed to come buy more cold medicine. To this day, I can be on death's doorstep, and I still apply makeup to go out. So yeah, if I actually knew I'd be seeing an ex of mine, I'd be dressed to the nines, wearing&nbsp;a corset! Ha ha ha.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-you-wear-when-seeing-your-sos-ex#post-1101322 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 03:22:27 +0000 Marley 1101322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My SO's ex is one of my&nbsp;best friends, so no worries about what I'm worrying.&nbsp; But, like Suz - if I were ever to run into my own ex, I would certainly hope that I was having a good "outfit day!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-you-wear-when-seeing-your-sos-ex#post-1101316 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 03:15:16 +0000 minimalist 1101316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Florence, just bf's ex and her wife are here. No actual worries about how I look; they're both very casual and I enjoy their company. </p> <p>The colleague and his wife live in my neighborhood. Sometimes when I'm headed out for errands, I spruce up a bit in case I run into her. No history there, she just looks good all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-you-wear-when-seeing-your-sos-ex#post-1101311 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 03:00:53 +0000 FlorenceFearne 1101311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait, I'm having difficulty deciphering. So BF's ex, and the wife of BF's colleague are both coming over? Or BF's ex and HER current wife are coming over?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-you-wear-when-seeing-your-sos-ex#post-1101304 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 02:51:34 +0000 minimalist 1101304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leggings and long sleeve v-neck t-shirt, both black cotton. Good times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-you-wear-when-seeing-your-sos-ex#post-1101138 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 21:18:08 +0000 bj1111 1101138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my hubs' ex, no need to impress...i won.</p> <p>my ex, depends on the ex. &nbsp;</p> <p>ps...how you feel about having your so and so's ex having a relationship close enough to hang together watching a homeland marathon is probably a more important guide to how to dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-you-wear-when-seeing-your-sos-ex#post-1101134 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 21:12:28 +0000 Suz 1101134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see Mr. Suz's ex all the time and I never worry about what to wear. Half the time I'm in my PJs or gear when she stops by. </p> <p>Now, if I thought that I might run into <b>my</b> ex, that would be different. Then, like A, I'd want to be looking as good as possible!&nbsp;</p> <p>But I think I've just explained the difference. One of these people is in my daily life. Like it or lump it, she's the mother of Mr. Suz's older children and part of the family.</p> <p>The other person is someone I have not seen for 20 years. We did not have children and he did not want to stay in touch after we parted ways. So I'd be much more concerned with how I looked if I knew we were going to run into each other.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-you-wear-when-seeing-your-sos-ex#post-1101121 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:45:55 +0000 Anonymous 1101121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. I live 3 hrs from my ex and every time I visit (my folks are there) I glam it right up. </p> <p>Oncei was running to the grocery store for my parents and ran to put on makeup. When my dad rolled his eyes, my mother responded 'Angela is worried she'll run into John Smith'. And shewas right </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-you-wear-when-seeing-your-sos-ex#post-1101118 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:37:17 +0000 minimalist 1101118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you pay special attention to what you're wearing when you know you'll be seeing an ex of your significant other? </p> <p>Or have you run into them unexpectedly, and been happy you looked fab (or annoyed at the timing if you didn't)?</p> <p>Personally, I'm more concerned about running into bf's colleague's wife, because she always looks effortlessly fantastic. But bf's ex (from years ago) and her wife are coming over in a few hours for a Homeland marathon, and I find myself wondering how to put together a lounge outfit that's casual-company appropriate. </p>
