I have one pair of pants that are not PPL, and I cringe every time I wear them, but I still do wear them on occasion. They aren't way too short, just an inch or so shorter than they should be.</p> <p>I know there's others that I'm doing, but I'm making progress &#38; taking one outfit &#38; one purchase at a time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-do-you-choose#post-50677 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 22:13:36 +0000 Nicole 50677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm good question Anne. </p> <p>I don't think I could ever wear a denim jacket with denim pants...so I would go cold before committing that crime. </p> <p>I will fudge PPL sometimes. I try to keep it to no more than a 1/2 inch in either direction--and I bet most non YLF people don't notice.</p> <p>Today I was faced with this choice. Wear a white cami that is a little to high in the neck with my white Bratique shirt (the top of the cami showed) or skip the white cami. Granted, I was planning on wearing a grey jacket, but knew if I took the grey jacket off, I'd be wearing a white shirt w/out a white base layer. I chose to wear the cami and let a bit of it peek out the top. This just reminds me that I need to get a second white low neck cami and only wear it with this top. My other one was in the laundry.</p> <p>I have held off wearing things until I have the right piece to go with it, or until it was altered properly. But I've also rolled up jacket sleeves so I could wear something before the arms were shortened. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-do-you-choose#post-50659 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 21:23:17 +0000 Dani 50659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I break the PPL rule (sorry!) with a couple of pairs of jeans because they fit well everywhere else and at my height, I almost have to get premium jeans to get the correct inseam length. I've gotten a few Gap jeans to fill in but when those are dirty, out come the others (they're only 1/2 inch short, so nothing too terrible). I will gradually replace these as budget allows.</p> <p>I also wear not so fab items when I know it's going to be an extremely messy day (kids activities and such). I've found I have a harder time during the winter with YLF approved items than I do in the summer...not sure of the reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-do-you-choose#post-50613 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:01:31 +0000 Anonymous 50613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Becky too. It takes time to find and afford the things you need. In the meantime you do the best you can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-do-you-choose#post-50611 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 17:50:25 +0000 Louise 50611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes agree with becky. It takes time to build up the perfect YLF wardrobe and there are several things still in mine that i haven't thrown out yet cause i can't replace them yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-do-you-choose#post-50577 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 15:12:33 +0000 Becky 50577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. I'll have to think about this one. I suppose I have chosen to wear ill-fitting clothing because I need to wear something while I slowly build my YLF-approved wardrobe!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-do-you-choose#post-50508 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 02:31:31 +0000 anne 50508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There have been some occasions where I have had to choose which YLF "rule" I will not follow, Usually on holiday when I have not packed wisely!<br /> Here a few examples.<br /> * I chose to wear a dirty sweater over wearing a denim jacket with jeans (or I suppose, over wearing no top layer at all and being very cold)<br /> * I chose wearing shabby sandals overwearing better heels so as not to breach PPL<br /> * I have worn long camis with jeans and T-shirts with skirts because they were the best option I had for PTL and wanted something fitter<br /> Over to you! </p>
