I love the red overdye (and love the original pair too, but the red is extra special, and yes, wild!). Wild is a perfect 2024 word for you: What could be more fun than taking fashion risks and dressing to please yourself? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild/page/2#post-2351572 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 23:30:17 +0000 Zaeobi 2351572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely an improvement! All hail the YLF Queen of Overdyeing </p> <p>Yes, I know what you mean about the patina - I've been tempted to try slightly ripped or frayed jeans in the past, but have never quite found the right combination of it with a more golden yellowish undertone to the denim, plus brownish sandblasting. Taking matters into your own hands (instead of letting them clothes boss you around) seems like the perfect demonstration of 'Wild' for 2024! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild/page/2#post-2351436 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 22:08:40 +0000 Brooklyn 2351436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks RobinF. Dyeing is a great way to repurpose/revitalise an item, especially if you are not wearing it. </p> <p>Thanks OG. I am thinking of overdyeing some cargo pants for Winter too. It does make them more unique.</p> <p>Thanks Janet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild/page/2#post-2351412 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 15:51:43 +0000 RobinF 2351412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these in both colors! So fun and interesting. I also love your dyeing examples! Makes me want to take a look at my wardrobe with new eyes.</p> <p>Wild is a great word for inspiration!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild/page/2#post-2351397 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 13:40:40 +0000 Olive Green 2351397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too like the red jeans even more. The Esprit posts reminded me of my over dyed solid red, pink, and purple overalls, three items that were a uniform when I was early twenties. Really nice rich colour on the jeans. Still waiting for a moment to get some dye for the new pink capsule, will use your formula of the last dye post.&nbsp;<br />Thanks for the sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild/page/2#post-2351392 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 12:57:19 +0000 Janet 2351392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! I love your creative approach and the way you make an item your own. The jeans look even better with the red! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild/page/2#post-2351386 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 11:44:41 +0000 Brooklyn 2351386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Dee, Sisi and Star!</p> <p>Thanks slim cat. It can be quite hard to find the right “level” of distressing. I like patina but not a lot of ripping. When I find the wash/patina is right usually the fit is wrong, or vice versa. Good luck on your quest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild/page/2#post-2351384 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 11:32:30 +0000 Dee 2351384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowza, they are going to be so cool to style in that colour, I can see all its exotic and "wild" potential. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild#post-2351381 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 10:18:44 +0000 Sisi 2351381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful jeans! (also when they were blue). You will look smashing in them. I like the word "Wild" !&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild#post-2351375 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 08:46:45 +0000 Star (Lise) 2351375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dyed jeans!&nbsp; I love your word and the reasoning for it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild#post-2351362 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 06:50:09 +0000 slim cat 2351362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun - love both versions ( blue distressed denim is my wish for the next denim addition )! You have amazing skills and imagination - go wild! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild#post-2351359 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 04:53:42 +0000 Brooklyn 2351359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lee, that’s the spirit.</p> <p>Thanks Ms Maven!</p> <p>Thanks Sal. Yes, fashion (outside of work and sombre occasions) should be fun. </p> <p>Thanks FC! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild#post-2351353 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 03:53:13 +0000 Lee 2351353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually feel much more drawn to them with your red over-dye.<br /> I have a pair of acid washed fuchsia jeans I love and these remind me of them a bit, the vibe. . I don’t necessarily invite ridicule on purpose but I don’t really mind it anymore if it happens. Be as wild as you dare, I say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild#post-2351352 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 03:51:03 +0000 MsMaven 2351352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them more in red as well. Something intriguing about them--and can't wait to see you wearing them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild#post-2351351 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 03:38:39 +0000 Sal 2351351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How awesome Brooklyn - love it for you!&nbsp; It seems like taking life by the horns and seizing onto it is the sentiment.&nbsp; Why not have fun with fashion - why not push it out there?</p> <p>These look very cool and I look forward to your styling.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild#post-2351349 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 03:22:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2351349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are fantastic, and so is your word of the year!

I must say that you three are my “wild” icons on the forum. I love the way that you dive head first into fashion.</p> <p>Bijou, a McQueen comparison! How good is that! That makes me feel very smug about my work :)</p> <p>Thanks SarahD8. Autumn/Winter still seems like a long time away but it is exciting to have some preparations under way.</p> <p>Thanks Angie. I have some ideas for styling them already. Wheels turning…</p> <p>Thanks Kate!</p> <p>Thanks DonnaF. That made me laugh. I think I will tell people they are 2016 McQueen. (See Bijou’s comment above.)</p> <p>Thanks Rachy and Irina! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild#post-2351341 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 02:58:14 +0000 Barbara Diane 2351341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look amazing!!

The new jeans look fab and remind me of one of my favourite McQueen looks from the 2016 collection, style never dates! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild#post-2351307 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 01:21:05 +0000 SarahD8 2351307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES.

I’m a tricky fit for jeans so if I find a pair I like, and they are reasonably priced, I always duplicate. That enabled me to take a risk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild#post-2351286 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 23:39:28 +0000 Brooklyn 2351286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha! Thanks Helena. I was once told, about 15 years ago mind you, that I was too old to wear a maxi dress. What? There is an age limit on maxi dresses? That probably means there is an age limit on super distressed, overdyed jeans too. Don’t care, not listening… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild#post-2351285 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 23:39:04 +0000 Jules 2351285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I think I remember you posting those jeans, and they’re a fave of mine at least! Excellent to have an extra pair to play with - I think they look very cool! </p>
