I remember when I was a child, our doctor always wore very elegant suits. Since he was a very jovial person off duty and we lived in a corner of the countryside where everyone knew everyone, it may have helped him project more authority and distance.&nbsp; </p> <p>Thank you very much for your support, <b>tanstaafl</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885575 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 22:36:51 +0000 tanstaafl 1885575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits make me wish I could wear jeans to work! Great proportions, as others have said. I like them both. The jacket in number two is really a great piece and Works so well with those shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885549 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 21:29:09 +0000 Jenni NZ 1885549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What beautiful hair you have, Aurore! I like both outfits but especially outfit 2 for the colour matching of jacket and shoes, and the toning of the bag. I would like to wear my jeans to work but I never do, somehow they don't feel professional enough for a family doctor even though I think Gryffin ( who is also a doctor) wears her black ones to work. I stick to my ponte pants in the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885546 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 21:07:11 +0000 Katerina 1885546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are absolutely perfect on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885544 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 21:04:41 +0000 Aurore 1885544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for your compliments, <b>Katerina</b>! I tried these jeans in the Gap corner of a department store here in France, but ordered them online as I needed the "Tall" length which was not available in store. Generally, I have a hard time finding trousers that fit my rather sturdy shape in France and end up ordering online.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885520 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 20:16:26 +0000 Katerina 1885520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are beatiful and suit you perfectly. I love the way you have styled your Austrian jacket. Your outfits are extremely well balanced, chic and sophisticated.</p> <p>I love those blue jeans, exactly the shape of pants I love to wear too. Have you bought them in Europe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885518 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 20:14:34 +0000 Aurore 1885518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>karen13</b>, I love the idea of a colorful turtleneck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885443 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 16:26:38 +0000 karen13 1885443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes yes to both outfits. I’m so glad that I am seeing more bootcut and trouser styles at retail. Maybe a turtleneck in a vivid color to help you get into a color comfort zone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885426 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 15:34:08 +0000 Angie 1885426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Aurore</b>, very well deserved praise.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885366 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 11:36:16 +0000 Aurore 1885366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn </b>and <b>Mainelady</b>, thank you very much for your thrilling and motivating comments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885348 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 10:29:53 +0000 Mainelady 1885348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your jeans outfits are so polished and fit you beautifully.

The bootcuts are a really flattering style for you. I love bootcuts and flares too.</p> <p>I like both outfits but special love for no 2. The jacket and leopard scarf look really swish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885336 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 09:37:02 +0000 Aurore 1885336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Cee </b>for the turtleneck suggestion! It could indeed add some kind of collar drape without the bulk of a scarf. And I don't like cowlnecks on me either. :)<br />&nbsp;<br />Thank you <b>smittie</b>! I was really happy when I found these strappy pumps. They are practical, comfortable&nbsp;and&nbsp;the straps are rather elegant (like ballet shoes!).</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, thank you for your kind words! </p> <p><b>Janet </b>wow, two rock concerts the same day - wonderful day! Enjoy! <br />PS: Dark bootcuts rock!

I am especially drawn to the second one, because I also like to tone down the look of certain sorts of blazers by wearing them with jeans. As a matter of fact that is my business casual uniform, so to speak, which is actually dressy in my environment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885283 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 03:43:55 +0000 Janet 1885283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, dark bootcut denim sister! This style of jeans is my most flattering too, but tends to be a little harder to work into my ultracasual life than skinnies and boyfriends. The way you’ve styled these is really wonderful sophisticated business casual! </p> <p>Looking forward to your challenge next week. I’m trying to think of what to wear tomorrow for the last of my five-day no-blue-jeans challenge. Especially since the day involves two rock shows (an acoustic concert in the afternoon, and a punk show in the evening!). I think I have it figured out though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885271 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 02:45:56 +0000 Anonymous 1885271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really know how to wear a pair of jeans. Gorgeous. The 2nd outfit is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885266 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 02:37:48 +0000 Anonymous 1885266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with aquamarine that you are “quietly sophisticated”. I like your neutral colour palette.<br /> The light shoes look awesome—tall but the straps keep them on! Great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885198 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 22:24:03 +0000 Cee 1885198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both outfits, Aurore !</p> <p>...and in the second photo a lightweight or cashmere turtleneck would work beautifully too... but, no evil cowlnecks ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885173 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 20:44:13 +0000 Aurore 1885173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You may have not worn many dresses, Christina, but congrats for having managed to wear skirts! To me they are the hardest thing to style : I think I <i>never </i>created an skirt outfit I actually liked. And indeed winter is not the easier season for dresses...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885170 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 20:37:07 +0000 Christina F. 1885170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to wear dresses more too, Aurore. I just looked at my tracking for the month, and I managed a dress once, and skirts twice. My black jeans were by far the most worn item. </p> <p>It's cold! I'd hoped to wear a dress this week, but it ended up being colder than I'd expected. Even though I have ideas for layering to make my dresses warmer, I've still balked at wearing them in the mornings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885165 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 20:29:32 +0000 Aurore 1885165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much <b>Angie</b>, your comments made me blush! </p> <p><b>Cardiff girl </b>and <b>JAileen</b>, thank you so much for your support! </p> <p>Thank you for your kind words, <b>Christina</b>! <br />Thinking of my outfits for next week make me realise I have very few trousers that are not jeans : one pair of navy wide-leg dress pants, one pair of light blue canvas trousers, and flowy palazzos that are not suitable for the season. I'm thinking of not exluding my olive bootcuts, since the fabric looks like denim (thickness and weave) but the trousers themselves feel more like cargos without side pockets. &nbsp;<br />As even my non-jeans pants are bootcuts or wide-leg I don't think I'll have issues with the silhouette. But since they are so scarce, I'll definitely have to step out of my workwear comfort zone and wear dresses! :)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885127 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 18:36:59 +0000 Christina F. 1885127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with those above - such lovely outfits, and great proportions and accessorizing. </p> <p>I'm curious to see you in the no jeans challenge. What kinds of non-jean pants do you have? Will you be able to fall back on these kinds of proportions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885111 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 18:00:05 +0000 JAileen 1885111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in both. I love the Austrian jacket and how you accessorized that outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885091 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 17:34:21 +0000 Cardiff girl 1885091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have made jeans look really rather smart! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1885088 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 17:32:58 +0000 Angie 1885088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You KNOW how to create flattering proportions, <b>Aurore.</b> I'm&nbsp;impressed</p> <p>#2 is KILLER.

Great outfits, and that Austrian jacket is super flattering, especially with the leopard scarf. I can’t think why you wouldn’t wear this more often...so classic and quietly sophisticated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---denim-before-a-week-without-jeans#post-1884967 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 12:31:17 +0000 Helena 1884967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I can see why you wear them a lot, they look amazing. Love these outfits. I am inspired by your jeans-length, which I always get wrong (too short). Your neutral looks gorgeous on you - classic and sophisticated.
