By sheer luck, I saw them the day after some olive conversations on the forum AND they happened to have my size AND they actually fit (which Joe Fresh pants very frequently don't in my experience). These were sort of an experiment but are definitely on my 'upgrade' list (see finds for Zara possibility!).&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.joefresh.com/ca+moto+pants/Categories/Women/Casual-Dress-Pants/Slim-Moto-Jean/p/WF7B145818_309">https://www.joefresh.com/ca+mo.....p/WF7B1458</a></li> <li>Also on the upgrade list is my striped sweater, which is at least 5 years old and fading fast (literally and figuratively) - it's good old Gap, and when I find a good replacement, I'll add it to my finds. (eta: jcrew had a potential - in finds - but sold out. will keep hunting!)</li> <li>The boots are again an old pair, several years for sure, from Nine West, and still going strong as they are not lifestyle-appropriate most days. Pretty much a simple black leather ankle boot with an almond-shaped toe. These are quite similar (the leather looks more peppled on these):&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.ninewest.ca/products/jilene?variant=42329378629">https://www.ninewest.ca/produc.....2329378629</a></li> </ul> <p>So that was not very helpful! However, I'll keep an eye out for replacements and share what I find!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1885371 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 12:42:48 +0000 viva 1885371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What pants, boots, and top are you wearing in pics 1 and 2, TG? They are so classic but I really LOVE the way they fit you. The colors are wonderful - crisp and warm. Just a step up from denim but it really makes such a difference. You're inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1885328 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 06:46:18 +0000 Amy Isabella 1885328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the second outfit, its fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1885317 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 05:45:04 +0000 Katerina 1885317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I missed the second outfit, sorry, was only commenting the striped top outfit before. The second one is really nice too, casual simple elegance and great colours on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1885308 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 05:02:10 +0000 Jaime 1885308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great with both outfits.

Olive and stripes are a winner aren’t they? I also think tucked looks fine too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1885167 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 20:32:37 +0000 Katerina 1885167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfit, the colours are really great!

Your brunettes-in-blue advice still holds I will re-focus on navy/ink as my base neutral going forward! Your outfit is gorgeous (of course!), and I love the pattern mix with the dress and scarf.</p> <p>Thanks all for the kind comments; Christina, I think your outfit sounds winter-cozy-chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1885075 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 17:21:48 +0000 Angie 1885075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>SOOOO much more flattering than black and grey, <b>Helena</b>. Truly. To my eye any way. You look crisp, fresh and very polished. Gorgeous.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm a frock today - LOVE my frocks:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1885064 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 17:08:16 +0000 texstyle 1885064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fantastic! I love navy with olive. I agree the slim bottoms work similarly to slim jeans so it's a natural transition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1885028 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 15:55:11 +0000 karen13 1885028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Streamlined chic. I have not been a tucker for years, but am coming round to the idea. I like both on you, but agree with the analysis of top length - you get a nice long leg line even with the top untucked. But the tuck does allow you to showcase your belt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1885017 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 15:15:30 +0000 Christina F. 1885017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still going strong here! I worried about wearing my ponte leggings today, as that might leave me with nothing for tomorrow that I can layer under, but I remembered something else I have. I've paired these with tall black riding boots. Not one of my dressier outfits, but I feel cozy.</p> <p>I love your outfit today. The colors are great together, an I agree you don't need the tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1885004 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 14:39:00 +0000 Helena 1885004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aurore, high five for stripe parallelism! :)</p> <p>delurked, definitely - I've not strayed from my standard silhouette, so it's been pretty easy to make the replacement. I just need to remember to offset the muted bottoms with a top with a little more 'pop', so the stripes are working. I might have to experiment with a bright bottom with a more muted top for spring ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1884994 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 14:29:32 +0000 delurked 1884994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m really liking your colored bottoms in combination with your striped tops. The slim bottoms also seem close to your normal jean silhouette, which may help you branch out from denim when you choose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1884992 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 14:27:12 +0000 Aurore 1884992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simple and classy. I also prefer the outfit with the&nbsp;top untucked, but&nbsp;it may just be&nbsp;my taste for stripe parallelism influencing my judgement.&nbsp;:)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1884988 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 14:23:54 +0000 Helena 1884988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Elizabeth! Agreed on the semi-tuck - this top is already short, and doesn't benefit from the tuck.</p> <p>I wouldn't say I'm missing my jeans, but I can say I don't think I'd feel as comfortable wearing any of these pants day after day, as I am quite happy to do with my jeans. That said, I think this will encourage me to mix it up a little and throw in a non-jeans look more often.</p> <p>Can't wait to see your olive, navy and white rendition </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1884987 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 14:20:48 +0000 Elizabeth P 1884987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both ways of wearing the top work.&nbsp; A semituck probably works better with a longer top, where it creates more of an asymmetrical look.&nbsp; YLF though!&nbsp; Are you missing your jeans?&nbsp; </p> <p>You've given me an idea to wear my navy/white striped top with my olive Dres.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---no-jeans-day-4#post-1884985 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 14:18:20 +0000 Helena 1884985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's today's outfit - after taking the selfie, I realized keeping the top simple and untucked was more flattering (to my eye at least). As always, trading in the heels for winter boots :/<br /> ETA - I changed into a gingham shirt and navy sweater to freshen up for a busy MOTG evening. I think I like this better ... </p>
