It's just new to me to have so many restraints. It's been kind an interesting learning experience, actually. Sarah, thanks for the compliment. I am always so concerned about my hair Yes while I usually have a lot of hair, I think at the moment I have super-human amounts of hair on my head I understand it will fall out at some point, but it's nice to have some upsides in the here and now. sarah on "WIW--a series of compromises" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--a-series-of-compromises#post-724077 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 03:48:52 +0000 sarah 724077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, and your hair is looking just FAB these days : ) I think it's very happy on hormones! (Not that it didn't look great before) JR on "WIW--a series of compromises" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--a-series-of-compromises#post-723928 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 00:10:11 +0000 JR 723928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your hubby was right. You should trust his fashion instincts more. ;o) This to you is compromising? No, it was just working within the restraints, which is not at all the same thing. Restraints can actually be very helpful, narrowing our choices from the outset. Too many choices = paralysis. I agree with everyone else. You did marvellously well.

I am feeling the strength to get dressed again tomorrow seeping into my bones :) But Sarah, in the mean time I thought of another defense. But now I forgot what. Hmm good thing it's not needed :) Angie that is good to hear! Thank you so much for chiming in. I wasn't able to follow the NYFW coverage very much yet. Angie on "WIW--a series of compromises" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--a-series-of-compromises#post-723718 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:47:19 +0000 Angie 723718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your hubs just scored big brownie points with me. Scarlet, this high-top sneaker look was all over NYFW street style last week. You are cool and hip, Queen Casual Euro Chic sarah on "WIW--a series of compromises" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--a-series-of-compromises#post-723710 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:42:22 +0000 sarah 723710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are cracking me up, Scarlet. No defense needed, my dear, and hubs is indeed a keeper. You look fabulous : ) K.

Period. 723680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ See! You are the exact, perfect example of how fun and cool cons and skirts can look and how the right person can make them (or athletic shoes in general) look fabulous with a skirt. I can only hope that I looked even half as cool as you do pregnant.

And I like the funky sneakers, I think they work. Your skin looks amazing btw. Ingunn on "WIW--a series of compromises" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--a-series-of-compromises#post-723630 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 19:42:22 +0000 Ingunn 723630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like this! Even the sneakers, although Cons would have been even better. The blouse has great colors, I think. You have a nice silhouette, too. Your husband's comment was spot on! Scarlet on "WIW--a series of compromises" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--a-series-of-compromises#post-723607 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 19:17:27 +0000 Scarlet 723607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These days I am led very little by what I would like to wear and driven mostly by the art of the possible. It’s hard to sit on my hands for fall shopping because it’s my favorite time to shop, but whatever is going to fit me over the next two months is probably not something I will get a lot of wear out of. The constraints today, 1.) It is warm. 2.) I need to wear these super-stylish orthopedic tights. 3.) If I am going to be on my feet a lot, no cute shoes. 4.) My Cons have given up the ghost, which leads me to these high tops here. I want new Cons, but can’t bring myself to pay the 2.5 times more that they cost here than I know they cost in the U.S. In my defense, a.) Sneakers are very in fashion in Europe at the moment according to European fashion blogs, and b.) I could dress in a random assortment of second-hand clothing that has seen better days for my job and no one would bat an eye. My husband must really love me because this morning as I was wondering does one really leave the house like this, he walked by and said, oooh, you look nice today! Yep, he’s a keeper. By the way, the skirt is a stretchy two layer piece of lace over opaque black, so don’t be disturbed by the see-through bit at the bottom. It’s just a bit shifted. I wouldn’t normally wear something so cheesy, but the price was right, it was comfortable, and non-enlargening. Sorry for the dopey facial expressions. It is evening now, and I am pooped.
