We really are style sisters </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805949 Sun, 07 May 2017 02:19:27 +0000 Janet 1805949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, I wish I'd thought of this before I got rid of a pair of Hudson baby bootcut jeans a couple of years ago. The hems always caught around the vamps of my boots. And then I gained a few pounds and decided the jeans weren't worth keeping around in case I lost the weight. I could have salvaged them -- oh well!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805946 Sun, 07 May 2017 02:14:55 +0000 Brooklyn 1805946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have those shoes too sis!</p> <p>Great idea about the jeans. I have some baby bootcuts I got rid of because they didn't flare enough for me. Or maybe the flare didn't start at the right point. They just weren't right around my shoe. I think now that I should have tried this. </p> <p>You look fab. Love the jacket too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805945 Sun, 07 May 2017 02:13:53 +0000 Angie 1805945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>LOVE IT ALL.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805931 Sun, 07 May 2017 01:45:13 +0000 Janet 1805931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!</p> <p>Cindy, I'm glad this inspired you! I loved wearing these jeans this way today and may do this with another pair that are just a little too wide in the leg to wear rolled (they look too bulky that way), but are also too narrow at the hem to skim the tops of my shoes nicely.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've gotten so much more wear out of the other pair of jeans that I partly-hacked -- they were just a little short. I let out the hem and left it raw on the back half of the hem -- I left the front part short and finished, and I really like the effect. So I'm doing well with my denim DIYs!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805927 Sun, 07 May 2017 01:32:59 +0000 cindysmith 1805927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In "why didn't I think of that?" news today....</p> <p>.....why didn't I think of that? The side vent in the pants is brilliant. I had a pair of theory slim pants that had the side vents in them from the factory and I freaking loved those pants because they were slim fit yet they came within a half inch of the floor without ruining the line of the pants and they showed a bit of the shoes and they were fabulous and amazing and wonderful and I gained weight and had to pass them on years ago...</p> <p>....and now I think I love you for reminding me that side vents at the hem on pants legs is a thing and I can make my pants work better for me!</p> <p>:-D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805852 Sat, 06 May 2017 20:27:45 +0000 harmonica 1805852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab! Great hack -- very clever. Good you can get more wears now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805850 Sat, 06 May 2017 20:23:56 +0000 Anonymous 1805850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great - love that scarf !! Cute idea to cut open the side seam on the jeans; I've been toying with doing it myself, but would shorten mine at the same time. I still can't get comfortable in full-length bootcuts. Don't know what it is. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805844 Sat, 06 May 2017 19:28:29 +0000 Elizabeth P 1805844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing!&nbsp; I like everything about the outfit, and LOVE your "new" hair.&nbsp; What a fun scarf, it pulls everything together so well.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805843 Sat, 06 May 2017 19:22:42 +0000 The Cat 1805843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfit. Love the colours and lines, and they all look good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805838 Sat, 06 May 2017 18:55:16 +0000 K.M. 1805838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also find full-length straight legs very difficult to wear. I love your hack, I might try it on a pair of semi-retired pants that I don't wear because they are straight-legged. It looks great; I love the whole outfit and especially the scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805835 Sat, 06 May 2017 18:36:43 +0000 anchie 1805835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfit and your hair. You look happy and radiant. Good idea with the jeans hack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805834 Sat, 06 May 2017 18:35:44 +0000 karen13 1805834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jeans hack - what a great idea! Those jeans look fab on you. Congrats on all the hiking - nothing like long hikes for both mind and body! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805832 Sat, 06 May 2017 18:25:13 +0000 minimalist 1805832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY successful jeans hack. Here's to wearability. And to how well they work with the Ash's.</p> <p>Love the platinum streaks, too! I'm tempted but keep getting pushback from stylists. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-team-spirit-and-hacking-my-jeans#post-1805828 Sat, 06 May 2017 18:20:57 +0000 Janet 1805828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what I wore today for working in my studio (open to the public today too), and maybe going to the baseball game later. </p> <p>These COH jeans were too tight a couple of months ago and I nearly gave them away in despair, but I guess hiking 8-10 miles a day for two weeks does a body good, and I can fit back into them now. However, the long straight leg has always been a bit of a challenge to work with. I finally decided to do something I'd been wanting to try -- opening up the side seam to create vents at the hem, which makes the jeans easier to wear without rolling or cuffing them. I have plenty of other jeans to roll/cuff, and it's hard for me to find jeans long enough to wear at full length with any kind of heel, so I think I'll get more wear out of these now. </p> <p>I dug out a closet orphan as well -- this old black and white jersey knit moto from INC. It tends to look a bit too polished/dressy for my current taste, but paired with a graphic tee, jeans and sneakers, it works better for me. </p> <p>I don't know how current the Ash wedge sneakers are, but they're comfy, casual, and I still like them, so I'm wearing them! </p> <p>Added my blue backpack and the scarf to tie together all the colors. :-)</p> <p>PS Oh, almost forgot, I got my hair cut and colored the other day, and my stylist got the light streaks even more of a cool platinum -- I like it even better than I did before! </p>
