Gorgeous with the white and purple (and the printed pumps are SO fun). I also haven't owned (or tried) any proper premium denim, but as fellow Team Riveting Rearsider I must say that #3 is making me reconsider. And I DO wear denim a LOT.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-671120 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 18:21:59 +0000 CocoLion 671120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you love your "new" 7s! They look much better on you than on me. I am so glad they have found a new home, seriously.</p> <p>I think I am going to start another swap pile right now of things that just don't quite make it on me. I have plenty of them. It feels very satisfying to see something work (better) on someone else.</p> <p>I have your new white shirt in the wash (got pet hair on it already, kitty climbed in my suitcase before I could unpack) -- I just noticed it's from J Crew! Thanks a million, I think it far outshines my $17 Costco shirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670987 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 16:30:31 +0000 April 670987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MK! I must know -- in the ten months or so that I have been away from YLF, HOW did you manage to get (even) younger?</p> <p>You look amazing. </p> <p>And Melissa, if you can find a way to participate in a swap, definitely do so ASAP! It's great fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670986 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 16:30:21 +0000 City Poodle 670986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the rooster on the back of the hoodie. Also great color combo on the dress w/ the purple belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670980 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 16:22:56 +0000 ManidipaM 670980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lurrve the styling of that green dress --- it is absolutely sensational on you, even if the jeans are more va-va-voom; the dress is more subtle sexy. Both fun ways to go, of course!</p> <p>And also charmed by how chic you've made the hoodie look --- amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670598 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 02:32:38 +0000 Angie 670598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love you in that teal dress so much, Mary! And the jeans are delicious </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670575 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 02:06:16 +0000 annagybe 670575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans are fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670569 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 02:01:09 +0000 Melissa 670569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh thank you...you all give away such good stuff...but I think it would be fun to see your items on somebody else...making them happy...your jeans fit too well...I think somebody bought them for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670557 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 01:52:51 +0000 MsMary 670557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, Melissa!</p> <p>A swap is super simple, at least the way we do it. We bring our closet orphans -- clothes, shoes, accessories -- hang 'em up on racks and lay 'em out on tables, then we all drink a Mimosa or two and then we dive in and start trying stuff on. If something fits and we like it, we take it home. Badda bing, badda boom. You may end up with one item or a hundred, from Forever 21 or 7 for All Mankind. It's super fun and super unpredictable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670542 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 01:39:37 +0000 Melissa 670542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, I still don't understand how a swap works </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670541 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 01:38:47 +0000 Jonesy 670541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pure awesomeness! I love the new jeans on you, and the sequined top and hoodie are fab. That new green dress is super-duper gorgeous too--LOVE!</p> <p>I still won't pay large sums for denim, but I have come to realize that some lower-priced premium brands are worth it to me (Paige was my gateway denim :). It's all about the pocket placement, man. Good pocket placement = bootyliciousness to the max. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670538 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 01:35:25 +0000 Melissa 670538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, the jeans look fantastic...cute outfit with the sequin tank and sandals and toe nail polish! Love how you accessorized the lands end dress. Very pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670441 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 23:21:10 +0000 Jjsloane 670441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You were meant for those jeans. Totally Bootaylicious! Yes you are now on the dark side. Premium denim can be addicting, but when you find the right pair and they feel so good and look this good. Well it's gotta be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670414 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 22:30:48 +0000 JulieJohn 670414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, thanks for the explanation, and for "Most Creative Uses of 'Bootay' in a Post". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670411 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 22:22:34 +0000 MsMary 670411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never even tried on a pair of premium denim jeans because I just couldn't imagine spending That Kind of Money on jeans. (Keep in mind I have a dressy job and can only wear jeans off-hours. And it's hot here in the summer so make that "only off-hours and not usually in the summer.") </p> <p>But. Oh my good lord.</p> <p>First of all, these 7FAM jeans are super soft. And still substantial enough to hug where they need to hug. But goodness gracious they don't hurt anywhere! And I do think they make my bootay look pretty bootaylicious! And I love the wash. And did I mention the "bootaylicious" thing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670405 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 22:13:27 +0000 Jem 670405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love!!!

I'm curious - what makes premium denim better than, say, middle-of-the-road denim? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670390 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 21:49:39 +0000 Heather 670390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*rug pulled out from under feet*</p> <p>Ow!</p> <p>*pulling self off floor*</p> <p>Um, this is your first pair of Premium Denim? I just thought you never posted that sort of thing, MsSassyMK. Look at your hot bod!!! </p> <p>No turning back....scooch over other budgeted items....spendy denim is on the spreadsheet now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670313 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:32:51 +0000 Ornella 670313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that dress!!

Love the whole outfit in #6! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670100 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:27:21 +0000 Anonymous 670100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fabulous Mary, I'm so jealous that I can't click my fingers and by magic get across the Atlantic to attend swaps! Those jeans look great on you, I've been considering getting myself some premium denim as none of my jeans really fit that well., you have inspired me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670086 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:10:41 +0000 rae 670086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also shocked - shocked! - that you had no premium denim. And look at your cutie bootie in #3! I would be hooked on premium after that, too. </p> <p>I'm diggin how you "grew up" that hoodie with sequins. Also very tickled by Bring Your Swap Items To Work Day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670085 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:07:04 +0000 goldenpig 670085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, look at that booty! That pair of jeans was made for you--so nice of Denise! Super hot--hope hubby was appreciative!</p> <p>And that green dress looks so much better on you than it did on me. The color was all wrong for me but it looks perfect on you! Glad you wore it already! Yay for the swap--it was so great to see you again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670066 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 16:53:37 +0000 catgirl 670066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, of course you look fab, but I can't believe you of all people haven't owned premium denim before now! It is very easy to pick up at consignment stores, sometimes even hemmed to the right length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-715-and-716-swap-goodies#post-670060 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 16:50:36 +0000 MsMary 670060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-5: Last night we went to the Hollywood Bowl and I got to bust out some of my finds from the So Cal swap! These are my first-ever premium denim jeans and I don't think I am ever going back! (*waving at Denise*) Plus, how cute is this hoodie?! Perfect for a chilly evening outdoors!</p> <p>Jeans: 7 for All Mankind (swap)<br /> Hoodie: swap<br /> Sequined tank: JC Penney via eBay<br /> Sandals: Target<br /> Black tote: Coach via eBay</p> <p>6. Today I couldn't wait to wear this green dress from Land's End Canvas, also from the swap! It's great with my Rocket Dog multicolor pumps, purple belt, and "candy" necklace that was a gift from Ornella! White tote from eBay.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and commenting if you are so moved! </p>
