I did buy a new bottle of petroleum jelly.. </p> <p>Colette, thank you. I only kept the jar for historic reasons. I hadn’t used it in decades. I use Aquaphor, instead. I asked the doctor if that was okay, and he said he preferred Vaseline - fewer ingredients. It still smells bad.</p> <p>Suz, thank you. I’ve worn the crops with my sandal clogs, and liked the proportions a little better. Also, I’ve come to realize that the further I stand from the mirror, the better. </p> <p>Firecracker, thank you. I hadn’t thought of wearing boots with them. Interesting. I’ll try it out.</p> <p>Mirjana, thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-outfits-1#post-1963969 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 07:45:25 +0000 Mirjana 1963969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely pants, I especially love #2 , simply and polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-outfits-1#post-1963946 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 03:44:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1963946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are great. I love how you have your palette so well tuned; everything here looks great on you. I think the shoes in 1 are good with the pants. I also can empathize with your comment, though, because I have pants that length and shape, and as much as I like the bare-ankle and oxfords on others, I tend to wear mine with booties that show less ankle. The two pairs here in Finds are my go-to style with them. I will often try my oxfords or chunky loafers and then switch to the booties. And I will also wear dark trouser socks with the booties. In summer, I have no such qualms; I will wear sandals or low-top sneakers and no socks with my cropped wide-leg pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-outfits-1#post-1963932 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 02:37:03 +0000 Suz 1963932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the print on those pants is fantastic. I especially love outfit #2, and the colour of the jacket in #1 is excellent. I agree that you might want to play around with footwear for that outfit. It's also possible that camera angle confuses the eye.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-outfits-1#post-1963929 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 02:31:09 +0000 Colette 1963929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice outfits! The colors look great on you. The fit on grey boiled wool is very flattering and I like the way the lighter topper looks with the darker jeans. That old jar cracks me up. I’m so good at editing the medicine cabinet yet horrible at editing my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-outfits-1#post-1963924 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 02:18:48 +0000 Anonymous 1963924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please buy some fresh Vaseline .☺️. You have such a lovely , pulled-together style Janet ...I love seeing your WIW’s . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-outfits-1#post-1963923 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 02:15:06 +0000 JAileen 1963923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, so first off, I bought a new jar of petroleum jelly.</p> <p>Joy, thank you. I should try out my various options with the pants.</p> <p>Shevia, thank you. I didn’t crop out my head because of your earlier comment. And sure enough, people notice if the colors work with my hair or not. </p> <p>Jussie, thank you. I’ll try lighter pants. Good idea.</p> <p>Torontogirl, thank you. I think I’ll hang onto the old Vaseline, but evidently it has a use by date. Who knew?</p> <p>Karen, thank you. It is almost boot weather. Today I unhooked all of the garden hoses. </p> <p>Angie, thank you. And to think I thrifted the blue jacket.</p> <p>Cjh, Cindy, thank you. I wore the blue jacket again today. It’s cooled down a lot here. </p> <p>Jill, thank you. I was afraid wearing bright silver shoes with a bright silver bag might be too much. I’m glad you don’t think so.</p> <p>Sara, thank you. The shoes have such soft leather, they’re almost like slippers.</p> <p>Like the Season, thank you. I’m still pretty shy, but Shevia was right. It’s easier for people to evaluate an outfit when they see the entire person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-outfits-1#post-1963341 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 19:06:49 +0000 Like the Season 1963341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both outfits, JAileen.

And the color/shape of the boiled wool. And both outfits - You look very put together in both. It sounds like boot weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-outfits-1#post-1963158 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 12:54:11 +0000 Helena 1963158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love both of these - you look polished and perfect!</p> <p>As to the Vaseline - I hope you will find a use for that jar when it's eventually empty! That vintage font just makes me happy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-outfits-1#post-1963155 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 12:41:03 +0000 jussie 1963155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like outfit number 2- fantastic to my eye. With outfit one- I think it’s pretty good, but I’m wondering if a lighter pair of pants may work better with those tops and the silver shoes? If you wanted to change it up. Not so much that the shoes need to change imho. Hmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-outfits-1#post-1963041 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 02:42:59 +0000 Jaime 1963041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the light blue coat with your hair. I think higher shoes or slightly more hemmed pants would be worth a try. The second outfit is excellent. As is your vintage vaseline! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-outfits-1#post-1963037 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 02:33:30 +0000 Anonymous 1963037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful. You may be right that higher shoes or longer pants may be best for the first look. Play in your closet and see what you think. The SE once outfit is my favorite. The wool knit jacket looks fab with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-outfits-1#post-1963029 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 02:02:32 +0000 JAileen 1963029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After the September challenge, I’m still taking pictures.</p> <p>1. For church - it was quite chilly - Chaps crops, printed top, thrifted boiled wool jacket, silver oxfords and Furla bag. I was going to wear my grey knit jacket but it seems too long with crops. Also, I think higher shoes might be better. What do you think?</p> <p>2. For a doctor’s appointment - it was 31 this morning. My outfit started with a navy tie dye scarf, but it seemed too much, so I took it off. Grey wool knit jacket, navy top, printed jeans, navy flats and guitar strap bag. I like the look of this longer jacket with long pants. The doctor, a dermatologist, removed a couple things. He said to use petroleum jelly. My jar of petroleum jelly is older than me. It still smells bad, so I guess it’s okay! </p> <p>All comments welcome. </p>
