I had a pair of bootcut cords altered last year. It was the best thing I could have done because than I wore them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086674 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:17:03 +0000 Suz 1086674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so happy. Love these outfits, especially #2. You make me want to find a pair of grey skinnines pronto! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086672 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:13:22 +0000 Aida 1086672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well skinnies are quite practical, and hey you look great in yours so no reason to stop wearing eh? Great outfits, I'm especially digging #3. Good on you for the new white shirt attitude, you'll find it's a great way to finish many outfits as well as dress up some more rugged looks. Nice moody colors in #2, while the white shirt pops in some brightness. And love the necklace in #1; that's such a cozy silhouette, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086479 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 19:54:16 +0000 Lisa 1086479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea to use the white shirt as a layering piece.&nbsp; I purchase my new white shirts in the spring, this way the armpits are nice and white when I wear the shirt on it's own.&nbsp; By the time layering season comes along, I can still wear my white shirt, yellow armpits and all because no one sees them but me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086386 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 18:46:29 +0000 Kimberley 1086386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is my favourite, too.&nbsp; No wonder you went back to skinnies - YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086363 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 18:28:41 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 1086363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of them. I think that outfit #2 is my favourite though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086361 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 18:27:40 +0000 Angie 1086361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All excellent outfits. I particularly love #2. Killer fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086360 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 18:26:13 +0000 pastrygirl 1086360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!</p> <p>I just noticed I'm a Veteran, and all I could think was "maybe I just needed to wise up about skinnies and let them back into my life," LOL.</p> <p>karymk -- I love color, too, and usually wear it up top. But lately I've been drawn to darker tops, so I've decided to wear color and pattern on the bottom. I was starting to feel weird having mostly dark gray tops after years of color, but then I remembered my bright&nbsp;green trousers, plaid pants, camo jeans, and now my new red loves. I never wear my (Spiegel) leather jacket, but I'm wearing this knit one as a sweater and not&nbsp;taking it off in the house as I usually do with jackets. It's just right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086269 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 17:26:40 +0000 karymk 1086269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pastrygirl you are about as cute as a button in all these outfits . Don't fight that white shirt and don't fight the skinnies! You like them for a reason!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the brand you must be thinking of for your cardigan is "Michael for Michael Kors II." JK!!! (but it does get ridiculous with the brand/line confusion).</p> <p>I am drawn to women who wear color, so I like number 3 best. &nbsp;I love the Cabi pants (people just love their jeans I hear) in that red, and the knit moto somehow has a softer feel. &nbsp;I bought one in sort of a matelasse quilt cotton and I like it so much and am so glad I didn't do leather. &nbsp;Will post photo. Mine was from H&amp;M for 69.00 I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086197 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 16:10:27 +0000 Anonymous 1086197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all super! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086177 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:57:33 +0000 Thistle 1086177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these! You look so fab, it is hard to pick a favorite.&nbsp; But I am going to say #1, although really, all of these are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086167 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:44:33 +0000 carambola 1086167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of these, but I'm especially taken with #2. Love the layering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086156 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:27:53 +0000 Emily 1086156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the cardigan in #1 with the leather patch pockets. &nbsp;You look great in skinnies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086155 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:27:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1086155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny (and sweet) Pastrygirl </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086154 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:26:29 +0000 pastrygirl 1086154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, what a compliment! Thank you! I'm still forever searching for a pair of black lace-up boots to wear with patterned hose and skirts, to copy your looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086144 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:21:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1086144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fab outfits! And ones I'm going to try and copy - I have skinny ponte knit trousers and love your long cardigan look with yours. And the burgundy cords are delicious and perfect because I also bought a pair of burgundy skinny jeans for fall/winter that I have yet to wear. Thanks for the fantastic inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-to-skinnies#post-1086136 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:18:08 +0000 pastrygirl 1086136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I was over the skinny-jean look this year, but after living without it for a couple of months, I realized I really missed it! What I'm <i>actually</i> over is the long belted cardigan over skinny bottoms. Here are a few looks from this week, including my newly-skinnied gray corduroys that were bootcut before I altered them. I LOVE how they came out!</p> <p>When I look in my closet and see my white button-up (pic 2), my first thought is that it's not a "dress-up" day so I won't wear it. This week, I said, IT'S MY FAVORITE SHIRT! Especially for layering! It's comfy and warm and I love the way it feels, so I'm going to wear it as much as I'd like, even if it's just an under layer. So there. :)</p> <p>Pic 1:<br />Cardigan --&nbsp;Michael Kors (or Kors Michael Kors, I can't keep the brands straight)<br />Tee -- Liz Claiborne<br />Necklace -- not sure; TJ Maxx<br />Leggings -- Yest<br />Boots -- Frye Veronica Slouch</p> <p>Pic 2:<br />Sweater -- Talbots<br />Shirt -- Ann Taylor<br />Gray cords -- Tribal, altered to skinnies&nbsp;by me<br />Booties -- BCBGeneration (LOVE THESE. Tried them on a few months ago and didn't buy them; found them again and didn't make the same mistake twice!)</p> <p>Pic 3:<br />Undershirt -- Eileen Fisher silk blend, metallic-y and warm!<br />Tiger tee -- Bobeau<br />Jacket -- Amber Sun knit moto (instant fave!)<br />Burgundy cords -- CAbi (tried these on twice since the summer but didn't buy because I was trying to avoid skinnies; finally picked them up this week!)<br />Boots -- Frye Veronica Slouch </p>
