I'm much more likely to go for a baggy BF style after a long week at work in more structured clothing if I still have serious errands to run. In these circumstances I tend to keep the accessories and shoes nicer than say if I'd been off all week. It is probably a psychological thing, but for some reason I feel like a woman with a purpose that way, and less like a bum!</p> <p>You have great belts and I love your BF jeans with the gold flats--- I think it is a great way to celebrate the last of our warm temps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-722381 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 02:18:37 +0000 Thistle 722381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute outfit, matched by the cute kitty at your feet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-722376 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 02:15:17 +0000 Jaime 722376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the bfs with the ballet flats. I love that belt - all the snakeskin belts I find are too skinny. And I really like the necklace too. Still, the sum is greater than the parts and you look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-722356 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 01:44:06 +0000 KathyL 722356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that belt!! I think you look very put together for a casual Saturday.</p> <p>ETA: I meant that as a compliment, by the way it came across weird when I re-read it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-722282 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 23:17:11 +0000 Caro in Oz 722282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look relaxed &amp; put together which is all good in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-722268 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 22:52:06 +0000 Angie 722268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You, your outfit, and your musings are super cute!

You look fashionable yet not like you take yourself too seriously. It's a fun look and I'm glad you are getting more comfortable with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-722140 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 19:58:56 +0000 Anonymous 722140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute -- I love that printed belt! And your kitties are always so pretty and fluffy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-722123 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 19:41:58 +0000 MsMary 722123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just ridiculously fab! The belt is fantastic and really elevates a super simple outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-722043 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 18:02:24 +0000 Scarlet 722043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this look is about attitude and fun (maybe less about flattery), and you wear it well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-722034 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 17:48:58 +0000 catgirl 722034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're only going to get more comfortable in them. Honestly, they are all I want to wear on the weekends. Or ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-721959 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 16:12:18 +0000 Anonymous 721959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's no doubt about it, BF's are a great weekend jean. I tend to be obsessive about things in my wardrobe, like if I think a certain style or silhouette is *best* on me, then I want *everything* to be in that style or silhouette. But then it becomes ho-hum because that's all I ever wear. </p> <p>I like the idea of you having the BF's AND the Flattering Flares to change things up. These BF's look so slouchy cool on you, and then another day, or on date night you can reach for the other style if your mood changes. Okay, this is really off the wall, but it reminds me of the air fresheners that are advertised on TV that have two different fragrances so that when your nose gets used to one, it changes so you can smell it again, lol! My brain is very strange sometimes, clearly! Did I mention you look fab? That *was* the point of all this. Sorry! :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-721949 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 16:02:03 +0000 RunnerChick 721949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I always like looking at your WiWs (even if I don't always comment). You make even the simplest of outfits look polished and put together. Like you, I'm ambivalent about the BF, but I think you make him look good! Happy Saturday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-721947 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:59:56 +0000 Makrame 721947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I though it was taupe, too. I guess I am not the most attentive reader/viewer. :)</p> <p>Whatever that color is, it looks fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-721945 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:58:22 +0000 Suz 721945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks terrific. The moss green (which almost reads as TAUPE to my obsessed brain) works brilliantly with the metallic shoes. The belt ties it all together. And the necklace is so pretty. </p> <p>So interesting that you are starting to reach for the BF. Maybe he's not so bad after all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-721944 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:57:40 +0000 Makrame 721944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great! I like the metallic flats echoing the color of the t-shirt. The other accessories (belt and necklace) are great, too. I have an issue with tucking into BF jeans (well, tucking in general, too) - only long silk shirts seem to work, everything else just creates the dreaded muffin top. I am amazed how good your outfit looks with the t-shirt tucked (not implying that I would expect you to look anything other than great, just sharing my own challenge in wearing this type of outfit).</p> <p>I also seem to reach for the BF jeans all the time now - wore mine today and got a compliment/question (as in "You look nice! Are you going to work today? You seem to be dressed up!") So I guess BF jeans do not necessarily read as super-casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bf-and-i-and-an-interesting-observation#post-721940 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:48:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 721940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a super casual day today around our household and I'm just running out to pick up a few things quickly. i was on my feet almost all day yesterday in heels so flats were absolutely essential for my pouting piggies today.</p> <p>I paired my metallic flats with the smaller of my two BF jeans, snakeskin belt and a plain moss green v-neck tee. I popped on my favourite amber necklace and that's it. What I found interesting is that the BF jeans were the first ones I reached for. I'm starting to feel more comfortable in them even though I realize figure flattery is not the point of them. Maybe you CAN teach an old dog new tricks???</p> <p>Anyway, what do you think? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Tee: Danier Leather<br /> Jeans: Gap Sexy Boyfriend<br /> Belt: Olsen Europe (thrifted)<br /> Shoes: Enzo Angiolini<br /> Necklace: gift from hubby </p>
