So fab to have you back on this forum. I missed you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-830247 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:03:31 +0000 jayne 830247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in this neutral outfit. And the waxed denim and boots give it edge. Thumbs up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-830193 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 13:17:47 +0000 Thistle 830193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing. Too bad about the sweater, but at least the boots are working out well. So fun that both you and DH like coated denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-830064 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 04:20:25 +0000 Suz 830064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing, scarf twin!! Love the whole outfit. </p> <p>I need a sweater shaver, too. I have a stone, but agree it can be on the harsh side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-830031 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 03:41:18 +0000 Ariadne 830031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! This is pretty much my FFBO formula. Stripes, denim, boots, scarf, done. I will take any excuse to buy another striped shirt! I'm really loving coated denim (DH loves it too, which is a bonus).</p> <p>I have a sweater stone but I find it can be harsh on certain materials. I used it on a badly pilled BR cardi last night and it left the material looking fuzzy and rough (worked fine on my other two finer gauge BR cardis, though). This top is a very delicate open-weave. I think the stone would destroy it. </p> <p>I've actually been sweater shaver shopping for months. I wanted to order the Brookstone one but it's out of stock. Then I thought I'd shell out for the Japanese Izumi brand, which has amazing reviews on Amazon (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Formerly-Izumi-Seiko-S-Yard-KT11C/dp/B000E1FGHW" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Formerly.....B000E1FGHW</a>), but it won't ship to Canada. Argh! I need a sweater shaver! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-830009 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 03:02:31 +0000 Beth Ann 830009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is terrific! Simple, but full of style and personality! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-830006 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 02:58:46 +0000 Sarah A 830006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look. I have used a pumice like sweater stone with a lot of success. It kinds of makes a black mess of crumbs as it works. The shavers scare me that i would put a hole in my clothing, although I know others use them with ease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-829981 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 01:55:16 +0000 Jaime 829981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great and I hope you resolve the pilling issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-829945 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 01:09:38 +0000 Janet 829945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice!</p> <p>The pilling is so frustrating! I just today laundered a Caslon top that hasn't seen a ton of wear, but it's already pilling. I'm not in love with it anymore anyway, and I have other grey layering pieces, so I'm thinking it may go in the donation bag. </p> <p>My ancient sweater shaver (probably 15 years old and about $10 if that) gave up the ghost a while back and I haven't bought a new one yet. I might give the pilly top a reprieve until I get a new shaver. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-829940 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 01:06:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 829940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit on you! Great tonal look with fab fits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-829937 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 01:04:26 +0000 CocoLion 829937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe if you have some flexibility with the color you can find a replacement top? I love the fit on you, this is a fantastic casual outfit and while I liked your slouchy outfits, I agree this one is just that much more sharp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-829884 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:10:06 +0000 Ariadne 829884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any recs for good shavers, caro? The ones I've tried didn't work at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-829876 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:00:19 +0000 Caro in Oz 829876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chic casual:) </p> <p>Even expensive knits pill - those shaving machines really work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-829848 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 23:26:37 +0000 Anonymous 829848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect weekend outfit for running around with kids. :-p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-829817 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 22:48:48 +0000 Ariadne 829817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Parsley. I won't even try to replace it--I've learned that's an exercise in frustration! But I'll keep my eye out for that colour in other items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-829816 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 22:48:45 +0000 Krista 829816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fantastic to me! I love it when cheap boots last a long time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-829813 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 22:46:29 +0000 Parsley 829813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great casual outfit! Too bad about the pilling, but it doesn't show here.<br /> It's so hard when you want to replace something really specific like that- it can be tough to find the same thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-coated-denim-and-stripes-not-slouchy#post-829799 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 22:18:36 +0000 Ariadne 829799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After wearing a slouchy outfit yesterday and feeling quite a bit less than fab, I went in the opposite direction today. Just taking the kids to a local kids' museum--nothing fancy. I really liked this outfit and I wish the cheap pullover wasn't already almost unwearable due to pilling after less than six outings. The color is great for me and not easy to come by. I know now to keep my eyes peeled for that shade of green! Just to prove that price point is no guarantor of quality, though, the black moto boots have survived 2 seasons of hard wear and are a synthetic $35 deal that have shocked me with their versatility and staying power.</p> <p>Jessica Simpson coated black denim, Shoedazzle moto boots, striped pine and black pullover, BR scarf.</p> <p>It's haircut time this weekend, I think... </p>
