You do an amazing job of styling your outfits, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-comfort-mode#post-1434273 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 03:51:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1434273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!</p> <p>Rachylou, I wouldn't have thought of steampunk, but I'm guessing it's the boots maybe? You always make me laugh!</p> <p>Astrid, I would say the Patagonia cords are true to size. I wear the same size in them that I do in the Kut from the Kloth Diana. In this pair, I sized up one size, because of the color. The waist is big, but I like that the fit is a little roomier, and I will just wear a belt. I would buy a darker color in my regular size, though.</p> <p>Ruth, you are observant! The dangly earrings are from Lucky, and the necklace is a brown stone disk floating in a hammered silver teardrop frame. It's a handmade piece from a local shop and a gift of my DH. He did a nice job picking it out for me; I wear it a&nbsp; lot. </p> <p>Angie, Diane, and Donna, the shoulder cozy is awesome, isn't it? My friend knit it for me, and we went shopping for the yarn together. <br />Oh, and Angie, I'm wearing high contrast again today. Will post pics later.</p> <p>Suz, the cords are a creamier color than my Eddie Bauer ones, and I do like this color. I was thinking it was more like sandstone (though not tan) and the Eddie Bauer ones were more like granite.</p> <p>UmmLila, I'm excited for you! I hope the petrol leather jacket works out for you. Such an enabler, huh?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-comfort-mode#post-1434195 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 01:15:55 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1434195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Masterful semi tuck. And, apropos of nothing, if I like and end up with the petrol allsaints jacket I heard of through you, you will probably be both blamed and thanked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-comfort-mode#post-1434094 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:30:03 +0000 Suz 1434094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I really like the fit on these ones. They're nice and slim yet have a bit of ease. Perfection! I love the soft off-white, putty tone, as well. Great outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-comfort-mode#post-1433987 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:58:52 +0000 MTBGirl 1433987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are awesome!

Nice textured sweater too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-comfort-mode#post-1433833 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 16:59:26 +0000 Ruth M 1433833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing torontogirl that these gentle shades of green and blue look lovely on you. </p> <p>I really like your dangly earrings in 1-3 and your stone(?) and chain in 4-6.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-comfort-mode#post-1433748 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 15:36:21 +0000 Angie 1433748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm digging the high contrast looks this month. Nice change - and just for fun. I like the way the skinnies tuck into those mid-calf boots. The shawl scarf in #1 is amazing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-comfort-mode#post-1433691 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 14:19:45 +0000 Helena 1433691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous Firecracker Those soft warm neutrals were made for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-comfort-mode#post-1433660 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 13:09:16 +0000 Jaime 1433660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two terrific looks. I like the pants tucked into the boots and semi-tuck with the cognac belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-comfort-mode#post-1433578 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 07:55:26 +0000 Astrid 1433578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks!</p> <p>I have a question about the Patagonia cords - are they true to size/the Patagonia size chart? I've seen them around on sale before. And would you say the rise is low or higher? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-comfort-mode#post-1433576 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 07:51:04 +0000 rachylou 1433576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first outfit makes me think 'steampunk' and air ships... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-comfort-mode#post-1433568 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 06:25:52 +0000 shipskitty 1433568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved all of these looks - cosy, casual and stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-comfort-mode#post-1433560 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 05:22:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1433560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My new stone corduroys are so much more comfortable than my old ones. The fabric is soft and stretchy. They are by Patagonia and feel quite a lot like the Kut from the Kloth Diana style that I also like. Cords are a favorite jeans alternative for me this year, and I can get away with wearing them to work, too. <br />These outfits are variations on some I've worn recently; just a couple of elements changed here or there. </p> <p>The outfits: <br />1-3 (worn for a day mostly off and to teach a sewing class): stone corduroy skinnies (Patagonia, women's fitted corduroys); teal, green, and taupe mixed print knit tee (made by me); sage merino boyfriend cardigan (Halogen); pewter cutout belt (Fossil); knit shoulder cozy in blues and greens (handknit by a friend); gray moto boots (Frye, Lynn); taupe trench (Calvin Klein); taupe shoulder bag (Aunts &amp; Uncles).</p> <p>4-5 (worn for a day of work, setting up an event--jeans allowed!): dark straight leg jeans (Lucky, Sweet Jean); dark brown crew neck tee (Caslon) under black, brown, blue, and sage boucle knit boxy sweater (Two Dog Island); cognac cutout belt (Fossil); gray shimmer oxfords (Naot); not pictured: same trench and bag as above.</p> <p>Thanks for looking! I welcome your thoughts and suggestions. </p>
