I think with the longer top underneath, the length is perfect for pants!</p> <p>Great example of wearing jeans in a refined and chic way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742470 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 10:17:54 +0000 Jjsloane 742470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great combination!

Now, even I aggree this has to be mostly a skirt blazer it works so well here, because you have a longer sweatter underneath! Fab outfit, all together with crossbody bag, and jeans!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742444 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 07:37:34 +0000 Kiwichik 742444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spectacular! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742375 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 04:14:11 +0000 Deborah 742375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, your outfit sounds fab. Bet you looked great. Is your church ennvironment conservative or quite modern? I love dresses over pants, and I am in the process of reveiwing my dresses at the moment with the express purpose of seeing which of them will work over pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742354 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 03:24:58 +0000 Deborah 742354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Parsley, thank you:) And for the comment re my hair. My hair is my "thing", if it doesn't look right then nothing looks right. But I always love your hair (clearly we both like a sharp bob) and you seem to have quite a bit of volume too. My hair is very fine, but apparently I have a lot of it!!</p> <p>Suz, thank you. I have been re-evaluating a bit recently and asking myself, 'does this really feel like me', so your comments are much appreciated. Dressing is such a wonderful creative expression. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742346 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 03:16:49 +0000 Beth Ann 742346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore jeans and black to church today too, although wore a black dress over skinnies and no jacket. Funny, but I was inspired by you, and here you are in the combination today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742322 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 02:33:22 +0000 Suz 742322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would just echo everything that Kyle said. Your WIWs are so inspiring to me because you do have this very clear sense of your style and what works and what gives you that happiness factor. And that, in turn, gives US a happiness factor of 10!</p> <p>I can't wait to see this jacket paired with your cobalt skirt. It will be wonderful...and it makes me wish I had a similar jacket (having just purchased the cobalt skirt!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742317 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 02:26:00 +0000 sarah 742317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, that ink blue is stunning on you. Wow. And I really like the striped jacket for the reasons Angie pointed out - you look fab with that white near your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742251 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:55:19 +0000 Jaime 742251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The striped jacket looks fantastic on you and you should wear it more often. The way it is cut seems to make the lines fall diagonally on the bottom half, which I think makes it more flattering. Love you in blue as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742246 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:48:34 +0000 Angie 742246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sound of that combination </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742245 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:47:04 +0000 Deborah 742245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, thank you, that is such a lovely compliment. I really appreciate your words. Looking authentic and true to myself is incredibly important to me and I never want to be trying to look like something I am not. </p> <p>I do have white jeans so I might try the jacket with those, could be a great option for Spring.</p> <p>Angie, thank you! I love the jacket and want to wear it more. I am thinking of trying it over my cobalt skirt next? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742241 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:45:34 +0000 Angie 742241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so great to see you in this striped jacket, Debs. The white stripes highlight your face in an extra pretty and crisp way. I just love the outfit with the crossbody bag especially. So fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742239 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:43:10 +0000 Kyle 742239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This jacket -- the whole outfit, really -- is so you. I like that about your WIWs. You know who you are and what you like and so you always look authentic. I like the jacket a lot, stripes are so great, and I think it works wonderfully with pants and with these jeans in particular. Do you ever wear white pants? That would look fab, too. And I know you wear a pop of red from time to time. That would be another way to change it up. Your outfits are consistently wonderful and inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742205 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:13:33 +0000 Parsley 742205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a sharp jeans outfit, Deborah!<br /> I love your striped jacket and I think it works perfectly over pants/ jeans. It's funny how we get in these mental ruts where we think an item only works one way. It's great to shake it up a little and try it with a different combination.</p> <p>And I have to say, your hair always looks so pretty, and has so much body. I'm really jealous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742203 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:12:49 +0000 Deborah 742203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I think I may have seen you post yours once? I have found this jacket quite challenging to get into regular rotation. I am not sure why because I am pretty sure if it was black I would wear it all the time:) I think I have been overly concerned about the horizontal stripes making me look big but I think if I keep the under layers streamlined it works. Love to see more of yours:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742201 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:10:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 742201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delightful! I have a black/white striped jacket very similar to yours Deborah and I haven't worn it yet. You're giving me fantastic ideas so think I'm gonna have to bust it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742194 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:06:20 +0000 Deborah 742194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Lyn, Im a new comer to jeans so I am loving them, but I like your alternative in today's WiW I have the Brown Sugar jacket which is much nicer jacket that this one but I am struggling to style it. Being a short jacket it seems to be hitting me on my widest part and I think I am going to have to wear a longer layer under it for balance. When I get a chance I will have a play and post some pics. It's a long story, but I can't return it, knew it was the 'best' cut for me, but really like it and want to make it work:)</p> <p>Megan, thanks so much. Our church provides quite the variety of attire on Sundays! From the older folk who are quite traditional to the youth who wear jeans to everything. I like to sit somewhere in the middle so jeans in smart casual ensemble works well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742132 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 22:33:24 +0000 Anonymous 742132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Deborah! I go to a church where jeans are perfectly acceptable attire too, so thanks for giving me some great ideas for dressing my jeans up on Sundays. I will wear jeans all week for you!</p> <p>Megan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742130 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 22:30:50 +0000 Lyn D. 742130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Deborah, I am smiling because it is usually me wearing jeans in my pics and your thought provoking post about jean-wearing encouraged me to not wear them yesterday!<br /> (Only from the point of view that variety is good. I agreed with your take on the article in question.)<br /> I like this jacket . (Did the Brown Sugar one work out for you?) The longer blouse underneath is good with the jeans. I am not sure how it would work with a tucked and belted top though length wise. As usual the black/white combo. looks lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-stripes#post-742126 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 22:09:25 +0000 Deborah 742126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>In the light of our recent jeans discussion, I am tempted to wear jeans all week ...but I probably wont :)</p> <p>I did however wear jeans on Sunday, to church and then out visiting my MIL and a quick spot of shopping.</p> <p>This is the first time I have worn this jacket over jeans (or in fact pants) and I am wondering why ... for some reason I had it in my head this was a 'skirt' jacket but I think the jacket is ok with pants? Is it too short? What do you think?</p> <p>Anyway the outfit comprises of straight leg jeans, ink blue satin blouse, black and white striped jacket and black wedges. It got cooler after lunch so I did change the shoes for booties.</p> <p>As always I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions for improvement.</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
