This is why my bf jeans must hurry up and arrive; they roll up much higher and won't interfere with my boots!</p> <p>Christieanne and JulieJohn, I'm glad you like the nails. It feels odd to have so much going on on my hands, but I couldn't resist trying it out for $1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-manicure-and-diy-blazer-restoration#post-679695 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 19:18:39 +0000 JulieJohn 679695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, them tomboy looks really suit ya!

Thanks for trying :)</p> <p>Still a fab look though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-manicure-and-diy-blazer-restoration#post-679669 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:54:57 +0000 rae 679669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I unrolled them one roll, but since the boot shaft is higher on the sides, they don't SIT any lower, if that makes sense. Hm, next time I will try a different shoe because of this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-manicure-and-diy-blazer-restoration#post-679632 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 17:58:31 +0000 Angie 679632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more roll down on the jeans? Pour moi :)</p> <p>Great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-manicure-and-diy-blazer-restoration#post-679552 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 17:00:49 +0000 cciele 679552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The mani is adorable! Goes great with the shirt, and the orange blazer is a great pop of color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-manicure-and-diy-blazer-restoration#post-679547 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 16:57:52 +0000 MNsara 679547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are one of the cutest tomboys I've seen in a loong time! Love that you rescued the blazer because it's a fab color and style. And the jeans with the booties look great (must save that combo for when my own weather cools) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-manicure-and-diy-blazer-restoration#post-679522 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 16:24:57 +0000 Jjsloane 679522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit. Good notes on the blazer too, I have several knit jackets and they have started to pill, but I was afraid to use my sweater rock on them, I'll try the razor. You inspired me to get some size up Matchstick jeans (ebay) - they arrived and have been washed and now it's been 100 degrees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-manicure-and-diy-blazer-restoration#post-679488 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:40:44 +0000 Anonymous 679488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha! I was just about to ask today how to wear booties with straighter leg/non skinny jeans, and you read my mind, Rae! I shall have to try that later (still in steel toes until later this aft).</p> <p>I love the blazer and gingham! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-manicure-and-diy-blazer-restoration#post-679480 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:29:59 +0000 Anonymous 679480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the combo of orange and plaid and how you broke the halloween connotation with adding brown and denim. </p> <p>I can't wait for fall, I miss my blazers and button downs.</p> <p>Rae, if you can, can you please scoot over to my frye julia thread? added new pics. I would love to have you take a second look, since you own them as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-manicure-and-diy-blazer-restoration#post-679478 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:26:19 +0000 modgrl 679478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it alot!!

Happy friday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-manicure-and-diy-blazer-restoration#post-679470 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:16:22 +0000 christieanne 679470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your tomboy look today. The orange jacket looks fantastic and good thinking on the shave-save~<br /> I think I will pick those nail things up to add to my niece's birthday bag - adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-manicure-and-diy-blazer-restoration#post-679459 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:03:03 +0000 rae 679459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DIY July is rapidly coming to a close and, as I have pitiful few DIYs to show for it, I tried out a Sally Hansen Salon Effects gingham manicure. I hardly even paint my nails, so it was not easy for me, and I did not do the most pristine of jobs. Still, it was good enough to leave on and pair with my gingham shirt and "boyfriend" jeans (sized up J. Crew Matchsticks).</p> <p>The only reason I threw on this blazer was in hope that the single-button closure would move me waist/leg line up, but I do like how it brightens the outfit. This blazer was pilling like crazy, but I attacked it with nothing but a disposable leg razor, and now it looks new - NEW I tells ya! And I got the whole bag of razors for a buck. :)</p> <p>F21 Blazer - F21<br /> Old Navy gingham shirt - flea market<br /> Men's belt - flea market<br /> J. Crew Matchsticks - Ebay<br /> Report Marks booties - Amazon<br /> Perlina bag - Goodwill </p>
