I pour a lot of thought, creativity, love, and joy into sweaters. They really don't bore me because they're worked in various sections/stages of construction, so they're always changing. You must just try one sweater. Something seamless with raglan sleeves is quite nice, and rather simple -- especially if you already know how to&nbsp;knit socks.&nbsp;</p> <p>For socks, even thought they do have sections, I don't find them as satisfying. Perhaps because, other then when I'm cold and the fact that I appreciate hand knit socks, I don't actually like wearing socks. But I do so love to wear hats and sweaters. Maybe that's it... Thanks for the ribbing suggestion. I'll keep it mind should I try socks again.&nbsp;</p> <p><div><br /></div><div><br /><div></p> <p></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts/page/2#post-1357824 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 00:07:09 +0000 E 1357824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keturah, I took it as a compliment, so thank you! Socks bore you but sweaters don't?! Socks finish more quickly than sweaters, lol (almost done w the 2nd sleeve of my first sweater, so I know whereof I speak). I love how socks are big enough to let you play with all kinds of lace/cable/etc. patterns but small enough to travel well/not get overwhelming. I've never knit a pair of plain socks: that sounds boring.&nbsp;But then, I'm a newbie to sweater knitting, so maybe I just don't know about the other side yet. I do love knitting hats. Oh, if you're going to knit a pair of socks, I highly recommend picking a pattern w some kind of ribbing. Makes the fit so much easier!</p> <p>Thank you so much Hil. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts#post-1357561 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 16:51:41 +0000 Hil 1357561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab fab fab! You have an extraordinary wardrobe and talent for making amazing outfits! And I really love your new hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts#post-1357553 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 16:42:44 +0000 Keturah 1357553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everytime I see you I think of the Teddy Girls of the 1950s. And I mean that as a compliment!&nbsp;</p> <p>I wouldn't change a thing about this outfit, especially the colors. The taupe softens and contrasts the grey beautifully, highlights your lovely&nbsp;hair color, and brings out the warmth of that yummy burgundy jacket!&nbsp;You look&nbsp;absolutely killer, in your stunning&nbsp;Romantic Tomboy way of doing it all :)&nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>I'm absolutely jealous of your hand knit socks. I can knit socks, but they bore me to tears. I usually knit&nbsp;hats and sweaters. But I do love wearing a good pair of handkint socks. I might have to make a pair...&nbsp;</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts#post-1357546 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 16:33:28 +0000 E 1357546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alasse, they do! I remember finding them on the Anthropologie clearance rack in 2009 for $8 and thinking what?! Sweet!. lol<div><br /></div><div>Thank you Diane. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Awww, thnx Beth Ann!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Suz!</div><div><br /></div><div>TexStyle, I’d love to peek into your boxes &amp; vases. I tend to keep my objects on my bookcases, but they do get dusty that way.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thnx AG! I’m happy too, although everyone around me keeps mentioning the polar vortex already.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Anna! As I said to Alasse, it surprises me that they’re 5 years old now.</div><div><br /></div><div>Janet, isn’t fall the best? *happy sigh* It’s teetering between sweater &amp; non-sweater weather here, but coming from south Texas I can get away with slightly warmer dressing.</div><div><br /></div><div>MG, the shorts must have a built in optical illusion if my legs look long! These laces aren’t long enough, but I’ll try that one some of my other boots. I wasn’t sure if a bow tie worked or looked dorky…clearly it’s been awhile since I’ve been able to wear my boots!</div><div><br /></div><div>Angie T, I had to google buckeyes! Sounds like they’re a candy? These are regular chestnuts. Thank you for the compliment.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ornella, thank you so much! I’ve had this jacket since 2008, but it was an orphan for a long time; I’m glad I held onto it, because thanks to the forum I can’t get enough of jackets. I can’t wear my bob in a Texas summer, because even the littlest hint of hair on the back of my neck in that heat drives me nuts. So I put it up instead. I’m glad you approve, as you’re the Queen of Bobs. :D</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Kiwigal! I don’t usually tuck into them, so I’m glad the waist looks good.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thnx Caro! I’m happy to be back in the bob club. :D</div><div><br /></div><div>Joy, you’re too kind. I didn’t know you could wax leaves: I’ll have to try that! Thanks for the idea.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Aubergine! As I often struggle with footwear limitations, it’s nice when they make an outfit instead of detracting. hehe</div><div><br /></div><div>Can’t wait to catch up on what you’ve been up to Shevia! Thank you. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Thnx Gigi! Good to know the taupe works &amp; what a compliment. I’ll have to wear the shorts more often. :D</div><div><br /></div><div>Firecracker, I thought it was funny too, but I really wanted to wear my socks! hehe Thank you for the hair compliment. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Jeanie! I’m excited to be here. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Thnx Astrid! Now we’re sort of hair twins, except you have all that luscious texture. :D</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Karie!</div><div><br /></div><div>Gryffin, no need to apologise: I decided to embrace ‘cute’ instead of fight it several years ago, so thank you! I’m a bob girl too at heart, although I love braids. Your paddock boots sound great: I’ll have to try tucking my laces. And what a nice name “wonder bowl”. I love bringing a seasonal awareness indoors.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Alana! Mine are Frye, although I got them on sale. My other lace up ankle boots are Timberland, but they’re ’sturdier’ looking. I wore shorts in Texas too, so you’ve seen this much of my leg before, just without tights. Funny that the tights somehow draw more attention to the legs, isn’t it?</div><div><br /></div><div>Aww: thank you Angie!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thnx QuietGirl. :)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts#post-1357432 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 14:15:59 +0000 Quietgirl 1357432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So so cute!

Love your outfit and that new bob. Those boots and those socks! I want lace up boots like yours badly!&nbsp;Then oh my, that long, long leg line! Funny we see more of your legs now than we did than when you were in Texas! The jacket is absolutely fabulous. The shirt is OK, we see so little of it, really. I think you hit exactly the right note with it&nbsp;to let everything else shine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts#post-1357318 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 10:26:56 +0000 gryffin 1357318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>E - sorry but you really are cute as a button!!&nbsp; Love this outfit on you!!&nbsp; Flattering, interesting, practical but so elegantly texturally rich..&nbsp; It's just perfect and great socks with the boots!!&nbsp; I'm a "bob" girl so I adore this hairstyle on you, but I thought it lovely longer too!!&nbsp; Lucky girl!!&nbsp; I tuck my laces on my paddock boots but they seem longer than yours and the top has the hooks for easier on and off.&nbsp; Love your plate of "found" objects.&nbsp; We used to have the "wonder bowl" in which rotated the latest treasures!!&nbsp; Such a lovely thing to have...a thing of beauty.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts#post-1357308 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 10:03:03 +0000 Karie 1357308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute!

The tights, shorts, and blazer are great, and the taupe blouse is great with the outfit. It blends nicely with the colors you're wearing, plus your hair. It's so funny that you built the outfit from the socks up! You gotta start somewhere, right? Your haircut is just stunning on you--so chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts#post-1357157 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 02:35:46 +0000 Gigi 1357157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an absolutely lovely silhouette on you! I think it works well with the taupe blouse; I don't know that you need to swap it out for something lighter. I think the colors are fab. And your hair is too cute! I think this is my favorite outfit that you've posted so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts#post-1357125 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 02:00:44 +0000 Jaime 1357125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the boots, the color combination, the shorts, the bobbed hair and lovely to see you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts#post-1357083 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 01:27:58 +0000 Anonymous 1357083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great seeing you and glad you're enjoying the new place and weather!</p> <p>Like the whole look, but those tights and shoes together are my favorite part.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts#post-1357071 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 01:15:26 +0000 Anonymous 1357071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How I've missed your posts! Your hair is wonderful in the bob. I love your outfit for a fall walk and how you displayed your treasures. Wow, a colored leaf already. Do you ever dip them in paraffin melted double boiler style over hot water? They stay and I like to scatter them over a table top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts#post-1356944 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 22:19:48 +0000 Caro in Oz 1356944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous look E.

Gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-shorts#post-1356896 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 21:33:12 +0000 Ornella 1356896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was so looking forward to seeing you in the Autumn WIW and you have treated me to a real delight. The jacket is amazing on you.

Great treasures too - I have an old wooden shallow box that I like to keep found objects in. I put a plexi-glass lid on top to keep out the dust.

I think this outfit looks great. I love to see wool shorts and thick tights and you wear them so well. I don't see any problems with the choice of blouse at all. I like it, and the burgundy jacket is a nice length too. Oh, and I like the 'do' </p>
