I guess most of us have that evil tape playing in our heads from time to time - so it's good to see that you have proven it wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-992153 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 02:37:30 +0000 Suz 992153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yeah...that happens with some skinnies that are low rise and have a bit of stretch. Such a nuisance.&nbsp;</p> <p>But...um..you look great!&nbsp;</p> <p>A belt is my best friend in these situations.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-992096 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 23:23:12 +0000 rachylou 992096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right?! What is up with that?</p> <p>But I have to tell you, Gaylene and Diane gave me a whole <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-the-serious-search-for-trousers" rel="nofollow">education</a> in the tailoring of pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-992091 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 23:16:13 +0000 froggiebecky 992091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I look like hipster guy in them after about 2 hours--they slide down. I also fail to understand how this pair&nbsp;jeans can be so tight through the hips and calves, yet still give a diaper-butt effect. The engineering principles behind that elude me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-992076 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 22:46:52 +0000 rachylou 992076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look really good in them. Do they fall down or something? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-992059 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 22:09:14 +0000 Lyn D. 992059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find them to be flattering to most, especially for Pretty Pears, 'cause we can layer volume on top as you did here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-992037 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 20:57:54 +0000 Diana 992037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always nice to meet another knitter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-991897 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 14:05:03 +0000 Lisa 991897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in skinnies.&nbsp; It took me a while to adjust my eye to weraing them myself.&nbsp; As a pear shape I felt all they did was accentuate that I'm a pear shape!&nbsp; Finding the right pair can be a challenge.&nbsp; For myself, I actually look at straight legs, because on me they fit like a skinny jeans but aren't skin tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-991824 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 08:57:37 +0000 froggiebecky 991824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!&nbsp;<br />I initially took the picture because I wanted to see if the way I felt they looked&nbsp;was reflected in the camera. I posted it because, as it turns out, it wasn't. Good lesson to learn!</p> <p>Diana, I did not knit the sweater, but a friend of mine did. We did a sweater swap because she has a horrible habit of accidentally knitting sweaters that fit me instead of her. I finally just picked out the pattern. (I knit her one in return) In my next life, I want to be Norah Gaughan.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-991795 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 05:52:23 +0000 Lantana 991795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good that you've realised you can wear skinnies and look good.<br /> Sounds like it's time to find a pair that makes you feel good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-991757 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 03:49:38 +0000 Janet 991757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what made me finally try skinnies? Seeing a picture of Christina Hendricks wearing a pair of them, and wearing them well even though she is not a tiny wisp of a thing. Now I can't imagine my wardrobe without them! I think eventually our eye gets accustomed to seeing ourselves in a new style.</p> <p>Anyway, I think you look great -- what we can see of you. Maybe now it's time to shop for a pair of skinnies you don't hate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-991756 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 03:48:29 +0000 Caro in Oz 991756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done - that's a great thing to do.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-991736 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 03:31:42 +0000 Diana 991736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you for posting! And you look great in the skinnies.</p> <p>Also, did you knit the sweater? I recognize the pattern. =) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-991730 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 03:19:20 +0000 Adelfa 991730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was very brave of you! (Imagining making myself take a picture when I feel I look bad.) You look great in your skinnies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-sat-errands-and-my-lesson-for-the-day#post-991724 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 03:15:53 +0000 froggiebecky 991724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apologies (as usual) for poor picture quality. Wanted to post this WIW as an exercise in learning. Not about photography or the outfit in general, but about those skinnies.<br />&nbsp;I have a love-hate with skinny jeans. I love how they look--on other people. No matter the shape, size, or age of the person, I think they look decent. But when I wear them, the evil tape recording in my head starts playing, listing all the reasons why I don't have the right body for them.&nbsp;</p> <p>So I made myself take the picture, and I'm posting it here (I cut my face off because I don't feel well and can't be bothered smiling for a camera today). And ya know? They don't look half bad. Certainly not as bad as I think they look on me.&nbsp;</p> <p>There's my lesson for the day--if the camera's not lying, then maybe I should be a little more adventurous.&nbsp;</p> <p>I still hate this pair of jeans, though--they don't fit properly. :)&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
