The other one is a very cute little scruffy Jack Russell. When we're out and about, though, Mr Skunky gets all the attention because he's so jaunty and distinctive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab/page/2#post-1757651 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 00:05:22 +0000 minimalist 1757651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mr Skunky is great! I like the tall boots for warmth, too, and as Verdant said, what you're doing is Fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab/page/2#post-1757644 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 23:55:14 +0000 JAileen 1757644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tulle, that's a good idea! I don't know those measurement, but I ought to.</p> <p>Verdant, thanks! I would encourage people to look into it at least. In our area we have about 900 kids in foster care, but only a little over 100 CASAs, so there's definitely a need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab/page/2#post-1757572 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 21:56:07 +0000 verdant 1757572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to thank you for being a CASA. That makes you already fabulous, irregardless of what you wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab/page/2#post-1757482 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 17:03:12 +0000 tulle 1757482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice, and that ruffle-edged cashmere also takes care of the ho-hum-just-a-sweater problem, doesn't it? If that style is short enough for you, and you like ruffles, it could be a good solution.&nbsp; I'm very short in the torso, so when I shop online I keep a list of lengths for tops &amp; dresses in my head:&nbsp; 21" to hipbone, 24" to lower hip, 36" to cover the knee, etc. I'm always on the lookout for tops in the 19-21" zone, but most seem to be 24-25".&nbsp; I'm investing in shorter lengths when I find them, before the high-waist+crop-top trend fades! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab/page/2#post-1756646 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 04:35:55 +0000 JAileen 1756646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celia, thanks! Mr Skunky is a darling, and for me anyway, seeing the tarantula was like finding an Easter egg. I think you're right about trial and error. I erred the other night!</p> <p>Beth Ann, yes, I liked BJ's ideas, but I like yours, too. I have a sleeveless dressy black top, and a black velvet jacket. I bought the jacket with the idea of wearing it with a skirt, but I haven't actually tried it yet. </p> <p>Delurked, sorry. I think the movie is kind of funny, though. </p> <p>Rachy, thanks for your thoughts. I need a shorter sweater, for sure. I have to say, wearing tall boots was probably as warm as three slips and two pairs of stockings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab/page/2#post-1756640 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 04:05:03 +0000 rachylou 1756640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A cropped sweater to show the skirt more and I think you'd be happy...well, with ahem, three layers of slips and double stockings, lol. That's my solution and I'm sticking with it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab/page/2#post-1756633 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 03:40:16 +0000 Anonymous 1756633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen - now you are just trying to give me nightmares! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab#post-1756626 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 03:19:53 +0000 Beth Ann 1756626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love BJ's solution! My thought is a slightly more structured, shorter topper would be terrific. &nbsp;A simple black tee or sleeveless top and a black jacket would be terrific, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab#post-1756620 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 03:13:37 +0000 celia 1756620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are awesome and they look very good with the skirt. It takes some trial and error to come with the perfect length sweater for skirts. The one with the ruffles is a very beautiful one.<br /> And can I just say that I love the photos of the doggy, I don't even mind the tarantula. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab#post-1756612 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 02:44:11 +0000 JAileen 1756612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delurked, have you seen Arachnophobia? That was super creepy! But also funny. We saw this spider at a lake, thankfully.</p> <p>Momo, thanks! CASA is Court Appointed Special Advocate. We speak to the judge on behalf of foster children. The children I was assigned to were never going to be reunited with their mother, and they were at an age where adoption was unlikely. They've been in several foster homes, group homes, and the county's emergency shelter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab#post-1756611 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 02:41:02 +0000 Momo 1756611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the scarf!<br /> What is a CASA? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab#post-1756580 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 01:26:19 +0000 Anonymous 1756580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's less exciting to see spiders like that when they're in or near your house.</p> <p>To put it in perspective, I had to look away often during the movie Ant Man. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab#post-1756569 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 01:01:00 +0000 JAileen 1756569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I'd never seen a tarantula in real life before. Mr Skunky was the one who found it. It was pretty exciting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab#post-1756565 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 00:50:27 +0000 Anonymous 1756565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes! That last picture of Skunky shows us why you would want to wear tall sturdy boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab#post-1756512 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 22:53:45 +0000 JAileen 1756512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BJ, those are some great ideas I wish I had thought of.

Comes in various sleeve lengths &amp; pretty colors, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-didnt-feel-fab#post-1756346 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 19:15:35 +0000 JAileen 1756346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, thanks!
