There's crotch surrender, and leg surrender too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683973 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:48:29 +0000 Deborah 683973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae this is a great look on you. The poncho is great, the length is perfect. I think #2 is just perfection with really good proportions. #1 with the skirt looks good too but #2 is the knock out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683971 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:41:23 +0000 ramya 683971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that Poncho.... Rae it's so nice...</p> <p>And the BF jeans I like them on you guys really do. But I feel my DH wouldn't like them and he is so vocal about stuff he doesn,t like </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683955 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 05:51:58 +0000 rae 683955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>christieanne, you said it about the rules - seems like we are all throwing them out the window these days. I think it helps that the wrists and ankles are exposed here to suggest some slimness. </p> <p>High five, Jeanne! I love that you are a BF fan. </p> <p>Aida, if you have any room for another pair of jeans, I think you'd like these. They are like our baggy shorts, except they happen to cover more leg. I think they might fall in line with your soft dressing, too - so nice and slouchy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683793 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 00:41:24 +0000 Aida 683793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW both of these are amazing, Rae!! That top is incredible on you. It looks awesome in both outfits, but I am particularly fond of how you went with light/nude footwear in #2 because I'm a huge fan of doing the same thing with a dark top :} And @(#&amp; those BF jeans are making me reconsider not going to the GAP and trying them on, even after I'd decided to pass on this jean cut for now! If they work this well for you there's a good chance they will for me too..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683772 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 00:06:48 +0000 Jjsloane 683772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2. But you would have had me at BF jeans anyway. Love the combo (belt, bag...) and I'm afraid if I surrendered my butt noone would be there to accept the surrender. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683709 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 21:40:03 +0000 Beth Ann 683709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm humming the old gospel hymn....."I surrender all...." Sometimes letting go is a very good thing! Love this -- especially #1, but then, I bat for team dressy! Hope your night was wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683615 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 20:02:09 +0000 JR 683615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:o)</p> <p>What else can I say? These are great looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683607 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:51:19 +0000 Anonymous 683607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab looks, clever Rae!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683565 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:50:46 +0000 christieanne 683565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that's how to mix things up! I like the slouchy jeans with the slight volume on top - it is contrary to any rules of form fitting tops but it works. Throw all the rules 9self imposed or otherwise) away and play </p> <p>De-bombshelling the skirt with the top is genius as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683520 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:19:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 683520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both of these looks Rae - and you are making me wanna get my BF's out and about. If only it weren't so darned hot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683514 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:14:58 +0000 rae 683514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about full conversion to big, slouchy tops, but I've been known to visit the church with a friend from time to time. Here's <a href="http://onedollarwonders.lookfab.com/post/wiw-lime-and-turquoise-waist-leg-surrender-diy-striped-bag">another one</a> I wore recently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683513 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:13:34 +0000 Jonesy 683513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved that top when you first got it! It's looking fab with the skirt and the denim! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683497 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:00:45 +0000 catgirl 683497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another SBF convert! I'm wearing mine today (well, one of my pairs!). I absolutely adore both of these looks, as you can imagine. Are you converting to the big slouchy top look a bit now? I think this works with the slouchy jeans because of the tapering - prevents the rectangle look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683477 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:30:13 +0000 rae 683477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La Francaise, if there is a conspiracy, they have succeeded with me! I initially took one look at the rise on these jeans and thought, "Oh, no. Far too manly, even for me." But the cut and drape turned out to all work with the long rise - I can't beleive I so nearly passed them by. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683461 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:06:48 +0000 Anonymous 683461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rae,</p> <p>Both looks are super, but I REALLY like #2!! The tee with it's very wide sleeves provides the balance I'm forever banging on about! And I LOVE that zinging yellow tote!!! It all goes to show that style is never a question of money, but of a good eye, and an even better dose of panache!! YOU, my dear, clearly have bucketloads of that!! GOOD FOR YOU!!, and enjoy the film! :-)</p> <p>BTW, is there a conspiracy here on the YLF boards to FORCE me to like (adopt, even??) boyfriend jeans? It sure feels like it! Worse, it feels like it just might succeed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683395 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:09:10 +0000 Jaime 683395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both ways and also both pairs of boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683393 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:07:30 +0000 rute 683393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like both looks but I'm in love with no. 2! I might have to copy that one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683383 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:58:34 +0000 Debbie 683383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both ourfits especially the boyfriend jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683372 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:53:20 +0000 rae 683372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!</p> <p>Yes, BRB = Be right back. </p> <p>Ceit, yes, these are the Gap SBFs. I love them even more now that I've tried them with the saturated top. :)</p> <p>Diana, I never thought of this as a big tee - even though the sleeves are voluminous, it is really not that big through the body. The opening is also tapered in from the bust. I can see now how it does provide the benefits and vibe of a big tee, but in a way I can handle. Who knew?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683364 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:45:52 +0000 MsMary 683364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aiyeee!!

Especially #2.

It passes the marks for the office and for play! Brilliant!</p> <p>p.s. I dig that wash of denim! So 90s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-surrender#post-683302 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:02:58 +0000 rae 683302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I have a day at the office and then DH and I are meeting for an advanced screening of Total Recall afterward, so I had to bring a change of clothes with me - the office A/C has not been working properly lately, but no way would I survive a cold theater in a skirt and breezy top. </p> <p>Normally, I'd want to wear this waist-surrendering poncho with a slim, tapered skirt - or at least pants fitted to the knee - but I was feeling very loosey goosey this morning. Waist surrender *and* knee surrender won out. Caution: thrown to the wind! Or it would be if there was any semblance of such an airflow in the office today... </p> <p>For the movie, I brought along my new Gap Sexy Boyfriend jeans. Some of you mentioned in Angie's BF jeans blog post that this style hides a perfectly good tush - so I guess I'm adding "butt surrender" to the list for the day. ;)</p> <p>Hinge cowled poncho - flea market<br /> Galaxy skirt - flea market, DIY<br /> Jessica Simpson floral garden bag - Amazon<br /> Fergie Major boots - Nordstrom clearance sale<br /> Nixon wrap watch - flea market<br /> "Raebot" necklace - gift from DH<br /> Gap Sexy BF jeans - Gap sale<br /> Worishofer nude sandals - Goodwill?<br /> Aldo studded belt - flea market </p>
