Well...as giddy as a 17 year-old male gets - lol!</p> <p>Una - ooohhh, good question. Less than a husband but more than a BF - are they my fiance jeans???</p> <p>Krishnidoux - definitely no wearing of the Docs outside today we're in the beginning stages of a major blizzard, which is supposed to hit pretty hard later tonight. But I have worn my Docs outside in the snow with no problem. I think they're indestructible!</p> <p>Claire, Tina &amp; Thistle - I am so touched that my son would choose such a gift and find it adorable that he went "sleuthing" to get the size.</p> <p>Anna - the word "cool" from you means a WHOLE lot - thank you!</p> <p>Krista - yay for sweater twins!

I have the exact same sweater. I bought mine just before Christmas because I knew I would have lots of opportunities to wear it over the holidays. I love how you've styled it with jeans! Perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815920 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:29:18 +0000 annagybe 815920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I really like this. So cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815913 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:25:11 +0000 Thistle 815913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so good in this! Your son did very well with the sweater! The color is beautiful on you and the fit perfect. How can you not love a gift that shows how much he thinks of you, especially as he even managed to get the correct size. That alone makes the happiness factor off the charts in my book.</p> <p>Like the way you paired the sparkles with the jeans and added a bit of edge with the docs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815894 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:13:24 +0000 Tina 815894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Laura's with all their sparkly, shiny clothes! I was in there before Christmas, gift shopping not me shopping, and I had to exercise much self restraint.<br /> You must be proud of your son for the way he checked your closet, that has got to feel pretty awesome.<br /> The sweater looks gorgeous and comfy at the same time. I like the roll on the jeans and would think it was intentional, adding to the look. Another winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815880 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:01:00 +0000 Anonymous 815880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your son has exquisite taste! I love this outfit and the inspiration from Suz was a wonderful idea. The column of color looks so interesting with the different textures. Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815877 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 23:55:47 +0000 krishnidoux 815877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gees do you wear the slouchy BF well or what. And perfect sweater! It has a fun and lively element that marries well with the jeans. You were right to cuff them, and show the beautiful boots. Did you or would you wear them outside too right now? Just curious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815861 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 23:39:26 +0000 catgirl 815861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab! Look how easily you are styling these jeans! They are something beyond BF jeans but not as boring as a husband - what is the name for THAT? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815781 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 22:43:33 +0000 Deborah 815781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, really cool vibe to this outfit. It looks totally effortless. Your DS gets full marks for his choice. Was he quietly thrilled to see you earring the sweater? I have two pieces of dress Jewellery that Master 9 chose for me by himself and it just makes his day when I swear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815653 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 20:37:53 +0000 kimlee 815653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DS did quite well. The sweater looks heavenly on you. The look is great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815585 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:38:22 +0000 Beth Ann 815585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent in simplicity, with exciting, bold accessories. </p> <p>I hear you on the what happens when they size up the BF's. These are a great balance between fashion forward and comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815575 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:32:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 815575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap - I think there are two reasons I'm happy in these saggy britches. In addition to the crotch not being as dropped in this pair, the legs are slimmer and that was always my discomfort with the Gap BF's. On smaller sized women, the legs in the Gap BF's are slim but when you get up to the waist size that I fit, the legs are now quite wide. Now my larger pair of these Canyon River Blues jeans are definitely dropped crotch and seriously saggy, and strangely enough, my favourite pair. But I feel they are a bit too oversized for the workplace.</p> <p>Angie - so glad you like it! I do confess I feel a bit Princely today. I decided I really these jeans with the cuff and Doc Marcies because it reminds me a bit of James Dean and how he wore his jeans.</p> <p>DS is going to be tickled that you all liked his choice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815552 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:09:42 +0000 Mochi 815552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see how you love this outfit--it's deceptively simple, but with the sum much more than the value of the parts (or however that expression goes). The Marnies and trousers and basic black yet glittery shirt...and the CLUTCH. Oh is that one a beauty, and glams up the whole ensemble. Love this on you, Shannon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815487 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:12:00 +0000 Anonymous 815487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are killing me with those booties, I love them but they look so WRONG on me lol. Looking fab as usual here. I am thinking you are more at ease with these baggy britches because they don't have a dropped crotch. So fab! And DS totally nailed it with the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815463 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:59:13 +0000 Angie 815463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is Urban Prince!

It's funny, when I asked him how he knew the size, he promptly told me he snuck into my closet while I was out one afternoon and checked all the labels of my sweaters to be sure!</p> <p>Relieved to hear the cuff on the jeans isn't a totall miss - you just don't know sometimes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815311 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:33:03 +0000 kellygirl 815311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is perfection!

Love the sparkles. Just the right touch. Fab clutch adds so much. I think the rolled cuff totally works. Fab outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815275 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:15:38 +0000 Suz 815275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - I am so honoured!!! And frankly, I like your version a whole lot better!! That sweater is just gorgeous. Will your son come and give my daughter some mom-shopping lessons? I love how it shows your pretty clavicles and picks up the sparkle in your eyes. What a fab Friday look!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815268 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:10:27 +0000 Day Vies 815268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sparkles -- I can see the inspiration from Suz in your outfit today. I think I have a the same sweater in brown/gold. Anyway I hope you have a sparkly Friday. Love the jeans with the boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815213 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 14:23:28 +0000 Sarah A 815213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great way to that a simple concept (i.e. jeans + black sweater) and make it awesome with the clutch and cuff and sparkle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815211 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 14:21:28 +0000 catherine 815211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing.

Would the phraseology be RATE in that the finished hem length isn't perfect with the boots but with an impromptu cuff roll, voila?</p> <p>DS sure did a nice job with that sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-suz-a-gift-from-ds#post-815156 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 12:39:50 +0000 Anonymous 815156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a hit as far as I can see. You look polished and casual at the same time. The colour of your clutch is lovely and it adds to the whole look.

I love how this sweater feels on and just goes to show that not all acrylic blends are the same. This one has a very luxurious feel to it.</p> <p>Based on Suz's outfit from yesterday, I've paired the sweater with my slouchy skinnies (the smaller of the two pair I have) and my Doc Marcie boots. Normally these jeans would not be cuffed at the bottom but I found the hem of these did not sit well on the Marcie's and in fact the boots pushed the legs of of the jeans up to the point where they were too baggy. I hope the cuff doesn't look ridiculous.</p> <p>I've added a metal and crystal cuff and my olive/cobalt clutch for accessories, and my belt is a simple black leather with gunmetal buckle.</p> <p>Happiness factor in this outfit? Off the charts!</p> <p>What do you think? Does it work? proportions and fit ok? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome. Thanks for the inspiration Suz and thank you for the lovely gift iain!</p> <p>Sweater: Laura Petite (gift)<br /> Jeans: Canyon River Blues<br /> Belt: Danier Leather<br /> Boots: Doc Martens Marcie<br /> Clutch: Trouve </p>
