I must admit, not being able to wear my beloved jeans is really making me think outside the box with my outfits. Which isn't a bad thing. Too often I would purchase something non-jeans (dress, skirt, etc) because I'd WANT to mix up my jeans looks but then I would never really wear them. Now I am forced to mix outfits that are non jeans.</p> <p>Bella-Thanks! The best part about the dress in #3, is it is machine washable. A feature I do not see often with dresses. I don't have a cast, just the velcro black boot. My issue has been a swollen foot. Heavy materials rub too much on the raw foot and/or my foot is literally too big and puffy to squeeze into the narrow opening bottoms such as skinny jeans. I'm not sure how soon the swelling goes down. It's a year long healing process, although the more intensive healing is in the first 3 months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445464 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 23:14:45 +0000 bella 445464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa - you are doing a fantastic job dressing around your injury! I don't think I would be able to put together so many different outfits without my jeans, particularly skinny jeans!<br /> I love the dress in #3 and that purple is a wonderful color for you!<br /> I hope your leg is doing better. When is the cast coming off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445415 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 21:35:59 +0000 Heather 445415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, brilliant revelations on your closet and these outfits are awesome. I love that you are getting out of your style comfort zone while in a physically uncomfortable situation. You rock non-denim and un-blue! More well wishes for speedy recovery. &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445369 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 20:49:49 +0000 Lisa 445369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet-Thanks!</p> <p>Cjh-Thanks! I will always be a jeans girl but I plan to add other bottoms to my wardrobe in the future for some variety.</p> <p>Cobaltblue and CocoLion-Thanks!</p> <p>Annagybe-Thanks! The belt in #3 with the silver circle closure reminds me a tiny bit of your harness.</p> <p>Transcona Shannon-Thanks! The blazer in #4 is one of the brightest clothing items I own. :)</p> <p>Makrame-Thanks! I hope to add more red to my wardrobe in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445368 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 20:42:10 +0000 Lisa 445368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kellygirl-Thanks! I really wanted to try the poncho/cape trend and it was a challenge to find one that did not swallow up my frame.</p> <p>Suz-Thanks! My wardrobe is full of neutrals, maybe too many! Certainly in grey at least. :)</p> <p>Modgrl-Thanks! Colored jeans is a great idea! I've seen some neat printed one's lately too, I'll have to check these out. </p> <p>Deborah-Thanks! It is very tempting to wear casual clothes, such as my sweatpants, everyday. It's been a challenge to "dress up."</p> <p>Sarah and Alicat-Thanks!</p> <p>Lynne-Thanks! I am missing my jeans too. Maybe next week. (fingers crossed)</p> <p>Cacy-Thanks!</p> <p>Queen Mum-Thanks! I am hoping the poncho thingy in #1 works well with skinnies. A month or more from now. :)</p> <p>Carole-Thanks! I am recovering from bunion surgery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445332 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 20:01:54 +0000 Makrame 445332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like all of these, especially #1 and #2. That is a great color on you, and I like the contrast of the voluminous sweater and slim, elongated sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445321 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:39:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 445321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater in #1 - the combination of the volume in the body coupled with the tighter fit on the lower sleeves gives it some edge. And the colour of the jacket in #4 is beautiful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445316 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:30:41 +0000 annagybe 445316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3, then #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445313 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:28:27 +0000 CocoLion 445313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love love love #2 and #4 Lisa! Very striking top in #1 as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445308 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:17:34 +0000 cobaltblue 445308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is number 3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445180 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 15:57:44 +0000 cjh 445180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these outfits. You look great! My fave is #2 - great print top! I'm not so sure about #3 - it looks too plain to me, but then I go for more accessories as a rule. I do LOVE those cargos in #5 - very flattering fit!</p> <p>You may have to give up jeans altogether since your outfits are great without them, but I do hope your foot is recovered soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445170 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 15:01:29 +0000 Scarlet 445170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That fuchsia pullover is stunning on you! You do a great job of staying stylish with a boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445167 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 14:57:52 +0000 Carole 445167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so polished and put together for someone recovering from surgery. All the outfits are great but I'm really liking 1, that sweater is gorgeous on you and 2 is so flattering, look at your tiny little waist!</p> <p>What type foot surgery did you have? I hope you are healing fast and not having too much discomfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445160 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 14:43:58 +0000 Queen Mum 445160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you're doing a great job dressing in style while you continue to recover. That raspberry sweater is such a great color adn looks so cozy. Can't wait to see it with your great fitting jeans!<br /> I really like 2 and 3 also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445157 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 14:40:27 +0000 Cacy 445157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All are beautiful!<br /> #3 is my favorite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445127 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 13:32:35 +0000 Lynne 445127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, well done dressing around that foot! These all look fab, but I AM missing your great denim looks. Well done for branching out and using the rest of your wardrobe. You look great :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445120 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 13:13:46 +0000 Anonymous 445120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not many women could look this great while recuperating! Fab job. I especially love the top in #2 on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445087 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 11:45:38 +0000 sarah 445087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to handle a setback with style, Lisa! You look so GREAT in raspberry and lavender. I really love those colors on you. That new cowl is terrific, and I love #4 with the stripes and the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-445060 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 10:44:06 +0000 Deborah 445060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great. I am very impressed with your recovery wardrobe:). A lot more variety than mine when I had surgery last year:). I think you are very on trend with your sweater in#1... I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-444919 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 01:52:31 +0000 modgrl 444919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well at least it's an interesting exercise in how to stretch your wardrobe. I really like that rose poncho thingy on you. I'm still not totally sold on this silhouette for me but I'm enjoying it on others and it is definitely growing on me. How about some colored jeans? Black, gray, brown, red, wine, even cobalt would be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-444890 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 01:08:05 +0000 Suz 444890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fascinating (though unwanted!) experiment in stretching your closet! I hope you heal soon. </p> <p>Love the blazer in #4 and I'm also found of the play of neutrals in #2. Lovely waist definition going on there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-444883 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 00:59:35 +0000 kellygirl 444883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the poncho sweater in --its voluminous but drapey and the color is delish on you. I also really love the blazer in 4. These colors really pop against the blues and neutrals. Your style certainly hasn't suffered during your recovery! Great weekend outfit--I'd totally wear that : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jeans-free#post-444879 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 00:52:56 +0000 Lisa 444879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Here are some recent outfits. Still no jeans while my foot heals. Maybe next week I will finally squeeze a bootcut pair over my foot. :)</p> <p>#1-NYC Sweater<br /> Or maybe it's a poncho? I picked up the sweater during the YLF NYC fashion week gathering. It's nice to have something with a little color in my closet since I wear a lot of blues, or lately, greys and blacks.</p> <p>#2-Grey and Black<br /> These grey trousers were in the donate pile until my foot surgery. They have been essential these past few weeks with the wider legs.</p> <p>#3-Tan and Grey<br /> I really own a lot of grey. It must be the second biggest color in my closet after blue since I own lots of jeans.</p> <p>#4-No Grey<br /> These black trousers (also in #1) were another donate bag item. They are too short but go over my foot so for now, I'll keep wearing them. </p> <p>#5-Weekend<br /> This outfit felt a little plain. But wth hubby's help I was able to slip on these cargo pants. The lightweight material is helpful. Although I am starting to freeze as our weather continues to cool down. (60sF lately)</p> <p>Thanks for looking!</p> <p>Sidenote: One thing recovering from surgery has taught me, is to have more variety in my closet. I own over a dozen pairs of jeans and only two are hemmed for flats or sneakers. And half of them are straight legs or skinnies. None of which I can wear right now. If I didn't have skirts, dresses and wider leg trousers, I'd be sunk! Once I am healed up, I plan to add more variety into my closet with both bottoms and colors. The other observation I had was how much blue I typically wear and now I barely wear any. All my skirts/dresses/trousers are black or grey! </p> <p>Outfits:</p> <p>#1-NYC Sweater<br /> Sweater-Nordstrom Rack, Black Trousers-Marshall's, Black Converse</p> <p>#2-Grey and Black<br /> Black Cardigan-Esprit, Top-AT, Trousers-JCrew 'City Fit', Black Converse</p> <p>#3-Tan and Grey<br /> Cardigan-AT, Dress-Gap, Belt-Macy's, Tank-Halogen, Black Converse</p> <p>#4-No Grey<br /> Purple Blazer-Zara, Striped Top-JCrew, Black Trousers-Marshall's, Black Converse</p> <p>#5-Weekend<br /> White Top-JCrew, Cargo pants-AT, Tank-Caslon, Turquoise Converse </p>
