I'm indeed running out of pants options, and the weather begins to be annoying. It's heavily snowing (well, heavily for my area - nothing at all for many other parts of the world!) and that will definitely impact my clothing options. </p> <p><b>karen13</b>, thank you very much for your sensible suggestions! I should indeed look for a second way of wearing the olive trousers - all the more that, as I answered to Christina, I'm running out of pants options. </p> <p>Thank you very much, <b>Angie</b>, reading your answers is always very motivating, and it does help me becoming more confident. Thank you very much four your kindness - and also for having created YLF, which is really a wonderful place! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-jeans-challenge-1-2-column-of-color#post-1886627 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 16:57:46 +0000 Angie 1886627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous as always.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-jeans-challenge-1-2-column-of-color#post-1886614 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 16:29:12 +0000 karen13 1886614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these. The trouser cut looks great on you, so your bootcuts might get jealous. Your purses really pull both of these together. Do you have an olive or sage top that you might wear the white jacket and military trousers, or maybe the tan and white striped top you wore early on, with a scarf or purse for a pop of color for later in the week? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-jeans-challenge-1-2-column-of-color#post-1886603 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 16:18:47 +0000 Christina F. 1886603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For what it's worth, these outfits seem as well composed as your usual ones. They're beautiful. So you can definitely put non-jeans into your usual outfit formulas, which is good news. I'm guessing you're running out of pants options already, though, since you seem unsure about the rest of the week? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-jeans-challenge-1-2-column-of-color#post-1886545 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 14:12:25 +0000 Aurore 1886545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Torontogirl </b>and <b>Zibbets</b>, thank you very much for your support! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-jeans-challenge-1-2-column-of-color#post-1886537 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 13:34:03 +0000 Zibbets 1886537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both gorgeous, Aurore! I think the navy column is my favorite because it sets off your hair so beautifully, but the lighter one is fantastic too. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-jeans-challenge-1-2-column-of-color#post-1886525 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 12:27:47 +0000 Helena 1886525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous, Aurore! The gray top is so pretty, and the column of navy is chic perfection. Two gorgeous outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-jeans-challenge-1-2-column-of-color#post-1886489 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 08:18:10 +0000 Aurore 1886489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This week I'm following <b>torontogirl</b>'s "no jeans" challenge. To tailor it to my case, the rules I set are the following :<br />  - Challenge runs for the&nbsp;work weak, which means 5 outfits. Very casual workplace, no dress code, and no special meeting or event this week.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />  - Dark wash&nbsp;and black&nbsp;bootcut jeans, my usual outfit staples,&nbsp;are prohibited.<br />  - My olive trousers, whose material is close to denim (thickness and weave), are OK as they feel more like cargos without pockets.<br />  - Since I aim at evaluating how heavily my wardrobe is dependent on jeans, I will avoid re-using tops and toppers for different outfits.</p> <p>As of now I have composed the following outfits. </p> <ul> <li><b>#1</b> : olive trousers, light grey floral tee and a white jacket. I added an elephant necklace, brown booties and my white bag. The colors of this&nbsp;outfit are much lighter than what I'm used to wearing, but&nbsp;I&nbsp;felt very happy with the result. I have the intuition that the white jacket, which I had only worn once before for work, will become a workhorse. </li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>#2</b> : I got inspiration from yesterday's Corporette challenge outfit (introduced by <b>MsMary</b>) and went for a column of color. Navy wide-leg trousers, navy tee, and a sage green blazer. I added a dark floral scarf which may break the column of color, but helps linking navy and sage. I took my blush robot bag and black booties, and&nbsp;I'm feeling happy with this outfit as well.</li> </ul> <p>These outfits seem consistent with my usual silhouette and&nbsp;style moniker GI Princess&nbsp;even if they don't feature my beloved dark wash bootcuts : olive/sage and sturdy booties have a slight military flair, floral prints and light colors are more feminine.&nbsp;But I'm already&nbsp;short on ideas. Next&nbsp;days will be harder! </p> <p>Comments, tips and thoughts are very welcome! Thank you all for reading.</p>
