I think the footwear works really well. Your other outfits look good but I agree #1 is a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rate-white-and-others#post-1480398 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 10:04:36 +0000 Staysfit 1480398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the white jeans look the best. I wouldn't mind a small stain. However, This post reminded me of something my DD said she would do. I have a pair of white jeans where the entire pocket turned neon yellow! It didn't wash out, and I have no idea what it is. In any case, we had the idea to have her wear the jeans while she paints for a few weeks. Instant splatter painted pants and authentic also. She gets paint on everything she wears. I figure it will look deliberate, distract from the weird yellow pocket, and they will be unique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rate-white-and-others#post-1480310 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 02:27:30 +0000 Jaime 1480310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You made the right decision about the jeans - they look terrific on you. A stain near the hem doesn't really count in my book anyway. I am not sure I can accept lazy as a term for "least hands on time so I can do a million other things at the same time". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rate-white-and-others#post-1480307 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 02:16:27 +0000 amiable 1480307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LBD - I think the difference in what you're seeing is that for two weeks now I've planned my outfits ahead of time, a week at a time, so that I have no decisions to make in the morning. &nbsp;The only day I deviated from it so far was the day I wore the black and blue above - I got up and hated what I'd chosen so much it made me feel angry. &nbsp;So I chose something different. &nbsp;I think I'm happier with the way I dress when I don't make those decisions in the morning! &nbsp;</p> <p>And thank you for all the kind words, everyone! &nbsp;A bleaching-jeans tutorial is coming up soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rate-white-and-others#post-1480301 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 02:02:45 +0000 Windchime 1480301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What stain?

Sort of like how distressed jeans come with whiskering or fading applied at the factory. Adding your own coffee, tomato sauce and red wine stains can just be called My RATE Life Experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rate-white-and-others#post-1480083 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 15:11:22 +0000 kkards 1480083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love that you have no fear of trying new things, and making something better out of something else. love the white jeans, and they look so fab with that sweater!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rate-white-and-others#post-1480077 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 15:07:28 +0000 SandyG 1480077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>'Spotty' white jeans are too too true in real life (and so much easier to find!) &nbsp;I love the way yours fit.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rate-white-and-others#post-1480074 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 15:05:49 +0000 Angie 1480074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH.

I'd love a tutorial.<br /> 1: my favorite of the group. This looks so springtime and reminds me of flowering cherry trees. Repeated washings may continue to lighten the stain, but nothing is noticeable.<br /> 2: a different silhouette for you. The top has interesting details such as the neckline.<br /> 3: the blue top is a fab color on you and I like it with black. The black footwear seems to make it a little heavy, so maybe lighter colored shoes with this one. Do you have shoes that will bookend your new hair color?<br /> I also think black footwear that shows some skin or has other colors with the black would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rate-white-and-others#post-1480016 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 12:58:17 +0000 amiable 1480016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all!</p> <p>Firecracker, I agree - I think the black (perhaps combined with the blue, not sure), is just too heavy for spring and the attitude I have right now. &nbsp;I was trying out a business casual idea, because I have to work on site for a customer one day next week. &nbsp;But this isn't the look. &nbsp;I'll try again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rate-white-and-others#post-1479998 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 12:15:04 +0000 Olivegreen 1479998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally agree about the RATE life. Anyone with kids and animals and no staff would :-)<br /> The pants look good. Chiming in to say that the bright blue top simply screams One Of Your Best Colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rate-white-and-others#post-1479964 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 05:33:08 +0000 Nebraskim 1479964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a well worn pair of sand colored jeans I got at Target several years ago for $2 because they have a weird rust stain near the hem on one of the legs. I figured for $2, I could live with the stain. I like your white top in image 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rate-white-and-others#post-1479959 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 04:52:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1479959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm laughing at your story about white jeans, and that you are going to wear these again to "revel in the RATE ness of [your] life"--ha hah! You should definitely wear them again. They look great! I really like outfit 1 on you. Also like #2 a lot! And #3 is okay, but I think the colors somehow drag you down a bit. I don't know if it's the darkness (black or navy?) or the bright blue. Thanks for sharing your bleaching adventure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rate-white-and-others#post-1479947 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 03:34:02 +0000 amiable 1479947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a spotted history with white jeans (literally). &nbsp;After ruining something like four pair in the past few years, this is my current pair. They have a stain that I can't get out. &nbsp;I didn't see it on these jeans when they were blue, but when I bleached them, a couple small spots turned gray, rather than white.</p> <p>I almost tossed (or cropped) them, but then realized that as ill-fated as white jeans are in my household it was only a short while before they'd be stained anyway, and I could just pretend that I didn't notice. &nbsp;Yes, I'm that RATE.</p> <p>So I wore them. &nbsp;And I liked it. &nbsp;And I didn't notice the stain (it's about two inches above the hem), and I don't think anyone else did either. &nbsp;(It really is fairly faded, but the rest of the jeans are a pretty bright white, and the spot is, well, pale gray).</p> <p>I think I'll wear them again, just to revel in the RATE ness of my life.</p> <p>Bonus, a couple of other mediocre outfits from this week that I haven't posted yet :)</p> <p>All feedback, especially suggestions, welcome! </p>
