I don't think I have any. I go home and put on an outfit suitable for walking the dog in (which on a good day involves keeping on what I just wore to the gym) and then wear that till I change into pjs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-that-worked-better-before#post-1015302 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 00:24:49 +0000 Beth Ann 1015302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the lower waist might work with a woven, more structured top, but it's a far less versatile choice to make.&nbsp; Taking it in, if you love it, will make it quite wearable, I think!</p> <p>Glad to see you playing with outfits!&nbsp; I just tried on about 1/2 of my loungewear.&nbsp; I'm upgrading what I wear at home.&nbsp; It has to be supremely comfy, of course, but only in fits and colors that make me look good and bring me pleasure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-that-worked-better-before#post-1015148 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 21:27:19 +0000 Adelfa 1015148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poor Rachy. Did your butt go away, or are the pants just generally droopy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-that-worked-better-before#post-1015143 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 21:24:55 +0000 rachylou 1015143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All my pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-that-worked-better-before#post-1015134 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 21:17:34 +0000 Adelfa 1015134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, Sarah, and Astrid, I think I've spent most of my life with most of my clothes not fitting, so I'm only beginning to learn some of this!</p> <p>Lisa and Suz, I think I might get it altered because I do love it. It was very inexpensive at H&amp;M, but it's holding together well and just might be worth it to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-that-worked-better-before#post-1015126 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 21:12:22 +0000 Suz 1015126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes. When I lost weight, I lost so much that I had to get a new wardrobe. But even <b>styles</b> that I used to love suddenly looked dumpy and frumpy. I was sad because I had to stop wearing wrap dresses. But after a bit of head-scratching and tooth gnashing,&nbsp;&nbsp;I just moved on to tube skirts. There's something that looks great on Every Body! Sometimes we just have to work to find it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Cute skirt, by the way. No wonder the happiness factor was high back then. If you still adore it, maybe you could get it taken in?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-that-worked-better-before#post-1015094 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 20:46:09 +0000 Lisa 1015094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always get waistbands taken in.&nbsp; If they stretch out over time or I loose weight, I usually donate the jeans because I prefer most styles sans belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-that-worked-better-before#post-1014949 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:08:01 +0000 Astrid 1014949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Thistle, ill fitting clothes look always off. I mostly noticed my lost weight with one of my BF jeans - they were of course a bit too big in any case and loosing some weight meant that I was swimming in them and didn't feel comfortable anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-that-worked-better-before#post-1014947 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:05:57 +0000 Sara L. 1014947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirt lengths can be tricky since some styles can move up and down the torso.&nbsp; Sometimes mine even change the same day if I've had a big lunch.&nbsp; Maybe you can take in the waist so it sits at the right place on your torso again? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-that-worked-better-before#post-1014946 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:01:13 +0000 Thistle 1014946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific!</p> <p>Clothes have to fit who you are and your size today. Ill fitting clothes, whatever your size, never look as nice as porperly fitting ones&nbsp; :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-that-worked-better-before#post-1014939 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 17:58:40 +0000 Adelfa 1014939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was surprised at how dowdy I felt in this, because the skirt had a high happiness factor in 2011 and 2012. When I came home I realized that due to weight loss the skirt is riding quite a bit lower which means that my waist is lost and the length is dumpier. Hiking it up solved everything. </p> <p>Do you have anything that looked prettier when you were heavier? </p>
