I love the second outfit best (nice and simple) but the others are great too. I am on 4th day hair - the longer I go between washing the better off it is, weirdly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-and-why-i-didnt-fold-the-laundry#post-1237934 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 18:31:38 +0000 Aida 1237934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on veteranship! Thanks for sharing the process, it was a great read. I like how the final outfit came out. But I LOVE outfit #3 without the jacket, wider shoulders and all. It's too nice out for a jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-and-why-i-didnt-fold-the-laundry#post-1237794 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 16:05:52 +0000 Ledonna N. 1237794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on becoming a veteran </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-and-why-i-didnt-fold-the-laundry#post-1237762 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:38:58 +0000 viva 1237762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the outfits Marmee but where you landed is just fantastic.

Your final outfit and #3/4 are my favorites! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-and-why-i-didnt-fold-the-laundry#post-1237573 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 13:02:10 +0000 pil 1237573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these outfits get a big thumbs up, but I really love 5 the best too. Maybe because of, as others have commented, the contrast between the optic white and the darker jacket. Great metallic flats and your day 2 hair looks nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-and-why-i-didnt-fold-the-laundry#post-1237568 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 12:53:37 +0000 Anonymous 1237568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your final outfit and second day hair look fab.

You look great in all of these, but I especially like #3 (I see no shoulder broadening whatsoever) and the final version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-and-why-i-didnt-fold-the-laundry#post-1237543 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 12:06:14 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1237543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! &nbsp;Suz makes a valid point! &nbsp;Great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-and-why-i-didnt-fold-the-laundry#post-1237527 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 11:49:05 +0000 April 1237527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought your post was going to include a photo of a kitty snoozing on top of a basket of fresh-from-the-dryer unfolded laundry. &nbsp;That's why folding generally goes off the rails at my house. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>Welcome, veteran! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-and-why-i-didnt-fold-the-laundry#post-1237513 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 11:22:57 +0000 Anonymous 1237513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats, and you look super!

You look wonderful in this. I would wear this outfit (in several of its incarnations) in a heartbeat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-and-why-i-didnt-fold-the-laundry#post-1237364 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 04:18:25 +0000 kellygirl 1237364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on becoming a veteran.&nbsp;Your outfit selection&nbsp;sounds like a lot of work but you got it right! I love your final outfit. There is something about optic white that makes everything look fresher--especially with the silver shoes and darker wash jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>Honestly though, I think if I saw the first outfit without the others to compare that I would have liked it just fine too. I do slightly prefer the JCrew jacket in that combo though.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your second day hair is fab! Which reminds me there is a texturizing paste called "Second Day" which I really loved when my hair was shorter. It made your hair feel like it was the second day with out the icky feeling that a second day of no washing&nbsp;gives me. &nbsp;(My hairdresser always tells me that I wash way too often but it is hard to break old habits.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-and-why-i-didnt-fold-the-laundry#post-1237355 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 04:08:16 +0000 Marmee 1237355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This morning&nbsp;I noticed that I'm now a veteran, and I figured that to mark this momentous advancement&nbsp;I should wear something more than the same old boyfriends and a sweater or tee. &nbsp;But I'm a junior veteran, so please keep your expectations low here!</p> <p>I've been thinking about Angie's Trendy Casual Classic Ensemble, and decided to try it with beige jeans instead of black, since we're having a spring heat wave (just over 70 degrees today!) &nbsp;I tried it with a striped sweater, and two different denim jackets, but there was something about the pants that didn't look right to me. &nbsp;I then abandoned the trendy casual look, and&nbsp;tried the sweater&nbsp;without the denim jacket and&nbsp;with white jeans, but&nbsp;the sweater alone broadened my shoulders to much. &nbsp;I ended up exchanging the beige skinnies for&nbsp;oversized white skinnies and switching out the sweater for a tee. &nbsp;Even that didn't look quite right, so I switched out my tan oxfords for silver smoking slippers, and added a silver necklace.</p> <p>1) AG stilt roll ups,&nbsp;Nordstrom Brass Plum denim jacket, V::room sweater, AG belt, Franco Sarto faux oxfords<br />2) Same, but with J Crew denim jacket<br />3) Same sweater with&nbsp;oversized Paige optic white jeans<br />4) #3 with BP jacket<br />5) Final outfit - Paige jeans, J Crew denim jacket and Halogen tee with silver shoes and necklace.</p> <p>All of the trying on and pondering outfits took so long that I ran out of time to fold laundry. &nbsp;It's still there, waiting for me!</p> <p>BTW, this is hair, day 2. &nbsp;All I did was brush it this morning, because I was on my way to work out.</p> <p>Thanks for looking. &nbsp;I'd love to hear your comments and suggestions! </p>
