Angie-Thanks!  It's nice to see all the changes pay off, because there's been plenty of times when I've tried new things and it was a complete bust.  :) Carole-Thanks! Check out my reply to Anchie above for a short description of "project 40." Mirjana-Thanks!  I really like the blues I snatched up from White House Black Market earlier in the season. Iozz_oz-Thanks!  And good guess, as they phrase goes, "close but no cigar."  "Project 40" is partly about looking good but it's also about appreciating what's already been done, and it covers multiple areas than just fitness and fashion.  I talk about it on my blog <a rel="nofollow" href="https://shoppingbrake.com/2017/06/29/shopping-brakes-project-40-lifestyle-challenge/">here</a>. UmmLila-Thanks! Joy-Thanks!  And yes, it's nice when a change pays off.  I have had so many times I try something and it was a big fail, so it's nice to see things swing the other way for a change. Dianna-Thanks! Smittie-Thanks! Sal-Thanks!  Outfit #4 has quickly become a favorite this season. Tanya-Thanks!  I'm working hard on trying to improve my photos for WIWs.  It's a learning curve and I am doing it all with my droid turbo, I might put a DSLR camera on my Christmas list this year. Suz-Yes I did cut my hair and it was a big change.  It took me months to get used to it.  I think I still am.  *grins*  I'm all about change lately, why not shake things up a bit, right? AmyIsabella-Thanks! April-Hi!  *waves* I hope you are doing well.  I'm happy to hear that I'm giving you an idea to come up with something new.  I'll be curious what you come up with.  If you adore a t-shirt on the weekends, how about pairing it with flowy skirts instead of shorts for a simple yet fun change? Bella-Thanks, you are very kind!  I've been putting a lot of effort into cleaning up my diet and exercise routine and it's nice to see it finally start to pay off.  I posted a photo from my morning run on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/shopping_brake/">my instagram page</a> and was pretty happy.  And outfit #4 has quickly become my go to outfit when I get home from work, it's just so easy to do. bella on "WIW Without Jeans!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-without-jeans#post-1819573 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 11:05:49 +0000 bella 1819573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lisa - you look incredible! Really toned and fit, quite inspirational!  I like your dress over pants look and I much prefer it sans topper.  #4 is great for a casual weekend!  April on "WIW Without Jeans!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-without-jeans#post-1819566 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 10:49:29 +0000 April 1819566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi, Lisa!   High five -- love the new looks.  You're inspiring me to come up with something new and not revert to my lazy summer ways (jean shorts and tees) this year.   Amy Isabella on "WIW Without Jeans!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-without-jeans#post-1819565 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 10:42:00 +0000 Amy Isabella 1819565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow - you look amazing in all of these, especially the first.

Don't worry, you're already there!

The tunic outfit is so fun (the artist in me loves that shadow in the picture) ! I like the switch up from jeans....it certainly is working for you...great chino outfit! I'm curious about project 40, too! Angie on "WIW Without Jeans!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-without-jeans#post-1819385 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 15:02:48 +0000 Angie 1819385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your style quotient is through the roof this year, Lisa. WOW.  LOVE #1 and #3. Killer x2. I love the way you wear flats. And your hair looks sublime.  anchie on "WIW Without Jeans!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-without-jeans#post-1819381 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 14:56:31 +0000 anchie 1819381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am curious now - what is a project 40 ?  Lisa on "WIW Without Jeans!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-without-jeans#post-1819378 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 14:53:48 +0000 Lisa 1819378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Inge-Thanks!  And yes, going sans jeans is really a big change for me.  Indeed it is fun to try new things sometimes.  And thanks for the comment on my waist line.  I've been working on a little project I've called "project 40" and it's nice to see the hard work is paying off.  :) Anchie-Thanks!  Outfit #3 was a favorite of mine too.   anchie on "WIW Without Jeans!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-without-jeans#post-1819373 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 14:46:50 +0000 anchie 1819373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ All great but love the last basic outfit the best.  Inge on "WIW Without Jeans!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-without-jeans#post-1819371 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 14:44:54 +0000 Inge 1819371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Super fun, Lisa!!! And experimenting with something a little different can feel good, can't it. No jeans, what a surprise;-) I think tunics over dresses work really well, and this one is beautiful!! Perfect with the blue trousers and lacy flats. And longer cardigans are such a great topper for this look Fab blue pants with a striped top, how could I not like this!-) Really loving the last outfit too, Lisa. The belt, necklace and watch add just the right amount of polish, and my word, fab way to show off your slim waist.

Lisa on "WIW Without Jeans!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-without-jeans#post-1819367 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 14:40:48 +0000 Lisa 1819367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi, I seem to be itching to shift my style at the moment because I've noticed that I keep trying out new looks lately.  If this continues it will be very interesting to see what I end up buying at NAS this year. #1 and #2-Swap A Dress For A Tunic <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/swap-a-dress-for-a-tunic">In this thread</a> I was curious if a dress could be swapped for a tunic.  I added 2 tunics at the beginning of the season but haven't actually worn them yet.  Time to get a move on it! #3-Trousers Not Jeans Back in <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2017/02/21/the-trouser-trade-off/">this post by Angie</a>, I commented that I would join in on wearing trousers more often.  I'm trying to focus on doing just that.  :) #4-Just The Basics I wore this outfit running errands over the weekend. I've been a member of YLF for over 7 years and I think this might be the very first WIW I've ever posted without a single pair of jeans in it! Comments/Suggestions are welcomed and thanks for looking!
