You look a million miles tall </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1024107 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 05:29:32 +0000 rae 1024107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for the flares love - Angie did it first in her bootcut suit!</p> <p>*Waving at Jurocha and Katie* Great to know there are a couple gamers around here. DH and I waited for the XBox release, so we are only about level 20 right now. I chose Demon Hunter - funny enough DH thought to snap a pic of our characters in our gear after each night of play, so I will have a Diablo WIW set someday. Maybe I'll post to the OT, lol.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, I have the circus stripe VC in my cart in petite, but I'm hesitating. I still have my gray/black striped midi that is pilling a smidge but still serviceable for the rest of the hot season. I think I might wait until next spring/summer to replace just to be sure I still love the look and didn't burn out on it by then.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, it makes me smile to hear you say my look is growing up. I've been craving that a little... makes me feel more successful and like I'm in motion instead of stuck where I was out of college. I had your words in my head while browsing a flea market this morning... interesting to choose things from the perspective of "will this discredit me as a fashion 'authority.'"</p> <p>JulieJohn... why have we never added <i>snacks</i> to the mix?? Brilliant. And I cannot wait to see your flares.</p> <p>Denise and Hil, unfortunately the skirt just came OUT of the laundry. I'm sure the dryer baked it in. Will give the suggestions a shot, but I am not hopeful. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023876 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 21:33:18 +0000 Peri 1023876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, now I am extremely happy. No one can tell me that bootcut/flare is dated if the most fantastic Rae is wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023870 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 21:21:50 +0000 shedev 1023870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look really tall in the flares. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023842 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 20:17:41 +0000 Hil 1023842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits, both! Is there no cleaning the skirt? I have found that dishwashing liquid neat on an oil stain sometimes works really well on cleaning an oil stain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023764 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 18:16:36 +0000 CocoLion 1023764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No apologies needed! &nbsp;I love the flare outfit, I think it is fresh and modern, I would never guess $1 pants.</p> <p>LOL midi-gating the heat you are a clever girl! &nbsp;I always love your headlines as well. &nbsp;And is the stain that noticeable? &nbsp;The skirt looks so good on you. &nbsp;Maybe it's time for a loungewear skirt? &nbsp;With a floppy tee? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023742 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 18:00:16 +0000 FlorenceFearne 1023742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At least on my shape,&nbsp;bootcuts/flares look better with flats than skinnies do,&nbsp;hands&nbsp;down. So they're a classic to me. You look amazingly leggy in your pair in #2.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023712 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 17:07:36 +0000 lyn* 1023712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol @ Midi-gating :3</p> <p>I am glad you kept your rose-gold topper. So Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023710 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 17:03:12 +0000 JulieJohn 1023710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tee hee, video games with a lover are a great pastime. Hubs and I recently did a pinball day (virtual), and we played "The Book of Unwritten Tales" which is hilarious. Snacks are always included, which amps the fun.</p> <p>I love you in those flares, inspirational! I was dithering as to whether to try turning some new bootcuts into flares, but you have decided me: flare on! Your hot weather look with skirt and yellow blouse is chic, cool, and pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023673 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 15:56:57 +0000 Janet 1023673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and I will team up to bring back boot cuts! You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023669 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 15:53:42 +0000 donnat 1023669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those flairs, they do make your legs a mile long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023663 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 15:41:33 +0000 MsLuna 1023663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae! As always, you look amazing in both outfits, but I must say, the Flares (#2) are my favourite. You look so tall and the jacket adds an edge to the outfit. Also goes well with your hair </p> <p>Like you, I'm hoping that Flares make a comeback as well. I recently rediscovered flared jeans (the low rise Artist variety from American Eagle) and I've forgotten how tall and slim they make me look. In addition to the look, I found them to be a lot more comfortable than slim pants (I still love slim pants, though), mainly because flares look AMAZING in platforms! My feet are very fussy and I can't wear anything over 2 inches of heel. But I love my heels, and the wearable chunky platforms I like really work with flares!</p> <p>And I'm totally SQUEEING right now after finding out you play Diablo 3. I've taken a long break from it but came back 2 weeks ago when the expansion was announced. I have a paragon lvl 40 DH and paragon 10 wizard. OMG... That made me sound like a total nerdball </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023630 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 14:56:37 +0000 Angie 1023630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving this leg of your style journey, Rae. You are "growing up". It's a good match for your career in the fashion industry. </p> <p>I'm glad you kept the rose gold jacket, and hope you wear it to the wedding. Perhaps it will feel right on the day. </p> <p>The bootcuts look smashingly '70s. Both outfits are an 11 out of 10.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023625 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 14:49:51 +0000 Anonymous 1023625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a shame about the skirt as you look great in it. You look chic and casual at the same time. Won't the mark come out in the wash? <br />I love the flared pants in 2, your legs look a mile long! Shame the weather didn't comply. Save the outfit for another day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023605 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 14:16:09 +0000 pil 1023605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have officialy confirmed that I live in geezertown as I have never heard of Diablo.....on the other hand I love the drape of your yellow top with that gray skirt. Bootcuts and gold +++ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023575 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 13:04:59 +0000 Anonymous 1023575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants look wonderful. You will bring back boot cuts and flares singlehandedly because everyone who sees you wearing these will want some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023568 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 12:29:18 +0000 unfrumped 1023568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your legs are a mile long there! Go bootcuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023567 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 12:28:38 +0000 Suz 1023567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in #2 -- the gold jacket's going to be a winner. And you will get another tube skirt, pronto! In my books, these are necessities and if I lived in your climate I probably wouldn't wear a whole lot else for half the year!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023543 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 10:35:23 +0000 Anonymous 1023543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look with the rose gold jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023527 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 09:09:16 +0000 jurocha 1023527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a pity Look #2 stayed home due the weather... Don't you hate it when the weather don't cooperate with your fashion plans?</p> <p>Ah, have fun with Diablo! It's truly addictive! (Diablo II and Diablo III survivor here... Hehehe)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023503 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 06:53:04 +0000 Lyn D. 1023503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the wide legs with the rose jacket- very elegant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023490 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 05:19:33 +0000 Adelfa 1023490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you look wonderful in the flares! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023478 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 04:50:09 +0000 Beth Ann 1023478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Midi-gating!&nbsp; lol!</p> <p>Love both looks.&nbsp; I'm sorry the grey skirt is done for!&nbsp; I appreciate yellow w/ grey, even though I don't wear it.&nbsp; #2 is amazing, and I hope you get to wear it soon!&nbsp; I'm tired of skinnies, which never suited my body shape anyway, so seeing flares and bootcuts is a fresh change to my eyes --- and I always love my wide legs!</p> <p>Being on scarce on YLF to bond over games with DH?&nbsp; Totally worth it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wiwtw#post-1023467 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 04:05:12 +0000 rae 1023467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 - Worn to DFS today. Midi-gating the heat by rolling the waistband on this gray midi to make it below-the-knee length. Unfortunately I noticed a strange oil-like stain/spot all up one side of the leg today. Not hugely noticeable, thank goodness, but that's the end for this skirt. I wonder if a chapstick got left in the wash?</p> <p>#2 - What I wanted to wear (but was too hot to wear)... $1 Bebe shadow stripe dress pants with rose gold Muubaa. Tried on the pants after washing, and both DH and I really like them. I hope bootcuts and flares do make a comeback, because I honestly did feel much taller and slimmer than normal here. Will have to rely on sparkly jacket for the trend factor until then.&nbsp;</p> <p>PS: I feel bad for posting when I have been so scarce - I think I mentioned before that I am playing Diablo 3 with DH as part of his birthday gift. It is super fun, but it is cutting into my fashion time fo sho! I am coming for a peek here whenever we take a break, lol.&nbsp; </p>
