I have never altered pants before; I just give the offenders away and look for a new one. Good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wool-and-a-bootcut-transformation#post-1081250 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:15:29 +0000 Amy 1081250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merino is lovely, soft wool. Beautiful sweater! Great job with the pants transformation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wool-and-a-bootcut-transformation#post-1081234 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:56:36 +0000 Marmee 1081234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so talented!! The skinnies look great. &nbsp;Good to know about the EF Merino. &nbsp;I cannot wear angora either, because despite its softness against my hand, I find it itchy once I put it on, even with a cami. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wool-and-a-bootcut-transformation#post-1081233 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:53:17 +0000 amiable 1081233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great transformation! &nbsp;And the orange and black look wonderful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wool-and-a-bootcut-transformation#post-1081213 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:12:48 +0000 ClaraT 1081213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow--beautiful orange on you and the skinnies look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wool-and-a-bootcut-transformation#post-1081212 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:12:43 +0000 Word Lily 1081212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merino is super soft, I'm glad you found a wool you like (and I'm not surprised it's merino for the win). Love that orange on you, too! Looks like cord transformation worked well, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wool-and-a-bootcut-transformation#post-1081211 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:11:20 +0000 Anonymous 1081211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That shade of red-orange is lovely on you. I'm wearing a thrifted EF merino wool shell today and finding it non-itchy, especially after washing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wool-and-a-bootcut-transformation#post-1081205 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:06:21 +0000 Sona 1081205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like this shade of&nbsp;orange on you. And isn't it awesome when you find an item you have been looking for that works for you? Glad you tried on EF merino wool and that is a winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wool-and-a-bootcut-transformation#post-1081195 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:45:05 +0000 pastrygirl 1081195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my search for long tops to wear with leggings, I tried on everything under the sun except angora/hair because it makes me sneeze. It turns out that Eileen Fisher merino wool jersey doesn't bother me in the slightest, even against bare skin! I'm quite surprised. I found two boyfriend cardigans at NR -- one in gray (hooray, been looking for this for months) and a bright reddish orange. I LOVE orange but know that different shades don't always love me, so I've passed on a few orange tops lately. I think this one is a good fit for me.</p> <p>I paired it with a VC tube skirt for church, because lately I feel like the tube skirts are a little too va-va-voom on me. The long cardi toned it down.</p> <p>I also finally chopped these gray bootcut cords into skinnies. While gray bootcuts were a workhorse for me a few years ago, this fall I haven't been reaching for this pair I found over the summer. A few weeks ago, I decided I wanted to add gray skinny jeans to my wardrobe. Then I remembered that I'd used <a rel="nofollow" href="http://http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;ved=0CC4QFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.maybematilda.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fturning-bootcut-jeans-into-skinny-jeans.html&amp;ei=Te2AUpe9Be3isATf-YHoDg&amp;usg=AFQjCNFDTnF4t_fE6_hFE0BtI_Q7S-ZOBA&amp;sig2=JgOUxumzXvooYVGT3ma04w&amp;bvm=bv.56146854,d.cWc">this tutorial</a> to turn straights into skinnies last year, and thought I'd try it again with my cords. I'll wear them this week and take photos&nbsp;with better lighting! But this is the gist of it. </p>
