Re the BF jeans, mine can practically slide right off, and yet they don't look very loose at all in photos. I think wearing them without boots will help - try them rolled at the ankles and with pumps or sneaks - that in itself will give them more of a BF look. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-901309 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 12:47:43 +0000 Tanya 901309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you very much ladies! &nbsp;It was fun to build outfits around new items.<br />Sadly, I can not take the sweater back, Express won't accept returns on worn items. &nbsp;I have used the sweater comb to de-fuzz the area. &nbsp;I will probably wear the sweater a couple of more times, and if it looks bad by the end of the season toss it.<br />About the jeans, they are quite loose - I would guess about two sizes bigger than normal fit skinnies. I did use a belt, they slide down my hips a lot without it. &nbsp;They&nbsp;probably&nbsp;wouldn't fall off, but you never know. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900760 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 18:14:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 900760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tanya - you always look completely flawless IMO. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900714 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 17:13:02 +0000 annagybe 900714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's too bad about the sweater in #1 because it looks really cool. Also like #3. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900679 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 16:38:58 +0000 hedgiehog 900679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tanya, you did really well! Sorry about the sweater....hope you can take it back. I like 2, 3, 7 and 8 the best. Great week! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900666 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 16:19:23 +0000 Angie 900666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tanya, you have KILLER style and always look at least a 10 out of 10. Often more than that :)<br /><br />I LOVE #4 especially because it's a very new look for you. Unstructured Structure!&nbsp;<br /><br />I'm glad you were able to shop a little to refresh your wardrobe. I know how much you enjoy it so it makes my heart happy.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900576 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:28:49 +0000 Anonymous 900576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think these are all fab looks. Love your interpretation of Angies look in 6/7 and you look amazingly tall and slender in 1, gorgeous! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900555 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:41:18 +0000 Ingunn 900555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A number of great outfits! I really like #6/7 and #8 in particular. The tucking works fine IMHO. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900504 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 07:21:00 +0000 goldenpig 900504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love all of these! You look so sleek! My favorite is #2. And cool silver sneakers!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900391 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 04:03:39 +0000 Debbie 900391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You had a great week! I love your new things. Those mint jeans look wonderful on you. Can you take the sweater back? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900368 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 03:19:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 900368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A week's worth of great outfits! Congratulations on your new finds. I especially adore outfit 8 on you, and those sneaks are very cool. The Express sweater looks fab on you, too, over those gray skinnies--the sweater back detail is neat. I may have to try to copy it.<br />The jeans in 6-7 look like BF jeans in the leg, but I agree it's hard to tell in the photos. They don't look quite slouchy enough in the hip area, but if they're roomy there, then they probably ARE a boyfriend fit. I might like them better worn over the boots--I kind of like skinnier legs tucked into boots myself. But it's just a preference, not as if these looser jeans tucked-in are a faux-pas look to me. <br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900363 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 03:02:59 +0000 Ariadne 900363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look great, Tanya! &nbsp;Very current and sleek. &nbsp;My favourite look is #1. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900352 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:49:01 +0000 merwoman 900352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You wear clothes so beautifully! My fav look is #2 -&nbsp;as I have a weakness for b&amp;w. Express sweater is gorgeous - and I love the back detail.<br />Not sure if the jeans are loos enough to be considered BFs - but others have noted that pants often appear tighter in photos than they are IRL. Do you find them loose? Do you need a belt to hold them up?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900319 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:12:07 +0000 Suz 900319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love #1, Tanya. You look so long and lean!&nbsp;<br /><br />And it's great you got some new essentials. Sorry about the pilling sweater, though.&nbsp;<br /><br />I thought I recognized look 6/7!! Fun interpretation. I am not sure the jeans are loose enough to to boyfriends but they are a bit baggy, for sure. I think it works tucking them, and for some reason they look looser when the coat is over part of them. Interesting.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5---a-week-of-work-outfits-with-bunch-of-new-stuff#post-900308 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:02:00 +0000 Tanya 900308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have done bunch of shopping in the past two weeks, but I have spent very little money, courtesy of some generous gift cards I had since Christmas (VS and Express). &nbsp;I used to shop there a lot, so my friends still think those are my favorite places, even thought that has changed. &nbsp;Nevertheless, I was able to find a bunch of things I needed, mostly tops, to update my old wardrobe.&nbsp;Both places had bunch of promotions and coupons, so I have pounced. &nbsp;I got a couple of silk tops/blouses from VS, and you can see one of them, a silk tee, in #5. &nbsp;From Express I got mint skinnies (outfit #5), three spring sweaters ( first three outfits), and a bunch of layering tops, mostly slouchy tees. &nbsp;Sadly, sweater in #1 turned out to be really bad quality, as it pilled a lot on the left hip where my bag has been rubbing against it.<br /><br />#1&amp;2- Monday: New Express striped tunic sweater, tuxedo Rag&amp;Bone skinnies, black leather KC jacket, black Aerosoles booties, black Joe's Jeans bag<br />#3-Tuesday: new Express mint sweater, old blush silk Express blouse, cream 7FAMK skinnies, stone Everybody oxfords, worn for the first time, and luckily, plenty comfy despite being very flat<br />#4&amp;5-Wednesday: new Express blush sweater (pic #5 is the stock photo of the cool back detail), grey R&amp;S skinnies, taupe Report boots<br />#6&amp;7-Thursday: a copycat of one of Angie's outfits from Earlier in the year. I have two questions regarding this one: &nbsp;Does the tucking of jeans into these short boots work and are jeans loose enough to be considered BF-esue or not quite? &nbsp;<br />Striped turtleneck is by&nbsp;J Crew, BR gingham shirt, Rock&amp;Republic tuxedo skinnies, Frye taupe boots, H&amp;M navy coat and blush Hype bag<br />#8-Friday: Gap charcoal Academy blazer, new Express mint skinnies and VS striped silk tee, Ash silver wedge sneakers<br /><br />As always, all the feedback and comments are more than welcome!<br /><br />
