WIW Without Jeans! - YouLookFab Forum

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
In this thread 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 this post by Angie, 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!

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.

anchie

All great but love the last basic outfit the best.

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.

I am curious now - what is a project 40 ?

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.

Carole

You look amazing, Lisa! 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!

Mirjana

Perfect! I love #1 fantastic print.

lozz_oz

I suspect (correct me if I'm wrong), project 40 is trying to look fab at 40. Don't worry, you're already there!

UmmLila (Lisa)

All very nice -- change is good!

YLF. Isn't it fun to find a change that dorks well?

Dianna

Nice outfits, all of them, but I am with Anchie that the last one is the best (with 1 not far behind)

You look wonderful!

Sal

These are great- my favourite is the last look! You look fit and sassy and comfortable!!

Tanya

Love all of these- you look amazing in them all, and the photography is beautiful. #1 takes the award through, it is smashing and the colors are beautiful.

Suz

You did cut your hair! It looks amazing on you -- and wow, you are branching out in your style like wild -- I love it!!

Amy Isabella

Wow - you look amazing in all of these, especially the first.

April

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.

bella

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!

Anchie-Thanks for asking! In a nutshell, "project 40" is a lifestyle challenge on my blog to enjoy what I've already accomplished and to reach new goals for when I turn 40. I'm an analytical and goal oriented person so this gives me something to work on, helps me to stay accountable, and I can enjoy the progress over time. You can read about it in more detail here.

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 here.

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 my instagram page 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.
