Angie's blog post on creating a long leg line with cropped pants motivated me to start working on the violators in my closet. http://youlookfab.com/2011/06/.....ped-pants/

These suit separates have been sitting in my closet for several years unworn. I'm not sure if its the "matchy-matchy" jacket and pants, the weird pant length, the shape of my legs, and/or the jacket is too long and outdated that prevents me from feeling good about wearing it. I am 5'2, short waisted, muscular legs.

#1-right leg is how the hem looks now/left leg is tapered with paper clips
#2-both legs tapered with paper clips, hem is at ankle
#3-both legs rolled up to end under my calf

Do the pants need to find a new home or be tailored?
Does the jacket need to find a new home or can I salvage it?
Do the pants and jacket need to be broken up?

Jacket and pants-Panticular seersucker (white with random blue stripes)

Tan Sandals-Franco Sarto "Luna"
Gold chain w/ pendant-Susan Shaw Designs
