Please help with BF cuff rolls

I posted the WIW for this outfit in this post (http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....de-me-wear) but I wanted a little extra help with the cuffs. In the WIW photo I have the two cuffs at different lengths. Here I'm showing close ups of both lengths; first with the cuff covering the boot and 2nd with an extra roll to show some skin. Do either/or work or is there a preference?

I prefer it with just a little skin showing (so the higher roll). Your WIW looks great!

I like it with the higher roll so that more of the bootie is showing. I think I like this because it emphasizes the narrow part of the boot and makes the jeans look more tapered which I find more flattering.

What Jeanie said. YLF! Sweater is great on you.

I am with the others - I prefer the higher roll with some skin. I couldn't explain it nearly as coherently... I'm just more drawn to that one! You look so great in this!

I prefer the higher roll as well.

I like the higher roll, too. I would also wear them rolled down farther than the lower roll--so that they are falling to where the heel meets sole in back--if they're long enough.

Like this length that Angie is wearing, with boots.

Or here, with pumps.

I much prefer the shorter length!

Both work, and I roll mine to either length, depending on what mood I'm in. But since that comment is no help whatsoever, I'll add that the length I usually roll mine to is the shorter one. And then when I'm in a really funky mood, I'll add a pair of fun socks that peek just above the boot and still allow a little skin to show between that and the cuff.

This is educational for me as I have not figured out BFs yet! Thanks!

I just bought booties! I was trying to decide this for myself the other day wearing them with jeans. Seeing the higher roll on you it looks good, so my vote is for that too.

Rolled I like the higher one here. I would prefer scrunch with full length, but it's a personal choice.

I'm going to say that I like both equally well; they give different vibes, IMO. The shorter roll looks dressier and more conservative to me, whereas the higher roll looks more stylish-chic-casual.

Thanks for this thread...I have some booties that I wore last week, and I rolled my jeans to show just a smidge of skin. I was wondering if that was the best for a short person (I am 5'2" too—I remember your height from the how-tall-are-you thread). Now I know!

I find it hard to judge from the legs only, without seeing the whole outfit. The higher roll looks more current from up close, but is it the best one? The lower roll might look better with the whole outfit, if I base myself on what I can see in pic 2. But I can't say for sure, since I can't see what it actually looks like.
