Here's a few recent diys - do you think they work?

#1 I picked up a second pair of white jeans, finally. And I immediately planned to taper them (they're bootcut). But then I saw Ornella's white jeans, with a similar cut, and loved them. So I'm debating on whether to taper them after all. Right now these are just basted, so it can go either way. Would they get too dirty if I left them bootcut? Is the shape of one better than the other (the tapered will lie a bit better when they're actually cut and finished)

#2 I painted my bronze sandals silver. Does the new color work? I can certainly paint them again

#3 I shortened my green capris into shorts, after putting a hole in them trying to undo the seam to taper them. Is the length good, or should they go shorter?

#4 I was given these red cropped pants. They're a bright tomato red, and I like them, but wonder about the length. What's a good length for these?

On all of these, left is original, right is altered, or proposed alteration.
