WIW : I Hemmed My Straight Leg Jeans!

Deborah

Veteran

Hi Ladies,

Spent some time yesterday hemming a couple of pairs of jeans and I am hoping I got the length right.

I wore them here

http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....s-over-top

and they were clearly to long!

So here's today's outfit.

Newly hemmed straight leg jeans
Satin blouse with ruffle detail
Chanel-esque jacket
Suede wedge heels

I did study Angie's posts on ppl so hoping I did ok:)

Hope you are all having a great day
xxx Deborah

I just checked the old thread and this new length looks perfect! Well done .

I'm really liking that textured jacket on you, and the longer length is great with the longer length top underneath -- and, of course, the PPL jeans

These make your legs look a million miles long! Awesome job. Perfect shade for your wardrobe and the fit is spot on.

Looks great! I like that there is just the slightest amount of scrunch.

Thank you all:). I do love these jeans! They are high waisted and extremely comfortable.
Very pleased the length is good as I did cut them!! I like just a little scrunch:). I used Angie's white straight legs as my guide.

PPL perfection, Deborah! May I ask which Angie links you used? I have a pair of straight legs that needs hemming (though they fit a bit more like skinnies - not sure what the ppl is on those).

Such a lovely outfit Deborah and I love the length.

What brand are they? I'm off to the shops to return my straight legs tomorrow and need some recs.

Freckles, I'm in Australia and these were from a store called Crossroads so I'm not really any help to you. I wonder if the Gap (I think) Long and Leans that some of the ladies have might be suitable for you?

Thanks. Spent hours in the Gap today without a decision, went for lunch and then to one of Sveta's favourite stores and scored. Your general style was the inspiration for the outfit I came home with.
