White picks up your hair beautifully. I also like the camp shirt with sneakers version. Great way to change things up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033633 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 19:14:25 +0000 Helena 2033633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfecto!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033629 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 19:00:34 +0000 Anonymous 2033629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three are 10/10 in my books Everything looks great on you , pant length included . I had to look twice at the pants too - differences in colour is quite remarkable between the photos . I like the Aritzia top so much that I’ve duplicated the look/cut with tops from other brands . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033584 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 14:21:46 +0000 Jessikams 2033584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a camp shirt for summer. And what a great idea to change the waist-tie of the pants to work for you— a side knot, a bow, whatever works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033573 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 13:40:24 +0000 kkards 2033573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wait....All the pants are the exact same?? that's some tricking lighting...<br />love the vneck...pants fit great, but i will say i prefer then with the sneakers...but that's just me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033544 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 08:28:01 +0000 Style Fan 2033544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are great.&nbsp; I love linen for summer.&nbsp; Great V-neck top.&nbsp; I like it tucked in.&nbsp; The shirt is nice too.&nbsp; The term camp shirt is new to me as well.<br />Those sandals are great with the pants. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033531 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 03:46:17 +0000 Suz 2033531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet</b>, I think you'd look fantastic in them but you look fantastic in lots of different kinds of pants and also, summer calls for skirts/ dresses even more where you live than in my climate! Thanks for approving the V neck. It's a nice switch for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Yes, <b>Joy </b>-- linen is so great for summer. And those are the exact same pants -- just in different light!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033529 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 03:44:12 +0000 Suz 2033529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Rachylou,</b> I completely agree, and my next purchase may be a platform sandal. I am loving the 70s vibe of it. :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Karen</b>, I like the sandals, too, but the sneakers felt surprisingly good in the store with the casual shirt.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jenni </b>-- it's the store lighting. It yellowed the tones a bit in the last photo -- that was the dressing room try-on pic. And thanks for enabling!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Brooklyn, </b>what a good observation and I think you are dead right. It is partly because I have a long head/ face that a V neck can be problematic, and partly the small bust issue, and partly the short legs issue. Wearing highwaisted pants solves at least the last problem!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Cardiff Girl </b>-- it's basically just a short sleeve button front shirt -- I guess it's called that because kids in American camps wore them in summer? I'm not sure. I never called it that growing up, but that is what they seem to be called nowadays.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sal,</b> thanks -- and yes -- I have tried them with a bunch of tucked tops and all work well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sarah -- you are so sweet! :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie -</b>- that is a really interesting point! I hadn't thought of it that way but I see what you are saying. They have some drape but also structure.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>AJ</b>, thank you! So nice to see you back!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033512 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 01:19:15 +0000 Janet 2033512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it all looks great on you, even the pant length, and I don’t see a thing wrong with a v neck on you! I like that Zara linen shirt too. Enjoy your new pieces!</p> <p>I tried some wide leg crops from Anthro but decided not to keep them. Somehow at home they didn’t appeal to me as much as they did in store (that happens to me a lot). But I think I have enough summer silhouettes anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033509 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 01:09:27 +0000 Anonymous 2033509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those wide linen trousers and the ones you wore shopping. The V-neok looks refreshing for summer. I had forgotten about linen camp shirts. I used to live in them in summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033508 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 00:52:54 +0000 Sal 2033508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pants with the shirt and sneakers too. Cheeky modern look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033503 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 00:04:09 +0000 rachylou 2033503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great! Good shoes to go with. I feel a skimpy shoe wouldn’t work as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033501 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 23:51:19 +0000 karen13 2033501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants look great with the sandals. Cool and breezy. The sneaks look good to, I just prefer the sandals. Looks great with the Vneck. Interesting thoughts about structure. I have been loving the wider long pants currently available - perhaps I will soon follow you into cropped territory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033500 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 23:35:20 +0000 sarah 2033500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks fantastic, Suz. You have a real knack for finding clothes that work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033497 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 22:53:19 +0000 Jenni NZ 2033497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it the same pants in all 5 pics? The colour looks way different in pic 5 on my phone screen? Length looks great. I understand what you mean about secretly feeling bored with the same silhouettes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033496 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 22:51:52 +0000 Cardiff girl 2033496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the v neck on you,it looks great with the trousers and the camp shirt works as well(I am not familiar with the term Camp shirt).Its fun to try a different silhouette so go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033495 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 22:51:04 +0000 Sal 2033495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pants and the top. Fun to experiment. I see lots of tops working with these pants tucked. </p> <p>I really the denim jacket over the outfit but am not sure about the scarf. I feel it detracts from the avante garde aspect- I do like it with the top but not the pants. I could see a necklace though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033493 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 22:43:56 +0000 Brooklyn 2033493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants look great. And the V neck top too. I have the same issue with v necks. I wonder if the visuals are better on the v neck here because you are wearing a high waist and tucking the top in (as opposed to wearing a long, untucked top). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033491 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 22:37:28 +0000 Angie 2033491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER, <b>Suz</b>. How fun! We might have to crown you Queen Wide Crop, and you can wave to <b>La Ped</b>.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is <i>YOUR</i> avant-garde and architectural drape. Th length looks great. 2 to 3 inches above ankle bone. These look 2 inches. Perfect with the shoes.</p> <p>Hair is looking SUBLIME.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033485 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 22:21:41 +0000 AJ 2033485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The linen pants are fun!&nbsp; I'm not good with determining the right length so I will leave that up to others.&nbsp; I really like the simplicity of the pants with the sleeveless top and sandals.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-not-blue-purchases-w-question-re-pants-length#post-2033483 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 22:12:52 +0000 Suz 2033483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My family sent me on a returns errand the other day and of course I couldn't resist some actual shopping while I was downtown.&nbsp;</p> <p>After pulling on my ancient tube skirts day after day and saying I was fine with them (while secretly feeling bored) and after looking and looking and then despairing of finding dresses to replace the Boden dresses I fell in love with last year, I felt suddenly overcome with the need to switch up my silhouettes. Oops!&nbsp;</p> <p>So. I bought a few items, below. Plus one that I will show you later on.&nbsp;</p> <p>In Zara, I picked up these linen high waisted trousers. I love them! They remind me of a pair of raw silk gaucho pants I used to own in the 90s. The tie is supposed to be worn in front, I think, as in the dressing room photo, but I often find them fussy that way, so I've made it into a wee knot at the back. I admit they could use a steaming but when it comes to linen, I'm at peace with some crease. And they are a sagey-khaki green. I love this tone, but so rarely wear it! (Bonus, it works with blue.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Can I wear at this length? It reminds me of what <b>KM </b>wrote about Japanese trouser length in her recent post. They feel quite okay to me, even with the sneakers? (Last photo from dressing room.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I also bought a V neck top -- the one that <b>Jacquie</b> and <b>LisaP</b> recommended. Am I nuts? Ordinarily a V, much as I love it, isn't my best look. But I've gained a bit of weight, which typically makes a V neck work a bit better on me, and this one seems quite structured. I hope it passes muster because I cut the tags. The fabric drapes nicely.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also bought a little linen camp shirt at Zara for a more casual look.&nbsp;</p> <p>Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks!&nbsp; </p>
