And I have probably done it like shown here as this was the way my eyes got pleased at their best:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1405164 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 07:45:47 +0000 Astrid 1405164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Denise, we're not allowed to tuck our pants into booties?! Uh oh. </p> <p>Vicki, it's an interesting concept for sure, although I would think it also depends on the width of the pants etc... That hair styling trick is hilarious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1405160 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 07:19:09 +0000 Jeanie 1405160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Vicki! &nbsp;there is a lot more to this cuffing thing than it appears. &nbsp;Who knew! &nbsp;It's great to learn these little tricks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1405159 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 07:16:42 +0000 CocoLion 1405159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am laughing because I have just now learned that it is <b>not</b> ok to tuck your jeans into your booties,&nbsp;or to pull your jeans over your booties. &nbsp;Which I do all the time, as often as rolling.&nbsp; According to Babble sponsored by Disney. &nbsp;I feel like such a rule breaker! &nbsp;Better than feeling like I'm not with it. &nbsp;;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1405038 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 01:44:25 +0000 Vicki 1405038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely comments, ladies, and I say "roll away" and have fun with it, right? &nbsp;Runcarla, check out Deb's piece with the video and you'll be just fine, no matter how you roll, although I recall they do like a little skin showing. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1405031 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 01:24:27 +0000 Carla 1405031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a rolled cuff. It solved my problem of not having any PPL trousers in my closet! (Just couldn't get the inseam length.) Rolled cuffs and pointy toed flats have become a signiture style. Now I have a wonderful pair of high shaft Chelsea boots and I'm wondering if I can continue with the rolled pants hem trend? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1405027 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 01:16:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1405027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great idea. Now all I need are the ankle strap shoes! It's informative, anyway, even if I can't put it into practice at the moment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1404993 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 00:11:24 +0000 Deb 1404993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I totally agree with cuff size relating to strap size.....and to body size. Proportion and balance are so important to the eye in many areas of design. I notice and love it when others fully understand this aspect of design.<br /> Tucking our lovely locks for warmth is something I do a lot when outside in cold weather....it is surprising how warm our hair keeps us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1404946 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 21:27:17 +0000 Suz 1404946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really interesting. It's a matter of proportion. I think it's quite helpful, actually -- or potentially, at any rate, LOL.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1404907 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 19:58:14 +0000 Sara L. 1404907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting!&nbsp; I'll have to experiment with different shoes and cuffs to see if I agree or not.&nbsp; When my hair was long, I could never have it inside my collar as it would be too itchy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1404905 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 19:50:07 +0000 deb 1404905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure this would work for me,&nbsp;Vicki. I do not wear strappy shoes so I would get too confused.&nbsp;&nbsp;And putting my hair inside my sweater collar would drive me nuts. Inside my coat, yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1404901 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 19:41:35 +0000 Anonymous 1404901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting! The only shoes I have with straps are sandals. They have thin straps so I'll have to play around with thin cuffs next Spring. I can't believe I only started cuffing late last Summer. Always late to the party, lol! Thanks for the links. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1404898 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 19:40:22 +0000 TylerAnne 1404898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's interesting, thanks for sharing it. I don't know if I agree with InStyle's cuffing rule exactly, but I like that it makes the choice of cuff width deliberate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-take-on-how-to-cuff-think-of-strap-width#post-1404893 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 19:34:42 +0000 Vicki 1404893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sister recently gave me a few magazine to read and I've got three more to go ("Elle," "More" and one other). &nbsp;But, when I read Deb's post <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flannel-flurry-and-bootie-roll">here</a>&nbsp;about Carole's link on Inge's "Link Love" about how to cuff your jeans when wearing ankle boots:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/11/13/link-love-staying-warm-in-cold-weather/">http://youlookfab.com/2014/11/.....d-weather/</a></p> <p>I found an article&nbsp;on pumps and cage heels and sandals (see photo 1). &nbsp;It seems "how to cuff" is a topic with lots of opinions&nbsp;and it can go wrong or, at least, not quite right, at times.</p> <p>This very brief article on styling tricks in&nbsp;"InStyle" suggests mirroring your cuff according to the width of the straps on your sandals or heels and using your footwear as a guide. &nbsp;I'm not sure I'm in total agreement here, and I don't really have a variety of strappy shoes in different widths, so I'm passing it along for you to play with&nbsp;when the weather warms up and gets a bit drier, as these are warm weather shoes.</p> <p>I do think Deb's post of Carole's link is more in line with what I'll be doing with my cuffs.</p> <p>Then, when you're done with the cuffs, and since the weather is cold, you may want to try the next "styling trick" of putting your long hair inside your funnel-neck or turtleneck sweater!</p> </p>
