Cropped pants are not usually flattering because of their length anyway. How about white or cream pants for summer? I wear lots of cute but comfortable flats or low wedges in summer instead of sandals, although I haven't given them up completely yet. Metallics and colors are fun on the feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-245#post-121764 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 03:32:22 +0000 Debbie 121764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wanted to say welcome.

It sounds like you are already into what you know to be your style. You're on the right path. We had a discussion here last week on how some of us feel embarrassed about our old age spots on legs, or the veins that show through. I can only tell my own story about the time I told Angie that I didn't want to wear skirts in the summer being bare leg. She made my confidence strong by saying that in her book, spotted legs are always welcome. I felt so different about my legs. If this lady of such style would accept me at her table or party without noticing my spotted legs, then they were'nt worth worrying about. I'm a changed women. There is so much more to life than the imperfections on legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-245#post-121745 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 02:27:07 +0000 Debora 121745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Groovy, just wanted to say welcome, also!

I feel so self concious in Spring &amp; Fall because I always wear slacks to work while the other ladies over 50 are in crop pants, sandals &amp; no hose. I get weird looks when I wear hose with shorts &amp; crop pants. Also need to hide huge scar on knee. I do put on tanning lotion which helps - some. I can't wear sandals-Must have arch support &amp; feet turn blue anyway. I'm an AVON rep &amp; need to look nice &amp; up with the times for that to. I'm 5'3" 130 lbs &amp; at work need to look very nice. Help-it's a challenge. </p>
