Or I wear the vamps of my booties higher. I also wear knee-highs when it's a little milder so that you can't see socks. It's not a bad look at all - to showcase your socks. In fact, it <i>can</i> be quite fun and quirky.&nbsp;It's just not <i>my</i> look. I hope that makes sense. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-has-your-poison-eye-changed#post-1378649 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 23:43:19 +0000 Anonymous 1378649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggle with this one a bit too Lynn, and wondered what about the look could veer off in the "wrong' direction. &nbsp;I happen to like cropped or ankle length pants with pumps, so Angie's linked examples above were really helpful. &nbsp;I think I see now what can be improved from my end .....</p> <p>Thanks for opening up this conversation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-has-your-poison-eye-changed#post-1378647 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 23:36:51 +0000 lynn 1378647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie! In one of these posts you listed, you said you didn't like your socks to show. That must mean that you don't do this in colder weather since you run so cold. I have new cognac flat Frye booties and want to wear them all winter. Hopefully I can tuck jeans into them in cold weather. I hope that look is still ok? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-has-your-poison-eye-changed#post-1378621 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 22:20:55 +0000 Angie 1378621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a very complicated relationship with cropped pants, Lynn. I still have poison eye for a very particular cropped pants&nbsp;look. Like this with the low vamped pumps:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/pants/Straight/PRDOVR~B1456/B1456.jsp">https://www.jcrew.com/womens_c...../B1456.jsp</a></p> <p>Or this:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/pants/Straight/PRDOVR~B1220/B1220.jsp">https://www.jcrew.com/womens_c...../B1220.jsp</a></p> <p>I like this version more because the pants are shorter:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-leather-tab-pintuck-crop-trousers/3909807?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=255&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-5_2_D">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....search-per</a></p> <p>I love the look when the cropped&nbsp;pants are tapered at the hems and the footwear is self colour and high vamped.

You can further&nbsp;adjust the roll and the length of the shaft of the bootie to create&nbsp;more flatting proportions.&nbsp;</p> <p>All the pictures in these posts work to my eye - otherwise I wouldn't have posted them:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/03/12/footwear-with-rolled-boyfriend-jeans/">http://youlookfab.com/2014/03/.....end-jeans/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/09/18/taller-ankle-booties-with-boyfriend-jeans/">http://youlookfab.com/2014/09/.....end-jeans/</a></p> <p>I like the tapered legs in this post a lot more than the wider legs, but the self colour high vamped heeled&nbsp;bootie REALLY helps elongate the leg line:</p> <p><b></b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/09/24/pair-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties/">http://youlookfab.com/2014/09/.....k-booties/</a></p> <p>Hope that makes sense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-has-your-poison-eye-changed#post-1378614 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 22:02:12 +0000 lynn 1378614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I am curious if your poison eye has changed on the subject of pant lengths, particularly in regard to ankle length pants with booties. I haven't worn this silhouette yet and am not sure I will be comfortable with rolled jeans and booties. Do I let skin show when seated or can socks make an appearance? Anyone is welcome to chime in here.<br /> Thanks! </p>
