I pulled out my capris and Bermudas from winter storage and tried them on with the new silhouettes and my new style goals in mind, and all but two got a resounding "meh" out of me. Some I think I might be able to work with, but seven pairs ended up in the Goodwill bag.</p> <p>Perhaps I will just give up and be Skirt Girl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322844 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 03:29:18 +0000 chewyspaghetti 322844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AE is marketed to juniors, but their sizing is women's (even numbers), and they *did* fit- they just weren't flattering, as was the case with the ones from Nordie's, Express, Target, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322770 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:49:51 +0000 Angie 322770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Precisely. I just looked and they are from the Loft. AE is junior sizing so that might be what they didn't fit. Try the Loft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322759 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:42:12 +0000 chewyspaghetti 322759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let me go look at her thread- I think it was Loft. I tried on a bunch of them last fall- at everywhere from Nordie's to American Eagle, and I never found anything that really worked. I like the way the ones you posted were not skin tight, but tapered in at the ankle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322755 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:35:11 +0000 Angie 322755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I liked those skinnies and said so on the thread. You know I am true to my word and do not blow hot or cold. </p> <p>Khris, get yourself to your shopping destinations and try on cargo skinnies. Where did Teri get hers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322752 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:32:10 +0000 chewyspaghetti 322752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm serious! I keep asking questions about pants, but I am having the same old trouble finding anything flattering. I can't get into all the little tricks and tips to make leg shortening pants work because I can't even find regular pants that are flattering. Look at the comments that my most recent pair of pants got. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322740 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:06:35 +0000 Angie 322740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stop it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322736 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 00:54:53 +0000 chewyspaghetti 322736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need a Pants Primer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322710 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 23:34:30 +0000 Angie 322710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle*</p> <p>I don't mean to laugh, but your comment was hilarious Khris. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322678 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 22:43:37 +0000 chewyspaghetti 322678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really know if lengthening the legline is as important as covering the gigantic abdomen to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322674 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 22:38:21 +0000 Aida 322674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In addition to the tapering, I think they work because the hemline is falls just on (or slightly above) the ankle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322539 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 19:14:07 +0000 chewyspaghetti 322539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is why I hate pants- they are just too much work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322375 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 16:21:41 +0000 Angie 322375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are long pants tapered to the ankle with elastic - like harem pants. They totally work for me with the gladiators on the model. I don't know how this look will translate once you cover the waistband, because then, you shorten the leg line. It's worth experimenting with though. You could keep your top and bottom the same colour for a jumpsuit effect. Many ways to break rules! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322325 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 15:25:38 +0000 modgrl 322325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They don't look cropped to me. This is more of an ankle length. I think it works because even though they are slouchy, they are still slightly tapered. It wouldn't work if they were ankle length and baggy or wide leg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322324 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 15:25:36 +0000 Anonymous 322324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, I have a pair that's similar. Although I think they look better rolled to the knee, I think it's the fact that they are very narrow that's the key to getting away with that length, that and long legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-todays-blog#post-322315 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 15:09:06 +0000 chewyspaghetti 322315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the pants in picture 1 of this morning's blog on casual pants. They are longer for 'cropped' pants, but they are shown with flat sandals. Does that work for you? Is it the extra length and the gathering make it work with nude flats? </p>
