I will keep your inner secret No 2 is fantastic and my how I love your boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-cropped-flares#post-1610530 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 02:53:17 +0000 Beth Ann 1610530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific! &nbsp;Sometimes we have to take a risk and try something new. &nbsp;I agree that slimmer cropped flares would suit better, but the outfit loose relaxed and fun. &nbsp;$2 is amazing -- one of your best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-cropped-flares#post-1610523 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 02:33:43 +0000 Karie 1610523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is great, but I agree with the others, the jeans are too baggy. #2 looks perfect.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-cropped-flares#post-1610503 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 01:29:05 +0000 rachylou 1610503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: I meant the jacket was right WITH the jeans... i.e., I feel the jeans and whole outfit is good... In case that wasn't coming thru. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-cropped-flares#post-1610495 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 00:52:31 +0000 Jjsloane 1610495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are meant to be baggy I think because they fit the waist, but I get that they seem too big now that we're going back to straights and slims. They are a nice lightweight and cool so I'll keep them for summer I think (unless I lose that weight I'd like to)<br />I finally realized why these jeans were difficult to cuff - I think they were supposed to be cropped flares (who knew?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-cropped-flares#post-1610441 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 21:56:56 +0000 approprio 1610441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the loose fit of the jeans. How do they look cuffed?&nbsp;And you look great in orange and green.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-cropped-flares#post-1610421 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 21:08:36 +0000 rachylou 1610421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look good. I know the jeans are baggy a bit in #1, but I think the visual weight of the jacket is right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-cropped-flares#post-1610325 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 17:16:53 +0000 Angie 1610325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is a good attempt, but Jeanne! Those jeans are falling off you! Streamlined on the hips and thighs is the way to go with cropped flares and straights.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is Killer.&nbsp;</p> <p>SO NICE to see you post again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-cropped-flares#post-1610322 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 17:07:14 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1610322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the #2 look a lot -- the jeans look like a better fit, and the color mix is excellent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-cropped-flares#post-1610271 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 14:51:40 +0000 Anonymous 1610271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I actually like the baggy crops on you...you wear them well, IMO.<br />I just wonder if you need to counter it with a tighter fitting top...or some sort of waist-defining top. Ah, yes, a 3/4 length jacket would be perfect.<br />I like #2 as well.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-cropped-flares#post-1610235 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 13:17:16 +0000 Janet 1610235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2! I definitely have an easier time with cuffed narrow jeans than cropped flares -- I suspect our eyes might need to adjust? </p> <p>However, I wonder if a more streamlined jacket in #1 might make the cropped jeans work better. The length looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-cropped-flares#post-1610228 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 13:02:48 +0000 Aquamarine 1610228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I agree, the jeans are too baggy in the thighs in the first picture. Otherwise, the length and outfit really works to my eye. Super cute. I think I may like it better than the second picture, where the rolled, light hem of dark jeans seems more jarring, paired with the blazer. </p> <p>You're tall, if I remember correctly. Keep experimenting because I think you will be able to carry off the cropped hem look very nicely, even the flared hems. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-cropped-flares#post-1610197 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 11:08:33 +0000 Jjsloane 1610197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried the Trend this time. &nbsp;</p> <p>For the 1st one I was in a rush and put this on and had to go out. I felt a little silly because I'm sure folks thought I was a crazy lady who didn't have pants that fit, but it was my inner secret that I was trying to be fashion forward.&nbsp;These are the most cropped flares I have - Cookie Johnsons. I usually wear these rolled in summer. They are a bit baggy so maybe that was what was off? I went with low contrast taupe high shaft booties, but when I walked there was visible leg. Luckily it was 50 degrees here so cold was not an issue.&nbsp;</p> <p>1. Gap turtleneck, Cookie Johnson jeans, Crown Vintage boots, pearl dangle necklace, Burberry jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. More of straight crops with big cuff. Felt a bit less conspicuous. Jeans: Paige (one size up), Top boden, topper BR hacking jacket, turquoise chunky necklace (an ode to pearls), Doc Martens boots</p> <p>I'm not giving up, I have a few more jeans to try so stay tuned.&nbsp;</p> </p>
