You look super hip. And congrats for trying the cropped pants...as a fashion scaredy cat, I haven't gone there yet!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue/page/2#post-1899871 Mon, 19 Mar 2018 10:07:41 +0000 lyn67 1899871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought of you immediately when reading Angie's post and this proved I've been so right! Blues&amp; greys are your colors and&nbsp; black makes a great contrast to them. Scarf ties everything together. As for the NFE pants-all I can say is I think the key is going a&nbsp; bit longer (maybe more of a high water length) with their hem (if possible) and using a bootie which is&nbsp; maybe sleeker(tighter) on your ankle that's all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue/page/2#post-1899724 Sun, 18 Mar 2018 20:46:57 +0000 Sal 1899724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A really nice look - put together very thoughtfully.</p> <p>I am wearing black and light blue today so will try and snap a photo later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue/page/2#post-1899722 Sun, 18 Mar 2018 20:40:58 +0000 The Cat 1899722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These colours are so beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue/page/2#post-1899634 Sun, 18 Mar 2018 03:27:37 +0000 krishnidoux 1899634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did it! How lovely the greys and blues here.

Not bright red, not bright silver, but flattering and fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue/page/2#post-1899497 Sat, 17 Mar 2018 17:07:55 +0000 Staysfit 1899497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I appreciate the leg shortening effect of crops, and can understand your concern. I think you have done a great job of styling yours so the effect is minimized and virtually unnoticeable. Your proportion camouflage is effective. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue/page/2#post-1899496 Sat, 17 Mar 2018 16:59:33 +0000 tulle 1899496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S. Regarding cropped flares, don't you find that the exact degree of flare, in proportion to one's height and body shape, becomes so important, it makes it hard to get them right? Just a touch more flare on these might have pleased you more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue/page/2#post-1899494 Sat, 17 Mar 2018 16:48:29 +0000 tulle 1899494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, Suz, whenever you refer back to the time before you joined this forum, I am amazed that you ever had difficulty with what to wear.&nbsp; You dress yourself like such a pro now, it's wonderful to see.&nbsp; And because I have similar coloring, hair and build, I reap the benefits!&nbsp; This melange of greys and blues is right up my alley.&nbsp; Thanks for the inspiration, as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue/page/2#post-1899485 Sat, 17 Mar 2018 16:15:30 +0000 Jane 1899485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colours are lovely and I really like the cardigan and scarf. </p> <p>I feel the same way as you do about cropped flares. They aren’t for me, and I understand why you don’t feel as great as do in other trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue/page/2#post-1899374 Sat, 17 Mar 2018 04:10:10 +0000 Gigi 1899374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simply amazing!

The whole outfit in fact. Great colours.</p> <p>And commiserations on the -5. We are at 28 today and expecting 37 tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue/page/2#post-1899349 Sat, 17 Mar 2018 01:52:08 +0000 Suz 1899349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, <b>Smittie</b>, I agree -- proportions better with cardigan somehow.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree a bit of skin would help here -- just like scrunched sleeves. But Iwon't be wearing these particular pants with an open shoe or sandal because they are too warm for that. </p> <p>You can see the flare on these on the side. I think one reason I don't care for them is they are too small. :(&nbsp;</p> <p>But honestly, they shorten my legs by a lot, no matter what, and somehow the effect is much more obvious with these than with other crops. I <b>do</b> like slim crops and I like wide legs (e.g culottes), too. And I <b>even</b> like my crop bootcut jeans from BR. But those are a bit longer on me -- closer to ankle length. &nbsp;My dislike has something to do with this specific pant.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899335 Sat, 17 Mar 2018 00:57:14 +0000 Anonymous 1899335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice Suz! I like the outfit with the cardigan. There is that rule of thirds that makes the outfit look very pleasing to the eye. </p> <p>You can do flares crops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899333 Sat, 17 Mar 2018 00:54:15 +0000 Colette 1899333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, these are your colors! Love the grey cardigan over the blue shirt. I do agree a bit of skin showing may change your perspective on the pants. But I’m still all covered up as well because it’s freezing! No skin showing yet, I can’t handle the cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899306 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 23:07:46 +0000 Jenn 1899306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These colors look totally natural on you. I agree that it’s hard to get perspective right in a mirror selfie. I struggle with that too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899298 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 22:23:45 +0000 Anonymous 1899298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you'll get a different feel for those pants with a shoe , as Cardiff girl suggested. &nbsp;A block heel sandal or pump (when the weather warms up) would show some skin and really define the look. &nbsp;The boots are adding a bit of fullness/scrunch - ? &nbsp;Also, I did notice what Jenni said about the pants being very straight for a flare pant.....all of this might be making it feel "off' to you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899287 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 22:06:00 +0000 Mainelady 1899287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely color combination on you!

They look straight. Lovely soft colours and I like how your phone matches the outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899263 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 20:07:01 +0000 Cardiff girl 1899263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great as always.l hear you on the crops ,I think that’s because they look better with shoes rather than boots which makes them warmer weather trousers,but I bet you d look fab wearing them with pumps or block heeled sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899251 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 19:49:16 +0000 rachylou 1899251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful, esp with your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899242 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 18:55:41 +0000 JAileen 1899242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, Suz!

Sometimes seeing some ankle really helps. Of course in the interim the snake boots are very stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899227 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 18:10:29 +0000 Cee 1899227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...and re your style, what's not to like !? :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899225 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 17:58:55 +0000 Cee 1899225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's hoping the warmer weather is not too far away </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899223 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 17:56:04 +0000 Anonymous 1899223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>0 here - and I'm headed out in a lined bomber and sneakers. &nbsp;I am rebelling. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899216 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 17:41:27 +0000 Sara L. 1899216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me!&nbsp; I like the grey, blue, and black mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-and-light-blue#post-1899213 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 17:23:10 +0000 Suz 1899213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those layers are totally required, alas.
