Without the culotte length, all their wonderful detail would be lost. I hope they get lots of wear since the culottes are so versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chapter-three---hack-1#post-1548796 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 01:44:02 +0000 Anonymous 1548796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, these are great! I personally love them with those shoes. And your looks are fab--I especially love the jacket in pic 1. The bold lines and prints in all your elements of that look are perfect. I'm impressed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chapter-three---hack-1#post-1548794 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 01:32:15 +0000 frannieb 1548794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your hack - &nbsp;all the combo are fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chapter-three---hack-1#post-1548780 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 00:55:21 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1548780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them with the booties! I like all the top options, too, though that plaid jacket is really sharp. Love that outfit. (Yours look like the ones in the store to me, too.) </p> <p>p.s. That's a lot of work, too, and nicely done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chapter-three---hack-1#post-1548777 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 00:47:14 +0000 Anonymous 1548777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Cheryle about the low vamp shoe.&nbsp; I think that would be a more flattering look.&nbsp; Nice job on the hack! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chapter-three---hack-1#post-1548775 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 00:42:51 +0000 Suz 1548775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brava!! These are amazing -- I really like the comparison to the old pants -- shows how fun these are going to be for you. And you have the climate for it, too. (She says, seething with barely contained envy...)&nbsp;</p> <p>I think in some cases, it might work slightly better if the top were a smidgen shorter with this or possibly less high contrast. Although having said that I think I like 1 and 5 best -- but I also think those tops might be a tiny bit shorter than the others.&nbsp;</p> <p>How do they feel like this?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chapter-three---hack-1#post-1548769 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 00:32:13 +0000 Tania 1548769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these look great!&nbsp; Nice work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chapter-three---hack-1#post-1548768 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 00:30:52 +0000 Jaime 1548768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look excellent with these shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chapter-three---hack-1#post-1548767 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 00:27:55 +0000 Anonymous 1548767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A exciting new silhouette to play with.

Love your extra participation.&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE THE HACKED VERSION. You have paired the hack job - your new culottes - with perfect ankle strap black footwear. <b>Well done</b>. Killer all round.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chapter-three---hack-1#post-1548736 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 22:03:57 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1548736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You may hate me for this...</p> <p>I would like to see them with a lower vamp shoe first. &nbsp;I think the shoe is breaking up the leg line too much. &nbsp;I only picked up on this because I heard it from LOTs of fabbers when I tried cropped pants recently with black caged sandals that are highish (on the leg not heel). &nbsp;I think that will help a lot. &nbsp;If not, they &nbsp;may need to be shortened a bit more to show more ankle.</p> <p>I think they have a lot of promise though. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chapter-three---hack-1#post-1548719 Sun, 30 Aug 2015 21:12:53 +0000 deb 1548719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For those of you just joining this saga, chapters 1 and 2 are <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-hack-or-not-to-hack-that-is-the-question" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-pants-shopping" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I am sorry to be such a forum hog this weekend. Anyway, I hacked off the black BR Jacksons and hemmed them to about an inch above my black booties. They are lined so I actually hemmed 4 legs and then pressed and now my hands and arms are killing me. I hope it was worth it. Please be brutally honest, do they look as good as any of the pair I tried on yesterday? If not then I need to go shopping for real. I just played around with different tops not shoes and this is what I got. #6 is what they looked like before the hack. </p> <p>Oh, and ignore the hair. </p>
