I will keep this in mind. Julie, you make a good point about not being able to "see" how something fits without a photo - these days, I am in the habit of photographing nearly everything before I buy just to double check!</p> <p>To be honest, I don't dig the skinny silhouette enough to invest in more than a black skinny denim or ponte knit for the future. Comparing this look to my bootcut jeans (<a href="http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo187/shana_ylf/Today/IMG_0725.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i374.photobucket.com/al.....G_0725.jpg</a>), I think this makes me look more top heavy whereas the bootcuts help balance me out and look more proportionate (and taller!!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-about-ppl-for-skinny-non-denim#post-130024 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:59:06 +0000 Debora 130024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Shana, and I think the length looks fine. I must say, that is a beautiful scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-about-ppl-for-skinny-non-denim#post-129839 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 15:02:33 +0000 JuliaInGermany 129839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Louise! Who knew that I'm wearing my pants too short? Darn. I have so much to learn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-about-ppl-for-skinny-non-denim#post-129832 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:23:47 +0000 Louise 129832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pregnantmom PPL means Perfect Pants Length here's Angie's blog post x<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2006/05/16/perfect-pant-lengths-please/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2006/05/.....hs-please/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-about-ppl-for-skinny-non-denim#post-129827 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:27:52 +0000 Maya 129827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do Angie. This is a pretty common problem for me though. I had one good tailor but $15 for hems and $20 for an original hem is too much. </p> <p>Part of the problem might be that they don't pin. They just use chalk and make a small mark where the length should be. </p> <p>Sorry for the hijack, Shana. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-about-ppl-for-skinny-non-denim#post-129826 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:11:47 +0000 JuliaInGermany 129826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, someone pleeeaaase tell me what PPL means. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-about-ppl-for-skinny-non-denim#post-129822 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:20:05 +0000 rute 129822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second outfit is gorgeous!

I actually require a photo to objectively view PPL on myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-about-ppl-for-skinny-non-denim#post-129761 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 06:25:11 +0000 Angie 129761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, you need to switch tailors :0(</p> <p>Shana, you look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-about-ppl-for-skinny-non-denim#post-129684 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 03:18:57 +0000 Maya 129684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think yours look good Shana. OTOH, my ponte pants, like everything else I take to get hemmed, are shorter than I prefer. Normally I'll suck it up and wear them anyway if they don't scrunch as long as they are PPL...but with the ponte pants the lack of scrunch REALLY bothers me. Something about the fact that they are knit makes me feel like scrunch was more appropriate. I was actually thinking of selling them on ebay even though I just got them and they were my Christmas gift </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-about-ppl-for-skinny-non-denim#post-129681 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 03:16:45 +0000 Queen Mum 129681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that's what I would think-as long as you aren't showing skin from the back (between the top of your shoe and the bottom of your pant) I would think it's fine.<br /> those look great to me by the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-about-ppl-for-skinny-non-denim#post-129669 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 03:06:51 +0000 shana 129669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Angie, I guess these aren't truly "ankle" pants on me though they were billed as such. So no scrunch is OK as long as I'm not exposing ankle with the length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-about-ppl-for-skinny-non-denim#post-129664 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 03:02:00 +0000 Angie 129664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shana, your ankle length pants are longer than Jenava's - whom I have asked to take another picture so that we can see a front view. Jenava's look a little short but yours look fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-about-ppl-for-skinny-non-denim#post-129655 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 02:53:08 +0000 shana 129655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just looking at Jen's thread on her black riding pants - <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-black-riding-pants-do-these-look-okay" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-look-okay</a></p> <p>and realized that I'm not quite sure about PPL on non-denim pants. Do non-denim pants need to scrunch as well? I've been wearing these J Crew toothpick cords this fall/winter - there isn't really any scrunch. Does this stumpify? Should I only be wearing these tucked into boots?</p> <p><a href="http://s374.photobucket.com/albums/oo187/shana_ylf/V-neck/Fall_Winter%202010/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_0309.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s374.photobucket.com/al.....G_0309.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://s374.photobucket.com/albums/oo187/shana_ylf/V-neck/Fall_Winter%202010/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_0310.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s374.photobucket.com/al.....G_0310.jpg</a> </p>
