Hard luck.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sarah, the Topshop's have a weird cut - you were right to leave them. Hope the JJ's work out.</p> <p>I tried the Pilcro's from Anthropologie that Viva has, and they swallowed me up. The rise was too high and the flare overwhelmed me, which was most unexpected. The CE and the Express cropped kick flares fit me so much better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1562714 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 02:46:52 +0000 sarah 1562714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie. I may try those Express, although the rise would likely be too high on me. I did order a pair of jeans from Jill, of all places, as these came up when I googled "cropped petite jeans".

I bailed at the last minute telling myself I do not need another pair of trendy jeans. Want, but don't need. &nbsp;I'm going to make do with my Free Bird cropped flares - even though they are a pretty faded wash and I would love a darker pair. &nbsp;I have a pair of unworn straight legged dark jeans that I am going to hack off at that cropped length, and they are just wide enough that it may have the same effect. &nbsp;Stay tuned &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1562442 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 19:41:48 +0000 viva 1562442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I had seen this and ordered those Express jeans! What a price, and I would love a pair of dark cropped flares. I am going to swing by our pathetic little mall this weekend and see if they are in-store. I think cropped flares are still too forward-thinking for most in my area, so I am hoping they still have them around. </p> <p>BTW, the Pilcros from Anthro are what I have, and I love those.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1562116 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 01:04:14 +0000 Aida 1562116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep. I ordered two sizes down from what I have in the Love Stories, which are a bit loose now (and apparently need to be rehemmed, as I found this morning while testing out what I had originally planned to wear Saturday -_-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1562115 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 01:01:53 +0000 Angie 1562115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(I can't help myself). </p> <p>Did you size down in the CE's, Aida? They run VERY big. I'm in a size 24 in those - and I NEVER wear a size 24 in jeans. Always a 25 or 26.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1562113 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 01:00:20 +0000 Aida 1562113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Twist! On a whim I checked Nordies for the CE pair and they had one in my size (and I had Notes, woohoo). On their way to me now. If they fit I'll take them to my fancy tailor to see what he can do with that hem. Looking forward to seeing the Express pair in person on Saturday.</p> <p>(OK no need to reply! Go rest &lt;3 ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1562112 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:58:52 +0000 Angie 1562112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure if the faded pair fits in the same way, but worth a try. The dark pair runs TTS.&nbsp;</p> <p>Aida, I will wear my dark Express cropped kick flares on Saturday for you to see. You might like them with light booties - but I don't. I only like my light faded cropped kick flares with light booties.&nbsp;</p> <p>I need to stop typing RIGHT NOW.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1562111 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:55:14 +0000 Aida 1562111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm interesting. I was planning on getting only one high-shaft bootie (a light pair) but now I must rethink that. Perhaps I can find a way to work in two, one dark and one light. Or perhaps I should've ordered the <a href="http://www.express.com/clothing/women/faded-mid-rise-bell-crop-jean/pro/7116933C/cat890004" rel="nofollow">faded pair</a> from Express instead of the dark! &gt;&lt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1562110 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:51:00 +0000 Angie 1562110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohooo, Aida &amp; Jaime. You're going to love them.</p> <p>I LOVE my cropped flares. Both light and dark wash. See below.</p> <p>Here’s the caveat. I do not like the <i>dark </i>cropped kick flares (#2) with contrast booties (flat or heeled) - or at least not yet. I ONLY like them with low contrast heeled ink booties, or black ankle strap pumps. I like my faded Current Elliot cropped kick flares form the NAS (#1) with lighter booties and ankle strap pumps because they are light and less flared. So there you go. That’s my assessment for the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1562109 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:50:40 +0000 Jaime 1562109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also ordered the Express pair - it was so discounted I couldn't resist!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1562095 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:32:52 +0000 Aida 1562095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for these Angie! Against my usual edict for no dark blue denim I've ordered the Express pair. Curious to see how they work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1561987 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 21:49:56 +0000 Angie 1561987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Get the look going ladies.&nbsp;</b></p> <p>Una, if you read today's morning blog post, it will answer your question about covering up bare skin with socks and higher shaft booties.

I'm planning to wear SmartWool socks in black with my black higher shaft booties and let the socks peek out.&nbsp;</p> <p>I got the Express jeans ordered for a steal, something like $27.99!

I don't think I'll be going for any cropped flares, though. Hope you feel better soon, Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1561871 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 16:09:17 +0000 Janet 1561871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am enjoying my Current/Elliot cropped jeans enough that I would consider a darker wash pair.

For example, my olive culottes are petite.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-kick-flares-and-skinnies-for-petites#post-1561834 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:50:00 +0000 Angie 1561834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Joy &amp; Laura.&nbsp;</p> <p>Beth, I'm not sure you'll find cropped kick flares in petites this season - too new and hot off the press.

(I got them and LOVE them although I do not need to hem them).</p> <p>The Find does not go the Express site, so here is the link. They are MOVING LIKE HOT CAKES so grab them now - lots of sizes sold out already. They run TTS and <i>on me</i>, had a high rise. I am shorter in the rise.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.express.com/clothing/women/dark-mid-rise-bell-crop-jean/pro/7116932C/cat890004">http://www.express.com/clothin...../cat890004</a></p> <p>I've also tried on lots of cropped skinnies - only to return them because they were <i>sausage-casing deluxe</i>. But the Rocket Crops from COH are excellent. Good fit and not sausage-casing. Run TTS.&nbsp;</p> <p>You can also get a pair of inexpensive petite bootcuts - like from the Gap - and hem them to a cropped length for the same visual effect.&nbsp;</p> <p>Okay. That's it on the forum for me today. Must rest my arm.&nbsp; </p>
