So thoughtful! </p> <p>I'm not sure I'll invest in this look any further than I already have. I like the cropped flares (BR and R&amp;B) I already have, but hubs is not wild about them, and culottes and wider legs take the concept even further. </p> <p>Maybe I would be a more likely candidate for culottes that are more drapey, not too A-line or stiff. But I'm just not sure I like the whole culotte style that much for myself anyway. I know to never say never, and someday I might try on some for grins, but somehow I'm not feeling it from a stylistic point of view, body issues aside. Hmm. I will ponder this further. I do like being current and trying new trends, but this one is not grabbing me. </p> <p>I really appreciate your encouragement though! I have actually had some fleeting thoughts about trends, copycatting, style icons, individuality, rebellion, and personal style lately (in between work, wedding prep, houseguests, etc), and perhaps I'll get a chance to form some more coherent thoughts and write a post on this later. I am feeling a closet edit coming on (probably in September), and that's usually a good time for some evaluation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darling-janet-yes-you-can#post-1715559 Wed, 17 Aug 2016 15:32:57 +0000 Angie 1715559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, you mentioned a few times over the last few days that you can't wear flared culottes with a higher waist because of your body type. May I gently suggest that you <i></i>can<i></i>,<i> if the rise isn't too high for your shorter torso. </i>THAT is key. &nbsp;<i></i></p> <p>Think of it this way. You look Killer Stunning in regular length bootcuts and flares - <b>culottes are merely a shorter version of them</b>. You have a naturally long leg line, (hello, Ms. Legs!) - which helps create traditionally flattering proportions right away. So if you DO like the look, please don't give up on it. I know you'd rock the vibe. xo</p> <p> </p>
