I love your new jeans and like how you have styled them. I love the burgundy colour of the cardigan you are looking at. I have a waterfall cardigan and find it too voluminous for me, so I hope your one works out. Great to see Sophie too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848279 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 23:54:17 +0000 LaPed 1848279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh, that blog post on long vs short waists is interesting. I have more than two hand widths, but my hip-to-knee length is also more than 2" longer than my torso measurement. All I can think is that I have a proportionately short chest/upper torso? Chest pockets on shirts do tend to sit somewhat lower than they ought to on me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848277 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 23:50:45 +0000 JAileen 1848277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans really do look great. I love #4. The colors are so wonderful. </p> <p>I think I'm long waisted, too. But I think if I wear a long jacket, to me, it seems like it's emphasizing it more. I guess I've been doing it wrong! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848271 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 22:47:16 +0000 Anonymous 1848271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new jeans look great. Skylurker, thank you for the link. I needed the reminder especially as higher waisted jeans are now more common. On my short-waisted body (one hand) I hope that a midrise Jean will be ok, especially with an assemetrical top or short boxy top worn untucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848268 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 21:39:09 +0000 Style Fan 1848268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenni.&nbsp; The new jeans are a win.&nbsp; They will go into my travel capsule for November.&nbsp; I also like shorter jackets.&nbsp; The lakes in this part of the world are beautiful.&nbsp; That lake is called Lake Muskoka.&nbsp; Thank you for your suggestion.&nbsp; I am always open to medical advice regarding migraines.&nbsp; I am on a preventive medication (after trying several).&nbsp; This time of year is always difficult.&nbsp; Weather changes I suspect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848256 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 18:56:39 +0000 Jenni NZ 1848256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans look wonderful. And I like the cropped jacket, but then my fave jackets are cropped so I think personal preference is coming in. What a beautiful lake! It reminds me of my favourite LM Montgomery book called "The Blue Castle". And on a medical note, maybe a migraine preventer? I am sorry to hear you haven't felt well. The new cardigan looks a great colour for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848165 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 13:06:33 +0000 Style Fan 1848165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the link skylurker.&nbsp; I did the test.&nbsp; I have small hands.&nbsp; Does that make a difference?&nbsp; Only joking.&nbsp; I can see it now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848143 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 11:20:44 +0000 skylurker 1848143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if you're the opposite of this : <a href="https://youlookfab.com/2015/08/24/12-tips-how-to-dress-a-short-waist/" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/2015/08.....ort-waist/</a><br /> Given how you look in the high waisted jeans in the last pic, I'd say you have a long torso, yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848118 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 08:43:14 +0000 Style Fan 1848118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Anchie.&nbsp; I do like this blazer.&nbsp; How does a person know if they have a long torso?&nbsp; I am reading up on this.&nbsp; I was so busy figuring out how to dress a pear body I totally missed the other stuff.&nbsp; What is next?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848115 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 08:32:25 +0000 anchie 1848115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This jeans are fabulous on you and I think that the blazer look great too. But apparently I also have a long torso which I was not aware of and I wear a lot of short and cropped blazers myself:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848111 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 08:20:20 +0000 Style Fan 1848111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lisa.&nbsp; I am going to try the longer blazer next.&nbsp; Marks is easy to shop at and they allow dogs.&nbsp; I find the Levis sizing to be one size larger than my normal size.&nbsp; This is because of my hips.&nbsp; The Marks in our town has a large selection (larger than online) of jeans and footwear.&nbsp; I am going back to try on some booties with block heels. </p> <p>Thanks Sal.&nbsp; Finding jeans as you know is hard work.&nbsp; I may go back and get the black ones.&nbsp; Yes the cardigan would be great for lounging and travelling.</p> <p>Thank you Brooklyn.&nbsp; I prefer to wear a more streamlined look.&nbsp; When I try an artsy look I end up looking sloppy.&nbsp; The area we live in (Muskoka) is very beautiful.&nbsp; We live on a hiking trial that goes to some waterfalls.&nbsp; I love that hike.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848085 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 03:25:07 +0000 Brooklyn 1848085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans look fab. I personally think you could do the cropped blazer and jeans together. It looks good. I like the cardigan for you as long as it's not too voluminous at front. It's hard to tell in the pic. I think of you as having a more streamlined, tailored style. Not arty/oversized (not that there's anything wrong with that).<br /> The pics around your home look wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848080 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 02:20:06 +0000 Sal 1848080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are really great on you!! &nbsp;They are a super fit and really work well on your shape and for your style.</p> <p>I like these cardigans for lounging or for casual wear - ie car journeys, wearing in the cooler evening. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1848026 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 23:55:57 +0000 Anonymous 1848026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans look fantastic on you - and I can't wait to figure out a pair for myself. &nbsp;I have not had 5 minutes to get to a store lately - I seem to be doing more things on-line than ever. &nbsp;Marks is easy to get to, park at, and shop in (because there is never anyone in there!) - I'll make a note to check these out this week. I haven't tried on Levi's in 100 years - how's the sizing? &nbsp;</p> <p>And re: jacket length - I'm not great at it either. I can now see that you do indeed have a longer torso, which is why you can wear those Jesse Kamm pants so well. &nbsp;And now that Angie mentions it, a longer blazer would look really great here . &nbsp;I like that CM sweater - such a lovely colour . Must pop in there soon too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1847968 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 19:18:40 +0000 Style Fan 1847968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Smittie the weather has been amazing this past week.&nbsp; Today is yet another wonderful warm day.&nbsp; We are finally getting summer.&nbsp; I have shorts on for the first time this year.<br />The jeans are good for curvy women.&nbsp; Still inches big in the waist but that is nothing new. &nbsp; That is what belts are for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1847966 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 19:11:19 +0000 Anonymous 1847966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah....what a beautiful day we're having in Ontario! I don't have a clue about correct jacket length. I'm much pickier about pant lengths, so ask me about that sometime.</p> <p>Great jeans. They're now on my radar. They look good for curves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1847951 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 18:32:28 +0000 Style Fan 1847951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie!&nbsp; I am blushing.&nbsp; I have a longer blazer.&nbsp; Not that I really wear one these days.&nbsp; I will have to look in my wardrobe at my clothes with new eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1847949 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 18:25:45 +0000 Style Fan 1847949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Skylurker.&nbsp; The rules on jackets and torso lengths is puzzling to me too.&nbsp; (Add on the fact that I am lost figuring out my own body type, etc.)&nbsp; I stick to familiar colours and that seems to work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1847947 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 18:22:24 +0000 Angie 1847947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER jeans. And Sophie is precious.&nbsp;</p> <p><i>YOU ARE 62 YEARS YOUNG AND GORGEOUS.</i></p> <p>Yes to the blazer and tee looking short on you for jeans. Fab for skirts though.&nbsp;</p> <p>YES, you have a long body - wave to <b>Tanya </b>and <b>Anne.</b>&nbsp;Elegant. I would dress you&nbsp;<b></b>in a&nbsp;longer blazer, and there are many around at the moment<b>.&nbsp;<br /></b><br />CM cardi is fab<i> if </i>you are okay with the volume. I know you prefer to define your waist.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1847946 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 18:20:35 +0000 skylurker 1847946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm not sure about this rule about jackets and torso length. I don't think short jackets look bad on Tanya. I don't think long jackets look bad on me. Anyway. I like the jacket on you, I vote classic, not dated.<br /> You know your colours well, the bronze top and orange cardi look great on you.<br /> Jeans fit well.<br /> Re the cardi : I'm unable to judge something if I don't see it on the person, clothes in Finds don't speak to me at all, sorry.<br /> Hope the migraines lift and you feel better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1847944 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 18:14:58 +0000 Style Fan 1847944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Tanya for your feedback.&nbsp; I preferred the shorter blazers on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1847943 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 18:07:23 +0000 Tanya 1847943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans look amazing on you, and are a great buy.&nbsp; The outfit with the cardi is&nbsp; beautiful, those are your colors. &nbsp; I really like the CM burgundy cardigan and vote get it. <br />I don't know what to say about the blazer.&nbsp; I have a very long torso, too, and recently posted a thread with my suits where I asked if longer or shorter jackets work better on me.&nbsp; The opinions were fairly divided.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-length-dark-jeans-and-some-other-things#post-1847940 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 18:03:30 +0000 Style Fan 1847940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to Angie for inspiring me to add a pair of full length dark blue jeans to my wardrobe.&nbsp; These are Levis slim straights which Marks (for the Canadians) carry.&nbsp; They are too big in the waist but seem okay every where else.&nbsp; They are the same as another pair I have.<br />Pic 1 to 3&nbsp; Hugo Boss Blazer, Three Dots T Shirt, Levis and Finn Comfort Loafers</p> <p>Pic 4&nbsp; Ann Taylor Cardigan, Three Dots T Shirt, Levis and Finn Comfort Sandals</p> <p>I wanted the view of the blazer because I wondered if it was starting to look a bit dated and it is cropped.&nbsp; I like a cropped blazer but perhaps that is not the best look for me.&nbsp; Someone recently told me I had a long torso.&nbsp; I never knew that.&nbsp; How did I make it to 62 and not know that? &nbsp;</p> <p>I am considering the burgundy cardigan from Club Monaco.&nbsp; Any opinions on that silhouette for me?&nbsp; (see Finds)</p> <p>Any and all comments are welcome.&nbsp; Sorry if the post is a bit rambling.&nbsp; I have had an incredible number of migranes this past month. </p>
