You know I'm all over this type of pant, and I have been wanting a pair in a wool weight for winter (for the um... 3 days.. we don't get rain) for a looooong time. Hoping since it's a trouser season I'll finally get them, and I also plan to hem for "low heels" for me (which is 1.5-2" somewhere). I can't WAIT to see yours, Angie!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-670905 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 14:53:32 +0000 Jem 670905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's always fun to try something new and I can't wait to see your new pants and how you style them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-670892 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 14:32:42 +0000 Angie 670892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies :)</p> <p>Denise, are you giving up your very form fitting skinnies? You have about a million pairs of them.</p> <p>High five Sandy and Inge!</p> <p>Jules, you are as sweet as ever. </p> <p>Laura, I take full responsibility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-670797 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 12:44:11 +0000 Laura 670797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rebel, you!</p> <p>You've gotten me feeling allergic to anything form-fitting, too. Look what you've done!! Loose just feels fresher. And on top of it, with the heat we're experiencing (100 degrees AGAIN today), I can wear loose, rolled-up jeans -- but there's no way I could wear skinnies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-670726 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 09:18:09 +0000 Inge 670726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm excited that you are joining Team wide-legged trousers;-)<br /> I'm also in a very Dietrich/Katherine Hepburn menswear kind of mood, and am looking forward to seeing your wide-legged trouser outfits with lower heels. I'll be taking notes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-670377 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 21:37:26 +0000 Heather 670377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rules are made to be broken. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-670360 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 21:00:51 +0000 Debbie 670360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see this look with lower heels.

Over 2 inches and I am done for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-670236 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 19:33:29 +0000 RoseandJoan 670236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to watch your style evolve Angie and espeically love how you are not afraid to do a u-turn on a look.

I just gave all of my form fitting tops away to a more petite than I (and much younger) co-worker. I am allergic to this look for a very specific reason: I just don't feel comfortable in this look at my age of 54. As you know I am not afraid of trendy silhouettes but I just. can't. do. sexy any more and no matter how you slice it, very form fitting is very sexy to my eye. I am even moving away from form fitting bottoms but this is very difficult because I am so tempted by all of the great skinny jeans that continue to come out. Form fitting looks great on younger women and I embraced form-fitting well into my 40s, past your age Angie (and got the male attention from it that I must have subliminally been desiring after my divorce at age 44). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-670191 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:55:17 +0000 san 670191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very exciting news and I can't wait to see how you wear your trousers and shoes. I love trousers worn like men wear them with a comfortable walking type of shoe. Go Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-670082 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:05:31 +0000 MsMary 670082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-670078 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:03:08 +0000 Ginny 670078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rule #1- have fun<br /> I cant wait to see you rock a wide leg jean/trouser! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-670034 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 16:22:30 +0000 rachylou 670034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cannot wait to see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-669998 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:41:34 +0000 rae 669998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rules are meant to be broken!

Stumpy seems impossible when I look at you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-669960 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:13:20 +0000 Carole 669960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this rebellious side of you, Angie. The need for some heel height when sporting wide legged pants must explain why I love skinnies and straight legs. Like you, the highest heel for me is going to be under 2 inches but I prefer flats. I do have a pair of wide white leg trousers and some wedges that I should wear before the summer is over. I love the look, actually, just have been kind of lazy. You have inspired me today. Thanks for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules/page/2#post-669936 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:42:41 +0000 Angie 669936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! You are all very kind. </p> <p>Sveta, I'll happily purchase a casual maxi and hack it to a midi :)</p> <p>I LOVE my skinnies and straight legs (tapered legs are my best because I'm such an '80s gal). And you can't not wear them in Seattle because the style is too practical for our grotty wet weather. </p> <p>That said, I am having a very slight allergic reaction to clothes that are overly form fitting (not tailored and fitted, just overly form fitting) - on everyone. On me, forum members, bloggers, street style passersby and models. I am moving in the other direction for style salvation. </p> <p>DeniseP, rest assured I always have fun with fashion </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules#post-669924 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:29:20 +0000 cheryl 669924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, there is no way you could ever look stumpy. I can't wait to see the new pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules#post-669886 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:06:20 +0000 Lisa 669886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun that you are breaking your own rules. Just goes to show, when the right item comes along, rules don't matter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules#post-669865 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:41:44 +0000 Mo 669865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rules are meant to be broken, right?! I'm sure they look wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules#post-669857 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:35:09 +0000 Jamie 669857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love wide leg trousers (and love breaking the rules), but I haven't had a pair in years. I picked up the same trousers, Angie, and I haven't decided what length to have them hemmed. I can't wait to see how you style yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules#post-669830 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:04:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 669830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why, oh why, do you keep teasing us with these snippets of your new purchases and style without pictures Angie??? It's just cruel (lol)!</p> <p>You will rock these trousers no doubt and I can't imagine you ever looking stumpy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules#post-669827 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:01:08 +0000 Anonymous 669827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do, Angie. I felt that way when I recently bought cropped pants. I know they don't lengthen my legs the way long pants do, but it's summer and it's hot. Also, there are occasions in which cropped pants are appropriate, whereas shorts are not. I've been wearing both my wide-legged trousers and my cropped pants with higher-heeled shoes to offset the leg-shortening effect. I see no reason why you couldn't wear such pants with lower heels if that's more comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules#post-669810 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:03:39 +0000 Melissa 669810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I bet these silhouettes will look fab on you! I have always favored these silhouettes for myself(a petite hourglass), lamenting that they weren't as on trend as skinny jeans. I wear my trousers happily though, keeping in mind that they are timeless classy. Can't wait to see photos of the trouser-look on you! They will be beautiful! I know it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules#post-669795 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:29:24 +0000 Sveta 669795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotta love it when Angie breaks her own rules! I wonder what is next - maxi skirt? :-)<br /> Cannot wait to see those babies in action because I am sure they will look sensational on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules#post-669791 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:14:25 +0000 DeniseP 669791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*BIG sigh of relief*</p> <p>When I read the title of your post, got a little concerned, b/c on the YLF homepage, there are only two rules: 1. Have fun with fashion, and 2. There are no other rules.<br /> So I thought, "Angie is not having fun with fashion!"</p> <p>But it looks like you are! That's inspiring to me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-broke-two-of-my-own-style-rules#post-669784 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 10:18:40 +0000 Deborah 669784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love a bit of rule breaking!!
