You need to wear it like that more often- it really looks great .&nbsp;<br />The shirt is also a winner. That style is&nbsp;super-flattering on you. I'm not a big fan of the cropped pants look, but you wear it well.<br /><br />I <u>am</u> a&nbsp;big fan of the sleek simplicity of this outfit. You look great! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-896019 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:09:16 +0000 annaj 896019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the blouse! Just gorgeous! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895926 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 07:32:21 +0000 Deborah 895926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This looks lovely and the socks do continue the line of the pants. &nbsp;The simplicity is just lovely. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895922 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 07:26:54 +0000 Lantana 895922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, what a superb shirt. You look stunning! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895895 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 05:51:10 +0000 rae 895895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You totally pull off cropped pants! I love how the waist detail of the shirt and the color of the socks&nbsp;lengthen the leg line for miles. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895887 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 05:34:18 +0000 Lyn D. 895887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I too love tops that don't need further embellishment with accessories, especially in the warmer weather.<br />YLF, https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895881 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 05:25:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 895881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great outfit on you, Day Vies! I like your take on schoolgirl. The pants and top are both terrific finds, and they go beautifully together. This is such a great look, and I do want to see the pants with the little pointy pumps when you break out that look, too.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895864 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 05:02:13 +0000 Ingunn 895864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are a beautiful woman! Your hair blows me away. I really like all your hairstyles, but this one is a real natural beauty, and that is always a winner. Your mother must have been a sight to be seen in her time in the eighties. I also love the blouse. Now I can see what they are supposed to do - I've tried one of those, but it didn't work for me. Long legs + boyish fit = great fit in cropped, untapered pants. Now I want penny loafers, too. I can try to copy your curls a little, but the rest is way out of my reach.&nbsp;Thank you for inspiring me!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895855 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 04:45:09 +0000 deb 895855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such a cute blouse. I like the shorter trousers but can see them with the kitten heels. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895848 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 04:32:35 +0000 Anonymous 895848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have twisted blouse envy.&nbsp; Like Suz and Claire, I can't fill one out and was delusioned enough to buy one once thinking&nbsp;it would&nbsp;visually add inches.&nbsp;It turned into a sign drawing attention to...nothing.&nbsp; YLF! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895754 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 02:49:13 +0000 Jaime 895754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Agree that you have created PPL voodoo. I think it helps to have super long legs! Your blouse looks amazing on you and your hair is stunning. You must have very good looking parents -&nbsp;you look beautiful! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895722 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 02:15:20 +0000 Anonymous 895722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So cute! You look a little Whitney Houston with that curly bob, too. You know just how to dress your figure (yeah Suz, I can't fill out those knotted tops either). Brilliant move to size up on the pants, that gives you a bit more hip. And yes, you are defying all science by looking so long-legged in cropped pants. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895713 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 02:02:16 +0000 catgirl 895713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the trick is the socks elongating the legline the way my boots did with cropped plaid pants.&nbsp; Although your legs are already mighty long! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895676 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 01:32:02 +0000 Suz 895676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WHOA. All I can say is, your mother must have been one heck of a beauty, because look at you! How the heck can a person have long legs in cropped pants? &nbsp;But you do! And that blouse is spectacular. I have one with a twist like that in the front from BR last year - it is a summer sleeveless thing. But after seeing you wear yours, I do not think I will have the heart to sport my own. This is how it's supposed to look!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895666 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 01:28:24 +0000 Karie 895666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fantastic blouse, fantastic pants, fantastic hair, fantastic...do you see a theme going on here? You look fantastic! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895661 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 01:25:11 +0000 celia 895661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nothing like a clean outfit to brighten the day.<br />The blouse is the star for me in this outfit. Not very sure about the fit of the pants but envy your slim hips ;)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895654 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 01:20:44 +0000 Raisin 895654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great blouse! &nbsp;You look great. &nbsp;Love your hair today too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895621 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:46:52 +0000 Aida 895621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This blouse is amazing on you, what a find! Must admit that I am not a big fan of this cropped pant length so I'd prefer shorter or longer lengths to highlight those miles long legs. And of course, my favorite things is your hair ^^ https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895618 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:43:33 +0000 Day Vies 895618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aww K -- that makes my day. I think the crops don't look choppy because my socks are the same color so the pant hem isn't such a line of demarcation&nbsp;-- that's the only way I can explain why it seems to work.&nbsp;<br /><br />Thistle -- I really think a blouse like this with the structured lines and knot in the center would look fabulous on you. Maybe you could add to a summer capsule?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895617 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:42:10 +0000 Thistle 895617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love that blouse on you! &nbsp;You to always look so perfect and pulled together! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895610 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:36:37 +0000 K. Period. 895610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Seriously, you are defying the laws of short pant science. How is it possible that you've managed to make your legs look a mile long even though you are wearing cropped pants?!? How? You are amazing! Law breaker!&nbsp;<br /><br />I love the blouse. That shape is a favorite of mine too. &nbsp;It looks formal and feminine all while scooting over the middle and not making the ladies look disproportionate. Truly phenomenal. &nbsp;You look&nbsp;gloriously&nbsp;gorgeous, DV!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895605 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:29:34 +0000 Day Vies 895605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nicole -&nbsp;I was multi-tasking so the pictures got a little lost in the shuffle and I posted without them. (La la la!)<br /><br />Alaska -- this blouse was all alone in the clearance section so when I tried it on and it fit perfectly I brought it home to live with me ;-)&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895604 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:29:26 +0000 hedgiehog 895604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are rocking this outfit!

Man, that's a shirt!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895596 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:20:40 +0000 catgirl 895596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WHAT A BLOUSE! &nbsp;I am loving that fit on you. &nbsp;Gorgeous! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895594 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:18:47 +0000 Nicole D 895594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, there they are! &nbsp;ANd wow - worth waiting for. &nbsp;I love that blouse on you - just perfect for your figure. &nbsp;I think you are a genius for getting the cropped non-tapered leg right. &nbsp;That always look gawky on me. &nbsp;SHoes balance them out. &nbsp;YLF. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895593 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:16:56 +0000 Nicole D 895593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I can't see the pics! &nbsp;Don't tease us! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-the-details-take-the-lead#post-895592 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:14:30 +0000 Day Vies 895592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I liked this outfit today because it has simple clean lines. I didn't wear any jewelry and you can't see the belt that I'm wearing. These trousers are the new cropped style. I actually sized up because my size emphasized what little hips I have and I really wanted a boyish slouch on these.&nbsp;Normally I would have worn some pointy toed kitten heels but with a high of 39 degrees I did not want my ankles to freeze. So I veered off into "school-girl" territory with the super shiny 2 inch&nbsp;heel penny loafers. I wore my glasses all day today so I think that added to the school-girl vibe. <br /><br />As an aside,&nbsp;I'm awed at how much I look like my mother in these photos. She wore a curly perm during the 80's and I look just like her. (Most of the time I look like my Dad).<br /><br />Here's what I'm wearing:<br />Elie Tahari button down&nbsp;shirt&nbsp;<br />BR copped trousers&nbsp;<br />LE penny loafers&nbsp;<br />(Hair by Day Vies ;-D)&nbsp;<br /><br />Thanks for looking!&nbsp;
