Oh, and I actually wanted to ask if you have lost some weight, so just bear in mind the jeans have to be that flattering, or your scale is wrong:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way/page/2#post-1582887 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:44:38 +0000 Anonymous 1582887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can add me to the looong list of admirers for this look on you Suz. Perfect proportions and oh-so-perfect colours for you.

I'm three pairs into the cropped trend now, they're just really working for me, and I love my Anthro ones. Darker wash, super soft and they come in petite for you. Fit wise, I took the size same as the BR ones. I say go for it.<br /> And you are totally Radiant Gamine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way/page/2#post-1582872 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 05:40:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1582872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha! Well, that's a fascinating line of study and work. I'm impressed, and admiring your talent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way/page/2#post-1582829 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 02:35:39 +0000 Jaime 1582829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wolf whistle! (I am taking back the whistle ;-)) I love how you assessed the perfect size for those jeans, and they do look perfect. Yes, the penny also dropped for me and I told myself to focus on jeans. (I just bought Gap black jeans, but that is another story.)<br />And I love this outfit on you. Hmm radiant yes, but also Renaissance woman from all you are juggling. Sorry it has been a rough time, hope it is getting calmer. You look truly fab regardless. Warm vibes and virtual hug being sent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way/page/2#post-1582828 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 02:33:52 +0000 Beth Ann 1582828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Must hear about that libretto sometime soon!&nbsp; I hear you entirely about dressing for drama classes!&nbsp; Opera singers often rehearse in "rehearsal skirt" (big, long gathered skirts) and knee pads.&nbsp; Such a lovely look!&nbsp; (Your jeans are far fabber). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way/page/2#post-1582817 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 02:16:58 +0000 Karie 1582817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, gorgeous! I love the kick flares on you, and I'm not really into the kick flare trend (yet). So sorry to hear you've been going through a rough time.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way/page/2#post-1582805 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 01:41:42 +0000 Sveta 1582805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works great - actually I love the whole outfit! I was thinking about those kick flares but was afraid that they will be way too short for me in the regular length.<br />I soooo hear you on the fashion slump! Not that I see any in your pictures but for what I feel. Maybe it is just a time for a change for both of us? It is really interesting that nobody can guess you are in a slump by looking at me&nbsp;but this is how I feel...<br />Speaking about change:I passed this merino pullover in the store but seeing it on you I am regretting it. Maybe more fitting pullover is exactly what I need right now?...but pink or navy? :-)<br />Oh and I think we are on the same wavelength re. "denim update": I just dropped my faded Gap jeans to make into cropped ones </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582781 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 01:04:12 +0000 Missey 1582781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well Suz, you look divine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582774 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 00:59:32 +0000 Suz 1582774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, <b>Angie</b>, I will take "Radiant Gamine" any day. &nbsp;&lt;smiles radiantly.&gt;</p> <p><b>DC</b>, thank you so much. <b>Sterling</b>, so sorry you can't wear merino, but you will find your perfect "tee." Check out the Vince modal ones. Very pricey but very very nice and plenty warm, too.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Brooklyn, Sally, Vildy</b> -thank you. <b>Vildy</b>, this cardigan was so badly photographed by Nordics!!. I think Angie mentioned that the model didn't do it justice and I am glad I listened to her. It's really MUCH nicer than in the stock photo.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Crackers,</b> thank you!!! Your input was absolutely crucial to me and so, so helpful!!! Glad to be boot and jean twins. Now, tell me a bit more about the Anthro pair in case I want a back up. :)</p> <p><b>Sara, MomofThree</b>, I understand. It's hard for our eyes to adjust sometimes.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Tex</b>, I think when you find "your" perfect pair this may be an excellent look for you. You are slender, with longish limbs and you lead a casual life like me. This could be a really suitable style.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Inge, Celia,</b> thanks! And <b>Aida,</b> you GOT it. So happy to find a new winter ready silhouette. We deserve this!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582740 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 23:53:54 +0000 Angie 1582740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry it's been tough at home this year. (((HUGS))). Let us know if we can help.&nbsp;</p> <p>(Glad to hear I wasn't a rude bossy thing shouting in your ear).&nbsp;</p> <p>YAY! WOOHOOOO. I'm loving the new Fall proportions, Suz. Practical, hip and refreshed. Your leg line looks PLENTY long, and the outfit is Killer. Looking very Euro to my eye. How clever of you to gauge the size of those cropped flares correctly. Well done.&nbsp;</p> <p>I changed my style moniker to <b>Urban Pretty</b> this year and am loving it. You could be <i>Radiant Gamine</i>.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582736 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 23:49:25 +0000 dakotacheryl 1582736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, my brain hurts just thinking about your PhD work!!</p> <p>You look so fresh, and warm, and wonderful in your outfit...perfect fit and style!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582718 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 23:20:13 +0000 Anonymous 1582718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I circled around to comment on that crewneck, merino wool sweater. &nbsp;In my opinion it is perfect in every way: &nbsp;color, fit, neckline. &nbsp;I would be all over that sweater if it were not merino wool. &nbsp;I can't wear it (no matter how many salesclerks have told me I could). &nbsp;I'm looking for that exact sweater in a different fabrication &nbsp;I realize I may have to opt for synthetics and I am willing to do that. &nbsp;But <b>Suz</b>, <u>great find</u>. &nbsp;I added it to my finds as a reminder to keep an eye out for that sweater in different fabrications. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582716 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 23:05:49 +0000 Brooklyn 1582716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

So glad I could help (and so glad you didn't listen about sizing!) I'm a total fan of the cropped flares, and cropped jeans in general, I love the new silhouette and feel. And we are jean and boot twins!

I still haven't found a pair of cropped jeans that I felt right about (I wasn't willing to spring for a pair over $100).&nbsp; I do like the let out hem look on some - as just a fun change of pace. I wonder what jeans trend will come up next! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582654 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 20:06:35 +0000 Inge 1582654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You totally nailed this, Suz! And I love that hooded cardigan on you (both the style and colour). </p> <p>And thanks for letting us know about that lightweight merino wool jumper. I'm now eyeing it in pink:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582648 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 19:44:53 +0000 Aida 1582648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY for silhouettes besides skinnies that work in winter! I think the jeans look super, and even better that you've already got boots that'll work with them. The inky Zara boots come to mind, too. Fab outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582638 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 19:27:52 +0000 celia 1582638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, your version totally works.

Fabbers are the <b>best!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Elizabeth</b>, it's true that the jeans silhouette has some similarity to the rolled ones. I now have a couple of different higher shaft booties I can wear with these -- or I can wear them with tall boots tucked under. And, <b>Unfrumped, Eliza</b> and <b>Beth Ann</b> hit the nail on the head -- this look may not make "sense" to some, but it is so so <b>SO</b> practical for those of us in Northern climes and offers up a wealth of new fun options. The skinnies tucked into boots becomes old so fast in our long winters and we've needed something different for years!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sharan,</b> the class where I'm crawling on the floor is a drama class. We do a lot of "devising" and it can take us in ...um...interesting directions. I'm actually a Cultural Studies PhD candidate with a "research-creation" thesis. I'm not taking any writing courses. The drama is because I'm writing libretto and the instructor has expertise there. My other courses will be more theoretical. The "thesis" will be project based (my book of poetry &amp; libretto) but will also have a critical-theoretical component.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Greyscale,</b> I find sizing up in petites can sometimes (but not always) allow for fit. Often the pants are a smidge too short for me in petite as well as too short in the rise, but obviously here that wasn't an issue. I would give it a try if you are inclined. It might work! And <b>Una</b>, I think these could potentially work for you. The only thing is...if they're the right length on me...will they be too long in petite on you? Hard to say because my legs really are on the short side and yours are not (proportionately).&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks <b>Carole, Alasse, Cheryle</b>, <b>Adelfa,</b> and <b>Carter.</b> You made my day.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582627 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 18:39:53 +0000 Adelfa 1582627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look really sophisticated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582625 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 18:25:51 +0000 carter 1582625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And....she's back! Looking as fabulous as ever. Looking forward to seeing where your style evolution takes you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582624 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 18:20:20 +0000 Elizabeth P 1582624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fantastic Suz!&nbsp; I like everything about it.&nbsp; I see the cropped jeans as a new variation on rolled ones....which you do well, so no surprise you can style these with panache.&nbsp; </p> <p>And good for you on your size guessing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fall-proportions-my-way#post-1582621 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 18:11:31 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1582621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz! You are looking dynamite! I love this new direction on you. The big difference here for me is the jeans silhouette, and it looks great. I can picture you wearing that cardigan with your previous jeans looks, and the scarf, and the boots. Although I think your typical looks would have featured a somewhat more tailored cardigan, and you favored pullovers more often in the past, and shorter ones. So I see this beautiful hooded cardigan as a way the tunic length can work nicely for you (i.e., the open cardi, to show the waist). Those boots are burgundy, aren't they? So, so gorgeous. <br />You are crawling on the floor in writing classes?? That would make me want to resort to my berry-picking clothes--grungy jeans or hiking pants. I recall that when I was in grad school (in English), I dressed very casually, for me, but still felt like I stood out in what I wore. It's a hard thing to be amid a very casual environment and still try to dress in a way that feels fab. I can relate to the few extra pounds, too, throwing things way off, as one scrambles to find what feels and looks good on a slightly changed body. </p>
