I do like the shorter jacket, too. It's been a workhorse in my wardrobe. I chose the black blazer because it's been an orphan and I was inspired to find a way to wear it. Now I have two outfits for the shortened tee!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9/page/2#post-2310421 Sun, 26 Feb 2023 18:04:37 +0000 Star (Lise) 2310421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit with the shorter top and jacket.&nbsp; I prefer baggier pants with shorter, more fitted tops and toppers.&nbsp; YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9/page/2#post-2310417 Sun, 26 Feb 2023 17:55:13 +0000 kkards 2310417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shorted jacket looks fab.

Longer jacket is warm and practical but does feel a bit heavy to my eye ( maybe just me ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2310343 Sun, 26 Feb 2023 04:23:08 +0000 Suz 2310343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Dee said!

I'm terrible at blousing tees but here is a photo of the shorter jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2310322 Sun, 26 Feb 2023 00:10:29 +0000 MsMaven 2310322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked kkards idea of blousing the tee, but the shortening turned out great. I would still love to see it with a short jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2310321 Sat, 25 Feb 2023 23:45:00 +0000 Bonnie 2310321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Fan: Thanks. I tried the method but my sewing machine is not working so I did the sewing by hand. Since the shirt was black it hid the stitching and it looks good. I also changed the sneakers to boots and added the bag I plan to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2310314 Sat, 25 Feb 2023 21:03:41 +0000 Style Fan 2310314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, I love both looks, but the wide-legged jeans are my favourites.&nbsp; I am curious to see how Brooklyn's idea works out.&nbsp; I have some tees that are too long—time to dust off the sewing machine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2310125 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 17:15:25 +0000 Bonnie 2310125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie &amp; Jaime: Thank you.

I've been wanting to try wider legs and ordered these and DH loved them so I've been trying them with all sorts of tops and toppers. Everyone was so helpful and I'm going to work on shortening the tee tomorrow. The sleeve scrunching trick is such a cool idea.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ginger: I loved the video, too. I wish I had a sewing machine but will try hand sewing the hem. If it doesn't work, I'll take it to the seamstress.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz &amp; Nikki: Thanks for the support! I plan to wear the outfit next week. We're going to a city about 200 miles away and will attend a concert and visit a couple of art museums with extensive gardens. Not sure of the weather but it's more likely to be warm and cold.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2309969 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 22:12:29 +0000 Anonymous 2309969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool looks!

SO NICE to see you post again :)&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is especially fun because the jeans are super trendy, and the proportions are fashion forward. You rock the look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2309901 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 15:44:56 +0000 Bonnie 2309901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All: I'm so happy I asked for advice because the responses I got are so helpful. &nbsp;</p> <p>Mirjana, Helena, kellygirl, and Clare: Thanks for the complements. Makes me think I'm on the right track.&nbsp;</p> <p>Brooklyn: What a great video. I wish I had a sewing machine but I could pin it up and press it and take it to a seamster and have it hemmed. A shorter shirt would get worn more often so it would be worth it.</p> <p>ChristelJ: Agreed that more of the tee being visible is better, I've never been able to master the half tuck. Thanks.</p> <p>kkards and Dee: Thanks for the great ideas, I thought of using a shorter jacket and will try to find one that works.&nbsp;</p> <p>Janet: Pushing back the sleeves and knotting the hem are excellent ideas that I will try. Thanks!</p> <p>RobinF: So interesting that your city features Calder art. And you're so right about long tees not getting worn.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2309900 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 15:41:05 +0000 kellygirl 2309900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are terrific! Love them both.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2309895 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 14:02:06 +0000 Claire C 2309895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With the blazer I like the first pair better, but overall I think I like the 2nd pair better. Cuffing the sleeves is a great idea.</p> <p>I always take a look at my smile in photos where I am debating between two items. It usually gives away where my heart actually is - in this case I think your smile is brighter and bigger in the 2nd so I think that may be your preference as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2309887 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 13:28:11 +0000 RobinF 2309887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Janet's idea of cuffing the blazer sleeves. Otherwise, great outfits. I have hemmed t-shirts using a double needle on my sewing machine, works great. But I am also intrigued by Brooklyn's video, may try that some time. Tees are always too long on me and then I don't wear them.</p> <p>By the way, love your tee. I live in Grand Rapids MI and we have the large red Calder in our downtown and on our street signs. Fun to see it on your tee.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2309883 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 13:04:46 +0000 Janet 2309883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried pushing up or cuffing the sleeves of the blazer? I like the jeans, and I’m always a fan of a good graphic tee. Tees are always too long on me, so I often knot them at the hem to create a little shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2309874 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 12:52:42 +0000 Helena 2309874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing that I wouldn't change a thing - YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2309863 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 12:20:30 +0000 Dee 2309863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tee looks good in both versions to my eye, and I second Kkards idea of trying a shorter topper with the baggy jeans as another option to try.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2309862 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 12:10:16 +0000 kkards 2309862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the baggy jeans! If I was wearing them I’d want 1 item that was more fitted/sleeker. Of course YMMV. So if I was wearing the sneakers with the jeans I’d trade the oversized blazer for a slimmer &amp;/or shorter version. And I’d if wanted to wear that blazer with the jeans I’d go for a polished footwear (probably pointed toe shoe).<br /> Anyway back to the tee..I’d just try blousing it, ur tucking but then pull it up a little so it sort of hangs over the waist band of the jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jeans-9#post-2309855 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 11:15:22 +0000 ChristelJ 2309855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits, and love the baggy jeans. Because it is such a great tee, I would like to see more of it. I am intrigued by Brooklyn's hemming trick. Or would a very loose semi tuck work? </p>
