I have had a couple of days when I have felt completely exhausted (some sort of combination of aches from exercise, hay fever with the onset of spring here, and end of the week tiredness) But I am feeling much better now.</p> <p>I feel a bit trepidatious about the many great suggestions to semi tuck because I don't seem to have a belt handy that fits my jeans - except a skinny one that Angie said wasn't suitable. I have one from years ago somewhere - perhaps I'll have to drag the suitcase out from under the bed! Or perhaps&nbsp;that is something else to put on the list!</p> <p>Suz and Lantana, thanks for mentioning reassuringly the camera angle. I feel better! &nbsp;And yes Lantana, working out what &nbsp;is the best proportions&nbsp;is difficult. Especially because I have some old Trinny and Susannah advice going through my head which says that people of my build should never have their crotch showing!</p> <p>Jules - LOVE the idea of keeping it simple!! And glad you think I look like a tri- athlete (not that I am one) I have been noticing recently that most women at the gym have proportionally larger thighs.</p> <p>I have one longer cardi that might work for the combination several of you suggested with a short top and will try them out tomorrow if I can manage it (it will be&nbsp;Father's day over here)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1018424 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 10:49:42 +0000 RoseandJoan 1018424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I think the jeans are a great colour and cut for you. I definitely vote to keep. The jeans will look great with everything from converse to booties to knee high boots.</p> <p>I find with this type of jean the less styling the better, throw on a t shirt, a tank top or a simple sweater and go. The jeans make the statement.</p> <p>Also, with regards to your body shape, you may see long torso and short legs but I see a tri-athlete. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1018383 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 06:33:37 +0000 anne 1018383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I did!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1018374 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 05:50:01 +0000 Lantana 1018374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anne, I think these skinnies will be good friends to you once you find a range of tops. The colour block sweater fits the bill but I'm not sure how much longer you'll be able to wear it before it is retired for spring and summer.<br /> I find the length of the teal blouse to be spot on but the peak on the sleeves and camera angle are resulting in a top heavy look.<br /> The tunic in #3 might be a tad long. This is an issue I've been having, where I want the coverage but a longer length spoils the proportions.<br /> Did you find ponte pants at Target? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1018292 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 01:48:52 +0000 catgirl 1018292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find a longer cardi over a short top to be the most flattering visually with this kind of skinnies, unless you are going to do the tunic and wear them as cool leggings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1018280 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 01:27:33 +0000 anne 1018280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. Joy I know what you mean about looser fits but skinnies are still very much worn where I am! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017911 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 17:29:08 +0000 rachylou 1017911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I for one was probably sleeping ;)</p> <p>That's a good price! I think loose fitting, long tops.</p> <p>I really want waxed jeans in brown. Yes, it's been a year and I still want brown waxed jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017720 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 13:32:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1017720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these skinnies a lot for you Anne - the color is lovely and the fit looks really good. I think the tops need a bit of tweaking but these have definite potential. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017660 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 11:49:47 +0000 Anonymous 1017660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My eye has adjusted to a less snug look in jeans, but the wine color is a wonderful "neutral" that will be fun to work with. I think the new sweater works with the purple in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017656 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 11:33:49 +0000 Suz 1017656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, wine is a great colour for skinnies. You will enjoy them.&nbsp;</p> <p>The camera angles make you look foreshortened. The image is not accurate.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm with the others on just tweaking the tops a bit to help things work. Your work outfit is fab.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017622 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:04:53 +0000 Anonymous 1017622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair very similar to these. I find they work best with a long cardi and a semi-tucked shirt, and boots! </p> <p>I think they will be versatile for you, just have to tweak the tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017615 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 09:53:29 +0000 Lyn D. 1017615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's where I like a semi tuck- the rear view is covered, and an interesting belt will draw the eye to the waistband at the front.<br />Does the front of the pant have any detail- zips or pockets?<br />If not, and they read more like leggings, I would recommend tunic or above knee dresses on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017601 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 07:51:40 +0000 anne 1017601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear that yours are getting wear Lyn.</p> <p>Am a bit worried about how much&nbsp;I'd reveal if I tucked? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017597 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 07:42:33 +0000 Lyn D. 1017597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anne. I like your work outfit in pic #4.<br />&nbsp;I find my skinnies in this colour to be quite handy, and&nbsp;wear under a dress or tunic top with booties.<br />Could you try a tucked/semi-tucked &nbsp;top and belt with these? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017574 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 06:13:08 +0000 AJ 1017574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, I meant boyfriend cardigan (long). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017561 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 05:51:31 +0000 anne 1017561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks AJ . I usually wear brown flat boots on Friday but today I thought they would cover up most of&nbsp; the new skinnies!</p> <p>What is a boyfriend sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017558 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 05:42:54 +0000 AJ 1017558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the colorblock sweater. Not sure about the first top. Seems like tops are trending shorter nowadays with all the faux and semi tucks. How about pairing it with a long boyfriend sweater to balance out the slightly shorter length? How about tall boots for today's outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017553 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 05:32:13 +0000 anne 1017553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I am wondering if this look was just too terrible or if you are all just shocked by the floordrobe revealed in these photos!!</p> <p>Well I know there are lots of much more interesting posts going on!</p> <p>I felt that the first 2 photos really showed my long body, large thigh body features up unflatteringly.</p> <p>But is there hope at all for these skinnies?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-waxed-skinnies#post-1017394 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 00:56:24 +0000 anne 1017394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These wine coloured waxed &nbsp;skinnies were on sale for $15 (down from $49) and I snapped them up on Wednesday</p> <p>I tried them out with my teal blouse (1) - too short?</p> <p>and my new sweater (2) Colour clash?</p> <p>3 and 4 are what I am wearing today<br /> for casual friday</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Comments, criticism and more styling ideas very welcome!</p>
