That's what you see - but then you see it *all* in NYC :) Thanks for posting LOP. I'll adapt the look with 1.5 inch heels.

(As a consummate wearer of high heels, however, I totally understand the crossed legs pose - it feels more comfortable and stable when "at ease.") I really enjoyed another of his videos on the same site - the all black look. Now *that* I can embrace with both arms, and a little kiss on the nose. LOL.

If you cross and lock your legs together like that maybe you won't fall over LOL!

I like it (the look, not the pose), but can't do the 4" heels.

I love his On the Street videos. I wish I could wear those heels. Late Bloomer on "On the Street | A Stretch of Leg" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-street-a-stretch-of-leg#post-285473 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 00:03:30 +0000 Late Bloomer 285473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As I looked at that video my first thought was that it was perfect for me as my best feature is my long legs. But I am waaaay to old for most of those looks. Then it occurred to me that though I can't copy the looks I can do what I can to feature my legs. I can wear skinny jeans if they aren't skin tight. So the next challenge is to avoid cutting off that length. I already find I prefer cardis and sweater that come just a little below my waist and that boyfriend jackets or cardis really shorten my legs. But what was most interesting to me was the talk about short booties compared to tall boots. Yesterday I wore a dress with charcoal tights and matching ballet flats during the day and loved the look.Heels would have been nice but I was on my feet all day. It was getting a little cool in the evening so I switched to my boots that come a little below my knees to go to dinner with DH. I used to love that look and last night it seemed like the boots just made my legs look short and stumpy; It's amazing how our eye and sense of what we like changes as fashion changes.

LOL Aida on "On the Street | A Stretch of Leg" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-street-a-stretch-of-leg#post-285462 Mon, 24 Jan 2011 23:44:53 +0000 Aida 285462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it too! I've just recently worked up the guts to start wearing this type of look (just a few though), but I've loved it for a long time. I hope it doesn't go away before I can get more wear out of it MsMary on "On the Street | A Stretch of Leg" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-street-a-stretch-of-leg#post-285458 Mon, 24 Jan 2011 23:36:12 +0000 MsMary 285458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it! And his narration is such fun!

Instead I wear my 4" heel boots with knee-length skirts and jeans. I guess since I'm a couple hundred miles south of NYC, it's still fashionable.

Apparently not so...

"The look that dominates high fashion in New York is a long stretch of leg, ankle boots and a new posture." <a href="http://video.nytimes.com/video/2011/01/21/style/1248069580659/on-the-street-a-stretch-of-leg.html" rel="nofollow">http://video.nytimes.com/video.....f-leg.html</a>
