Ditto to trying the jeans with ankle boots and a more fitted top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321/page/2#post-2216884 Tue, 17 Aug 2021 20:00:18 +0000 Laurie 2216884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First - your hair looks AMAZING. Just love it, the cut is so perfect for you.</p> <p>We share that wide leg struggle. I agree with an earlier comment about volume and volume. I bet that wearing it with something more fitting on top, and ankle boots as we move into fall - which adds some height maybe -&nbsp; will make you love these jeans a ton. This is totally a nice outfit, but I would probably be fussing over it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321/page/2#post-2216719 Mon, 16 Aug 2021 17:58:57 +0000 Roxanna 2216719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that colour rust on you! And yes to hating things that snag so quickly...</p> <p>as for the second outfit - I don't think I have ever seen you in a colourful print blouse before! love it!&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually love it on you, and love the silhouette, but can I just say that I sympathize so completely. As you know, I put together outfits like this all the time, feel great in them, come home and look at the pic and think 'gosh, with my body type, i really should NOT be wearing this.' and then go into a period of figure flattery dressing because i think it looks better on me, and then get bored by those looks because they are timeless and not modern enough for me, and then I go back to different silhouettes, and the cycle continues...</p> <p>Looking at your photo, I can see that it is maybe not the most conventionally flattering on your figure, but it is still flattering and modern with an element of trendy. I think if you wore tunics and skinnies all the time like your friends, you would be losing out on that trendy part of you.</p> <p>My best friends where skinnies and tunics all the time. But they are not adventurous in fashion, and they don't want to be. I do - so i don't mind if I am not dressed like them, or if my looks aren't as conventionally flattering. If i wore skinnies all the time for 5 years because they were flattering, I would be so bored and unhappy. So I am true to myself, and my version of myself in my head - even though that doesn't always translate to the mirror.</p> <p>Through through my silhouettes exercise, I have learned my figure flattery priorities, and that has helped. For example, from Suz i learned that I have a short waist, and regular-to-short legs, but a regular-to-long rise.&nbsp; I don't like emphasizing my rise because to me, it looks blocky and squat on 5'4" me. Since I want my legs to look longer and my rise to look shorter, i wear heels or pointy toes with my wide legs, and I never tuck in and leave a whole expanse of rise showing - I will faux tuck so that the top falls asymmetrically and cuts my rise and elongates my legs. Knowing my FF priorities, and the little tweaks that bring them to life, has made all the difference.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321/page/2#post-2216714 Mon, 16 Aug 2021 17:21:32 +0000 Style Fan 2216714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit.&nbsp; I have said this before, but I am always amazed at how you put together your outfits.&nbsp; The nails, jewellery, make-up, colours, etc.&nbsp; So gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216700 Mon, 16 Aug 2021 15:55:26 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2216700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore this color palette on you and all the thoughtful touches that bring the look together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216581 Sun, 15 Aug 2021 23:21:06 +0000 Angie 2216581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your natural hair colour is coming through beautifully!&nbsp;</p> <p>I am sure you are a stylish inspiration to friends and peers, despite them not voicing it out loud :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216499 Sun, 15 Aug 2021 16:31:18 +0000 CarolS 2216499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that Anthro blouse on you -- colour and style both -- as Angie said -- KILLER.

If you want to evolve your style sometimes you have to have the courage of your convictions and push ahead, leaving your peers behind. </p> <p>Love the blouse and the pants. The whole outfit looks interesting, arty and seasonally attuned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216209 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 21:09:34 +0000 Ana 2216209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jeans!

The top is gorgeous and I think those cream jeans look truly fab on you. This is a perfect summertime look, but I agree that that top will work beautifully for you in fall.</p> <p>Mirror selfies with phones are prone to all sorts of proportion challenges, IMHO, which is why I'm a true fussbudget and will only post WIWs using a camera on a tripod! Seems to result in "true" proportions, but OTOH, means I rarely make the time to set it up and take WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216161 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 18:59:15 +0000 Anonymous 2216161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie ! That’s a voice of support I love This is my natural hair with the exception of the few blonde bits in front that are the remains of my old highlights . It’s going to be ages before those disappear ! </p> <p>Thanks Suz - a few of you have the mirror selfie mastered , but it still eludes me .

Amazing! Love the pretty blouse, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I honestly thing wide legs are hard to photograph (at least in mirror selfies). The angle means you are foreshortened. This looks like a great outfit and so glad you got a fun shopping day!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216150 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 18:06:14 +0000 Angie 2216150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5 and #6 = KILLER to the POWER of KILLER</p> <p>LOVE!</p> <p>Beautifully polished and on trend!

I'll admit, though, I often feel quite stumpy when I see photos of myself in my wideleg jeans. Mostly, I try to just forget about that and get on with things, because they feel pretty great to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216090 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 15:38:42 +0000 Anonymous 2216090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're all right in that photos aren't truly representative of how one looks.These pants ,for example., are quite a bit above my ankle . &nbsp;My head is also not that long. It's likely &nbsp;camera operator incompetence- but still jarring to see your own photos and wonder if that's what you really look like!</p> <p>I could definitely wear the jeans with a more fitted top and maybe a longer line cardigan for vertical integrity. &nbsp;I will also wear the printed blouse with narrower bottoms ( I have a pair of slim leg, rust cotton "jeans" which will look great with this blouse, as will regular blue denim). &nbsp; I chose this combo as an experiment - probably won't repeat it again. &nbsp;I have a pair of straight &nbsp;leg cropped flare jeans in cream coming to me today - and hope that they will be a workhorse for fall in a way the wide legs won't be. &nbsp;The cream was a fun change-up from basic blue denim.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216075 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 15:01:15 +0000 Anonymous 2216075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm agreeing that the camera angle might not be the best because I really like the outfit, on you, and think it would look even better in person. Some outfits just don't read well flat.</p> <p>Both pieces are made of fabrics that have real body to them, you could also try combining the jeans with a knit top and/or a more open neck, v or otherwise.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216071 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 14:33:10 +0000 catherine 2216071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing outfit. Perhaps your friends will use you as inspiration, as do I. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216054 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 13:18:22 +0000 kkards 2216054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So all your friends are not cool and are old LOL (I’m sure we’ve all seen/read this)&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2021/02/10306887/tiktok-skinny-jeans-uncool-millennials">https://www.refinery29.com/en-.....illennials</a></p> <p>I think like many of us here, we want to stretch your fashion wings, and sometimes it just feels like we’ve pushed it a little to far, but really its just that those around us haven’t caught up yet….</p> <p>i think the jeans look great, and i love that your wearing an interesting and colorful top. But i also hear what gryffin is saying, sometimes it works best to work with one push our wings item and to keep the rest safe and totally in our comfort zone.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216052 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 13:09:46 +0000 bj1111 2216052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First 11/10 with the anthro blouse. If you sized down, it would emphasize rather than skim.</p> <p>Second, quoting you from my similar thread “ Both pieces are beautiful, as are you in them I'm ultra self conscious about my non-flat stomach and relate to your sensitivity. I don't see an issue here.”</p> <p>Admire your style and how effortless and authentic you look. Even more impressive because I know how much thought you put in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216050 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 12:57:47 +0000 Irina 2216050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous blouse, Lisa! I like the outfit a lot!<br />I like the cream jeans on you but I agree, the wide leg jeans are not easy to style compared to a straight leg. Camera angle distorted the image and I’m sure proportions are better IRL. Have you tried to pin jeans a bit shorter to show more ankle?&nbsp;<div>As for wearing fashion forward looks, how did it make you feel?</div><div>I have a feeling that you don’t strive to fit in but rather stand out :)<br /><div><br /></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216037 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 12:12:35 +0000 Janet 2216037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That rust top is so good on you! I love rust but have to wear it with other cooler colors on my skin tone. (There was a Zadig &amp; Voltaire sweater in a sort of oatmeal color with colored sparkly stars in that boutique yesterday that would look so good on you!)</p> <p>I really like the colors and print of that Anthro blouse too — good find! I have not found much at Anthro this year. </p> <p>I think this all looks marvelous — the jeans are current and I see nothing problematic about how they look on you. I don’t find any of this unflattering! Nails and jewelry are on point! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216032 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 11:19:28 +0000 Preppy Pear 2216032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang! You look fantastic in those jeans!<br /> Rust suits you so well and the Anthro blouse is gorgeous. I like it with the jeans.<br /> I know what you mean - my friends are all still in skinnies and I am not. I do see some women out and about in wide leg jeans, but they are all teens/college age and pairing them with crop tops, and I am going for a very different look with mine. Your chic take is something I can aspire to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216031 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 10:58:17 +0000 gryffin 2216031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa - I think what you are negatively reacting to is the volume on volume. The blouse and jeans look nice on but together they look good it’s a real JFE. Why don’t you try each piece with a slim support act. Put on a slim black top and blazer w the white jeans. Now you have your edge bottoms but you feel sharp, graphic edgy but in a little more traditionally flattering way. Same with the top. It’s awesome but maybe slim joggers. You have a great eye. But I think when you try to mix statements together it pushes you beyond your comfort zone. Only you know it that’s correct. Why not try mixing only one statement piece in an outfit. Once you become more comfortable with it you might have a higher tolerance for pushing the envelope. But I think you always look terrific!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216030 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 10:38:40 +0000 The Cat 2216030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look SO fab and cool! The pants are great and likely have lots of styling possibilities. (For instance, I can easily imagine them worn with sleek ankle boots, a pullover and a moto jacket--for a chic fall look.) Your colourful styling here is fun, artistic/creative and personal. The shape of the pants exudes relaxed elegance, and the colour is an excellent neutral for your colouring and beautifully echoes the light stripes in your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216017 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 08:26:58 +0000 Jaime 2216017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You tricked me! I became so engaged in admiring how your nails and makeup and hair and clothes and shoes and jewelry coordinate in the first few pics that the outfit took me for surprise - in a good way! I actually think the jeans are very flattering and your friends probably were thinking it is time to update their jeans when they saw you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216010 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 05:40:11 +0000 Bijou 2216010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Kelly, you look gorgeous and those jeans are flattering. I am sure your friends think of you as their most stylish friend. The knit top is a beautiful colour on you, perhaps it will make a better layering piece once it cools down and you can wear your blazers with it for structure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-and-about-in-cream-wide-leg-jeans-81321#post-2216004 Sat, 14 Aug 2021 04:44:19 +0000 kellygirl 2216004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just gorgeous!
