These women (former fashion editors, European stylists etc) seem to live in linen , cotton, body con little silk knit tops, luxe leather thong sandals and expensive gold jewellery. Somehow the look eludes me . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121/page/2#post-2204321 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 18:22:30 +0000 Jonesy 2204321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your hair and your blue pedicure! And the puffy slides look chic and comfy! I hear you on the jeans dilemma--which ones will slightly stretch and be comfy, vs. which ones will bag out completely is an impossible thing to evaluate when you first buy them, so it's always a gamble. I struggle with white jeans (and just cut my newest pair into cutoffs after trying unsuccessfully to wear them out of the house for maybe 4 weeks, LOL), but I think both of these look great on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121/page/2#post-2204286 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 15:19:47 +0000 Suz 2204286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I am totally in love with the hair!! My new chop allows me to do this with the right product (at least this week, lol) and it's so fun!&nbsp;</p> <p>You look fantastic in this outfit -- relaxed, chic, easy.&nbsp;</p> <p>I, too, am still awaiting my second jab. Hang in there. It will get better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121/page/2#post-2204285 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 15:16:15 +0000 catherine 2204285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute hair, cute outfit, cute sandals, and fantastic toes. Thanks for posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204259 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 14:02:55 +0000 Helena 2204259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this - both pair of jeans. Simple, modern, with just the right amount of trendiness - your signature formula. I am amazed that you spotted the puffy sandal trend (Janet too!) ... totally agree with you, that with lockdowns I have no clue what my best friends are wearing, let alone anyone else!</p> <p>Currently 12 degrees here! :O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204252 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 13:53:19 +0000 NancyW 2204252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair color is soft, the cut angular and the combination is terrific. Sweater looks fine and might FEEL fine when fall arrives. Or not. Remember: Photos lie. I bought a pair of Jag jeans because of the way you described the fit! Most worn pants this season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204240 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 12:51:19 +0000 Janet 2204240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the jeans that bag out — so frustrating! But I wouldn’t know it to look at the photos. You’re looking great — hair color and makeup terrific, lovely pedi, and I am a fan of those sandals! I agree with a comment upthread about chunky cardigans perhaps being easier to style in a low contrast outfit, but not being a cardigan wearer, I’m far from an expert, LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204230 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 12:33:04 +0000 RobinF 2204230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans can be so frustrating but I actually think these both look great on you. I kind of like jeans loose though so there is that. Fun sandals and hair!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204229 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 12:29:56 +0000 lyn67 2204229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great in these white jeans, I don't see them bagged out (but can imagine is frustrating to experience in person)!. Nr 3 is a great outfit, love the puffy slippers and the subtle make up and combed up hair-does it stay like that for the day? YLF Lisa,&nbsp; I always love a bl&amp;w outfit, the chunky cardi included, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204193 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 06:29:40 +0000 Mirjana 2204193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can say that you look great as usual and the cardigan is perfect to my mind. I understand what you mean about jeans, I don't like 100 % cotton for that reason. The puffy sandals are cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204185 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 05:28:31 +0000 Minaminu 2204185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think taking a selfie is always very difficult as there are so many things to consider the light, the angle, the mirror... There have been a few posts on how to take a good picture and I am still struggling! </p> <p>You look great on your outfits and I admire your hairstyle and colour! The make up is great too! </p> <p>White jeans are a HEWI, I have been looking for some for quite a while! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204173 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 03:55:41 +0000 Anonymous 2204173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isa, you look great and the cardigan does not look chunky. I was expecting a knit with heavy yarn. The puffy sandals are cute - classic with a twist, they look comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204164 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 01:13:32 +0000 Anonymous 2204164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks shevia And how true about old Levi’s and similar denim not stretching out like this . I don’t know what’s going on with jeans anymore ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204154 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 01:03:15 +0000 rachylou 2204154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are very good! Carla is right about your eye for a good shoe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204153 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 01:01:26 +0000 Jaime 2204153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First thing is your hair - I love it! Makeup is subtle and beautiful. Our mask mandate was recently removed and I have been enjoying lipstick while it lasts (ever skeptical here). I hope things improve in your area soon.<br />Not all 100% cotton is alike. Old Levis barely stretch at all in my experience. I don't know what the factor is, but it is not supposed to bag out and I hope you can get a refund. Regardless, you look good! I like the chunky sweater actually. Of course the ultimate leg lengthening would require lighter shoes. I would stick with the black ones. Welcome back, glad to see you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204150 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 00:27:28 +0000 Bijou 2204150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and commiserations on the white jeans, something that is very hard to tell until you get them home and actually wear and launder them.</p> <p>For me, flattering white jeans are HEWI - over the years I have had two pairs of white jeans that were perfect and my most flattering jeans ever and so many misses in my efforts to find the replacement. Your second pair look great and the puffy slides are super fun and highlight your very cool pedicure. A great and fashion forward look that could take you anywhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204144 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 23:50:47 +0000 ChristelJ 2204144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in the photos and always so stylish, including in both pairs of white jeans. I agree they can feel tricky though. I adore the puffy sandals and also your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204137 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 22:17:03 +0000 Irina 2204137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Roxanna thanks but my photos are not great! I do edit them on my iPad and stretched them a bit vertically to correct the camera angle. This is why my shoes always look like size 12! LOL<br />Taking selfies is hard, there are so many issues like posture (how to show an outfit and retain a human form?) or movement.<br />&nbsp;I struggle with my chunky cardigan, too - adding bulk to where I already have it is not the brightest idea. I’m trying it with v-neck camisoles to see if it will help to diminish the volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204135 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 22:10:06 +0000 Anonymous 2204135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Roxanna - I was on a self imposed break while considering the forum dynamics . My level of patience and ability to overlook isn’t always what it should be - and I needed to chill out . </p> <p>Re I think you’re right about short chunky cardigans looking best with lower contrast bottoms, and I’ll have to keep that in mind . I now own 3 of them and will not be buying any more . I think you’re right too about picture angles telling a different story - I know when I try to angle my phone so the camera is level with my body and not my head the visual is completely different . Still - time and time again I’m reminded that white jeans are tricky , and that they require more care in styling . I’m usually in “ throw it on and go “ mode . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204114 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 20:58:44 +0000 Roxanna 2204114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa - so nice to see you here again! a few thoughts:</p> <p>First - IGNORE the photo. I feel liek every photo I take and post here makes me look 3 sizes larger and 4" shorter, with short legs (remember the horrible coat photos ?!?) Meanwhile people like Irina seems to take perfect and polished and proportional photos every time. (Hi Irina! - I am in awe!) So don't take the photo too seriously if you liek the look in person - my guess is that because they are low contrast with your skin and you have a low vamp on that sandal, they actually lengthen your leg line.</p> <p>Same same on the short cardis. I have actually collected quite a few and like them, but they all seem to cut me off and stumpify me. I have resolved to wear them only with low-contrast bottoms (though honestly i see no such issue on you.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204104 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 19:45:49 +0000 Irina 2204104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My black MD jeans are 100% cotton and the cream pair is 99% cotton. Neither has stretched but my 100% cotton, altered white jeans from Zara stretched. Don’t know what to make of it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204103 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 19:38:07 +0000 Style Fan 2204103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit on you.&nbsp; Very pulled together.&nbsp; My problem with jeans is that I never know if they are going to stretch out or not.&nbsp; I have a pair that are unwearable because they stretch out so much.&nbsp; I have another pair that did not stretch out and are too tight.&nbsp; Both are 100% cotton.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204095 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 19:13:14 +0000 Sal 2204095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this Lisa- modern and simple with trendy shoes and cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204094 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 19:11:35 +0000 slim cat 2204094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the last pic with slim white jeans - looks good to my eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204088 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 19:04:46 +0000 Anonymous 2204088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the spiky edgy hair.

I like the cardigan, the black and white, and even the puffy sandals though I was a nay on Angie's survey.&nbsp; Hair and makeup A+!</p> <p>Second - in general, the jeans look fine and not leg-shortening to my eye.</p> <p>Third - I've had it with 100% cotton! I bought those Everlane summer weight jeans last summer, and they're just not comfortable. I'm going to sell the grey pair on eBay and decide about the light blue denim, which fits better. They didn't stretch like you are describing, but they sure were not comfortable. I hope you can maybe get a refund. You should try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffy-sandals-wiw-62121#post-2204077 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 18:27:21 +0000 Anonymous 2204077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh the outfit would never be worn without the cardigan - not sure why I even took the pic &nbsp;! &nbsp;I'm really frustrated with these jeans now . Fresh out of the dryer, and I've only had them on for a couple of hours, and they are huge and poochy in the front. &nbsp;This was the first time laundering them. &nbsp;Also frustrated with these pictures, which always remind me that white jeans can be very leg-shortening and stumpifying. I'm not the tallest person around, although my legs are decently long in proportion to my torso, but white bottoms without a tucked top just look frumpy. And no way am I tucking into something so bulky in the fly and crotch area. &nbsp;So what does one do? &nbsp;Just consider it a lesson learned not to buy 100% cotton denim in your usual size ? &nbsp;I'm wondering about requesting a return - not as if they were super expensive ($90 I think) , but still!&nbsp;</p> <p>And Carla, yes, they are exactly as you describe - thick, rougher hand/feel, 100% cotton. &nbsp;The thickness is why i liked them - no show-through, and they have a more authentic denim look. &nbsp;I'm thoroughly confused now. </p>
