You've reminded me that I have James Perse khakis from last year. They have a drawstring waist, though. But they might work. If Zara has those pants in store I will try them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-614139 Mon, 07 May 2012 16:25:19 +0000 Heather 614139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blouse comes in mint, also!</p> <p><a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-S2012/189508/710055/TOP%2BWITH%2BGUIPURE%2BSLEEVE" rel="nofollow">http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs.....E%2BSLEEVE</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-614126 Mon, 07 May 2012 15:57:11 +0000 Angie 614126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why don't you try these slouchy trousers with the lace top: </p> <p><a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-S2012/189505/632275/TROUSERS%2BWITH%2BZIPS%2BAT%2BTHE%2BHEM" rel="nofollow">http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs.....BTHE%2BHEM</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-614109 Mon, 07 May 2012 15:22:41 +0000 Laura 614109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too </p> <p>But I wanted a whole outfit.

I tried the next size up, but the rise was too long and the pockets were too low in the back, so I returned the whole outfit. It was going to be much more than a little nip in the waist. Frustrating!</p> <p>I might be able to get something similar at AT, where a looser pant fit is easier to achieve. Zara runs small, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612858 Sat, 05 May 2012 13:32:03 +0000 Amy 612858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty outfit, Laura! I don't think it looks stumpifying at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612853 Sat, 05 May 2012 13:18:09 +0000 Meghan R 612853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's leg shortening, although I agree with Angie that a size up + tailoring the waist might be your best bet. I have to do that with basically every pair of pants, but I end up feeling much more comfortable with pants that fit properly.</p> <p>Love the colors, btw:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612777 Sat, 05 May 2012 05:28:02 +0000 Scarlet 612777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think because of the low contrast, slim ankle, and heel, it works love the top and the color scheme! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612760 Sat, 05 May 2012 05:05:28 +0000 ManidipaM 612760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having the hardest time looking away from the lace top... but no stumpification visible here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612584 Fri, 04 May 2012 23:08:32 +0000 Angie 612584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a larger size is going to work! (Perhaps with some waistband adjustment?) The low contrast colour and footwear against your skin make this length look a lot more leg lengthening to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612582 Fri, 04 May 2012 23:02:54 +0000 Laura 612582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course, Angie! I'll see if I can track down a pair in the next size up.</p> <p>Suz, hilarious!! So according to spellcheck/autocorrect, the wrong pant length not only stumpifies but makes you lose 30 IQ points ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612556 Fri, 04 May 2012 22:18:13 +0000 Angie 612556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the lace top!</p> <p>Pants look a little snug, Laura. May I suggest going up a size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612548 Fri, 04 May 2012 22:12:20 +0000 Sveta 612548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612543 Fri, 04 May 2012 22:06:32 +0000 AJ 612543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh rats on the skirt not working out! Yah, there is a bit of extra fabric along the hips, but that helps my curveless shape.</p> <p>Pretty iPhone cover! Is it a bird print? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612539 Fri, 04 May 2012 22:03:32 +0000 Suz 612539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>iPhone cover is super cool! </p> <p>They don't look stupefying from what I can tell. You have expertly styled them to prevent that.</p> <p>ETA: STUMPIFYING, not stupefying!! The darn thing corrects itself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612538 Fri, 04 May 2012 22:02:28 +0000 Meredith1953 612538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From here it looks really good with the heels and I love the scarf and bag to add color! Great jacket too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612537 Fri, 04 May 2012 22:01:48 +0000 Laura 612537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, Bobeau skirt was tragic. So awful I couldn't even bear to take a photo of it. My hips looked a mile wide. No. Two miles wide! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612535 Fri, 04 May 2012 22:00:57 +0000 Laura 612535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, yays are ahead!</p> <p>It was really hard to get a decent angle with my iPhone. That might explain why I thought I looked like an ice cream cone. I have to work on that. On another note, isn't my new iPhone cover just fab? :)</p> <p>Knowing my height, I am sure the pants are longer on me than they are supposed to be. Maybe that is actually working in my favor for once! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612532 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:59:45 +0000 AJ 612532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good! I think the monochromatic skin tones of the outfit help with the leg line.</p> <p>I'm curious to know how the Bobeau skirt worked out for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612531 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:58:55 +0000 Makrame 612531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this! As others have said, it is hard to judge the length precisely with the angle of the picture, but overall you look very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612528 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:57:37 +0000 ironkurtin 612528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't really tell super fine details from the angle, but I think you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612526 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:54:10 +0000 Anonymous 612526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great, not leg shortening at all. Yummy bag and scarf, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612523 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:52:34 +0000 Jjsloane 612523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to tell with the angle, but they look flattering overall and I love them with the lace top. Sorry I'm tragically incompetent at judging pant lengths. I do think they are low contrast and slim enough to not shorten the leg, just not sure if they should be a tad longer or shorter (2 inches above ankle to qualify as ankle pants and not just too short) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612517 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:46:44 +0000 Sona 612517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm for a yay. with heels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-me-from-possible-leg-shortening-tragedy#post-612516 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:46:07 +0000 Laura 612516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pants (sort of a beige seersucker), lace top from Zara. Second photo shows the outfit dolled up with scarf, jacket and handbag. This is new territory for me and I need as many opinions as possible! Yay or nay? </p>
