I do not want her eyes burned in any way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-cord---need-help#post-719761 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 03:22:29 +0000 Suz 719761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tell Angie to look away; I think she has a poison eye for cords! </p> <p>I am not entirely sure why. </p> <p>These look like they could be very useful. I think booties would be the best for footwear. I suspect tucking into tall boots wouldn't work because while slim, the knees would probably bag out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-cord---need-help#post-719743 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 02:44:39 +0000 deb 719743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JR, I do not mind them scrunched but I think they need to be turned up just a hem length. Maybe I will wash them in hot water and put them in the hot dryer. I will try other tops, also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-cord---need-help#post-719739 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 02:38:11 +0000 JR 719739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The white brightens up the colour very nicely. Too long is easily fixed, although you know how Angie loves scrunching.</p> <p>As for styling them, you're off to a good start. Turtlenecks, V-necks, long-sleeved Tshirts, with the accessories of your choice.</p> <p>When I look at them, I see a good pair of basic neutral pants. The sky's the limit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-cord---need-help#post-719733 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 02:32:11 +0000 deb 719733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merwoman, I tried them with my Clarks booties and did not think they looked right. I will try again and take pics. The blouse is Foxcroft that I purchased from NAS three or so years ago. I got so many compliments on it I purchased another. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-cord---need-help#post-719697 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:34:23 +0000 merwoman 719697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb - what about booties?<br /> It's amazing how much longer those pants look in #1 compared to #2. Do you think they need hemming?<br /> I think the colour is quite nice - it's very neutral, so could suit a variety of toppers.<br /> Gorgeous white shirt btw! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skinny-cord---need-help#post-719667 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:18:01 +0000 deb 719667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I received the Banana Republic Skinny cords today but I am not sure how to style them. All suggestions welcome. I tried tucking them into my black tall boots but there seemed to be too much fabric pooling above the boots. Next I tried my Burbury flats but they looked too long. They also looked too long with my loafers. What do you think? I am also thinking the cement color is really not my color. The boot pic did not was bad so I need to retake.</p> <p># 1 - Burbury flats. one leg rolled, one scrunched<br /> # 2 - loafers </p>
