In fact I liked this plum sleeveless top with the pants on its own IRL - just not in the photos. I will probably have some issues figuring out different ways to style these and accepting my profile in them, but I still love them and with everybody's guidance here, will hopefully rock them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-594730 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:47:59 +0000 rae 594730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking of Alladin's Princess Jasmine from the Disney movie... but ok, MC Hammer is sexy, too! lol. </p> <p>I can't tell the diference between the lengths myself, but I still like the pants. I think some things just look different in pictures. Any chance you would wear it without a jacket? So adorable with the plum sleeveless top alone - the contrast between the body of the top and your bare arms looks so sleek and a great contrast to the pants. If you want to cover the arms, I wonder if a fitted, 3/4 sleeve cardigan would give the same effect? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-594710 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:12:24 +0000 Meredith1953 594710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look awesome "Can't touch this"! I like the longer length also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-593286 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 13:54:49 +0000 Transcona Shannon 593286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback Deborah and Dianthus - I will trust that you'd tell me if these didn't work.</p> <p>Angie - I think so too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-593282 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 13:52:03 +0000 Angie 593282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in to say that your hubby is a keeper </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-593189 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 11:14:31 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 593189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was expecting something other than gorgeous from the description but when I opened the pics was pleasantly surprised. The pants look just as good in the photos today as they did yesterday and they still look even better in person.</p> <p>I like the longer of the lengths too. The scrunch is nicer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-593149 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 06:41:18 +0000 Deborah 593149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, as others have said the longer length looks great.</p> <p>But what I really wanted to say is that I looked at the pictures before I read your post and my fist thought was how incredibly flattering these pants are on you!! So please don't be too self critical. I think we are often our most harsh critic. I think you know we are all very honest here, so do trust us when we say how fabulously fab you look in these. I think they are so great on you, that I am now starting to search for a pair here:)</p> <p>And so lovely to read how you feel about your hubby, he sounds like a wonderful guy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-593040 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:17:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 593040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I gotta tell ya Amy &amp; Suz - it will be our 25th wedding anniversary in August and he's still my best friend and love of my life.</p> <p>(and thanks for the reassurance Amy!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-593036 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:15:08 +0000 ManidipaM 593036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Longer length, please! And you look fabulous in that purple ruffled top with these! </p> <p>Ok. Make way.<br /> For Sexy Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-593035 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:15:06 +0000 Amy 593035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I've said this before, but your husband sounds like a doll! How could you feel anything less than wonderful when you have such an enthusiastic (and funny) admirer?</p> <p>Don't believe the camera, Shannon. These pants looks beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-593029 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:12:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 593029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I literally laughed out loud Suz when he made his comment because I thought of you - let's see there's been: Sexy Mime, Sexy Sailor, Sexy Secretary, and now Sexy MC Hammer. Have I missed any? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-593025 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:08:13 +0000 Suz 593025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will you please blow your hubby a kiss for me? I think you should actually make a little booklet together. Or do it as a blog. Just your outfit photo for the day and your husband's quote. Talk about a winning combination!! </p> <p>These pants are AMAZING. I have not been online all day and only got to them now. Glad I didn't miss them. What a lucky find. I concur about the longer length. Can't wait to see the eventual outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-593022 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:52:14 +0000 christieanne 593022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are cool - very cutting edge. I like the idea of 1 inch shorter. No worries on the pics - it's a shiny fabric too isn't it so that makes a difference :)<br /> You will have fun with these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-593015 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:45:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 593015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok ladies - the longer length it is. Because of the fabric and the pleats/pintucks at the ankle, I will be taking these to my seamstress to shorten rather than do myself, so won't be wearing them officially for about a week. </p> <p>I both love these pants and am terrified of them at the same time - the pictures are kind of messing with my head. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-593010 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:38:56 +0000 Angie 593010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Longer version is perfect! </p> <p>SOOO elegant and sassy :)</p> <p>*happy sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-592954 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:41:14 +0000 Amy 592954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're really elegant looking, Shannon, and do prefer the longer length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-592915 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:50:54 +0000 HelenInCanada 592915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these, Shannon - they look like silk (sorry, can't recall if you mentioned the fabric)! I like the longer length (just 1 inch shorter) as well. They look like a dream to wear.</p> <p>How hysterical is your DH! I'm impressed he even knows who MC Hammer is - LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-592913 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:46:34 +0000 Anonymous 592913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your husband is too cute! My vote is for the longer leg length. These fit you like a dream Shannon. There is no pulling or tugging anywhere! You really *had* to have these; it was fate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slouchy-pants-hem-help-quote-for-suz#post-592907 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:41:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 592907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As was determined in my previous thread <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-slouchy-pants-t-shirt-magenta-blazer" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....nta-blazer</a> I need to shorten the legs on my new slouchy pants. So here are some pics with the legs pinned at two different lengths - my right leg is pinned at one inch shorter and my left leg is pinned at one and half inches shorter. Because there are two tiny pleats about 3 inches from the original hem on the legs, it's almost hard to tell the difference between these two - I need to retain some scrunch not only for aesthetic purposes but also not to interfere with these little pleats. What do you think works better - the longer or shorter version?</p> <p>Now I will be honest with my YLFers and say when I looked at these photos, I was positively mortified...NOT flattering in the least IMO. However, I'm reminding myself that the camera is shooting at a slight upward angle due to where it sits for my photos and that standing does not show the pants at the their best, which is the fluidity when I move. </p> <p>Dianthus - would you say that's true? Better IRL? </p> <p>I like Rae and Una's suggestion of a short fitted jacket with the pants - in the absence of the perfect jacket, I've just popped on my peachy-pink Gap cropped jacket to check out the proportions. What do you think?</p> <p>I asked my hubby what he thought of these because they are so different and in many ways, not as figure flattering and his comment was "I like them...they're kind of like a sexy MC Hammer".....Suz, I knew you'd get a kick out of that!</p> <p>ETA: Just realized I cut off the back of my legs in pic #3 so no help at all - sorry for the butt shot for nothing! Actually I'm not sure any of these photos really help...</p> <p>I've added two new pics - ankle close ups. Pic #6 is the longer version and pic #7 is the shorter version. </p>
