I enjoyed reading all the comments and ideas. It sounds like either length works depending on the vibe is going for.<br /> Viva, I can also wear the pants at their full length that comes about 3 inches above my ankles and has cute little fabric covered buttons, but that length looks off to my eye.<br /> Aida, I don't have a yellow blazer but think I have marked one for consideration in Finds. I have an orange blazer that could be interesting and bright. I'll add a yellow blazer to my short list of items to look for. I'd love having one. Thank you for the idea.<br /> Angie, a Killer! I am thrilled. Thank you for giving your preference.<br /> Aleta, I do indeed have a funeral capsule and it has been wonderful to have when one's thoughts are not very coherent. I found the need when my mother died unexpectedly and I ended up having to try to find an outfit at a small town Walmart. And vowed never again. That jacket has been to lots of funerals.<br /> Tulle, good idea to add a necklace. A pendant on a chain is usually not too bad except on the hottest days.<br /> Jenn, yes all silk is the best! I hand wash it and hang to dry, so not even fussy.<br /> Unfrumped, thank you for such a complete reply. I pulled that dark leopard handbag because originally I was going to wear leopard flats. It is screaming for something lighter and I don't own the right piece. Pewter is my fallback option.<br /> Thank You, everyone who stopped by and commented. It helps so much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514593 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 15:12:54 +0000 viva 1514593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shorter length pant but think it's fab that you have versatility in these pants. The top is fantastic. What a great summer look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514412 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 03:17:50 +0000 Jaime 1514412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! The blouse is a great shape, the shoes are perfect here and the whole thing is flattering, current and chic! </p> eta love the knee length! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514298 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 21:33:28 +0000 Aida 1514298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Add me to the rave reviews, particularly of #2. I MUCH prefer the shorter length on you. My brain is vaguely recalling that you have a yellow blazer, am I way off? If you do, that could be a super fun twinset sort of pairing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514264 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 20:43:14 +0000 Angie 1514264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer, and I like #2 best.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514259 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 20:39:35 +0000 catgirl 1514259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want that gorgeous top! 2 is perfect and so summer lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514245 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:50:34 +0000 Aleta 1514245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a funeral capsule!!!!!!!

I like both pant lengths, though I slightly prefer the longer length. I don't know how you could improve this, unless you find a necklace that adds an extra dimension.&nbsp; But when it's hot, jewelry becomes unappealing, I know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514185 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 17:22:09 +0000 Ruth M 1514185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in citron!&nbsp; What a beautiful silk top.&nbsp; I think it looks great with black - not too much contrast at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514143 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 15:52:27 +0000 Thistle 1514143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, so fab!!&nbsp; Terrific way to SYC!&nbsp; I love the top, especially, the dramatic cut and color, and the sandals really do lengthen the leg line while still letting you stay cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514139 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 15:45:22 +0000 Jenn 1514139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both pants lengths. I think I just love the outfit in general. The color, the shoes, everything. My favorite thing about this look is knowing that it's all silk. The fabrication elevates the outfit to classy and elegant </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514135 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 15:39:32 +0000 unfrumped 1514135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look of this top, and all the outfits work. &nbsp;I prefer #1 and agree it just looks more dressy-casual for the top, whereas #2 is intentionally sporty, not necessary but okay, and I like the pant-shoe proportions in 1.<br />The black shoes are perfect for the modern ankle-pant look, and I think the black jacket works fine if a topper is needed, but maybe you could SYC for handbag or even different topper for a lighter look. A print&nbsp; or 2-tone handbag with some similar colors would be fab, but not necessary. Metallics can be weird with citrus brights, so would have to experiment. Pure white might interfere with the nice intentional color palette&nbsp; you've got going. Sorry not much help but just looking for more "lightening" ideas without messing it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514117 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 15:10:28 +0000 Anonymous 1514117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a&nbsp;lovely top! I think I prefer the outfit without the jacket as it looks 'enough' and I don't mind either pant length as they give a slightly different vibe. I guess maybe the length in #1 wins by an edge perhaps. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514100 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 14:05:31 +0000 jackiec 1514100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, Joy!

I think both pant lengths look fine. The shorter length reads a little more casual while the longer one looks a little dressier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1514064 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 12:45:35 +0000 Word Lily 1514064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this top!

That's a lovely top and perfect outfit for an appointment. You look so pulled together and stylish.

I love the length at which you are wearing the pants in #1. It's elegant. Those shoes are very cool, I love seeing them with your outfits. Joy you seem to have a very generous wardrobe with lots of variety? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1513987 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 06:41:28 +0000 Maneera 1513987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that top on you Joy. It's killer! You look fantastic! I don't think the jacket is necessary at all. I love the pants at both lengths, but I prefer #1 as this is a dressier top. #2 is perfect for a cool casual look that's very modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1513979 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 06:00:44 +0000 Caro in Oz 1513979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is my favourite - I like the summery feel that seeing your arms &amp; legs brings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-july-citron-and-black#post-1513971 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 05:06:10 +0000 Anonymous 1513971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Continuing my June challenge of finding new outfits in my summer closet, I needed to dress for an appointment on an hot humid day. The Capri pants are silk pull on from last year. I usually wear them rolled but show them two lengths here. The top has a bit of diagonal drape. It is also silk, Classiques Entiere from about two summers ago. The silk jacket is from my funeral capsule and is a textured silk. It turned out to be too hot to wear every indoors.<br /> What do you think? Is this too much contrast? What is the best length of the pants? How can I improve or vary this outfit? </p>
