I am going to air on the side of caution and pair them with booties and shooties.The trousers passed when worn this way.</p> <p>IK, thank you for suggestion for rolling the trousers, unfortunately they are unlined i do not like the reverse side of the fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-789954 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:32:09 +0000 ironkurtin 789954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the pants work at this length. They should be longer or shorter. Rolling them up would work, but not with those shoes IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-789941 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:17:17 +0000 JR 789941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look as is. The pant length doesn't bother me at all, at least not on you, and those shoes are so much fun, it would be a shame to banish them. If it works even better with ankle boots, great, but I would still miss those shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-789398 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 00:29:58 +0000 Carole 789398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have fallen for the ankle length and have regretted it. If this is so tricky for most to pull off, why do they tempt us so? I like this and would bet you are tall and it works for you. Wear them with confidence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-789382 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 00:13:51 +0000 D'Ellen 789382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, I love this outfit just as it is. But, I have a "bright eye" for ankle pants...so grain of salt here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-789149 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 19:58:15 +0000 rachylou 789149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am feelin' the trouser length. You look hip, not like you're wearing "floods." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-789138 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 19:31:52 +0000 RoseandJoan 789138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've got me, sometimes the itch to be fashionable can override all logic.</p> <p>Laura, I love the sound of your Mum's plaid trousers, it is a very 60's look. Actually it kind of reminds me of when Megan in Madmen quit her job and stayed at home in casual wear drinking wine instead.</p> <p>Thank you for the sweater love and for your suggestions for improving the look, I changed into jeans today as my booties are being re heeled. I am itching to wear both the trousers and sweater out of the house asap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788978 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 15:39:44 +0000 Angie 788978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the new pullover and your blue suede shoes! </p> <p>This length of trouser is *very* fashionable, especially with the oxfords. It's a look I have a hard time with as you know. I just can't help but feel that the outfit would be so much better if you had a little more length on the trousers when worn with flat oxfords. FWIW, that's what my eye sees. I do like the skin peeking through though. And the column of colour does wonders to create a flattering line. </p> <p>Fab clutch too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788969 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 15:29:36 +0000 LizL 788969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those shoes, but maybe not with the trousers, did you go with the booties? Sweater is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788965 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 15:22:29 +0000 Laura 788965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, Jules, I love this on you just as it is. The length is not bothering me at all, and normally it would, so I'm not sure what magic you're working but I am under the spell! This reminds me very much of photos I've seen of how my mom would dress in the 60s (except maybe the pants would be plaid). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788942 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 14:59:16 +0000 Suz 788942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your new sweater!! </p> <p>I will leave the trousers debate to those better able to judge. On the whole I think I would like them longer. But I love the sight of those shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788935 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 14:46:58 +0000 ManidipaM 788935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this look! Wouldn't dark socks bridge the hem-to-shoe gap too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788913 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 14:26:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 788913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear the clutch Jules! It's the juxtaposition of a slightly dressy clutch with a sporty outfit that would make it work brilliantly.</p> <p>That v-neck sweater is divine. I've been looking for my perfect navy v-neck since last year and still haven't found "the one" - good for you!</p> <p>Like the others have mentioned, I would also prefer the pants to be a touch longer but since you mentioned your boots would rectify this, then off you go 'cause you look gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788886 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:46:05 +0000 Claudia 788886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, navy is such a gorgeous color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788883 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:41:41 +0000 MNsara 788883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this retro sporty look on you! Great new sweater too :-)</p> <p>Those blue Docs are wonderful and perfect for the colours of the outfit, but I wish they were either longer like Inge mentioned, or short enough to show your ankle bone and look more intentional. Their fit is fab and you have the lovely limb length to handle a bit of crop (if they stay tapered enough.</p> <p>I love the idea of a clutch, but if you have a less dainty one, I'd probably try that. This outfit is strong and unfussy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788882 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:38:46 +0000 Beth Ann 788882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>R&amp;J: I so hear you about lowering the waist and gaining midriff fluff! A high waist can be a girl's best friend! If the weather allows, you could roll the bottom of the pants a bit and scrunch the sleeves, perhaps? Love the docs and I like the sporty look. Now, I don't know how this plays in the UK, but here we might top it with a puffy vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788869 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 12:56:40 +0000 RoseandJoan 788869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Inge and Shevia.</p> <p>Thankfully I have booties which rectify the length!</p> <p>Sometimes it is good to push the boundaries and take photo before you decide to leave the house I could probably pull the trousers down further on the hip to gain the length required but could end up with a muffin top.</p> <p>Inge, I felt the vibe of the clutch was off with such a sporty/ menswear look but I would be happy to be proved wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788868 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 12:44:41 +0000 Jaime 788868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is gorgeous on you, I love the shoes, but I agree with Inge about the length of trousers - although the fit looks great otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788861 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 12:09:32 +0000 Inge 788861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh your fab merino V-neck sweater has arrived. It's perfect, Jules, so happy you managed to snap that baby up!<br /> Love your poses too:-)<br /> I love all the pieces here (the trousers and docs are brilliant), but have to admit that I'd like to see the trousers a little longer for this specific look. I would prefer the skin not to be showing here, e.g. in picture 3, they way you are standing, the trouser hem and shoe are touching on your right leg, and then it suddenly works for me. Hope that makes sense.</p> <p>And do tell young lady, why wouldn't you wear that fab clutch?-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-angiespatiencei-mean-boundaries-ppl#post-788853 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 11:24:49 +0000 RoseandJoan 788853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this retro sports look scraping a pass or condemned to an epic fail?</p> <p>Please speak the truth I have not left the house.</p> <p>Details;<br /> lyle and scott navy sweater<br /> black and white pin spot trousers<br /> blue suede docs<br /> nixon watch<br /> clutch (what was I thinking) would not be worn.</p> <p>TIA </p>
