I have a hard time finding summer shorts/pants too. If you wait a month or two the stores will probably be full of shorter summer pants. It might be too early to have much variety right now.</p> <p>Angie's two posts about clamdiggers and walk shorts really helped me figure out why I hated pictures of myself in the mid-calf length capri pants and define what length of pant to look for (and what type of top to wear with them):<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/05/14/clamdiggers-the-summer-skinny/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/05/.....er-skinny/</a><br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/17/walk-shorts-and-capris/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/.....nd-capris/</a></p> <p>Last summer I bought two slightly more dressy walking shorts at Target (black and a subtle tan plaid) that I actually wore to work a couple times with heels, but were wonderfully cool for hot summer days. I also found a pair of slim denim clamdiggers at Ann Taylor on clearance mid-summer. I'm sure they'll come out with more this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-atl-items#post-53465 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 20:19:31 +0000 Antje 53465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, I'm with Maya. The capri length is rarely ever a good choice; long pants or clamdiggers/walk shorts will be more flattering in most cases. </p> <p>I like the eyelet jacket! Do you really need a bigger size? It's hard to see on the photo, but what I see looks real cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-atl-items#post-53460 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 19:53:37 +0000 Maya 53460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the capris are out--not because you're a pear, but because the length makes them unflattering, and they would be unflattering on most people I think. I think walk shorts or clams are pretty universally flattering. If clams are too skinny for your comfort, stick to walk shorts. This length is making you look a bit squatter than you really are.</p> <p>As for the pencil skirt, I actually think it's not high enough and that's why you're getting the accentuation where you don't want it (though I don't think it looks nearly as bad as you think). Pencil skirts really have to hit at the natural waist, IMO. The A-line skirt seems a little long to me, but if it were shorter it might look too little-girlish. I think you would look great in a more structured A-line skirt or a high-waisted pencil skirt though.</p> <p>It's kind of hard to see the eyelet jacket since it's black on black, but it seems like a keeper and you obviously love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-atl-items#post-53456 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 18:42:27 +0000 Lee Hovey 53456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did some window shopping at ATL for fun today. I tried on shorts (no pictures), pants and skirts.</p> <p>I am unsure about the shape/length of the capris. I am an hourglass with pear tendencies, so shorts and capris are hard for me. I know I need a longer top for these, but otherwise...<br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/Kendyrah/Fashion?authkey=Gv1sRgCNf-1-GZ99jc_AE#5310887467595408978" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/Ke.....7595408978</a></p> <p>I also tried on a floral pencil and floral pleated a-line. The pencil was too high cut for me I think. It accentuated my monthly bloat, terribly. The a-line is a gorgeous piece but I think it might be too puffy for my shape.<br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/Kendyrah/Fashion?authkey=Gv1sRgCNf-1-GZ99jc_AE#5310887483019715794" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/Ke.....3019715794</a></p> <p>Lastly I tried on the navy eyelet jacket, and it is GORGEOUS!! I would probably purchase one size up from the one I tried on, and I would wear it with a cami or tank, not the black shirt pictures. But I must have it! :)<br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/Kendyrah/Fashion?authkey=Gv1sRgCNf-1-GZ99jc_AE#5310887515010028210" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/Ke.....5010028210</a> </p>
