Especially as she has seen your incredibly awesome stylings:). I love it all. There is nothing that first work. Wear and enjoy. The cropped flares look amazing on you...now I want some!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735664 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 09:13:38 +0000 Brooklyn 1735664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the cropped pants look great on you! My favourites are 5, 7 and 11. I think the camilla dress is an excellent choice for your reunion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735639 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 06:55:42 +0000 WB 1735639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cropped pants look great on you in all of your pictures. I think the lack of confidence in how to wear them must be from it being an unfamiliar look still. The pale pink is fine but not as stunning as the orange or as dramatic as the black or white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735578 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 03:31:14 +0000 Jaime 1735578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are fantastic. All of these work - I am partial to the white top you made, which is timeless. You will knock them dead whatever you wear to the reunion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735577 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 03:28:05 +0000 anne 1735577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes your second white blouse picture looks great. I think all that had happened was your lifting your arms to take the picture had lifted blouse to create the shape that I was thinking.</p> <p>Excellent all round!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735573 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 03:18:09 +0000 Cococat 1735573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much everyone. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I'm feeling more confident about wearing them now! </p> <p>Thank you <b>Firecracker</b> for commenting on the blush top, and my blouse. I used to enjoy sewing but I don't seem to have the time anymore. This was from a Vogue designer pattern and I loved the wrap style. </p> <p><b>Angie</b>, I'm so pleased that you like my experiments because you were my inspiration to buy these. Thank you <b>Texstyle, Diane, Suz, Robin, Tanya, Aquamarine, Bijou, Tracy, Helen, Sally and KiwiSally</b>. <b>Suz</b>, thank you for the lovely comment about my ankles! These pants really do highlight ankles don't they.<b> Greenjeans</b>, my favourites are with the jackets too. To me these pants were made for jackets and boots with fitted ankles. </p> <p>I'm pleased that you all like my choice to wear my Camilla caftan for the school reunion. <b>JAileen</b>, your comment made me chuckle. I had some unwelcome attention from one of my old schoolmates at the last reunion (he was probably mortified when he sobered up), so probably Camilla is a better choice. :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735505 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 00:35:49 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1735505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, my goodness. I like every single outfit. They are all spectacular, and there is so much beautiful and fun variety here! I hope you are enjoying those new cropped flares, because you are wearing them like a rock-star model. And I do love the blush top on you; I think it complements your hair and complexion very nicely.</p> <p>The Camilla dress is gorgeous on you, both ways. What a great piece to pack--it's like having multiple dresses along. </p> <p>Oh, and I just noticed you made that blouse in 10 and 15?! Very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735462 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 22:08:17 +0000 texstyle 1735462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits all around! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735371 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:42:12 +0000 JAileen 1735371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you've decided on the dress for the reunion, but if you want the guys to weep, you should wear #12. You really look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735356 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:18:47 +0000 Angie 1735356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*waving at my pants twin*</p> <p>LOVE ALL THE OUTFITS, Natalie.

Every styling gets a bug thumbs up from me. I also love your reunion choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735222 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 13:22:28 +0000 Suz 1735222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow oh wow!! I think your eye just needs to adjust to your incredible gorgeousness here. You are used to wearing wintery things now and in moving into spring have not glimpsed your feet/ ankles. I honestly love every one of these looks. You have lovely delicate ankles and showcasing them is a slam dunk.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look sensational in every option. I think I understand why you prefer the neutral sandals but I think the darker ones work as well. My faves are 1,2,3,5, 6, 7....oh I might as well stop or I'll just go on. Really love these pants on you. Dress and caftan also work well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735203 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 12:55:37 +0000 RobinF 1735203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I think you have a lot of options for these pants, I love them all. I love #1 and like the dark shoes with it, and also #5. But really, you can't go wrong with any of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735189 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 12:11:16 +0000 Tanya 1735189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fantastic, you have styled the pants beautifully.&nbsp; I do not think you can go wrong with any of the outfits.&nbsp; The dress a d the caftan are lovely on you as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735187 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 12:06:26 +0000 Aquamarine 1735187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy smokes, those cropped flares were made for you! No worries...you nailed it. I love each and every styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735166 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 11:34:31 +0000 Bijou 1735166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW the Camilla dress on you! It is so beautiful for your reunion, and the blue heels are the bomb. I love it both ways, but the longer version is more dressy than the shorter one. With reunions its nice to dress to impress, and this does and then some.&nbsp;If the weather is too cold for this, your new black Witchery dress is also divine.</p> <p>You look fantastic in your new jeans with each and every top - the white top looks great too. Sometimes when taking selfies, the angles can be a bit funny - your white top sits beautifully on you. Your top in #1 is exactly what I want to buy this summer. I love how each of your tops has a point of difference (a lovely pattern, a cold shoulder, an interesting ruffle or sleeve). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735163 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 11:28:35 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1735163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful way to spend a government holiday, lol . &nbsp;You have a good eye and have styled these perfectly. &nbsp;So many wonderful options.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735146 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 10:36:24 +0000 Helen11 1735146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You will look amazing at your reunion in the Camilla caftan! I like the long, one shoulder look.<br /> As for the cropped flares, they will be very versatile across the seasons, I think.<br /> I like looks 2 and 5, if I have to pick favourites. The Sass top is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735117 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 08:59:27 +0000 Sally 1735117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All look fab....my favorites would have to be the flowing boho tops with them. That caftan is gorgeous and looks amazing with the sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735104 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 08:08:16 +0000 Sal 1735104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look fab Coco.</p> <p>I agree that the neutral sandals are just fab with them, and I like the sneakers too. &nbsp;I actually really love looks 8 and 9 on you, and the Camilla caftan is a stunner.</p> <p>I also am not sure about the white shirt but it does look better in the second blurry pic. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735102 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 08:03:35 +0000 Cococat 1735102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your feedback Elizabeth and Anne. I'm pleased you think these looks are ok. It's difficult to adjust my eyes to this length and it makes me unsure.</p> <p>Anne I've added another slightly blurred pic of the white blouse look. I think it was just a weird camera angle that gave me a tummy....I have one but I try to keep it well hidden..lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735101 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 07:47:41 +0000 anne 1735101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have some stunning looks here.</p> <p>For the reunion outfit I like your choice, though&nbsp; I think picture 13 sould also be amazing.</p> <p>Of the cropped looks, I think they are all great (and I think you CAN still wear blush) except #10 - might just be the angle but to me it makes your tummy look rounded in a way that it clearly isn't, as shown by all the other pictures!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735098 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 07:27:37 +0000 Elizabeth P 1735098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic job styling the flares, cococat. I will be using this as inspiration as it's almost time to start wearing my NAS black ones. I think #9 is my fav, if I had to pick one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-the-cropped-flares#post-1735095 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 07:18:50 +0000 Cococat 1735095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a pair of Angie's Derek Lam cropped flares (not actually Angie's but you get my drift ). They're a great cut and really nice fabric and I'm keen to get them happening in my wardrobe. I'm not very confident with how to wear them though.</p> <p>Today is a public holiday here so I've had some time to play. Honestly, I'm not feeling the warm weather looks, but love them with boots.</p> <p>I've also included some pics of 2 options I was considering for my 40 year high school reunion coming up in 3 weeks. Scary! I have decided on the Camilla dress.</p> <p>1. With Lee Mathews blouse and Steve Madden shoes. I don't really like the shoes..they seem too heavy.<br /> 2. With Zara top and Django and Juliette shoes which I prefer.<br /> 3. With blush top. I dont feel that I can wear blush anymore with my red hair.<br /> 4. Same top in black. Not so keen.<br /> 5. With Sass and Bide top<br /> 6. With Sass and Bide tee and Vionic runners.<br /> 7. Winter look with Arche boots and Metalicus jacket (love this)<br /> 8. With Asos top and Siren sandals (meh)<br /> 9. With All Saints top (very old) and Jo Mercer shoes. Ok?<br /> 10 &amp; 15. With blouse I made years ago and wedges bought OS.<br /> 11. With Rick Owens jacket (Ebay)...not sure about this one but love the jacket.<br /> 12. Dress from local boutique, On Cliff. Robert Robert shoes. Eel skin skull bag.<br /> 13. Camilla caftan tied a couple of ways. Will probably wear it the one shouldered way.</p> <p>Feedback and suggestions most welcome. </p>
