They're my favourite pair as well.</p> <p>LOVE #1 and #5 especially --- that jacket is awesome, and you're wearing leggings like a pro! Seconding Aida's idea to dress up the #4 a bit with more colour --- or else with a bit of sparkle? A flower brooch or a pendant, perhaps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-598277 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 01:27:22 +0000 Sara L. 598277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jeans look great. I still wear my bootcut jeans too. I like skinnies also, but sometimes bootcut is the way to go. I don't think you look like a mime in #4, I think it looks very french. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-598253 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:59:36 +0000 Ana 598253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the bright colors and these bold patterns I've seen you wear recently, Beth Ann! They are beautiful on you! I think your jeans fit really well, too. They look great. I didn't even notice the pocket issue. The jacket in #1 would look nice over dresses, I think. It looks short enough. I also love the denim shirt dress in outfit #5! I would wear that in a second! Fab, fab outfit. You look wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-598246 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:54:40 +0000 Beth Ann 598246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! Your thoughts (particularly on proportion) are really helpful!</p> <p>Deborah: When I put together #4, I thought, "This is me wearing a Deborah look," although yours always looks more intentional and flawless!</p> <p>Aida: I've got "colorful shoes" on my list, but the only ones I found so far are canvas, and I'm taking them back. I want leather for more versatility. I'll try the jacket again with modifications! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-598090 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:13:12 +0000 Meredith1953 598090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the looks. I agree that the top under the sweater in pic #1 could be a little longer in length but I have the same problem with a lot of my top and jacket combos so I think it still looks great! #2 sweater is gorgeous on you! #3 I really like and yes of course a little color by way of scarf or shoes or jewelry will be a nice addition. #4 is so fun on you. I love it! I haven't tried leggings yet so I really like seeing the options available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-598086 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:09:46 +0000 Jonesy 598086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida took the words right out of my mouth re. the first jacket and the underlayer :). Ditto everything else she said too &lt;high five to Aida&gt;. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-598082 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:07:09 +0000 Aida 598082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good! I love the patterned jacket in #1, it does look energetic! I think that length would look better with a longer lower layer so the hem difference looks more purposeful, or with a longer dress; I think it may be too long for flared skirts, but could work with longer straight skirts. The color of the sweater in #2/3 is lovely for you! I rather like the waist surrender here, you have enough slimness at the shoulder and hip so that it doesn't swallow you up. REALLY like #4, so cute! Do you have any colorful shoes? That could be really fun with this outfit, or perhaps a colorful belt or bracelets. #5 is also super cute and my favorite of the group, nicely styled! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-597750 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:08:24 +0000 Anonymous 597750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! You are so fab! I love that patterned blazer in #1. The bright colors are so pretty on you. The bootcut jeans are a perfect fit, too. I don't know who is in charge of pocket placement on jeans either (I'd like to move mine, too) but the absence of bling makes it a non-issue in your case. I love the purple sweater on you too! Perfect color and fit. The leggings looks are really cute too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-597746 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:54:26 +0000 modgrl 597746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jeans and the leggings are super cute. They are a nice casual look and very practical too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-597739 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:38:42 +0000 lynne 597739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the world of leggings! I was very late to get on that train, too, but now it's one of my favorite looks. Love the denim dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-597729 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:13:23 +0000 Transcona Shannon 597729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style is really taking shape Beth Ann! These outfits all work well - I'm especially fond of the denim tunic/leggings look in #5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-597728 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:13:01 +0000 marianna 597728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay you're wearing leggings and they look GREAT! I remember in Chicago you said you couldn't wear leggings and we all said you could! We were right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-597689 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:02:33 +0000 Deborah 597689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely. You are totally rocking the leggings look. And the boot cut jeans are so flattering on you. #4 is my favorite here:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-597682 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:40:35 +0000 jayne 597682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, you are sooooo cute in the jeans dress.</p> <p>I think the jeans look fine from the back, but he he, I kinda recognize the view from my own mirror! he he</p> <p>Love the colors in 1 and 2-3, and yeah, add a scarf or something to 4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-597653 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:55:27 +0000 AJ 597653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear my bootcuts more than any other style of jeans. It balances my IT shoulders and doesn't emphasize the apple bits. : )</p> <p>My faves are 2 and 5. The fuschia color is beautiful on you. The denim dress looks like a FAB workhorse for spring/summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-597647 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:15:02 +0000 Kiwichik 597647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jeans are a great shape &amp; colour. Love the pattern on the jacket but a think a slightly longer jacket &amp; T would look even better. The top in 3&amp;4 looks great on you the colour really suits you. 4 &amp; 5 look comfy &amp; fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----bootlegs-and-leggings#post-597627 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 03:53:17 +0000 Beth Ann 597627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I still wear bootlegs (nothing makes a curvy gal look longer), and I'm joining the legging party late. I avoided them even in the 90's! Nothing fancy, but here are some casual looks from the past week:</p> <p>1. Carsons jacket (last year)<br /> Denizen by Levi jeans (long enough for heels!)<br /> Dr. Scholl sandals (new and very comfy</p> <p>This jacket appears "shorter" in the photo than it seemed in the mirror. I think I'll try it with a skirt next time. It's great for warm days and has a lot of energy, which I needed at the time! I'm finding myself drawn toward a longer jacket silhouette, longer and still fitted with lower buttons, like the the Gibson riding jacket several YLFers have. Any thoughts?</p> <p>2/3 Same jeans and shoes<br /> Loft Outlet Sweater, cardi from the Rack<br /> Pendant from H&amp;M</p> <p>Not sure about the waist surrendering here, but I love the neckline and the color. I've included a backview (which I really resisted doing) because I think the dolman sleeve and waist surrender are making me look more rectangular than I appear in most of my clothing. Also -- love these jeans (ppl -- woo hoo) but the pocket placement seems a little wide. Who places pockets on jeans? At least these aren't "blinged out." Next, I'm looking for a terrific pair of straight legs -- not skinnies. Old style straight!</p> <p>4. Ponte sheath -- Old, can't remember where I got it!<br /> Leggings<br /> H&amp;M striped top<br /> Lifestride shoes<br /> I think I look like a mime. Oh well, I was comfortable. This would work better with a little more color.</p> <p>5. Denim shirt dress from Kohl's (last year)<br /> Cami and Leggings<br /> Target wedge sandals from last year<br /> I think this is a more successful look. I wish this dress had a bigger collar, but I like the sleeve length. </p>
