So who cares if you don't incorporate crops? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops/page/2#post-669663 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 04:09:20 +0000 catgirl 669663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could not be any more fab! Who needs crops when you can do this!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops/page/2#post-669662 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 04:05:34 +0000 Jonesy 669662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit! Very chic and summery. I still bet you could rock some cropped pants, but if you're not feeling it, then this fab look is a worthy alternative :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops/page/2#post-669431 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 21:40:51 +0000 Kiwichik 669431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In answer go your question - yes I do wear maxis but more for summer and I love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669359 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:59:37 +0000 MsMary 669359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just completely fabulous on every level! A well-deserved K to the Power of K if ever there was one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669358 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:54:41 +0000 Amy 669358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very elegant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669347 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:31:15 +0000 Ornella 669347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, I first must get over the photo itself. You have the best *the best* backdrops!</p> <p>~</p> <p>Now, for the outfit... sometimes I feel like you're the second part of my style soul... I might sound a bit pretentious here, tagging along, but you wear everything I cannot even think of styling, let alone pulling off, yet there's so much to enjoy watching and so much I learn from you. Like, here, simple, bold pieces, very sculptural, styled to look very unique and unusual. Then come fab understated jewelry and that awesome, one-of-a kind handbag.</p> <p>I die. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669344 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:19:05 +0000 RunnerChick 669344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look on you - it's very elegant and chic. I've been ambivalent about the maxi trend, as I am not sure it's going to work with my figure/ body shape, but you're inspiring me to try separates. That feels more versatile, and I might have a shot at it. I'm putting a maxi skirt -- ideally with a slit like yours -- on my summer wish list. What's the fabric of the skirt? It falls so well! The skirt also looks tapered...is it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669256 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 17:33:31 +0000 Meredith1953 669256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise<br /> You truly look tall, slim and chic in that maxi! I have never been comfortable with them for myself but I also don't love midis on me. You make them look so lovely! I had to chuckle at ManidipaM's CRC and also at Gaylene's comment about the bad boys who leave you crying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669232 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 17:05:47 +0000 CocoLion 669232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all of the wonderful comments. I felt like I just got an extra shot of espresso! K to the power of K from Angie, my word, I am swooning. THANK YOU!</p> <p>I have to run -- six hour drive from LA back to the ranch -- but your support has propelled me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669208 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 16:33:05 +0000 Kristin L 669208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that look on you! The slit on the side of the skirt looks great. And if you can stay cool in a car with no a/c and in standstill traffic, that's icing on the cake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669207 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 16:31:44 +0000 DeniseP 669207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This style suits you to a T. </p> <p>Echoing what others said, it projects a sense of elegance, and simplicity.<br /> I know it took some thought to put this together, yet it looks like a natural for you, and that you didn't try too hard.</p> <p>On another note, this post helped me too, b/c I bought a maxi skirt yesterday (Michael Kors) and planning to see if it would work for my 5'4". Then I read Angie's approval of your skirt, b/c of the leg slit. My skirt will be going back to the store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669205 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 16:29:47 +0000 MNsara 669205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Denise - this is SO chic and stylish and I'm usually a maxi-phobe (bad 70s memories, I think). </p> <p>You always look so tall and slender that I forget you're quiteshort, yet here you are pulling off a runway model look (or is that an Angelina look with such elegance.</p> <p>I might just have to join your CRC as my proportions are just too hard to figure out, and every cropped pant look I've posted Angie has talked me down. . . hmmm, maxis with slit in MN? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669194 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 16:16:02 +0000 Anonymous 669194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sleek and lovely--and Angie gave you a K2! Woot! This was not the boho maxi-dress I had pictured when I read your title. Very, very chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669181 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 16:00:37 +0000 krishnidoux 669181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CocoLion, I so understand your frustration with cropped pants. Just yesterday I folded my relatively new Gap pair into the "selling/donating" pile. Your legs are beautiful, perfect really. If you decide crop pants is not your look, then I feel better myself for giving up the look too. </p> <p>I am curious. Are you also giving up the oversize BF jeans too?</p> <p>This maxi skirt outfit is so stylish. Now that is a style you love, and I think it loves you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669158 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 15:24:26 +0000 morethanbeige 669158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Denise, I must agree, you look so fab and elegant and chic. You have such a sense of style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669139 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 14:35:03 +0000 Jamie 669139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness! I love this, and I don't love maxis. Before I read anything, I jumped to the photo, and what made the big difference is the slit in the front which shows your leg. That's it! It's really terrific on you. Then, your accessories are great with it, and I LOVE those shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669138 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 14:34:53 +0000 Gaylene 669138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CRC, can I get my membership card? My leg problem is the opposite--skinny thighs with large muscular calves. I've grown to love my strong, defined calves, but a horizontal line across those babies immediately makes them resemble tree stumps.</p> <p>You look absolutely fantastic in that outfit: cool, chic, and fashionable. My fashion credo is to love the styles that love you back and to stop chasing the bad boys that only leave you crying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669136 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 14:27:15 +0000 Angie 669136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the only casual maxi skirt outfit that has made it through my style filter on this forum - and it's because the front slit allows me to see your leg. It makes *all the difference* to my eye!!! The same way high-low hemlines make all the difference on a casual maxi dress. I HAVE TO SEE SOME LEG!!! And what fab legs too! </p> <p>Well done, Denise. You rock my style world.</p> <p>KILLER to the power of KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669117 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 13:57:11 +0000 Mo 669117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the crops trouble with skinny calves and, um, fuller thighs. This skirt is perfect. I like the layered jewelry. I think if your outfits are quite streamlined, jewelry can add just that right touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669109 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 13:33:49 +0000 Transcona Shannon 669109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you sure you're a sortie like me Denise! You look like a tall glass of water in this outfit! Beyond cool, chic and a little bit of edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669105 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 13:28:13 +0000 Parsley 669105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning, Denise!<br /> I love this look on you. If you don't love crops there's no need to wear them. Even though I do wear crops, I *love* maxis, although most of mine are more loungewear and not half as elegant as yours.</p> <p>The layered necklaces look great, and I adore that big clutch.<br /> Great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669102 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 12:52:52 +0000 Midwest Girl 669102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this skirt on you--very elegant and stylish. I agree, crops are not always flattering. I have one pair, which I enjoy wearing, but I'm not sure it's my most flattering look either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669101 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 12:50:27 +0000 Anonymous 669101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never tried a maxi but you have inspired me to try!

Denise this is indeed a very elegant and fashion forward look. And may I join you, Scarlet and Manidipa in "The Resistence" as I am another who can not make crops work:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669062 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 08:08:58 +0000 Lyn D. 669062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the bag and shoes together, and the maxi skirt really helps them shine- like a black velvet jewelry box. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669035 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 06:41:42 +0000 jayne 669035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But you are so elegant. You look tall and slender and lovely in this outfit. </p> <p>I am nodding on Mandipa, she is a hilarious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669023 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 06:10:39 +0000 CocoLion 669023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ManidipaM -- I love reading every word you write. Chuckling at "crops resistance corps" as well as the anagram created (crops and corps).</p> <p>Kiwi -- do you wear maxis?</p> <p>Scarlet -- smart of you to keep it at shorts and clams. For me, I'm sticking with Bermudas (are those the same as clams?) i.e. knee length shorts. Oh and short-shorts in private/to sleep in (my bf loves them as most men do!)</p> <p>Christineanne -- I never thought of myself as elegant, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----ill-take-a-maxi-over-crops#post-669019 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 06:05:48 +0000 christieanne 669019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elegance personified! Totally amazing look for you Denise. The cool thing about style is that everyone has their own unique spin </p>
