My gut reaction was "WOW AWESOME" to #1, and after mulling I still feel that way I think the fit is spot on, and the architectural quality is perfect for you. I bet they would also look fun dressed up with some sequins or silk. So! Will we get to see an outfit you wear out of the house with them soon?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-639464 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 19:02:57 +0000 christieanne 639464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fantastic!

The half tuck is wonderful and you look so relaxed yet put together! Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-639072 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:13:34 +0000 Angie 639072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You TOTALLY pull off #1 - dropped crotch and cropped length and all. I love that look on you, Shevia! The heeled nude sandals work wonders and so does the bookending with your dark hair. </p> <p>This type of outfit works so well for Israel too. That's where I got all my harem pants/dropped crotch trend inspiration from in the first place. I am a convert and LOVE my harem pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-639011 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:42:11 +0000 Jaime 639011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another big thanks to your collective boosting and support services! Aida, they are 100% cotton and wash well. Manidipa and Una - we have a mutual outfit admiration society going since I love both of your styles. Jonesy - these were consignment credit, whereas the Miu Miu jacket was from the local equivalent of goodwill. Once in the while I find the most amazing things there. Fern and Kyle thanks! Don't know about the hem since there are buttons but maybe? Anna, so right, she is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638892 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 06:37:25 +0000 fashionista 638892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked the semi tucked look. It suits you better. The full tuck is shortening your upper half. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638890 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 06:36:23 +0000 catgirl 638890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want those pants. They are the epitome of how a drop crotch can look fab. If you're not going to wear them, send them to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638888 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 06:35:10 +0000 ManidipaM 638888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, this perfection is NOT. TO. BE. TINKERED. WITH.</p> <p>Shevia, this is your best ever! Yes, it breaks ALL the rules and then some, but I think with the perfect balance of volume and structure (tapering, semi-tucking), and elongating aspects (pleats down front, nude high sandals, bare arms), this is a textbook case of short and slouchy done 100% right. This is magazine-cover material. Please wear with every confidence, and again.</p> <p>I'm curious to see whether the proportions would still work with a cropped jacket on top, or whether the bare arms are crucial to balance... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638778 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 03:29:41 +0000 annagybe 638778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann Demeulemeester! Seriously! Ack! LOVE LOVE LOVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638775 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 03:26:28 +0000 Kyle 638775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them too, actually. Very chic and fashion forward. Are you considering letting down the hem at all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638773 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 03:21:44 +0000 fern 638773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are amazing on you. Please wear with confidence.<br /> The proportions are fantastic, despite all the tricky parts you called out - how did that happen? Perhaps magic sandals? Very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638738 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 02:26:30 +0000 Jonesy 638738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's not to love?! I even think a full tuck could work with a less-contrasty top, or a jacket over the top.</p> <p>Is this the same consignment shop at which you found your Miu Miu jacket? I CANNOT believe the thrifting you've got goin' on!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638733 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 02:21:00 +0000 Jaime 638733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not even know how to express how much I appreciate you all! In some things I am brave and/or oblivious, but wearing such a fashiony (to my eyes) look makes me super self-conscious. </p> <p>MaryK, I forgot to write that the full tuck is for illustration purposes only - I tried the semi-tuck since clearly a full tuck does not work on short waisted (and short) me. Shannon, I believe it was you who inspired me to try a semi-tuck at all. Suz, thanks! The sandals are from a French brand called mi-mai and I bought them new on consignment for about 20% of the sticker price. I normally don't even wear these modest heels but the cork makes them super comfy and shock absorbing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638724 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 02:09:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 638724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with the other ladies here Shevia - kinda digging those trousers on you and I love them with the nude wedge sandal. Semi tuck totally works here. There's a strange mix of androgeny and sexy here that I really like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638719 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 02:04:42 +0000 Suz 638719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The semi-tuck is awesome. And I kind of love the pants, too. Not to mention your sandals. Those are gorgeous! What are they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638716 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 02:01:50 +0000 MsMary 638716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I am totally swooning over the semi-tuck. Like, seriously fainting from the fabness of the whole look from head to toe! LOVE IT!!</p> <p>Not necessarily digging the full tuck so much. But I love the pants!! And those sandals! Oy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638715 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 02:01:46 +0000 Aida 638715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kind of fabric are these trousers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638713 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 02:00:24 +0000 Jaime 638713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you and please mull Aida. Just posting these made me a nervous wreck so any feedback good or bad is just fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638711 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 01:57:55 +0000 Aida 638711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of love them :o</p> <p>(Will have to mull! EDIT: your semi-tuck looks pretty pro!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--as-an-experiment#post-638710 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 01:55:13 +0000 Jaime 638710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is with some trepidation that I post these pants - dropped crotch, cropped length, high waisted. Really a lot of things that are not so popular and unflattering. And then I tried a half tuck, which is very challenging for me. But I found these Ann Demeulemeester pants at a consignment shop and couldn't resist. I did not wear them out of the house, and might never, but really want to know what you think! Frank comments are appreciated. </p>
