Love the shade of blue with your eyes.</p> <p>Oh, I also remember the trauma of pants that were never long enough. I had to doublecheck the length on the forum of my own shoe-showing wide legs before venturing out into the world in “floods.” These look just right to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0422-not-gear#post-2116049 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 14:34:53 +0000 Anonymous 2116049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look and the length of the jeans shoes off your cute sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0422-not-gear#post-2115970 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 04:10:37 +0000 Suz 2115970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking fab, Janet!

I am with you on shorter length jeans feeling "off"... on myself, I like the pant break on the shoe, but then from the side and back, I look like I am wearing floods (thanks, childhood bullies!) - but yours LOOK great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0422-not-gear#post-2115864 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 18:50:07 +0000 Laurie 2115864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute look, and I'm a fan of those shoes as you know. In fact, I'm wearing Gap flares at sneaker length (but not high waist) today, so maybe I will sport them as well later on! I have the same childhood related issues about the shorter lengths, Janet. Not because I'm tall like you, but because my jeans and pants were usually too short when I was a kid since buying them too long meant they'd be unwearable and my Mom did not sew, so we erred to the short side. Thank goodness I found my way to YLF before it was too late.<br />UGH! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0422-not-gear#post-2115861 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 18:44:41 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 2115861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel you Janet regarding the awkwardness of the shorter "full" length.&nbsp; My suggestion is to give it some time.&nbsp; If you still don't like the length after a few wears or months you can always release&nbsp; the hem.&nbsp; I am applying this strategy myself.&nbsp; I also feel like I am definitely locked in to wearing flats or anything 1.5" or less with these kinds of pants.&nbsp; For reference my body shape is similar to yours and my regular inseam is 32" or 33" and I am slowly getting use to my new jeans.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0422-not-gear#post-2115856 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 18:41:24 +0000 Angie 2115856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>Shorter length looks fab with the sneaks!&nbsp;</p> <p>Great to see a <b>Janet-look</b> on the forum again :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0422-not-gear#post-2115838 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 18:16:06 +0000 hereforthecake 2115838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too find that even wearing jeans feels "dressed" these days and yours look fabulous actually! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0422-not-gear#post-2115837 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 18:15:27 +0000 Jules 2115837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute casual look!

I know seasonal colour is not for everyone, but honest to God there's never been a more perfect true/cool winter than you. You look AMAZING in pure gray (as well as black, white, blue, etc.). Just shows when we wear a good shade, a simple, neutral look can be just SO flattering. #jealous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0422-not-gear#post-2115802 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 16:52:15 +0000 karen13 2115802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great at this length in your pic. Love your styling with that sweater and shoes. I was intending a purchasing cut back this year and the pandemic has certainly made that less challenging!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0422-not-gear#post-2115801 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 16:51:56 +0000 kkards 2115801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you re the length, hard for me to get used to the shorter length as well. &nbsp; But I think these look good. &nbsp;<div>I’m finding mid rises are working better these days, but I’m also finding I’m reaching more for loose, boyfriend styles as well. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0422-not-gear#post-2115800 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 16:51:01 +0000 Janet 2115800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Lisa! I think I’m traumatized from years of being forced to wear floods as a kid because there were no other options. My eye has not adjusted to this length, or the rise. I gambled on them because they ended up being maybe $30. Glad they don’t look ridiculous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0422-not-gear#post-2115796 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 16:47:12 +0000 Anonymous 2115796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jeans - and I think the shorter length is actually better for spring/summer and looks modern. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0422-not-gear#post-2115794 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 16:45:14 +0000 Janet 2115794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just keeping myself honest by wearing jeans every couple of days, despite the temptation to live in gear all the time. Thankfully jeans and pants still fit! </p> <p>These jeans are so high rise they are not comfy for all day wear with a lot of sitting (they come up to my ribcage), but I’m going to change into walking clothes in a couple of hours, so I decided to give them another shot. I’m not sold on the new shorter length (not apparent in the photo but from the side more obvious they’re short — they hit me at pretty much the same point as the model in the stock photo, maybe a smidge shorter), so I might release the hems at some point. But I need a high waist with this cropped Sarah Pacini sweater, which is a nice lightweight piece that spans fall-winter-spring for me. </p> <p>Testing out the Naturalizers snake print sneakers. I wore the Vince ones around the house the other day and like them too. I may end up keeping both, if I can get Nordstrom to agree to a price adjustment (they went on sale right after I bought them). I really like both and they do serve slightly different needs/wants. I’m trying the rose gold versions of these too. And I’m done shopping for a long while. Finances will be dictating a tightening of the purse strings. I took a look through my summer stuff, and I should be in fine shape to last me for the season. </p> <p>Hair is getting shaggy. It’s still damp in the photo so not as big as it will get when it dries. </p>
