I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked these somewhat oddball&nbsp;proportions ^^</p> <p>Cciele, yes awkward is probably a better word, but since I generally don't feel awkward and <i>am </i>a bit geeky, I stick to that I certainly didn't feel nerdy wearing this though, more roguish. Good point on the sweater&nbsp;band adding further length! I'm all for adding extra thigh length, that's were my leg shortness lies.</p> <p>Karie, oooh how fun! Will you post your dress+neon outfit? :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0429-silk-front-sweater-ensemble#post-1237756 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:37:12 +0000 Marmee 1237756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that top, perfect for yesterday's weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0429-silk-front-sweater-ensemble#post-1237755 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:37:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1237755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks fantastic Aida </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0429-silk-front-sweater-ensemble#post-1237749 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:35:53 +0000 Anonymous 1237749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! I was going to chop a pair of too short wide leg trousers into culottes like yours and I still would, if only they fit me in the waist now :(.

I actually don't think you look nerdy. But there's something about those proportions that, on paper, I'd say they would be awkward. But you totally pull it off. I think you definitely have a point with the greater optical length the slightly cropped top gives. Also, the dark band of the top, although navy, works well to extend that length. I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0429-silk-front-sweater-ensemble#post-1237363 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 04:16:53 +0000 Suz 1237363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab culottes!

Instead, I pulled out my slim black culottes. Normally I wear these with heels, and while my 3" black pointy pumps were far more conventionally flattering (and that's what I put on first), I was able to accommodate my quirkier mood and wear my black patent loafers instead because my silk-front sweater is cropped which netted me some extra optical leg length to play with. The loafers also better suite my current inclination towards slightly nerdy proportions. And while <i>we here</i> know that navy+black is a fab pairing, I feel like that also plays into the nerdiness aspect today. To combat the slightly tomboyish feel I chose long earrings (though they're spikes, so perhaps not THAT combative) and light pink lipstick.</p> <p>This almost-cropped top length is my way of participating in the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/09/16/bare-midriffs-for-spring-and-summer-2014" rel="nofollow">bared midriff trend</a> this season; it sits right on or just below the waistband of my pants.&nbsp;These don't look show skin until I stretch, and behave nicely while sitting down without needing a camisole for coverage. Though I usually do wear a camisole underneath this length of top,&nbsp;today I did not.&nbsp;It is as close to showing some skin here as I'm going to get!</p> <p>Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome.</p>
