I have bad memories of having to wear those when I was younger because my mom wanted me in outfits that were appropriate for a child, but you make these look awesome. Your confidence makes your outfit incredibly alluring and one of a kind! You are someone I admire, your ability to blend together pieces that are not mainstream makes you unique and incredible! I hope that I keep seeing you on YLF and that you keep inspiring us all to be a little bit more daring and willing to express ourselves! Thanks Aida. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0812-big-volume-culottes/page/2#post-1331166 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 00:29:12 +0000 Aida 1331166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>Thank you</i> ladies! Sorry for the late reply I just noticed I had missed the new comments.</p> <p><b>Fuchsia_pink</b>, yes the culottes sweet-spot length definitely varies depending on ones height. Those of us on the shorter end generally do best with a shorter length like I have here, unless you've got proportionally long legs. Small heels also go a long way with these.</p> <p><b>Jackie</b>, would you believe that I just got an iron within the past month? &gt;&lt; I'm not yet in the habit of using it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0812-big-volume-culottes/page/2#post-1330697 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 14:50:05 +0000 Jen W 1330697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a beautiful look on you!

They look absolutely fab on you! Love the volume on volume look - you totally nailed it!

This has to be one of my favorites of your outfit posts ever. It's such a departure from what I wear but I really love it nonetheless. Inspirational. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0812-big-volume-culottes/page/2#post-1330480 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 03:46:02 +0000 Fuchsia_pink 1330480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful! I also love culottes and am so happy they're back. I had questions about the length (I am only 5' tall, and everything needs to be hemmed ) but I love this length on you and I am hoping to emulate it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0812-big-volume-culottes/page/2#post-1330256 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 23:01:59 +0000 Aida 1330256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My <i>goodness</i> ladies, what a lovely surprise to read all these wonderful comments! Happy to be wrong in expecting this to be a less-liked look. I needed several boost buttons for many of these comments, thank you all so very much &lt;3</p> <p>Regarding both volume and culottes: I do think that we can <i>all</i> don these thing, and even at the same time. It's just a matter of finding our sweet spots, (or in the case of culottes, sweet lengths). Here's hoping that anyone who likes these trends will give them a shot, and if there's trouble making them work I for one would be more than happy to help troubleshoot.</p> <p><b>Ummlila</b>, I wouldn't worry to heavily about the length of the culottes you find -- that's what hemming is for! As long as the leg shape doesn't change too far from what you want, hemming is an easy option to make too-long culottes work for you.</p> <p><b>Sara</b>, I think gauchos are shorter than culottes, more of a wide-leg long short yes? The longer length is what you're after for the current look. I think you'd rock it!</p> <p><b>Anna</b>, happy to finally be a member! A round of culottes for all :D</p> <p><b>Gigi</b>, I tried both the regular and the petite version of these (I'm 5'3"); the fit is nearly the same on both (often the petite is smaller all around, but these seemed very similar) but shorter by a couple inches. If it hadn't fit the same, I'd have kept the regular and gotten them hemmed to this length. If you like these, the petite is worth trying for sure.</p> <p><b>Pil</b>, YES that is <i>just </i>what I'm going for with my casual outfits: casual with a touch of glam ^^</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0812-big-volume-culottes/page/2#post-1330194 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 20:55:50 +0000 Neel 1330194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is absolutely surely 100% my taste!!!!
