It all sounds good. I'll have to see if my H&amp;M has them in stock, I have had several online orders from them get lost in the mail </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621628 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 00:40:26 +0000 Tanya 1621628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much CocoLion, Aida, Angie, UmmLila, Lisa, Bonie and Una!</p> <p>Aida, here is some info about the H&amp;M jeans: To me the fade looks less dramatic IRL than on the photos, but I will take a clear photo tomorrow in natural light and post it for you.&nbsp; The denim is soft and medium weight.&nbsp; They do not stretch throughout the day at all - they perfectly keep their shape!&nbsp; I feel that these run a little small.&nbsp; They are size 6, and I wear 26 in most premium denim brands, 2 in most brands (e.g. BR Sloans) and 4 in most H&amp;M pieces.</p> <p>Angie, no worries at all.&nbsp; I am getting ready to go to a tailor with a bunch of jeans to hack/hem and I am planning&nbsp; big post on length advice, so I will include these in there.</p> <p>UmmLila, I think that at least 20 different forum members bought this jacket, as it was ridiculously cheap, somewhere around $50.&nbsp; I think this was either in 2012 or early 2013.</p> <p>Lisa, believe it or not, I live on The East Coast in DC area, and it is usually relatively warm here.&nbsp; But we have been having a long&nbsp; cold spell, and today it was around 34F (1C) with wind chill that made it feel at least 10F/5C&nbsp; colder.&nbsp; I also do not tolerate cold very well.</p> <p>Una, yep, that is the eternal struggle for me.&nbsp; I am of regular height but with very long torso/short legs, so the crops are always about 2" too long on me.&nbsp; I will hem these.&nbsp; When possible, I try to order short ( not petite) pant lengths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621616 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 00:27:04 +0000 catgirl 1621616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wondering about the kick flare length too - this is where all the cropped stuff falls on me and I feel I need to hem.&nbsp; Love this layered look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621596 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 00:05:17 +0000 Bonnie 1621596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look really good in that tonal gray outfit!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621571 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 23:08:41 +0000 Anonymous 1621571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute - and don't you live in Vancouver? Or am I making that up? &nbsp;If it's colder there than here in Wpg, something is wrong with the world &nbsp;I was out without a coat today ! &nbsp; I really like the jeans - must keep an eye out for black crops - and that RM bag is fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621559 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 22:53:12 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1621559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jeans a lot, and also that jacket. Gorgeous long and lean look! I think I arrived on the forum after that jacket was a lemming item, because I don't remember having seen it before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621547 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 22:37:42 +0000 Angie 1621547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, no! Sorry to be inconsistent about the length, Tanya. Here, in this outfit, the hems are begging to be a little shorter. Hmmmm.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621535 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 22:24:30 +0000 Aida 1621535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great adaptation for colder weather Tanya! Especially loving the silvery boots with this, and the scarf adds plenty of lightness.</p> <p>Now tell me about those jeans pretty please. I'd really love to get a faded black pair of kick crops. Is the fade as dramatic as the website shows? How is the sizing? Do they keep their shape through the day? Is the denim on the thinner or more substantial end? Inquiring minds and all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621468 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 20:06:08 +0000 CocoLion 1621468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you've titled the jacket as the "Black Leather Lemming Jacket" in your finds! &nbsp;That jacket has really stood the test of time. &nbsp;The tunic over cropped flares is an edgy take on Angie's ensemble this morning -- you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621424 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 18:52:28 +0000 Tanya 1621424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much Joy, Diane and Eliza. </p> <p>Eliza, I believe that Angie mentioned the cropped jeans, both kick flare and straight, should end at least 2" above the ankle bone. I think mine here are about an inch too long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621423 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 18:50:08 +0000 Eliza 1621423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the tonal look with metallic accents. </p> <p>And what is the right point for those kick crops to end? &nbsp;I've tried on a variety and some just look like too short full length flares.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621418 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 18:45:15 +0000 Anonymous 1621418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a really great rendition of the ensemble Tanya. You've adapted it beautifully for your cold weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621416 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 18:42:57 +0000 Anonymous 1621416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fabulous cozy outfit on you, Tanya. It is sunny but cold and windy here too. I am layering sweaters and a puffer and may have to layer wool socks. Stay warm. YLF </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621402 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 18:23:48 +0000 Tanya 1621402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie!<br /> Funny about the length of the jeans- first time I posted them I asked the forum if I should shorten them a little, and the consensus was no, but I was still wondering. I will bring them to the tailor next time I am there, I am planning a major pant shortening operation in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621387 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 18:04:06 +0000 Angie 1621387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>You can have those kick flares shortened a little too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-neutral-winter-drape#post-1621382 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 17:53:39 +0000 Tanya 1621382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is still winter in my neck of the woods, it is quite cold and the wind makes it even worse. So I slightly adapted today's ensemble to a winter version by substituting drapey tee for a cashmere sweater. Plus I had to add my black puffer for outside on the top of everything.<br /> This version is mostly black with some grey and metallic accents. It consists of faded black cropped kick-flare jeans (H&amp;M), asymmetric black cashmere sweater (Bloomies house brand) and the infamous black leather Spiegel lemming jacket. I have added touches of grey through the grey/black scarf and slouchy grey beanie; as well as some metallic accents through pewter booties, silver bag and two-tone watch. I haven't taken a photo of it, but had to throw on my black puffer on the top of the leather jacket and lined leather gloves for outside, it is that cold!<br /> Next time I will try put together a light neutral version of this ensemble. </p>
