We used to do it to our levi's in the 60's and 70's and I continue to do it with some items. Your pants look great and I am glad it worked for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-beautiful-mistake#post-1158833 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:20:03 +0000 Mochi 1158833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG Shannon, you look plonkworthy and that clutch is fantastic.

I love the asymmetrical neckline of the top, and I have definitely had this problem with dark colors photographing as well. I can just imagine how awesome it looks in person! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-beautiful-mistake#post-1158539 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 15:48:03 +0000 Suz 1158539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so clever!

The trousers are very fluid. I do want to assure you they are no longer too big. The waist is quite high and snug and the high hip/behind fit perfectly.</p> <p>Janet - definitely not bulky. "Simplicity and strength" seems to be where I'm heading in my style direction.</p> <p>Ceit - right? Nothing to lose. I wasn't wearing them the way they were anyway.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-beautiful-mistake#post-1158416 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 13:52:19 +0000 Beth Ann 1158416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember these pants from your original post on them.&nbsp; They look perfect, and the whole outfit is easy chic.&nbsp; Very creative solution, Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-beautiful-mistake#post-1158413 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 13:36:01 +0000 Anonymous 1158413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could see this better, but black and navy is such a stylish combination and the silhouette on you is fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-beautiful-mistake#post-1158412 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 13:27:42 +0000 El Cee 1158412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing save! (Only wish my own "mistakes" looked this good.) Great look… modern, edgy, fantastic. I love the Trouve clutch -- such fun colors and textures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-beautiful-mistake#post-1158393 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:48:44 +0000 Anonymous 1158393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great salvage, I would have done the same, what's the worst that could have happened? :)</p> <p> </p>
