Maybe pants little longer, or they look like that with these boots. I especially like no 4 and understand why you milk the skirts they are great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-help-with-pants#post-2044818 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 05:56:26 +0000 kellygirl 2044818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for your help. I think I'll hem them a little longer--it's tough to gauge when it's a new style! I can always go shorter if I have to. Glad the asymmetric hem dress is getting a thumbs up. It's Caslon from several years ago when that hem line was new--I think it was after my achilles tendon rupture and I was trying to find anything that was cast friendly. It's also SJ Earthquakes colors which makes me happy.&nbsp; <p>@Cardiff girl: Thank you. I think it’s just such a different style for me that it looks odd. I’m only used to seeing myself in jeans and I think Angie nailed it--the look is missing a bit of rugged. I’m going to try it with a denim shirt and see if it feels more me. This iteration is a bit too business-y for me. </p> <p>@torontogirl: Thank you!</p> <p>@Sharan: Thank you--I am going to follow your advice and hem a bit longer. I think they’re a tad too short too after studying the picture. I do have a pair of narrow shaft booties that might work--especially if I leave them a little longer. I’ll have to play around with them. And the oxfords--I have one cream pair that I never wear. This may be a good time to bring them back into rotation. Thanks for all the great ideas!</p> <p>@smittie: Thank you! &nbsp;</p> <p>@Angie: Thank you! I do believe that chambray shirt will add a bit of rugged to the outfit and make it feel more me. You are brilliant!</p> <p>@lisa: Thank you! </p> <p>@Isabel: You’re so right. Denim is such a big part of my style--they’re integral to my tomboy style. </p> <p>@staysfit: thanks!</p> <p>@Notsaf: thank you. I elected to keep the dress It plays well with several of my toppers and is enough of a blank slate that I can wear with almost everything!</p> <p>@always trying: Thank you. I agree. They looked awkward at full length--these are regular short, not petite. Not sure why they are so long for supposedly being crops? </p> <p>@christy: thank you. Hope to rock to Sloanes as fabulously as you one day soon!</p> <p>@Jenni: thank you! Those are actually perforations--not checks. They’re one of my favorite summer booties. So airy and cool!</p> <p>@Robin: Thank you! The more I look at the picture, the more I think they need to be longer! </p> <p>@suntiger: Thank you!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-help-with-pants#post-2044450 Wed, 17 Jul 2019 14:25:03 +0000 Anonymous 2044450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great to me!

Love #3.&nbsp; If you are concerned with the length on the pants in the last one, I am no expert on pant length, but being above the strap on the shoes looks right to me.&nbsp; I think showing some leg above the shoe strap works best.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-help-with-pants#post-2044265 Wed, 17 Jul 2019 00:42:43 +0000 notsaf 2044265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love seeing that "fancy" black dress with a denim topper: very fab in my book! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-help-with-pants#post-2044243 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 23:25:36 +0000 Staysfit 2044243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Sloan’s look amazing!

I had to put a little more thought into my tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-help-with-pants#post-2044173 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 19:55:45 +0000 Anonymous 2044173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pant fit and length looks good to me. &nbsp;I like Angie's idea of a denim shirt for cooler days.

I love the wash and how you’ve styled them.</p> <p>I also really admire your handkerchief hem skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-help-with-pants#post-2044115 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 17:17:46 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2044115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've got the pants just right! They could be maybe an inch longer, still showing the strap and not interfering with it. Do you have booties with a narrow enough shaft that the pants could just cover the top of them? That could be another way to wear them, in cooler weather. Also oxfords. Or sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-help-with-pants#post-2044111 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 17:06:15 +0000 Helena 2044111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style in impeccable Kelly; always an inspiration!</p> <p>The pants look amazing to me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-help-with-pants#post-2044106 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 16:52:15 +0000 Cardiff girl 2044106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look good in all these outfits.l especially like the asymmetrical hem and armless jean jacket look,it shows off your fabulously toned arms.<br /> I think the pants outfit looks good,the shoes work well,you ve closed the gap between the hem and the shoe with a strap.What is bothering you about it?Is it a proportion thing or just a vague air of discomfort?A cropped jacket would look good and show off your waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-help-with-pants#post-2044088 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 16:28:12 +0000 kellygirl 2044088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharing a few more summer WIWs along with a question about how to style pants that aren't jeans. I'm out of my wheel house here. I've been milking the dresses and skirts but I am having a heck of a time with pants. I bought and washed these BR Sloans--so I'm stuck with them. I tucked them under to the right length--I think. I can't decide if I'm just not used to seeing myself in pants of whether these need a different top or footwear. All suggestions welcome. Will add pics from my phone in a minute. Thanks in advance! </p>
