I think with the sneakers I would like to see the white ones with a tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962434 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 23:15:40 +0000 shedev 962434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jeans with the chucks because they are a little looser. Also like them with the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962400 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 21:53:27 +0000 Suz 962400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will echo everything Sveta said! I also prefer the white sneakers! And you look great in these and will also look great in regular skinnies!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962311 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 17:02:06 +0000 Liz A. 962311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't seen a lot of your outfit pics so I'm not sure, are you going for the androgynous vibe of the second outfit? If not, a slimmer jean or a more feminine top may help you wear sneakers with your jeans. Hth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962251 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 14:55:35 +0000 Sanet 962251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the feedback. </p> <p>I agree that these jeans don't look like true skinnies. It took me forever to buy them and I then sized up because I felt more comfortable in them that way. Sizing down on the skinnies will probably not happen ever. I just feel too exposed in clothes that are tight. Maybe this is one trend that I should just continue to skip - sadly - as I do like it a lot on others now. I must admit it took me a while to get used to the look on others to start with.</p> <p>I think I need to spend some time to find different jeans styles that work for me. I don't like bootcut and skinnies are potentially out too. I do like boyfriend and wide leg or slightly flared ones, but feel I need another full length style.</p> <p>(To get back to the lions. I had to go and look at this place's website. They call themselves a Country Hotel and Wildlife Sanctuary.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962244 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 14:40:20 +0000 Sveta 962244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cool about hearing lions roar! You can close your eye and pretend you are in the middle of Kenia's desert...:-)<br />I think this pink is a good color for you and it plays great with the red checks - great casual outfit. <br />These fit you like relaxed skinnies and I like them with the shirt semi-tucked. I guess I am in the minority but I prefer them with white Chucks - more casual chic this way.You can also try skinnies a size or two down for regular skinny look - and I would prefer the shirt untucked with those. You have a great body for regular skinnies - and they would be easier to tuck into boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962239 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 14:32:22 +0000 Angie 962239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those cats are AMAZING. Fun that you live close-by. Are you near a lion park or a game reserve? </p> <p>You look pretty in pink! The red checks look fab with the pink! A great casual MOTG outfit both with the boots and Chucks.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962188 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 12:27:10 +0000 amiable 962188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jeans with sneakers (especially the darker ones)&nbsp;- and I love this relaxed skinny jeans look too. &nbsp;You look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962183 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 12:18:11 +0000 kkards 962183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;lions, now that's cool!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>anyway, i like the jeans with the sneakers a lot. i think both pairs work well.&nbsp;and i agree with lantana, that you could size down to get a true skinny jean, i feel like what you are wearing now is more of a boyfriend jean.<br />&nbsp;and i think you look great in pink!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962177 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 11:56:18 +0000 Krista 962177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Kelly said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962160 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 07:38:49 +0000 Lyn D. 962160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, scrunch those sleeves and maybe try &nbsp;slouchy-er or skinnier jeans with the sneakers.<br />(My background noise is the clothes dryer- Winter here in Australia.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962157 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 07:14:04 +0000 Agnes 962157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer them with the boots too, And agree with Lantana that maybe need to be tighter to be skinnys. But I think you could rock the skinnies with your slim legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962138 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 04:35:37 +0000 Lantana 962138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Roaring lions, that is amazing and thank you for sharing. One of the best things about YLF is that it is very much a global community. I for one, love these glimpses into other places and cultures.<br /> Now, to the skinnes, I think they look best with the boots and as you say, that was always their intended role. With the sneakers I think they look best semi tucked and would add further structure by scrunching or rolling the sleeves.</p> <p>But do you know what? I think they are too big for you as skinnies. I think you could size down at least once, maybe twice.<br /> (Now I'll go and hide because I'm first up and it will be just my luck that the rest of the forum will disagree with me.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962135 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 04:27:06 +0000 kellygirl 962135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them with the boots. You look elegantly rugged in the first photo.&nbsp;I prefer the darker sneaks and would wear the shirt untucked with them, sans belt. I think it's a fun casual look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-skinny-yay-or-nay#post-962125 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 04:13:21 +0000 Sanet 962125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Nothing to do with YLF, but just wanted to share this with you quickly. About a kilometer from us is a conference venue where they have lions and a few other animals. We often hear the lions roar and as I'm typing here I can hear them. Such an amazing sound!)</p> <p>First photo: Just a MOTG outfit, sort of copying Angie from a while ago. I feel very comfy in this. The pullover is more a coral colour than a pink. Not 100% sure it is the right colour for me...</p> <p>Second photos: I only have one pair of skinny jeans - the one in the first pictures. I only ever intended wearing it with those boots, but I like it on others with sneakers. I am not sure it suits me though. Does this look work for me - Yay or Nay? Please be brutally honest.</p> <p> </p>
