Guess only way to find out is to try it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-florals-straight-legsbooties-ppl-question#post-1116552 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 19:29:09 +0000 Emily 1116552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit -&nbsp;Thanks for confirming my suspicion about the pant length - ok, but not optimal. &nbsp;The pic&nbsp;in the collage #3 is my BR Dress on the model looking rather miniature. I am 5'4" and bought regular rather than petite, the length is a touch above the knee on me. &nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-florals-straight-legsbooties-ppl-question#post-1116550 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 19:24:56 +0000 Debra 1116550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits look great. The trouser length looks fine to me :)<br /> Love your sheath dress and pretty little cardigan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-florals-straight-legsbooties-ppl-question#post-1116548 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 19:22:44 +0000 unfrumped 1116548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both outfits are great. Angie has showed using monochrome pants-booties to kind of make up for minimal gapping or extend the legline, and these seem fine. I really like the sheath dress jumper-style and think you got the perfect fit--you have some "fluidity" for style and comfort, but there is enough shaping to give you a waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-florals-straight-legsbooties-ppl-question#post-1116541 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 19:12:36 +0000 Anonymous 1116541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is fine! I like scrunch, but I think these are technically long enough the way you have described and from the photo. Straight legs get a bit more of a pass in length than wider-legged styles.</p> <p>I like both of these a lot!</p> <p>How do you find the length of the dresses at BR? I see them and they all look mid-thigh -- was this one a knee-length one on the site? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-and-florals-straight-legsbooties-ppl-question#post-1116519 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 18:58:28 +0000 Emily 1116519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-3: Monday - Forget Figure Flattery!&nbsp;<br />I wanted to maximize comfort for work on Monday after working most of the weekend, so I chose my version of business casual pajamas: BR Ponte Sheath dress with a generous cut, tights, and a floaty blouse. &nbsp;The only part of this outfit that isn't pajama-comfortable is the booties, and they are still good for 8+ hours of wear. &nbsp;Unbelted, the dress doesn't do anything to make me look taller and thinner, but I like the hint of shape and the way it drapes. &nbsp;I think the slightly shorter length and height from the booties balances things out a little.</p> <p>WIW:&nbsp;<br />Ponte Sheath Dress - Banana Republic<br />Floral Blouse - Express<br />Wool Coat - Jacob<br />Heeled Booties - Rockport<br />Floral Scarf - Ricki's</p> <p>#4-5: Today - Black and Blue<br />This is the first outing of my Ink Blue suede boots from Shoemint. &nbsp;They are "you get what you pay for" quality, but I like the colour and the style. &nbsp;I think that my dark blue zebra cardigan would have been a better choice with this outfit, but oh well, next time!</p> <p>WIW:&nbsp;<br />Blue Suede Booties - Shoemint<br />Straight Legged Pants - Gap&nbsp;<br />Button Down Blouse - Express<br />Floral Cardigan - Ricki's</p> <p>Here is my question: does #4 violate PPL?<br />I know it is hard to tell from the front, but the length ends up being similar to the model in #5. &nbsp;The hems reach the heel of the booties, do not show sock when I sit and are just about but&nbsp;not quite long enough to scrunch. &nbsp;I think I would prefer a touch longer, but am I way off here?</p> <p> </p>
