It's on sale - yay! &nbsp;Added it to my basket, then this: &nbsp;final sale, no returns or exchanges. What kind of customer service is that? &nbsp;Is this typical of JCrew? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties/page/2#post-1372737 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 20:04:14 +0000 Day Vies 1372737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the deep red/burgundy and chambray. The scarf is a perfect addition. I prefer the black but only by a hair. However, when it comes to rolling the jeans just above the booties I prefer the white version. I think that has everything to do with my preference for a long leg line in general. </p> <p>With the exception of the scarf I can copy this. It's definitely copy worthy -- love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties/page/2#post-1372695 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 18:34:32 +0000 Elly 1372695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have my straight legs (that fit like skinnies on me except at the very bottom) on today with tall shaft boots and I rolled to show the boot off-- they meet when I'm standing, but when I sit there is a tiny slice of my brown and red wool striped socks being shown off -- matches my red booties, and the rest of the outfit is denim or black---- stranger things have happened.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties/page/2#post-1372692 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 18:31:17 +0000 Anonymous 1372692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this... how did I miss it?? I love your version of ankle pants! Way to go Suz. Two<b> great </b>outfits. A twofor in fact </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties/page/2#post-1372687 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 18:25:38 +0000 Gracie 1372687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans look great and I enjoy seeing the JCrew Sweater on you – such fabulous color. My personal preference is, if I'm wearing a sweater and a scarf, I will want my ankles covered. If I want to show some ankle, I will wear a crew or v-neck sweater with the sleeves pushed up so there's skin showing top and bottom... I guess this version would be for cool, not cold weather.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties/page/2#post-1372549 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 14:03:01 +0000 Jjsloane 1372549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susan as usual you have showed a versatility and nailed both looks. Jumping on the sweater band wagon. I am hopeless with scarves and have fully given up except as outwear. I have those pants too and even sized up they feel tight. I&nbsp;wish I could blame my mind being used to looser fits, but like Una says I'm up in weight&nbsp;because of looser fits That and some very indulgent eating. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties/page/2#post-1372536 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 13:44:26 +0000 Elizabeth P 1372536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was the way the two corners show themselves in the white one that caught my eye.&nbsp; Looks very artfully "arranged" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties/page/2#post-1372530 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 13:26:17 +0000 Suz 1372530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! Thimbelina, you'll be my sweater triplet! Parsley has this one, too. It is a very warm sweater -- a double knit. I love it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mona, the booties are actually from 3 years ago (and still going strong both in terms of condition and style,&nbsp;after trips to London, New York, and many, many&nbsp; trips to Toronto). I bought them in Toronto on sale, not at NAS. In fact, they were my first seriously pricey shoes. Of course they cost less on sale but they still represented a big leap for me. I am not at all sorry. They have been complete winners in every way for my style.&nbsp;</p> <p>If I could find taupe booties like this I would buy them in a flash.&nbsp;</p> <p>Elizabeth, the scarf is tied 2 different ways. In the white jean photo I have turned it into a oblong and then folded that into triangles and sort of thrown in over me like a bib, with the ends tucked under in front. Sort of like this: V (but on an angle).&nbsp;</p> <p>In the black pants photo it's just wrapped around my neck once and loosely tied, I think -- I don't actually have any scarf tying knowledge. I "arrange" them more than I tie them, LOL.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties/page/2#post-1372504 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 12:11:01 +0000 Elizabeth P 1372504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks wonderful Suz.&nbsp; I loved the first version, but I think I have a slight preference for this one.&nbsp; And good for you on the rolled skinnies with booties! </p> <p>Any chance you can share how you tied your scarf?&nbsp; I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties/page/2#post-1372503 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 12:09:15 +0000 Mona 1372503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, are the booties from this year NAS? They are gorgeous. <br />You look great in this cardi and scarf combo. Like you, I am totally over skinnies trend but even when skinnies were in, I wore them on a little bit looser side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties/page/2#post-1372440 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 06:27:41 +0000 thimblelina 1372440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm fixing to become your sweater twin...

After wearing boyfriends and slouchy pants ... They seem like torture! :D. So I get it! And I also keep fluctuating by a pound or two. And my skinnies feel different every time I wear them. Again .. I get you :)</p> <p>You look lovely as always though. That dark red is a beautiful color on you! And rolling skinnies and tucking them into boots are both equally fashionable. I wouldn't worry too much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372414 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 04:49:10 +0000 Beth Ann 1372414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore a version of this, too!&nbsp; I love chambray and burgundy -- and yours has this "fluid menswear vibe" which reminds me of mountain cabins and big, cozy spots in front of a roaring fire.</p> <p>And, while I love the lighter look of rolled hems, I still love scrunch.&nbsp; It makes the legs look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372390 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 03:25:11 +0000 Jaime 1372390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both versions look terrific.

Brrrrr!!!! &nbsp;And Joy, I laughed out loud thinking about wooly socks in the gap becoming the "thing." Who knows? It probably will. It <b>IS</b> "normcore" after all.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, all, for your kind words and the reassurance that it's okay to be a modern classic.&nbsp;</p> <p>SW, sorry. I should have put the sweater in the Finds. It's J. Crew and still available, I believe. I got it on sale about a month ago.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372370 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 02:54:17 +0000 Windchime 1372370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great scarf!</p> <p>I hear you on not being willing to expose ankle skin in cold temps. Those models with the ankle pants definitely don't have our type of winters! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372361 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 02:40:55 +0000 Anonymous 1372361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this version! It's so perfectly autumnal that just looking at&nbsp;it makes me crave hot apple cider or something.</p> <p>The rolled jeans&nbsp;look good to me too, and not remotely stumpifying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372353 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 02:27:42 +0000 Deborah 1372353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, great look and very you, which you should never apologize for.&nbsp; Were your ankles cold?&nbsp; The rolled pants do look good but I think I will always favour unrolled for the lovely streamlined, leg lengthening effect:)&nbsp; I do like seeing those fab boots tho:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372351 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 02:25:52 +0000 Anonymous 1372351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have those same Gap skinnies and think I'll still like the shape for winter . I may even try them tucked into boots.<br /> Today I wanted to wear white jeans and only the Kut Diana skinnies were clean. More fitted but I fell in love with them all over again. No winter rolling for me unless layering wooly socks in the gap becomes trendy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372343 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 02:10:09 +0000 SW 1372343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Suz, I really like the cardigan you're wearing. Do you know if it's still on sale and what brand? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372319 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 01:47:53 +0000 Karie 1372319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think my skinnies are tighter, but I have been feeling more self conscious wearing them. I love my BF and regular fits so much more these days, but I keep my skinnies around because some tops just look better when worn with them. </p> <p>I've also done what you've done, rolled them at the hems. It's just a different look, and Sveta, I don't think unrolled is outdated. At least I hope not, because I wear mine unrolled most of the time!</p> <p>Suz, your outfits are&nbsp;gorgeous - my favorite is the one with the white jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372315 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 01:42:33 +0000 Suz 1372315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, that is a good question. I think you should begin a new thread on that topic, because I have wondered the same thing. I absolutely intend to wear my pants full length in winter whether it is "current" or not because I can't stand freezing. But I do admit, you don't see scrunch much on the models these days and it is mostly ankle pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372278 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 00:16:43 +0000 Kristin L 1372278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! I think it's pretty neat that you can easily&nbsp;make the outfit either a summer or winter winner. I think the roll and booties look great as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372272 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 00:04:41 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1372272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you still look current and great in the skinny rendition. I like the range of pant fits that are current now ... It seems that there's hardly anything that doesn't work, so we can pick and choose from what looks good. As both of your renditions show! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372261 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 23:54:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1372261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! The roll looks so fab with those stunning booties. But yes…roll down…no one needs cold ankles </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372249 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 23:27:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1372249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, Suz! I bet you were the coolest Mom at the school meeting! I can't even go near my jeans of last year or the previous year. I think I've gained some pounds <i>and</i> my taste has changed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372244 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 23:18:28 +0000 Sveta 1372244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good Suz! And nothing is wrong with another rendition of a winner.<br />You are so not alone in feeling that skinnies are too tight. I have not worn them for at least 0.5 year (as my old skinnies were not skinnies for me anymore) so today wearing my new Madewell jeans I was also wondering if I went up in the weight...<br />So here I have a question (for Angie and everybody else):<br /><span><i><u>Anyway, I thought I would risk rolling them at the ankle for a<b> slightly more current look.</b></u></i><br /></span>Does it mean the full length skinnies are not as current now? I still like the look of full length skinnies with a scrunch so am I completely outdated?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372240 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 23:00:20 +0000 Staysfit 1372240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you look great in both versions. I am typically reluctant to roll my pant legs also because my legs are proportionally short,. Here you are demonstrating that it can be done well! Love your SW booties! As always I learn something from you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-ankle-pants-with-black-booties#post-1372216 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 22:20:39 +0000 Suz 1372216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are all extremely sweet. And Angie, Aida, Una&nbsp;&nbsp;-- it's great to hear I am not the only one who feels a bit odd in true skinnies now! Still, I agree, they are great to have to mix things up, and despite feeling tight they are also comfortable due to the stretch. So they are staying on.&nbsp;</p> <p>But...I have unrolled the hems. Temperatures are cooling off and I'm going out this evening!&nbsp; </p>
