Blue looks so fresh and flattering on you, you should never apologize for wearing what makes you feel good. Here's to Janet's "blues"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284569 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 01:59:45 +0000 Ariadne 1284569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, gorgeous! &nbsp;Great decision to chop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284563 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 01:54:19 +0000 Jaime 1284563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love this outfit Janet. First of all love your chopped shorts - no big surprise there. The sandals, you in blue and that very interesting clutch are all perfect. Might need a white perforated belt, hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284463 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 23:11:39 +0000 Angie 1284463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY. I'm glad you're feeling good about this led of your style journey, Janet. "Chops" is a fun word. (Thanks. I hacked a little more carefully to achieve the longer roll. My Chopped BF's are a little less carefully chopped).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284456 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 23:01:18 +0000 Anonymous 1284456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shorts! I had fun this year creating my summer shorts by doing the same thing to jeans and chinos I was tired of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284448 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 22:51:47 +0000 Janet 1284448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth, I just cut and rolled! These are actually a new purchase -- never worn full-length (ironic, since they are the rare jeans that are actually long enough for me to wear with a heel). These were ordered with the Gap camo shorts and the BR shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284397 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 21:32:47 +0000 Elizabeth P 1284397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perforated perfection!&nbsp; And you can wear blue all you want... if you hadn't noticed it's by far my #1 colour - after the black and white :)</p> <p>Love the "chops".&nbsp; What a great way to deal with unworn jeans, really.&nbsp; Did you finish the bottoms at all?&nbsp; Or just cut and roll? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284377 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 21:01:25 +0000 Suz 1284377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection, Janet!! <b>LOVE</b> this entire outfit. I adore the fit of the shorts. They could not be better, and I think this is the right length for you. These sandals are just wow, and how much fun with all the dots!! I will never sicken of seeing you in blue (if you promise to do the same for me, since my entire summer wardrobe is blue, pretty much...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284374 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 20:55:42 +0000 Tanya 1284374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all the dots, so clever.&nbsp; Such a clever idea with chopping off the jeans.&nbsp; I have to admit that I have taken the scissors to a couple of pairs or rarely worn pants/jeans myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284368 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 20:45:53 +0000 Mo 1284368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>dig the coordinating perforations. &nbsp;I think you're hitting your summer style stride. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284366 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 20:39:53 +0000 Janet 1284366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie and everyone!</p> <p>Angie, yes. I have noticed, and it's not been an unconscious choice either. I've just been feeling a pull to a bit of simplifying. Not minimalist, but a step back from where experimenting took me over the last few years. I'm feeling good about it, thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p>The chops (as I now think of them) are really comfy -- now that I've been wearing them for a few hours, they're definitely a little looser and&nbsp;bigger than my blue denim chops from yesterday. Funny because those were jeans I almost donated after I lost weight and they were "too big." It's too bad I didn't keep a few more things from then because now they would be trendily "fluid"!</p> <p>Oops, meant to add that I love your chopped L&amp;L's on you! &nbsp;It looks like you left yours a little longer than mine and made the fold bigger. Maybe I should have done that too -- oh well!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284302 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 17:50:51 +0000 Angie 1284302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>You are simplifying and crisping up your style, Janet. This is the next leg of your style journey. Have you noticed?&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE those white&nbsp;shorts. They couldn't be more perfect. I hacked my Gap L&amp;Ls last year. Love them much more now. High five. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284295 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 17:39:15 +0000 lyn67 1284295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, such a great detail coordination! Plonk, for all those chops and dots, great outfit, and that is the biggest clutch ever! (Or is the one which Shannon owns? now confused- but both fab!:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284253 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 16:37:32 +0000 Mellllls 1284253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>they look great!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284250 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 16:28:09 +0000 Alana in Canada 1284250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, love all the dots! So clever--and subtle. The jeans look like they were meant to be chopped. Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284237 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 16:16:24 +0000 Jude 1284237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent outfit, so fresh and polished casual.

Great outfit and the chopped pants look good to me. &nbsp;Love your perforated accessories. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284227 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 16:06:46 +0000 Peri 1284227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you have real dots and then all those subtle dots! Cool detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284225 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 16:02:59 +0000 kellygirl 1284225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That gamble paid off! You look amazing! Love all of the perforations in your accessories too. So fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chops-and-dots#post-1284224 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 16:01:24 +0000 Janet 1284224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last night I took scissors to the sized-up, heavily discounted, white Gap L&amp;Ls I recently bought. I cut them to the same length as my other clamdigger-length BF denim shorts. </p> <p>They're definitely bagging out as I wear them, so the BF vibe is pretty strong in these -- I think I'm ok with that and hope they're JFE. It's probably not terribly apparent from the front except for the visibly low crotch, but the butt is pretty baggy.</p> <p>After the discussion on soft button-front shirts, I pulled out this silk JCrew shirt (2-3 yrs old) and paired it with the perforated belt and the blue Splendid sandals. Are you sick of seeing me in blue yet? </p> <p>And it may be a bit much for a casual outfit, but I couldn't resist using the oversize BCBG clutch today -- just look at how the perforations echo the sandals! Hehe. </p> <p>So, how did I do with these chops? I hope they're ok -- they are comfortable. For $30 I figured it was worth a gamble! </p> <p>Sorry for picture quality as I try to find some light around here. Very overcast today and the overhead lights in our bedroom are awful. </p> <p>Suggestions &amp; comments always welcome! </p>
