What a lovely start of my weekend, to read this thread over the morning coffee.&nbsp;</p> <p>amiable -- I totally get what you mean by something intimidating you. My takings from this experiment are to wear that one thing (crops, harems, anything) in the most "familiar way" as far as the rest of the outfit is concerned, and also to wear it them as frequently as possible so I can start tuning in with how I really feel.</p> <p>I travel next week for work, and your comments seal that for casual settings the crops will be the base for my outfits. I'll try some more outfit combinations, but I'll also make sure to pack the espadrilles and the white shirt from no.5 - my trusted old hubby's button down </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crop-of-the-week#post-1691421 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 03:12:39 +0000 Anonymous 1691421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You take my breath away. All your stylings are fabulous, but my favorite is #5 followed by #4. Many of us will be inspired to try something new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crop-of-the-week#post-1691408 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 02:45:55 +0000 Jane 1691408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your look is great, and reminds me why I love classic dark jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crop-of-the-week#post-1691406 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 02:40:59 +0000 amiable 1691406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - these are terrific! &nbsp;And they make me aware that I need to spend a week like this with my new harem pants. &nbsp;They intimidate me. &nbsp;Perhaps I should pair them with very "me" tops and shoes for starters, like you did. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crop-of-the-week#post-1691373 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 00:39:08 +0000 Anna 1691373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You own the crops!

Beautiful.</p> <p>Your enjoyment of this style experiment is transparent. I like all of the outfits, but particularly the one with the striped shirt and the other with the button down. The espadrilles are perfect footwear for this style.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crop-of-the-week#post-1691312 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 22:22:50 +0000 Angie 1691312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY.

It's the next silhouette I'm after (after missing out on great ones two years ago because I was too scared of something so different).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crop-of-the-week#post-1691128 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 17:03:40 +0000 rabbit 1691128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits!

I especially love them with the espadrilles and my favourite look is #5. That's just awesome. And I had the same experience! I was really sceptical and then I went for the cropped jeans all the time. Btw, you don't see these in Berlin either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crop-of-the-week#post-1691118 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 16:42:26 +0000 Ornella 1691118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello lovely ladies,</p> <p>After your encouraging comments in the <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calculated-risk-with-cropped-jeans">previous thread</a></b> where I showed you the cropped jeans I was prepared to experiment with, I went for it. I wore the same jeans the whole week! In short (no pun intended ) -- I'm sold. I can barely believe it myself, but I love them so much that I don't feel like wearing any other jeans at the moment.</p> <p>It was certainly unique jeans silhouette everywhere around me. I saw nobody wearing this length of jeans; short as in "not PPL" are everywhere anyway, but cropped length - none. However, even BF jeans took forever to take off in my neck of woods, so I'm patient.</p> <p>And yes, I did feel odd at first. But, as it was pointed out in one of the comments when I asked for feedback, the fact that the length was <i>intentional</i> was one of the main reasons why I felt my&nbsp;self-consciousness dissipating to make way to the joy of trying something new. On day 2 and onwards it simply became about having fun. </p> <p>Another key to feeling good was that the silhouette was <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fresh-to-my-eye---most-recent-epiphany">Fresh to my eye</a>, </b>something that really brought home what updating style is about: on most days I wore pretty usual for me things (i.e. I made sure to "sandwich" the cropped jeans between my safe tops and footwear), but if you take the jeans as the variable in the outfit equation, it's obvious how the outfit vibe could change depending on the jeans style.&nbsp;</p> <p>Without further ado, here are Mon (1 and 2), Tue (3 and 4), Wed (5) and Fri (6) outfits, Thursday was a trekking event as part of team building experience. &nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for reading. Your thoughts are welcome.</p> <p>And, have a great weekend!</p>
