I tried on my usual size and it felt good. I do have a high volume foot, though. </p> <p>Sara, I wonder what gives you trouble--is it the shape of the boots, maybe? I tried my cropped flare jeans (which are about the same silhouette as these black pants) with my new little combat style booties the other day, and I was surprised to find I didn't like the look at all. I tried it with skin showing and with dark socks taking up the gap, and didn't like either one. I decided I prefer a little bit of a heel and/or a taller shaft on the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748292 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 14:17:30 +0000 Sara L. 1748292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! &nbsp;I love the snake print tee and the vest together. &nbsp;The cropped pants and booties look good on you. &nbsp;I've tried this combo on myself and can't seem to leave the house wearing it. &nbsp;I'm not sure if I don't have quite the right pieces or if I'm just not adjusted to the look on myself (I think it looks great on others). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748286 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 14:02:15 +0000 Suz 1748286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look sensational! <b>LOVE</b> that Oksa vest on you.

I love how the vest is relaxed yet slightly fitted at the same time. And the raincoat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748257 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 12:08:18 +0000 kkards 1748257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, that vest is fab! and i love it with that blouse...and the flares and booties --love this&nbsp;silhouette, you wear it very well<br />and the exhibition sounds great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748251 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 11:49:20 +0000 Anonymous 1748251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit. &nbsp;I especially love the vest. &nbsp;Vests may be the perfect garment for me (third piece, lighter than either a jacket or sweater, can easily remove if overheated). &nbsp;I have yet one to find one I like though. &nbsp;They all seem too short on me when I try them in the stores. &nbsp;I am beginning to wonder if I need to shop "talls." &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748250 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 11:44:38 +0000 Inge 1748250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are on a roll, Sharan. What a stunning outfit! I love the colours of the blouse with the vest, and how the vest fits. Perfect with the trousers and booties. I also absolutely adore your coat!</p> <p>Such a brilliant outfit for a day at the museum!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748234 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 10:40:27 +0000 Staysfit 1748234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As always you look wonderful! </p> <p> Firecracker, did you find that style of Donald Pliners fit looser than usual? I tried them, but they didn't work for me and Pliners are usually perfect on my medium-high volume foot. If anyone tries them, I suggest maybe size down 1/2 from your usual DP size, or only purchase if you have a high volume foot or like to wear thick socks. (Depending on what Firecracker says, I could have had an unusual pair.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748213 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 07:03:05 +0000 CocoLion 1748213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like a model in #1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748180 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 03:29:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1748180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha, Ruth! We do have people ask about getting the pins. They come with quite a few knit or boiled wool pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748175 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 03:21:30 +0000 bj1111 1748175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan</p> <p>Love the contrast between the glitzy reptile print and the cozy homey feel of the vest.</p> <p>I would get the vest if only for the giant ornamental safety pin. Great detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748167 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 03:06:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1748167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Joy and jlpp. Joy, the Steve Madden boots are pretty comfortable. I walked a fair bit in them today, in addition to viewing the museum exhibit, and no problems. They aren't in the same comfort camp as my Paul Greens or some others I like--not as cushy inside, and not the same arch support-- but not bad at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748162 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 02:48:23 +0000 Anonymous 1748162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect look for the occasion, arty and stylishly you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748159 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 02:26:19 +0000 Anonymous 1748159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so cool and stylish. Everything looks fabulous together. Are the Steve Madden boots comfortable. But my favorite piece is the silk tee that you made. A work of art. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748152 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 02:04:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1748152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Bonnie. You will look great in the cropped black pants!<br />Chewyspaghetti, it was super fun. Thank you!<br />JAileen, have you seen the Donald Pliners that were on Anniversary Sale? They are marked down again. They aren't gray, exactly, but a grayish taupe that might work for you. Very similar profile and feel to the Steve Maddens I bought. (I tried on both booties--I wanted black this time--and went for the less expensive ones!)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748150 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 01:58:50 +0000 JAileen 1748150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great outfit. I love the vest, the cool fabric of the top, and the boots. I wish the boots came in grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748147 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 01:50:28 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1748147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great- what a fun outing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748146 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 01:50:03 +0000 Bonnie 1748146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic. Everything works so well together and they're in my favorite colors, too. I've just ordered similar black crops and I like the way yours looks with the boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-flares-and-a-little-waist-definition#post-1748143 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 01:42:19 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1748143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I got to see <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ysl.site.seattleartmuseum.org/">Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style at the Seattle Art Museum</a>. It was fascinating, and such a treat to go with two of my sewing friends!</p> <p>Here's what I wore:<br />Black cropped flare pants (Halogen); silk reptile print long-sleeved t-shirt in shades of blue, ivory, and black (made by me); aqua blue knit vest with shawl collar (OSKA, waistcoat Pit); olive leopard print wrap-style hooded raincoat (made by me); black high-shaft pointy-toe booties (Steve Madden); black cross-body bag (Rebecca Minkoff). </p> <p>The vest is new, from the store where I work (OSKA Seattle), and three of these items are from Nordstrom Anniversary sale this year (pants, boots, and bag). I felt quite current, wearing a few of the "must-haves" from Angie's list for fall 2016: cropped pants and higher-shaft booties, plus a little waist definition!</p> <p>If you're in the Seattle area, I highly recommend the YSL exhibition. I may go again, before it is over!</p> <p>Thanks for looking, and I welcome any comments or suggestions.</p> <p> </p>
