First off,&nbsp;I like the black shoes better than the gladiators. I think they extend your leg line better.</p> <p>On the bangs, I think it depends on what style you're going for. I'm currently growing my bangs out too, so I can wear them to the side; I've been at it about four months. What I'm noticing is that with the bangs longer, the look is more "grown-up," while I think the shorter bangs read more youthful and casual. I already have girlish facial features, so I am trying to do something a little less youthful. Plus, I've had shorter bangs for years and want a change!&nbsp;I like yours both ways, depending on what your aim is.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1250135 Tue, 13 May 2014 02:30:14 +0000 Sara L. 1250135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both shoes with your outfit. &nbsp;Personally I like your bangs swept to the side, but apparently, I'm an outlier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1250128 Tue, 13 May 2014 02:23:53 +0000 Gracie 1250128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for your comments, they are really helpful as I was indecisive. Fringe it is! (lovely and playful word, Angie). I will get it trimmed to stay long for styling flexibility. Purple highlights returning at the end of the month :). And I'm so glad both sandals got some love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1250095 Tue, 13 May 2014 02:00:24 +0000 Susie 1250095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried growing out my bangs several years ago, to wear them to the side like that, and I never did like it on me. So I might be biased but I really like your bangs!</p> <p>I love your sandals! I think they look great with your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1250093 Tue, 13 May 2014 01:59:31 +0000 Jaime 1250093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit with the ankle strap&nbsp;shoes. You look good both ways, bangs wise, it is more the look you prefer. I don't think dated is a problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1250089 Tue, 13 May 2014 01:53:52 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1250089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gracie, you have to be true to yourself, but I honestly prefer the swept look when looking at the two side by side, but that's because I would always choose edgy over soft (my issue, not yours ;-)). You still look great with fringe and the outfit with sandals is totally on the mark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1250077 Tue, 13 May 2014 01:38:44 +0000 MsLuna 1250077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gracie, your outfit looks amazing! </p> <p>I agree with the rest. Go for the bangs - you can always style them to the side, if you're in the mood for that look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1250074 Tue, 13 May 2014 01:35:49 +0000 Style Fan 1250074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your cropped pants with the gladiators.&nbsp; Great shoes.&nbsp; I am a bang fan.&nbsp; Pushing them to the side looks cute but would drive me crazy.&nbsp; But that is me.&nbsp; I like bangs long and down.&nbsp; Shows off eyes and cheekbones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1249992 Mon, 12 May 2014 23:26:19 +0000 Parsley 1249992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aren't bangs current? I've been seeing a lot of&nbsp;stuff on blogs and Pinterest lately about bangs, so I &nbsp;think they're&nbsp;&nbsp;pretty mainstream right now. And you look really pretty with yours, so why not? As others have said, you can always brush them over to the side for a change of pace.</p> <p>I like your cropped pants with the gladiators! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1249987 Mon, 12 May 2014 23:21:06 +0000 Carla 1249987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both hairstyles are attractive, but Rachylou hit the nail on the head with her post. I like the bangs too, but think you should be able to change it up for a no bangs look as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1249973 Mon, 12 May 2014 23:13:40 +0000 jackiec 1249973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the hair both ways!

You look good in 3 too, but since 2 makes you happier, I don't see why you shouldn't keep them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1249864 Mon, 12 May 2014 20:47:33 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1249864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Rachy - can't you keep the bangs short enough to wear straight, but sweep to the side when you want a change? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1249771 Mon, 12 May 2014 18:29:20 +0000 rachylou 1249771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eh, go with the bangs. You can always brush them to the side. The bangs *are* softer, prettier, and... shyer. I can see why your stylist might want to sweep them to the side. You can see your face that way; you've got a forehead (!) But the bangs are really sweet. I do like them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crops-ankle-straps-bangs-question#post-1249729 Mon, 12 May 2014 17:48:56 +0000 Gracie 1249729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello fabbers.&nbsp; I was wearing cropped pants (Zara) and gladiator sandals this morning when I read Angie’s post. I’d chosen the taupe gladiators (Lucky’s Lisbeth - trying the Finds link for the fist time) in an attempt to bookend my top (Old Navy). I quickly grabbed a pair of black ankle strap mini-wedges (I do not have navy shoes... wardrobe hole!) and tried them on at the office to compare. Does either look better than the other?</p> <p>And, a question on bangs (optimizing time with a 2-fer post and the reason I didn’t link to Angie’s post.) I’m due for a trim in a couple of days. My stylist always wants to style my bangs to the side because I suspect it’s more current. I’ve been growing my bangs for 3 months to see if I feel like growing them out completely to blend with my sides. However, I’m sort of fond of the bangs look, photo 2 (looks “prettier/softer” to me)... The shape I’m going overall is a classic angled bob (growing it out from a more dramatic angled bob). What do you see/think – do my bangs look better pushed to the side to show (gulp!) more of my face - photo 3? Do you see bangs as a more dated style?</p> <p>Comments, suggestions – all your wisdom is appreciated.</p> <p> </p>
