I presented my conundrum to DH, who promptly suggested I hem this a little more for lower heeled shoes and purchase another pair of these to go with heels. Lol. I'll keep playing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flare-attempt#post-1475440 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 15:03:56 +0000 Gennifyr 1475440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! Not frumpy at all. Length is fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flare-attempt#post-1475438 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 15:03:14 +0000 Missey 1475438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the fit of the jeans on you and agree with Carole that the length looks perfect with the heel in #1.&nbsp; However, do you want to relegate these jeans to the occasional wear with the "right" footwear or do you want to wear them often?&nbsp; Would it make more sense for you to have them hemmed a bit more to wear with flatter footwear?&nbsp; </p> <p>I will also say, the pooling of the jeans at the bottom on pic #2 doesn't bother me personally as it really reminds me of the 70's-early 80's casual jean wear.&nbsp; As a tall person, I always struggle with finding jeans that are long enough, so to me, the long length is appreciated ;).<br />I personally would keep them long and wear them with heels looking sleek and sneaks, looking casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flare-attempt#post-1475434 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 14:52:13 +0000 Carole 1475434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are AT oversized shirt twins, Tania..and I love how you've styled the blouse here with your flares...I usually wear mine out like a tunic but this looks great and I need to try wearing mine that way. I like the shoes in 1 the best and they look like just the right length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flare-attempt#post-1475418 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 14:34:16 +0000 Tania 1475418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After a couple month hiatus, I'm trying to get back on the fashion horse!</p> <p>Paige high waisted flares (Angie Find), hemmed for 2.5 inch heels, Ann Taylor oversized button-down top, Calvin Klein cognac belt, woven bag from Ecuador I sometimes use, and Frye booties</p> <p>Thoughts?&nbsp;&nbsp;Just trying something new, although I don't know if it reads as frumpy or not, and I'm looking for some feedback.&nbsp; </p> <p>My natural inclination is to hem a little&nbsp;higher, toss some&nbsp;red&nbsp;sneakers on while keeping everything else the same.&nbsp; It seems I like button-downs.&nbsp; I'm comfy in this heel height, but&nbsp;I&nbsp; can't "own" it.&nbsp; The heel gets old when I want to run or jump with the kids, or when I'm trying to squeeze walking into my day (I shoot for 12,000-15,000 steps a day).&nbsp; OTOH, I just bought a pair of black peep-toe heeled booties, and I can see wearing those for the occasional night out.&nbsp; I thought I would only wear these jeans occasionally because they seem impractical for my lifestyle, but I really like them.&nbsp; Hmm.</p> <p>Thanks for any thoughts.&nbsp; I included a pic with my regular sneaks, although I know the length doesn't work.&nbsp; </p> <p>Tania&nbsp; </p>
