And the new pants look a good length to me too.<br /> And now I see the cantalope scarf inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2080187 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 17:51:43 +0000 Angie 2080187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE your hair kinky!

So fab! The series in #1 is my fav, and loving #3 and #4 too. You so rock the OTK look! The tunic and tights outfit is great, but don't suffer the waistband - replace!<br />I do not have a grip on Thanksgiving. At all. Good luck!!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079753 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 06:44:17 +0000 Anonymous 2079753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do have great style. Beautiful skin tone and enviable shoulders, too. Mine are nonexistent narrow &amp; sloped! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079745 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 05:36:07 +0000 kellygirl 2079745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@UmmLila and Sal: Thank you. I’m excited to wear the wide legs. The shorter length seems very winter weather friendly/sneaker friendly. I’ve been enjoying changing it up from boots every once in awhile. </p> <p>@cardiffgirl: I think you’re right. The tie can be tied a little tighter so it sits up higher. It’s very loose in these photos. thank you for pointing that out!</p> <p>@notsaf: Thank you! I’m thrilled that the moto works with the dress. It seems just cropped enough. </p> <p>@kkards: Thank you! I rarely wear dress pants so i think they always look off to me. I’m surprised at how stubborn the pressed crease is--I thought it would come out in the wash. </p> <p>@slimcat: Thank you! I love the idea of the moto with the skirt. I think I could even wear the Rory’s with it!</p> <p>@shevia: Thank you! You are too kind. Glad I can provide some inspiration </p> <p>@chouette: Thank you! I think the high rises will take a bit of getting used to. Part of it is DH’s dislike of them--but I figure if I wear them enough we will both get used to them! Haha!</p> <p>@chris: Thank you! </p> <p>@Aquamarine: Right? I see very few men my husband’s age who can pull it off. He’s all about a little bit of “break.”</p> <p>@Suz and karen: Thank you for the wide pant love. I’m going to have to try and press out the crease as it didn’t budge in the wash. </p> <p>@Angie: Thank you and thanks for the PPL blessing! I much prefer my hair straight but there are days when it won’t do anything and I have to take to the flat iron to add some texture. Glad that it looks okay--I always think it looks too crazy. </p> <p>@Style fan: Thank you. You are my wide leg pant muse! </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079705 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 00:37:04 +0000 Style Fan 2079705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style is so fab.&nbsp; I love the high rise wide leg pants.&nbsp; You look fantastic in them.&nbsp; Fresh and modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079652 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 19:18:51 +0000 Angie 2079652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>Your KILLER style shines through as always, <b>Kelly.&nbsp;</b><b></b><b></b>You&nbsp;look radiant,&nbsp;fresh, fashionable&nbsp;and&nbsp;polished no matter&nbsp;what.<b></b><b></b></p> <p>LOVE the wavy kinked hair! GORGEOUS.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love seeing a YLF Top Pick on repeat :)</p> <p>#5 and #6 = Perfect New Shorter Full Length. Lots of thumbs up. Wooohoooo! So fun.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079637 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 18:13:38 +0000 karen13 2079637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing as always! The wide leg pants look modern and fresh - I am always down with a vertical stripe! All are fab, but My fave is the fluid pants/festive top in 7. Can’t see the awkward crease in photo, but maybe take them back to cleaner and have them press properly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079635 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 18:03:05 +0000 Suz 2079635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Chouette </b>said. You look sensational in all of them, but how you feel also needs to be weighed in.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really love the festive top with the fluid pants! <b>GLAM!</b></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079605 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 15:21:04 +0000 Aquamarine 2079605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, Kelly. I can’t really pick a favorite. Haha to your comment about men’s PPL. Totally agree it’s been tough to get used to and honestly, my husband will probably be slightly out of date in this regard while my sons (25 and 22) rock the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079592 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 14:15:52 +0000 Chris987 2079592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no good at assessing wide or cropped pants but everything else looks really great. You have a way of doing a neutral color palette with enough texture and subtle pattern to create rich looks, and you always looks totally fab to me. (Fellow neutral lover).&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079587 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 13:27:59 +0000 chouette22 2079587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am of no help, I love everything! You always, always look fantastic!<br />The cropped flares look so good, but so do the high-rises, however a photo is not a representation of how we feel. If you feel shlumpy in them, you are not going to enjoy wearing them as much as others. Both wide-leg pants look excellent, and I like them at that length, even though I have not transitioned over to a pair myself. The sleeveless tops look awesome with your wonderfully toned arms! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079528 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 02:24:08 +0000 Jaime 2079528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always give me ideas for pieces in my closet. I love the cropped flares with the cropped jacket. The cropped high rise jeans look fab not shlumpy! Love the pleated skirt outfit. Wide leg pants are great. Buffed arms are awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079524 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 01:16:04 +0000 slim cat 2079524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all your dresses - especially in the #1 with moto jacket - fab!<br />Striped pants fit you great and the length is pretty perfect to my eye. I'd say that all outfits working well - cropped high rises included .&nbsp;<br />The skirt is so pretty. Would you wear it with a shell and your moto jacket for a contrast ( not sure what boots would go with it )? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079514 Sat, 23 Nov 2019 22:45:04 +0000 kkards 2079514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, i like it all, including the wide crops and i don't think you look&nbsp;schlumpy at all...i like the stripped pants, and the pair from Target &nbsp;and i'd leave them at the current lenght, but i'm often PPL challenged...i like the BR festive top in all 3 outfits, but my fav is the last one with the wide pants, (and for what it's worth they look like the hang ok to me) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079510 Sat, 23 Nov 2019 22:28:14 +0000 notsaf 2079510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the BR too with pants looks smashing. Also love the moto look and the second dress in #4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079508 Sat, 23 Nov 2019 22:16:26 +0000 Cardiff girl 2079508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look lovely in all of these outfits.The only thing that I would change is the positioning of the waist on the pleated skirt.l think I would like to see it with a slightly shorter top than shown in the photo.The top looks fab with the pencil skirt and the trousers so it’s not a dislike of the top,l think it’s more of a proportion thing which is very much individual preference.What do you think?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079502 Sat, 23 Nov 2019 20:49:44 +0000 Sal 2079502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Kelly.</p> <p>I think the striped pants are the right length. I wonder if the jeans in 6 could be a bit shorter? And I like all your options at the end. Wear the pleated skirt if you want to get it an outing!</p> <p>I also do like the pants in photo 2 and see no schlump. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079500 Sat, 23 Nov 2019 20:34:21 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2079500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think those wide legs are really working for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079499 Sat, 23 Nov 2019 20:31:29 +0000 kellygirl 2079499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Susan! And I really need to clean my mirror--it's appalling. So sorry. Haha about the PPL. Me too. I'm still getting used to how short men's pants are these days.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079498 Sat, 23 Nov 2019 20:22:22 +0000 MsMaven 2079498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks good on you, Kelly. I especially like the dresses in #4, and the one on the right the best. You look good in pants and in skirts. Someone else will have to weigh in on the PPL--I'm still stuck in the last century when it comes to wide leg pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-higher-rises-and-cropped-lengths#post-2079495 Sat, 23 Nov 2019 20:16:17 +0000 kellygirl 2079495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taking a little break and distraction from my frantic cleaning and shopping in preparation for Thanksgiving. Amazing how even though both kids are away at college, DH and I manage to make a mess when it seems like neither of us are home much. I'm not sure how that works. Thought I'd share a few different silhouettes and get your input on PPL for some wide leg pants. (Low cost experiment as I'm not ready to fully commit to these.)&nbsp; </p> <p>1. FFBO; out to dinner wearing Gap cropped flares and the snakeskin NAS booties, last years FP chore jacket; moto and dress outfit test which I think is okay.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. Cropped high rises. Fun for variety but not super flattering. I felt kind of schlumpy but perfect for weekend errands or a hide in my office day.&nbsp;</p> <p>3. Velvet leggings and "dress" which is really a tunic. Like wearing sweats with a super tight waistband. I might have to retire those Lysse leggings.&nbsp;</p> <p>4. My new favorite On Repeat dress. I LOVE it and wear it repeatedly. The other dress is Target. Good length for the OTK.</p> <p>5. Levi wide legs pants with BR shell. I like these a lot but don't know if the length is okay or whether I should shorten. These would be for summer/spring.</p> <p>6. Target wide legs pants that AJ has. Unsure about the length.&nbsp;</p> <p>7. BR festive top with some different bottom options. Really wanted it for the pleated skirt because I've only been able to pair it with a merino sweater. &nbsp;The fluid pants are an experiment. I had them altered and they put creases in the pants which makes them hang oddly.&nbsp;</p> <p>Feedback welcome. Thanks for looking.&nbsp;</p>
