You totally have to remember this one.</p> <p>I'm very close to liking the unrolled jeans, but they're too long. The rolled version hits at the right place.</p> <p>I will tell you this look is not for the faint of heart and a little pirate-y. But I am the queen of quirky, am I not, and I think you're doing quirky right. This look might to go on my fave's list for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-991178 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:20:30 +0000 harmonica 991178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the jeans rolled </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-990179 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:01:55 +0000 JennyAnne 990179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not crazy about the overall look, but that's probably because it's so far from my personal style.&nbsp; I agree with some others that the jeans could be more fitted, but maybe the baggier look is what you are going for.&nbsp; I think you are awesome for attempting this outfit.&nbsp; :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-990177 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:00:20 +0000 Angie 990177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the rolled version and think you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-990175 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:59:48 +0000 Anonymous 990175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree -- rolled is better with these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-990172 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:57:44 +0000 Hil 990172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for feedback! I felt pretty good dressed like this - I'm trying to analyse what it was about it that I enjoyed. </p> <p>The jeans are actually cropped jeans that end in a rather unflattering place, so I think rolling them worked best, proportion wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-990096 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:13:08 +0000 Suz 990096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the idea of this, actually. Play with rolling to get the proportions you like best. The jeans are loose and look "boyfriendish." Not a bad thing at all in my books!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-990031 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:08:34 +0000 harmonica 990031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea too, but agree with kkards and krista about rolling a bit lower </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-989978 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 11:13:40 +0000 Krista 989978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the top and belt, Hil! I do think the jeans are loose but it could be the way you are standing. I like kkards suggestion about rolling them a little lower, that might be what is throwing you off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-989941 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:05:54 +0000 Jaime 989941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jeans a lot! My first instinct was also to want to see some skin between the boot and the cuff, but I think my mind is also in summer mode. You look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-989940 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:05:36 +0000 kkards 989940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>l like the idea, what about rolling the jeans lower (maybe a few inches from the ankle) and wearing a pair of booties instead?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-989939 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:02:46 +0000 Anonymous 989939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have done this too, and I think it looks ok! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-989937 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 09:49:59 +0000 Anonymous 989937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm&nbsp; another one who feels the jeans are a tad loose for you. There is maybe just a bit too much overall volume with your top as well. I do like the idea of it though, as Deb illustrates, it can look&nbsp;a bit alternate and cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-989931 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 09:14:57 +0000 Deborah 989931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love the look. Cropped pants over boots is a cool, alternate look and I like it a lot. I haven't quite mastered it to work for me yet but I plan to:)</p> <p>Her looks are not quite the same but Odssey rocks crop pant/boot look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-989893 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 06:17:26 +0000 Hil 989893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's winter here, thus the boots... but in summer I would normally wear these&nbsp;jeans with flat shoes for sure! </p> <p>I am hoping&nbsp;by the coming summer they are miles too big again and I can retire them once and for all. For now, they will be my boyfriendish cropped jeans. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-989884 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 05:57:22 +0000 Anonymous 989884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well IMHO it looks good and would look great if you switched out the boots for a cute flat or sandal or even a bootie.&nbsp; I'm not a fan of cuffing pants over boots- maybe because I did it in the 70's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-989882 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 05:54:35 +0000 lyn* 989882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get what DD is saying - there's something very horse riderish about this outfit, maybe the belt? The boots? I dunno - that's what I thought too! :)</p> <p>I like this outfit though - I think the jeans are loose on you, but it works with this look and the roll in the bottom makes them less cropped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hit-miss-or-off-by-a-mile#post-989873 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 05:28:09 +0000 Hil 989873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok first off, I'm a little grumpy that these jeans fit me, because they were miles to big a few months ago! They're still roomy though so all is not lost.</p> <p>Does this work at all? Is wearing cropped pants over boots done anymore? I know it was a trend a few seasons ago.</p> <p>Response from the kidlets was mixed. DS said I looked like a builder (albeit a ladylike one) and DD said a horse rider. </p>
