The straight pants as culottes are wonderful and you have the perfect supporting acts in your blouse, jacket, footwear and beautiful hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspo-by-sveta#post-1402668 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 04:17:02 +0000 Anonymous 1402668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for being late to the party here - I've been off the forum lately too. &nbsp;These are FANTASTIC!! Now I want to find something to turn into culottes too. I have seen none in my retail rounds this fall - save for the one CM pair that made the rounds of Angie's posts and finds a couple of months ago now. &nbsp;Now I know exactly what I want - a fluid jersey pair , black just like yours. I'm using your photo for length reference- thank you! &nbsp;You look great in this - and I am another who noticed how good your hair looks .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspo-by-sveta#post-1402665 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 04:03:57 +0000 columbine(erin) 1402665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These turned out so well!

These look really modern now, and the heels really make them work. Fabulous suit, Deborah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspo-by-sveta#post-1402262 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 04:11:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1402262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful repurposing, Deborah! I have a pair of pants I've been thinking of shortening into culottes. I'm not sure the ones I have will be wide enough to look like culottes, though. But they are quite wide at the bottom and I have never worn them in two years. Never. (So sad, huh?) <br />I like you outfit just as well without the jacket, so it's a great warm-weather look, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspo-by-sveta#post-1402257 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 04:05:03 +0000 Deborah 1402257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too warm for the jacket so it's culottes and shirt for the day:)&nbsp; </p> <p>Shevia, yes straight wide legs, no variation in the leg width from top to bottom.&nbsp; Otherwise you would end up with a 'bell' bottom and I don't think that would look so modern?&nbsp; Hmmm wondering what other pants I could tailor!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspo-by-sveta#post-1402247 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 03:56:29 +0000 Jaime 1402247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely love this! I have a small stash of wide leg pants waiting for me to take to the tailor for this purpose. Were these straight wide legs? Perfect with the white cross-over top and love as suit. now jumping to your project. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspo-by-sveta#post-1402195 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 02:19:32 +0000 Aquamarine 1402195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I want culottes!

Perfect repurpose, I could see you getting lots of wear from these culottes. If they are an all season weight you could also wear in cooler weather with tall boots. I like it best without the blazer so we have two strong, interesting pieces making a statement with their minimalism. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspo-by-sveta#post-1402159 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 01:15:48 +0000 Carole 1402159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever gals, you fabbers!

This was an inspired addition!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspo-by-sveta#post-1402146 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 00:59:24 +0000 Elly 1402146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that blouse on you, so elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspo-by-sveta#post-1402081 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 23:25:22 +0000 Deborah 1402081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I forgot to add just how cool you looked in those pants, and indeed your white ones too.&nbsp; Your brilliant idea was a very cost effective solution:)</p> <p>Thanks for the kind words re my hair.&nbsp; Funny tho, that I am hating it at the moment.&nbsp; I have breakage on my top layer which I try to either blend or pass off as funky layering lol and I just don't know what to do, I just don't feel I have found my perfect cut yet.&nbsp; Tempted to grow it again, but resisting as I think once the broken bits grow out I will feel better about it:)</p> <p>In answer to your question I stay away from product.&nbsp; My hair doesn't like it:)&nbsp; Shampoo, conditioner, leave on conditioner and style.&nbsp; I use a spritz of hairspray if I need a bit of 'hold'.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspo-by-sveta#post-1402076 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 23:20:29 +0000 Sveta 1402076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I think? I think it is amazing! You rock them Deb( and thanks for the shout out )<br />Isn't it fun to make something old into something new?&nbsp;<br />I also have to say how I love your hair. It is so beautiful - both cut and color. Do you use a lot of product to style it - mine does not look sos sleek and gorgeous (major envy here) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspo-by-sveta#post-1402069 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 23:10:26 +0000 Deborah 1402069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Tuesday All.</p> <p>In a few posts back, the gorgeous Sveta showed a pair of wide leg trousers that she had shortened to create culottes!&nbsp; A light bulb went off:)&nbsp; I have been looking and looking for culottes but could not find what I wanted.&nbsp; I had these full length wide leg pants that I only wore once last Spring so off I went to my fab dressmaker lady and voila!</p> <p>I hope this works!!&nbsp; I am very happy wit them and I like this length.&nbsp; Anything shorter takes me into Frumpyland.</p> <p>Today is the first wearing and I teamed them with a jacket as it's an office day and I have a meeting out of the office later today.</p> <p>What say you?&nbsp; Great repurposing or questionable decision?</p> <p>Love to know what you think.</p> <p>xxx Deborah</p> <p>Ps.&nbsp; I have been a little quieter than usual and I am missing checking on all the posts but I have been a bit tied up this week on a little 'project' which I am going to shameless direct you to in the Off Topic section.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-vote-for-me" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ote-for-me</a></p> </p>
