That's what I tell myself sometimes ; ) Complimenting someone's outfit doesn't happen much in my circles. I do try to give compliments , though, so thank you!<br /> Good point, Lisap. I had been thinking of my long boots only so far. You know this is a tropical winter outfit, when it gets really cold here we have to close the windows!<br /> Anne, I'd like to see Deborah's skirt, too. She has the knack of finding the best pieces anywhere. My brothers comment was "Are you wearing leather pants? Cool" . I'll take that as a compliment.<br /> Shevia, thank you. Will do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706718 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 02:26:38 +0000 Jaime 1706718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, agree to just a bit shorter to lose a little scrunch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706716 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 02:24:16 +0000 anne 1706716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leather leggings are a surefire way to up the fashion ante!&nbsp; </p> <p>And I think I need to look closer at Big W!&nbsp; Deborah, have you showed us the skirt?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706491 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 18:23:03 +0000 Anonymous 1706491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this look on you too! &nbsp;Just don't shorten them too, too, much. You want them to fit well into booties come cooler weather and not be riding up on your ankle and showing skin when you sit down. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706376 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 14:33:29 +0000 JAileen 1706376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helen, my family is the same way! Since they never say anything I assume they don't like what I wear.</p> <p>Your outfit is very nice. I especially like the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706285 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 10:13:23 +0000 Helen11 1706285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for those compliments. I will organise to get them hemmed. I have another pair of pants to take up, and I need to be realistic in that I am not going to get around to doing it myself.<br /> Deborah, there are some gems at Big W .<br /> Brooklyn, I can imagine leather leggings really suiting some of your layered looks.<br /> Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706268 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 07:32:36 +0000 Cassie Lyons 1706268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute! Love it with the tunic, I think you rock them.&nbsp; I wouldn't worry about the length they look perfect to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706252 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 05:23:26 +0000 Brooklyn 1706252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great Helen! I think shortening them a little would be a good idea. I am very tempted by faux leather leggings too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706245 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 04:47:37 +0000 Deborah 1706245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The length looks good but you might be right about shortening them a little and loosing the wrinkles. &nbsp;Fold them up a little more and see what you think. &nbsp;Great look and isn't Peter Morrissey doing some cool stuff for Big W?? &nbsp;I just picked up a knife pleat skirt in black on sale and am loving it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706181 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 00:34:20 +0000 shedev 1706181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706155 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 22:25:02 +0000 Sal 1706155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Helen! I think ankle length is good for leggings- but I am no expert. Love the combo here!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706134 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 21:06:54 +0000 AviaMariah 1706134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706105 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 19:14:04 +0000 skylurker 1706105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They seem to scrunch a little, maybe shorter would be best - I don't know a thing about leggings PPL though.<br /> I like the tunic on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706090 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 18:39:51 +0000 Angie 1706090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look utterly adorable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706069 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 18:08:07 +0000 Anonymous 1706069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! And why not hem them. I like Suz's idea of ankle bone length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1706042 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 16:51:30 +0000 rachylou 1706042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're great! If they're already turned under, yeah - I say go ahead and hem </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1705955 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 12:44:45 +0000 Helen11 1705955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suz. Given my short legs, I have turned these under already. I wonder if I make them shorter if that will improve the wrinkling at the knees. I think I initially bought a size larger than this, without trying them on, and then exchanged for this pair.<br />I might have to look up your leggings stories!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1705954 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 12:43:33 +0000 RobinF 1705954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great look. Love that tunic, simple and chic. It does look like they could maybe go up just a little. I agree with Suz, try folding them under and see how that looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1705947 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 12:23:05 +0000 Suz 1705947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool! I like them with the simple tunic dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you have questions about length, it may be possible simply to turn them under to your desired length for a wear or two until you feel confident about where to hem them.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have an ambivalent relationship with leggings of all kinds, to say the least (this is part of storied YLF history) -- but the one pair I have like to wear very sleek with no wrinkling at the knee or elsewhere. This is largely a function of length -- making them short enough so they don't buckle. I put them at the top of my ankle bone.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather--look-leggings#post-1705942 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 11:29:20 +0000 Helen11 1705942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore these faux-leather front leggings for the first time today, and they provoked more comments than any outfit before.<br /> I wore to church and then a family lunch at home.<br /> An older friend commented that I was looking up to the minute, and family members noticed and seemed to be positive. Yes, it's hard to tell! My family are usually "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all " </p> <p>The leggings are a relatively inexpensive experiment, so comments on fit would be helpful. Should I have them hemmed? Is there a PPL for these?</p> <p>Tunic: Zalora, from last year<br /> Leggings: Peter Morrisey at Big W<br /> Shoes: Novo </p> <p>Thanks for your thoughts. </p>
