I love the asymmetric style, and the fit is great and really shows off you waist. I love the color combination with the pants even though the pants aren't totally behaving for you.</p> <p>This may seem too obvious, but have you tried wearing a belt even when you're not wearing your shirt tucked? I always have trouble with my jeans sliding down, and finally figured out that wearing a belt really helps! I just got an "invisibelt" from Amazon that's clear plastic and at least theoretically a little sleeker under clothes, and it works pretty well.</p> <p>I think the pants would also work better with taller boots or different shoes, but sometimes on a rainy day you've just got to do what you've got to do to stay dry!</p> <p>Anyway, you look great, and I'm completely jealous of your fantastic vintage and thrift store finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-523435 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:25:26 +0000 Kirti 523435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies, thank you for all the kind words </p> <p>sarah: they look fine with flats, but the only problem is that they keep sliding down as the day progresses! Will try to show you asap.</p> <p>alaskagirl: Great idea! thanks!</p> <p>claire: I'll try that :)</p> <p>Aida: It fits at the waist, so it can't be taken in there. But these pants are stretchy and that coupled with the long rise means that they do slide down all day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-523297 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 03:56:25 +0000 taylor 523297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darling jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-523242 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 03:28:07 +0000 Debora 523242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Kirti, and welcome! Wow! What a gorgeous jacket and what a beautiful smile you have. I love this outfit! I honestly didn't notice any fit problems with the pants until you pointed it out. The jacket is such a statement piece, and I'm sure you will turn heads whenever you wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-523236 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 03:20:57 +0000 Aida 523236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket, and these colors are wonderful on you! I agree about the rise being too high for you. It doesn't look as bad in the last photo you posted, but maybe it's how you're standing? Does it slide down? Would it be possible to have taken in so it stays up and acts like proper high rise pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-523202 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 03:01:57 +0000 Anonymous 523202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How pretty you look in this brown and red combo! I love the brown jacket! I'm not sure about the jeans fit, but it doesn't look horrible to me. I agree with Una (alaskagirl) that a tunic might cover any fit issues and would look cute hanging out from under the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-522961 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:56:06 +0000 catgirl 522961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could wear these pants with longer tunics to cover the rise area too... they are a fab color. I have the opposite problem - the rise is always too short for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-522958 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:53:57 +0000 sarah 522958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket looks great on you. And you have THE most gorgeous smile in the world. Wow!</p> <p>Could we see the pants over booties, or with flats, without your feet cropped off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-522943 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:40:56 +0000 Suz 522943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, that brown jacket is FANTASTIC on you. I love it! The asymmetrical closure is so cool! I like it with the red pants and the boots but feel your pain about the pants fit. So frustrating. I don't know if it would be difficult to alter; I suspect so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-522931 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:27:32 +0000 Kirti 522931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith: Yup, I think that's it! And I have this problem with all my pants </p> <p>Alaskagirl: Aww thanks! And yeah, I agree about the rise. I can never find pants/jeans with a short enough rise. We don't have petite sizing in France, so I don't have a lot of options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-522923 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:22:26 +0000 catgirl 522923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree the rise seems a bit long for you, causing the bunching. You are so pretty, and you look great in that brown jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-522922 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:20:57 +0000 Meredith1953 522922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful brown jacket and looks great on you! The color of the pants is great. Is the rise a little long? The seem to fit pretty good in most other ways. I have a problem with rise in pants. I think even with a 32" inseam I need a shorter rise myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-522818 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:52:56 +0000 Kirti 522818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, Joy: Thank you! :)</p> <p>machanteuse: Yeah, and I4m not sure if I should keep 'em!</p> <p>I'm attaching a few more pics of me wearing these pants, sans boots. Apart from the obvious face that they aren't made for boots, I'm not sure about the fit in the crotch area - maybe these pics will help you ladies judge a little better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-522789 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:42:30 +0000 machanteuse (Lori) 522789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cute jacket! Yeah, the jeans don't look quite right, but I'm not exactly sure why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-522788 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:41:43 +0000 Anonymous 522788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shannon said. The brown and red play well together but I don't know about that pair of jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-522784 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:40:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 522784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that jacket and this colour combo! I will leave the fit of the pants to the experts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-brown-jacket#post-522771 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:30:48 +0000 Kirti 522771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remember the brown jacket I showed you in this post? <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-4" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....urchases-4</a></p> <p>I wore it today and LOVED how it looked! </p> <p>Not too enamored with these pants though - they refused to stay tucked into the boots and looked scrunchy and weird! (See Pic 2) </p> <p>Also, don't they look disastrous at the crotch? Or is it just me? :/ Maybe it is time to look for a new pair of red jeans? </p>
