The older one won 9 to 0. (Short games as tournament). My 12 year old knew he would lose but was disappointed in how he played, and was very upset. We knew it was going to be a challenge for both of them!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1796394 Sun, 09 Apr 2017 16:36:13 +0000 Maneera 1796394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, Sal!

Whatever you're doing ------ it's WORKING! </p> <p>I'm also curious...which Kerr won the match?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1796384 Sun, 09 Apr 2017 15:21:40 +0000 Anonymous 1796384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late chiming in here - but I agree with chopping the jeans, and I agree that your hair looks great at this length!! &nbsp;So who won the tennis match ?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1796340 Sun, 09 Apr 2017 09:31:58 +0000 Summer 1796340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great casual outfit, Sal, and I'm joining the chorus of compliments for your hair<br />.<br />If you're hesitating about chopping your jeans, I'd wait until spring comes round again, especially as they are your only full-length pair.&nbsp; I like the look and the versatility of the cuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1796320 Sun, 09 Apr 2017 03:13:51 +0000 Sal 1796320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks TG, Jenni, Firecracker and Jenn!!</p> <p>You are all very kind. &nbsp;I need to get back into taking more pics - I do a lot of repeating but that never bothers me about other people's looks - in fact I find it motivating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1796313 Sun, 09 Apr 2017 02:56:41 +0000 Jenn 1796313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always admire your wardrobe, Sally. You seem to always have the right outfit for any occasion, without having an absurd amount of clothes. I think your wardrobe is just well-chosen and structured, and I'm sure these essentials are a big part of that. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1796275 Sat, 08 Apr 2017 22:18:10 +0000 Helena 1796275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that's the power of workhorse essentials proven once again. Fantastic polished outfit; I could wear this again and again. I love a cuffed jean myself, but chopped would look great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1796146 Sat, 08 Apr 2017 08:20:21 +0000 Jenni NZ 1796146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pic 1, Jean cuffed, Pic 2, on the inside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1796122 Sat, 08 Apr 2017 06:32:51 +0000 Jenni NZ 1796122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Photos of "Ze French Cuff" on my dark straight Macjays jeans from last year ( please excuse the unmade bed, washed the sheets today! )<br /> Sorry photos failed- dinner time now, may try later </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1796121 Sat, 08 Apr 2017 06:28:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 1796121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually Sally, I &nbsp;would keep them full length until at least you get to update some others. It is already getting cooler with our rain don't you think? And if you want them shorter they look good rolled/cuffed - love the interesting bits of white in your outfit too.&nbsp;<br />You could try cuffing them on the inside? I've taken photos on my phone of mine I did that with- then I can wear them longer with heels, they are pinned for flats usually. This is the amusing link about "Ze French Cuff"&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.atelierdore.com/photos/ze-french-cuff/">http://www.atelierdore.com/photos/ze-french-cuff/</a><br />Will add the photos in a new post from my phone just after this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1796118 Sat, 08 Apr 2017 05:17:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1796118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic, and I love your haircut! I don't have advice on the jeans. They look great here, so rolled seems to work when you need them shorter than full length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1796114 Sat, 08 Apr 2017 04:48:30 +0000 Sal 1796114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for the input, I don't have much time today to reply individually but I have read them all. &nbsp;I think I will crop, but probably wait until I update my jeans this winter.</p> <p>These ones are a really good fit in the legs but they are low waisted and (as always) to get a good fit in the calves they probably are a size too big in the waist, so can slip down. &nbsp;I am grateful for my muscular strong calves that take me to the gym and for long walks and runs but they make jeans shopping a right pain....&nbsp;</p> <p>And yes we are very temperate here - please feel free to scoff at me when I say it is cold. &nbsp;However we get a lot of rain so winter can be hard from a soggy perspective. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795912 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 18:25:25 +0000 JAileen 1795912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great casual outfit. I couldn't tell you what to do about your pants. I'm clueless in that area, unfortunately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795852 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 14:57:29 +0000 Anonymous 1795852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would crop the jeans to whatever works with your booties and not worry too much about the winter. Just wear some long socks.</p> <p>I actually have kept my pants long. Not because I need the length but because I prefer the rolled look over the frayed hem/sewn hem for work.</p> <p>I think you have a great casual look going here and with some good sunglasses and bag you are very stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795847 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 14:43:55 +0000 karen13 1795847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tuck looks great, and the white belt just makes it! It is very flattering. The jeans look great rolled, so if you want versatility, keep the long, or maybe find another pair and crop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795841 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 14:36:14 +0000 Bijou 1795841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote cop and raw hemmed! You look fantastic in this outfit, the jeans fit you beautifully. I would be tempted to duplicate these jeans if you can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795835 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 14:32:19 +0000 Sara L. 1795835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them rolled and if you don't mind rolling them, it does give you the versatility of wearing them long occasionally. &nbsp;</p> <p>My older boys are only 2 years apart and are so competitive with each other. &nbsp;I can't imagine the drama if they actually played against each other in a sport. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795830 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 14:24:29 +0000 Angie 1795830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. Crop the jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795829 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 14:24:03 +0000 Angie 1795829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super Cute.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your hair looks DIVINE, Sal.&nbsp;</p> <p>Go Team White Sneakers. Seinfeld is happy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795772 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 12:04:10 +0000 RobinF 1795772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this, simple, crisp, current. I'm a fan of cropping in general but these look fine rolled to me. I think it depends on how you would get the most use out of them. Considering your temperatures, I would lean even more to cropped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795766 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 11:41:56 +0000 Anonymous 1795766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection. &nbsp;Sometimes these types of outfits are my favorite because I don't see an outfit; I see a strong, capable woman. &nbsp;I usually want to know those women better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795715 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 08:08:25 +0000 Elizabeth P 1795715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You changed your name! I didn't realze "sal" was you! Doh.</p> <p>Sorry the tennis results we what they were. Tough on the little guy. </p> <p>Much as I love crops, I do think keeping these full length might be wise, until another longer pair shows up. Esp if you are heading into fall/winter. I am chuckling a bit at the relativity of weather, at 10 degrees, my crops and bare legs will be coming out to play. I have struggled with crops and winter. And these look good rolled for when you want the shorter option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795712 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 07:54:30 +0000 Sisi 1795712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely outfit, fresh, casual but accurate. That's a "perfect"&nbsp; tee, right neckline, right length and I can see how well it drapes.. About the jeans I do not know what to suggest (I myself am always very confused when it comes to pants length), but I can say that I like the way you are wearing them, rolled up. They have a young, sporty vibe that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795707 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 07:26:28 +0000 Sal 1795707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia and Joy.</p> <p>Emily - thanks. &nbsp;It was a bit unfortunate, the older beat the younger 9-0. &nbsp;The younger one was upset because he didn't play very well.</p> <p>Brooklyn, I have one full length pair of skinnies and a full length pair of loosish straights, but they are on the way out and suit being cuffed better. &nbsp;I do hope to get some flares or bootcuts but the availability is awful, and I want to buy in store. &nbsp;A pair will eventually turn up that is long enough, a rinse I like, and not looking they are straight out of 1999:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795677 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 04:46:32 +0000 Brooklyn 1795677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely and crisp. You need some high shaft white boots!&nbsp;<br />I don't know what to advise about chopping. I would be reluctant if that meant you have no full length jeans. I still like full length on cold days. But I am pretty sure Angie only has cropped jeans now and she copes with a climate much colder than ours.&nbsp;<br />If you do crop, I vote raw hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795672 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 04:29:41 +0000 Emily K 1795672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would steal that outfit in a minute! &nbsp;And, I hope both boys play really well.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795667 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 04:15:16 +0000 Anonymous 1795667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A wonderful outfit. I also say chop. Whether you leave a raw edge or hem, do what feels best to you. I am surprised at how much I like a raw hem on jeans and am considering letting out the hem of my white denim skirt for a bit of length and to help a skirt look casual </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795651 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 03:34:43 +0000 Jaime 1795651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit - the white belt and sneakers make it! I would say chop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-only-workhorse-essentials#post-1795637 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 02:54:11 +0000 Sal 1795637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz. I am not much of a tucker (short waist, tummy and general casual/RATE look sometimes).&nbsp;</p> <p>I could get away with pop socks and boots and these jeans in winter. &nbsp;You would scoff at we consider a cold day (we are not often below 0 Celcius/32 F here, more often sitting in the 10 C/50 F range for winter. &nbsp;But the height of summer is 30C/86 F. &nbsp;My bigger concern is rain/wet weather.</p> <p>I am tending to cropping just at high shaft boot level, I know the height that works and being a long legged taller person I don't have to worry too much about leg shortening, but I do worry about waist and thigh flattery!!</p> <p>It is a bit of a Suz look with blue and white:) </p>
