And I am Wowed by the tying to create the asymmetric hem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1425275 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 21:18:01 +0000 Anonymous 1425275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for addressing my question. For warm and very casual, I may have to try some Kut Diana skinny cords. I wear my Diana skinny jeans all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1425124 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:59:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1425124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! </p> <p><b>Style Fan</b>, your Fidelity cords sound wonderful. I am a fan of Fidelity jeans and currently have one pair that I wear. Their denim is so soft and comfy, I imagine the cords are the same way.</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, yes, I wasn't ready to chop the top, as it were. And I was also lazy about doing it, I'll admit. But I also tried tying both sides, and I like that look for a different outfit. </p> <p><b>Diana</b>, the teal cords are definitely darker in person. They match the plaid cardi I'm showing below in Finds, too, to give you another perspective.</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, I think a lot depends on the fabric. The Kut from the Kloth<br /> cords really hold their color and texture. Moreso than my Eddie Bauer<br /> ones, which get that worn-in look after awhile. </p> <p>Thanks, <b>Jackie</b>, <b>Elizabeth</b>, <b>Texstyle</b>, <b>Kellygirl</b>, and <b>Angie</b>!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1425035 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:45:08 +0000 Angie 1425035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving the mint in the middle of Winter - wooohooo -&nbsp;and the high contrast looks with the Winter white.&nbsp;</p> <p>You're doing a great job of styling your skinny cords, Sharon. No help needed. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1425025 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:40:11 +0000 kellygirl 1425025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You set the bar high for day off outfits and you rock the long cardigan. I absolutely adore the asymmetric tunic with the moto. How clever of you to tie it! It's amazing. Fab x 3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1425008 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:26:06 +0000 texstyle 1425008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great but I love the outfit in #6 because it's fun and unexpected with that crop jacket I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1424957 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 14:17:33 +0000 Anonymous 1424957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think cords are hard to style and have one AT pair that I haven't worn at all this season. I need to take lessons from you as mine always feel sloppy. The Diana skinnies look wonderful on you and I can't pick a favorite. How do you keep your cords looking good? After a few washings, mine look ready for the rag bag, no matter what the brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1424955 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 14:11:02 +0000 Diana 1424955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan! Is that really the color of the teal KUT cords?!?! I hadn't been considering them bc in the nordies pic they look turquoise and not a deep rich teal, but in your pics they look like my favorite teal shade. </p> <p>Love all of these stylings, especially the last one. The asymmetrical top solution is brilliant and I think it really works here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1424952 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 14:06:08 +0000 Elizabeth P 1424952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, those just kept getting better and better, and the third one had me seriously swooning.&nbsp; I absolutely love the proportions on this... the crop jacket, the asymmetrical hemline... AWESOME. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1424947 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 14:00:24 +0000 jackiec 1424947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all! How brilliant to tie the sides to make an assymetrical hem! I love the long lean lines with your long cardi! And the aqua top in #1 looks so nice and soft and drapey. As usual your shoe/boots add panache </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1424940 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 13:56:43 +0000 Suz 1424940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those Diana cords really suit you so well. The cut is just perfection on you. Maybe that's why #1 and #3 especially appeal to me. How clever of you to tie the tunic for the asymmetrical line (without the sewing!) Gives you more options.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1424877 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 11:22:45 +0000 kkards 1424877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i &nbsp;ordered a pair of skinny cords from Jcrew that arrived last night, so this was a timely post! love how you have styled them. i'm especially taken with #3/4. love the long sweater with the skinnies, and the light pants with the dark topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1424875 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 11:13:50 +0000 Style Fan 1424875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you have styled your skinny cords.&nbsp; I am on the road and I packed my dark brown skinny Fidelity cords.&nbsp; I find them so comfy in the winter.</p> <p>Love your colour combinations.&nbsp; Wish I lived closer so I could take a sewing class from you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-cords-3-ways#post-1424833 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 04:23:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1424833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's skinny corduroys week here in the Firecracker abode. I'm wearing them for the third day in a row. </p> <p>The outfits (worn for days mostly off, and to teach a couple of sewing classes): <br />1-2: teal skinny corduroys (Kut from the Kloth, Diana); aqua merino boxy sweater with stepped hem (Eileen Fisher) over steel gray tee (made by me); silver toned belt; gray shimmer oxfords (Naot, Kedma).</p> <p>3-5: stone fitted corduroys (Patagonia); black, gray, taupe, and teal abstract bubble-print tee (made by me); long charcoal cardigan (Halogen); pewter cutout belt (Fossil); taupe nubuck booties (Paul Green, Jano); gray and brown wool coat (made by me); black satchel (Elliott Lucca, Olvera). These are the ones I just bought, to replace the Eddie Bauer ones that were feeling too tight.&nbsp; </p> <p>6-7: olive skinny corduroys (Kut from the Kloth, Diana); white and brown scroll-print burnout knit tunic (made by me); cropped black denim moto jacket (Free People); olive distressed suede tall boots (Donald J. Pliner, Devi 3).<br />This tunic is one that some of you suggested I might cut off to be asymmetric. Instead of cutting it, I decided to tie the two ends from the slit at the hem on one side--viola! an asymmetric hem. </p> <p>Maybe I'll wear skinny corduroys again tomorrow. I have one more pair before I'd have to start repeating! Any thoughts on styling? </p> <p>Thanks for looking! I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions. </p>
