I'm thinking plum would look great with it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647340 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 15:52:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 647340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GP - love the idea of pairing the yellow/cobalt clutch with the orange top. Thanks!</p> <p>Denise - getting the length right on the cropped pants has come from experimenting, posting and getting feedback from everyone here, as well as Wonder Woman's input. She seems to have a very keen eye as to what works. It's also as a result of staring at myself....sounds strange I know, but I literally put them on, cuff to certain lengths and stare in the mirror to see what visually doesn't cut my legs off. I had also posted a keep/toss thread a while ago with my black crops from last year asking Angie about the length. She totally approved of those so I'm trying to pattern all future crops based on that length. I'm finding about two inches below my knee just where my calf starts to widen is my "sweet spot'. Still leaves enough of the shapely part of my leg showing and I'm beginning to think that's the key. BTW the clutch was on the website as part of the anniversary sale so there may not be any left.</p> <p>Manidipa - wow, thank you so much for the fabulous top suggestions. I'm going to play in my closet later with your ideas. I'm also thinking the oatmeal/yellow striped sweater that Inge pointed me to with the clutch - that's three patterns but I think it could work.</p> <p>Thanks Sarah and Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647326 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 15:19:05 +0000 Suz 647326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gain is SO adorable!!! </p> <p>And only half as adorable as you. I LOVE these. I KNEW they could work! Glad you persisted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647323 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 15:15:23 +0000 ManidipaM 647323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gain has GREAT taste, doesn't he? :-D</p> <p>Wonder woman's done a truly wonderful job too. Perfect length for your proportions! What about a silvery grey (sweater?) or something emerald to pair with those pants. I like the idea of gauzy white too --- like your lace top from the other day maybe, with some of your lovely retro jewellery or a belt? Yellow should be lovely with these too---as pretty as a daisy, and of course the same blue as that zipper on the clutch... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647230 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 12:18:19 +0000 Sarah A 647230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>your wonder woman IS amazing! I love these, so glad they turned out well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647184 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 07:02:16 +0000 CocoLion 647184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These pants look terrific and are helping to change my mind about crops. I especially love the way they look with the orange flats and top. (And where is orange kitty in this picture?)</p> <p>I know you are another petite like me and with crops and shorts you would think this outfit wouldn't work but somehow it works brilliantly and there is nothing stumpifying about it. I have noticed you are very good at getting the length right lately (your white bermudas worn today, for example) and now these. You are hitting that lower leg sweet spot. Has it involved a lot of experimentation or is WW behind this?</p> <p>ETA -- love love love the clutch, why didn't I see this at Nordies when I was there on Tuesday? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647178 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 06:41:05 +0000 goldenpig 647178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look lovely on you! I love it with the bright orange. Now why don't you pair that outfit in 2/3 with the cute yellow and cobalt bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647079 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 02:01:08 +0000 Nadya 647079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonder Woman shoots and scores! And I love the shoes in #1 and 2. But most of all I live your happy smile </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647071 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:42:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 647071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought of the J Jill blouses too Rae. Never thought about the dotty blazer - will have to give that a try. I will also need to come up with some sleeveless/short sleeved lightweight options for the hot days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647067 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:38:19 +0000 rae 647067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to see these with your J. Jill shirts! And perhaps the red dotty blazer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647064 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:36:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 647064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well thank you kindly ma'am! </p> <p>I would love a few suggestions on what types of tops/colours to pair with these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647061 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:34:31 +0000 Angie 647061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah. I love white. I love fitted cropped pants at this length. I love them on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647059 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:32:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 647059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - so sorry I confused you! I was reasonably sure that the length was good. It was the pattern I wasn't sure you'd care for - they could be seen as frumpy maybe.</p> <p>Rita &amp; Sheila - we can thank Wonder Woman for the length. She's the one who pinned it on the first go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647058 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:28:54 +0000 Sheila 647058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of my favorite pant lengths and you wear it well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647053 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:20:32 +0000 Angie 647053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I'm confused. Why would I not like these cropped pants? These are EXACTLY the style and length that I shout out from the roof tops! They are a 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647050 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:16:43 +0000 modgrl 647050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! This is exactly the length I had in mind for these. They are terrific clams.<br /> Cute little purse too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-647008 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 23:34:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 647008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire &amp; Christieanne - gather up everything you have that needs tailoring and c'mon over! We'll give it all to Wonder Woman to fix up and we will go thrifting and for iced coffees...</p> <p>Just thinking I'd like to get a soft, gauzy white/cream shirt to wear with these. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-646993 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 23:19:06 +0000 christieanne 646993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need a vaca to your town so Wonder Woman can fix up all my re-tailoring needs and then we can thrift! My passport is not expiring until 2016 :0 </p> <p>Love the length - and I suspect Angie will not be disapproving as they hit at a nice slim point below your knee. Nice! And the clutch is too die for, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-646989 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 23:13:56 +0000 Anonymous 646989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yay! I wanted you to preserve some of the pattern too. I think, lol! Who knows what I said the other day. ANYway, I love how they turned out. It seems Wonder Woman has a good eye as well as a good hand. Does she make house calls by any chance? To other countries? I can't find a single warm bodied referral for a seamstress or tailor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-646979 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 22:53:02 +0000 Deborah 646979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have made me very happy this morning:). I am thrilled that you kept some length on these. I think they turned out beautifully. I love them particularly with the denim shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-646977 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 22:51:24 +0000 rae 646977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bless Wonder Woman! She has hemmed these shorter than most of the crops I've seen in stores - yay that she does not drink the Kool Aid there. I am going out on a limb to predict that Angie will be pleased with the capri length. </p> <p>What is it about cats and fashion? They definitely know what they like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-646976 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 22:50:33 +0000 Anonymous 646976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute. The colors go well with those wonderful shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonder-woman-does-it-again#post-646974 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 22:45:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 646974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Warning Angie - you may want to look away!</p> <p>As you may recall, I thrifted these kind of crazy capri pants last week that were completely wrong in terms of length and leg fit (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-okbut-let-me-explain" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....me-explain</a>) but I loved the fabric and pattern so took a chance the Wonder Woman could do something with them.</p> <p>I got them back today and couldn't be more pleased! When I took them in, she suggested a cropped length (not Bermuda) so as to maintain the integrity of the pattern, which she also loved. She also tapered the legs from mid thigh down so that they have a much slimmer fit. I know there will be some that will still dislike the pattern and that's ok with me - but I love these and plan on wearing the heck out of them!</p> <p>I also got my Nordie's order today - duplicate pair of Wit &amp; Wisdom skinnies and this fab little yellow leather faux snakeskin clutch with cobalt blue zipper. I'm in LOVE with it - and so is Gain, as you can see. </p>
