You guys are wonderful.
Kkards, great visuals.
Angie, you may have found the way for me to give extra life to these, by cropping them professionnally, as it could possiby change their vibe: I wonder if you weren't bothered by the vertical black line produced by the hem on the cuffs. I didn't see this detail myself before looking at these pics.
However I will try Tulle's solution first, I agree that sometimes the cuffs provide visual balance.
Firecracker, I'm so happy you feel the bada*** vibe in the first pic, because it's exactly with this in mind that I imagined this outfit. Although I would usually think like Unfrumped and let the floral take center stage, I wanted to do something less conservative. I do own a long silk shirt in black, and will try it on with these though, because now, Unfrumped,I can't unsee what you meant lol!
Suz and Gigi: either way, they will get us! I am already very much feeling the gap with new and old pieces. Actually these floral jeans had been stored away in a previous manic purge precisely because lots of winter tops were too short for them. But I noticed the cropped tops seem to concern mainly items that are close to the skin. Looser tops tend to be much longer and a little Boho. So far.
