LOFT jacket and what to do with the extra length on my skinnies

New outfit! LOFT pink blazer (really comfy, for a blazer! Kinda stretchy), blouse-y Old Navy top, and BR skinnies. Opinions?

Here's the thing: I'm really short, and these skinnies, despite being a petite size, are too long. In the first three pics, you'll see them cuffed; in pic 4, they're scrunched, and in pic 5, they're folded under at the length I would hem them (if I hem them). What do you think?

Also, while I like the blouse-y look and feel of the ON top, you can see in the pic that one side is actually slightly longer than the other. I guess you get what you pay for, but ON's quality never fails to disappoint me (I no longer have the receipt though, so oh well; it's actually more noticeable in photos than in real life). The shirt--which I ordered online--also came with a STAIN ON IT, but that washed out. Now that I know I like the look, I plan to buy a nicer version of this top.

I have a couple of skinny jeans that I haven't hemmed even though they are long. I sometimes wear them scrunched (like in pic #4) and sometimes I wear them folded under (like in pic #5). I know the latter may not be the 'correct' way to wear them but I still do it and it seems to work for me (easy to do, and they stay that way all day), also, this way I can still wear them scrunched the next day if I so fancy.

First--beautiful color on the blazer (and overall, I really like the outfit).

I, too, am shortish (5'3''-not so short, but I do buy petites often ), and I am a hemmer (well, not me personally, but my dry cleaner hems when I so desire). I usually tuck until I've washed and dried my skinnies twice to make sure I won't end up with too-short pants, though.

I think the blouse and blazer look good together. The skinnies are a great colour and fit - I like the scrunch factor.

I like the skinnies down and scrunched best, but it's nice to have options.

Love the jacket!

You can wear the jeans with that amount of scrunch - Angie prefers to wear with scrunch herself. Or you can hem - I would not roll them.

I prefer the scrunch. I am 5'2" and often have that amount of scrunch, so perhaps I'm biased, but I think it looks good.
