Short Jeans Over Boots? Funky Pendant? Y/N

Kappy

I wanted to wear "non-blue" jeans with this outfit but only have this pair. I thought I'd try Angie's "clamdiggers with boots" look. But these jeans are a bit longer than hers (see her looks here http://youlookfab.com/2008/09/.....igh-boots/) Do any of these work?

#1 is cuffed 1 time
#2 is cuffed 3 times
#3 I just tucked into my boots.

Also, I have had this pendant for about a year (originally from Spiegel) but never wear it. I thought it was "edgy" when I bought it but wonder if it's left edgyville and went to ridiculoustown.

Deets:

Target tee, Bobeau open cardi, NYDJ cropped jeans, Miz Mooz boots, Michael Kors watch, Spiegel pendant.

I think the pendant is definitely edgy and beautiful and not ridic! I don't have the eye to help you decide the cuffing length though. Each picture seems to have its merits to me...

As a short-legged person I'm hyper-aware of anything that cuts the legs visually, so 2 bothers me. I think the single cuff in 1 is OK, but honestly I prefer 3.

I'm not a jewelry person, so no thoughts on the pendant. (Apparently I'm the opposite of Fruitful.)

I love the pendant and the pants in #3 seem to be the best. Just a simple look, tucked into the boots. You look super!

I love the pendant and the outfit in #3. It really elongates your leg.

I guess that pants situation depends on what you're going for. I agree they all have merits but #3 is probably the most flop proof. Cuffs are really trendy now, so the other options have their place, too. The pendant looks just fine to me. Athough I have some jewlery that I'm putting on the train to ridiculoustown soon.

Funny, I've been going over the Autumn MOTG formulas today too. I have some different clothes than I did in the fall and I can get a few more looks together now. Fun, isn't it?

It's hard to see the detail on the pendant, but I like the look of it in the photo. It's dramatic, and it looks great against the streamlined background of the rest of the outfit. I prefer the pants and boots in #3--again, a really nice streamlined look on you! Chic and cool.

#3 is the most traditionally flattering version IMHO Stylishly chic!

I think the longer cuf in #2 could be fun, but then I think the top half should be more funky - to match the funky roll of the jeans. Hope that makes some sense. . . !!

Loving #3. Terrific use of layering and pendant in the top half!

I like the pendant and #3. If you want to cuff, for some reason that would look better or at least trendier with short booties rather than tall boots. And the visible cuff as seen in #2 would be the way to go, with the cuff covering the top edge of the bootie.

I also see a lot of cuffed/rolled jeans with flats, you could definitely pull this off since you're so tall!
