That's me: always breaking the rules. WIW 5.6

These are the Free People crops. LOVE them. Not being a crop-top type of gal, nor one to tuck stuff in, I feel quite comfortable with a longer top over this length of pant. I took a picture , very awkward I know, to show where the waistband sits on me, and to have a look at a different proportion. The long top may not be the ultimate in figure flattery, but I hope it's JFE. And , with some trepidation, here is pair of wedges I just picked up. I feel like Jennifer Aniston - always with the wedge. Anyways - super comfortable and gives me the height I like. Grey sandals are that HEWI for me and I was pretty happy to find these. So - I'm really interested in this whole proportion issue. Fire away with your thoughts as I am really intrigued with how to wear these jeans . Thanks all
Also growing out hair, and having fun with more makeup. It's summer !

tank - Comfy USA (what a ridiculous brand name)
shoes - Tsubo

I'm clueless on the proportion issue so I'm not going to weigh in on that. I just think the look is super cute (if cute is okay to say!). I mean happy, casual, relaxed and fun.

Never heard of that brand but I love that tank!

viva

Oh, I love this look on you! Super casual and cool. And so comfy USA! hahaha. Those crops look perfect to me -- I would live in them. You look lovely and your makeup is so on point. You are a vision of springtime.

PS Where are you headed with your hair? I am hating mine right now and tempted to cut it all off.

This is how I'd wear them too. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this look, and you're definitely helping by posting pics!

WOOOHOOOO. YOU POSTED THE CROPPED FLARES. Thank you.

I LOVE them on you, Lisa.

The footwear makes the look along with the shorter cropped length. High heeled, high vamped and low contrast. Just flattering enough and a hundred thumbs up. (I will tuck my top - because I'm a tucker and I love the long leg line from the hips up).

Your hair looks stunning too.

Remember that there are no fashion rules - just guidelines.

vivian - my hair got too short over the last few months and I'm trying to let it fill out and get more length and softness on top. Longer bang too. Nothing drastic, just more hair I have to watch that severe look I can get as I get older - it does me no favours.

Susie

Seeing these on you, I like them much better than on the models that Angie featured. You are helping to turn my poison eye for pants of that length!

And I really like your sandals. Gray sandals- and shoes that aren't suede- are always tough to find. Just like navy. Why is that?

Sal

Great look all round. Hair make-up and jewelry are awesome!

And I like the top jeans wedges combination very much. With your lovely long legs it really works.

A great look!

Just my two cents...you look fantastic! I was looking to see if you are petite like me...As Angie mentioned too, if I wear a longer top, I give myself some more length to pull off the look with some heel height. You look like you know what you are doing!! I love everything you are wearing. I like flared pants no matter the length....and your shoes are the cutest ever....soooooo neat.....love them....they look comfy too. Thank you for sharing!

exactly Susie! two colours I wear all the time yet can rarely find. Thanks for the feedback ladies - it's good to know that i'm not off in wonderland thinking these jeans are the bomb

Melissa - thank you! Not really petite, but I don't look tall either. How tall are you? I'm 5'5''. I have longish legs though so maybe that's my saving grace. I never know what the heck is going on with proportions - it's all intuitive to me. If it looks weird, I usually can recognize it on myself.

Fantastic--and so good to know that crop tops will not be required! These pictures confirm this as a look with movement and balance. I think it could be a hot trend.

I am 5'4"
I was just going to comment again on your post too! Such a great outfit and look! I had never heard of Tsubo before your post...ever....now I am a Tsubo stalker. Thanks a lot. I am returning all the shoes I just bought!!!!!!! Oh yes, forgot to mention, yeah to the top...like the sleeveless for summer...A++++

If anyone sees me in a cropped top they have my permission to take me aside and make sure I've taken my medication that day.

These do look great on you - I can see why you love them. Great wedges and tank too!

Looks great ... Love the new shoes! I got white and olive Free People crops this spring, and am a big fan.

I was having a hard time adjusting to the look of flared crops...most of the examples Angie posted just looked super odd to me (tbh)...but on you they look amazing! I love how you styled and those wedges are gorgeous! Very flattering to my eye!

jackiec

LOVE this. You got those at the Bay?? Uh oh. They are awesome. Love the whole look. And I could go on and on about the shoes. Wow.

merwoman

Echoing Susie - you should be the model for this look! And love the shoes - grey footwear of any type is a HEWI for me!

Joyce B

What a fab outfit!

Marilyn

You look amazing from the hair and makeup down to the shoes. Love the crops!

I feel the same way about crop tops. LOL I've stopped trying them because they're just ridiculous on me.

Suz

Fabulous outfit! You look wonderful in this. And what a lucky find with the sandals. Grey is such a great colour and so hard to find. I love this low contrast look on you with the silver jewellery. Beautiful.

columbine(erin)

You look fab. I was really hoping to see some cropped flares on someone who isn't 5'11", so thank you! I like the longer length top over them and not tucking. I'm 5'3'' so not sure I could pull this off but would like to try it. The grey shades look awesome on you.

donnat

They look awsome on you!

Gaylene

What can I add to the raves above? You've nailed the cropped flares better than anyone I've ever seen. And those Tsubos are awesome shoes--if I was a decade younger, I'll be lurking in the bushes to steal them from you.

Firecracker (Sharan)

Lisa, I think you just created the rules. It looks fabulous. Love the cropped jeans on you, and you make that tank look super cool. The platform sandals are an awesome find. I like your addition of the necklace--a kind of rough-hewn and arty look.

Deb

Look at you! Cool chic! This simple styling is perfect and the whole look seems comfortable and of the moment. You look terrific Lisa.

Sveta

OK, that was the straw to break the camel's back. Now I am officially considering the cropped flares as a possibility for me because they look so darn good on you! I hope that heels are not pre-requisite for them though...

Holy cow you guys! You are the best ! Really they are just jeans- in fact these are the easiest pair I've ever owned. I went back to The Bay (Jackie, I know , right?) and they didn't have them in any other washes or colours. Here is proof positive that a trend can work on an absolutely average body - i.e. mine. I am totally middle of the road in height and size - and here you go.
