WIW-MOTG purple cardigan, not covering bottom * new picture added *

HeleenH

It has been a long, long time since I posted a WIW. This is what I am wearing today, a typical MOTG day of bringing DD7 to school, going to pilates, visiting the walk in flue shot clinic at our GP, doing groceries and taking DD7 home. It is a little bit out of my comfort zone, normally I cover my bottom but these jeans fit so well in the waist that I decided to give this look a try. In an effort to make my legs look longer.
I am wearing a green and blue scarf by Romano, a purple knit cardigan by Kyra & Co, NYDJ skinny jeans and Gabor booties.

The colours here are splendid against your complexion! And it's so nice to see you post again

These are the jeans that you were so happy to find in a petite length, no? They are a fab fit. Duplicate!

It's true that cropped tops can lengthen the leg line - and your legs look proportionally long for sure. To my eye, I like this length of tight sweater worn with a roomy bottom. OR, I like a roomy cropped sweater worn with tight bottoms. I hope that make sense.

Thank you Angie. I will try the format tomorrow with the other pair of dark blue non-skinny jeans. I was lucky to get another pair of the same type on sale, in a medium blue blue jeans colour.
Before today I wore a blue bottom-covering cardigan with these jeans. I would take a picture of that to show you, but we have run out of daylight.

Thank you RunnerRae! We have just two daughers, a 7 year old and a 14 year old. The latter one cycles to school by herself, I walk the youngest to school.

Ooh - beautiful sweater in a beautiful color! As someone here recently advised me on a similar length sweater - I'll bet it would look even better with a skirt.

I am sure you are right, amiable. Too bad I don't have a suitable skirt, but I do wear it with my gray and purple dresses.

Ok, I get it 7 was the age. I have often seen people mention DD or DS with a # as in which number child it is chronologically. Well you still look fab!

Heleen, how lovely to see you post again! I hope all's well?
I agree with Angie about the top/bottom silhouettes and adore this colour combination on you, beautiful! Love the green and blue scarf with the purple.

Thank you Inge for welcoming me back! I have basically been busy. In the past year I have changed the primary schools library from a royal mess to a good school library and that consumed a lot of hours. I am wearing my other jeans now with the same top but I think it is not voluminous enough for the right effect.

I tried the other jeans, they are not that different in fit.

Wow, you *have* been busy, Heleen, the library "makeover" sounds like a very rewarding and fantastic project! I think you're right that the two pairs of jeans (both look fab on you!!) are not that different in fit.
