WIW new stuff and seeking jean roll feedback

WIW 5 aug 2015

I will preface this with saying - SHEESH - I look tired. No wonder, I was up from 3:30-5am today (couldn't sleep), so please excuse the weary eyes and funny look on my face and unstyled hair (it's clean at least!). Maybe I should have cut my head off in the pic LOL

New items head to toe except jewelry and booties from about a year ago which I am wearing due to a nudge by Suz. Thinking of replacing them as they're faux leather, don't stretch and kind of annoy me. Gonna wear them a few times to see if replacing makes sense.

Items:
Blazer - Julio (local store)
Top - Zara
Jeans - Gap
Booties - forgot the brand, older
Pendant - coach outlet
Watch - Michele (via Rack)

Please give me feedback (HONEST) on the jean roll. I am not content with it. It's quite thick and I don't know it's hitting at the right point on my leg taking into consideration the bootie. I feel kind of stumpy.

Hey kiddo

I love that blazer!

Ok, about the jean roll, I kind of need another photo angle. Here, I can't see clearly where the shoes end and jeans start. Click a profile pic please

I think it's a combination of too thick a roll, but also the jeans fit skinny. I think rolling works better with either boyfriend or at least a straight leg.
So for those specific jeans, unrolled.

Anna what if there is no skin showing between pant and bootie? Ok or no?

Mannera I left home so I will see if I can find a mirror

Blazer looks fabulous. No wonder you love it. It loves you right back.

The jeans are too skinny to roll (to Anna's point). Rolls tend to look best on a roomier fit. These are great skinny jeans though. Do you have a roomier fit that you can roll at the hems?

It's not really the amount of skin exposure that will do the trick - it's the fit.

It's ok that no skin will show, but you will lose the detail at the top of the boot.
Honestly I think the whole look would work better with an oxford.

Or cropped jeans, like in the Zara pic.

I'm loving all the new items ABC. The blazer and tee are terrific, and so are the jeans. You've had some good advice re-the jeans. Just a matter of the sort of jean suited to rolling.

Oh, and you look lovely, I see no tiredness
