Love them all...so flattering on you. Number 2 is my favorite

Thank you, all! Especially Angie, chiming in during a busy time! Angie, I was feeling the same way you did -- either a long jacket or going cropped seemed to work best to me. And of course, changing up the silhouette with BFs or straight jeans might yield some new looks too.

I did get a couple of compliments from strangers last night (including a "oh, I need to know where you got those jeans!") when I took a bit of a walk through the mall (right across the street from the radio station, such a danger zone, but I had a return to make at Nordstrom Rack). It's funny, I'm not seeing many flare jeans on other people yet, but people seem to be liking them on me. Maybe I'm ahead of the curve around here.

Thank you for the advice about hemming too. I'm going to hold off until I've worn and washed them once or twice. For now, they're my "high heels" flares. The Gap bootcuts will be my "low heel" jeans. That seems like a good solution.

Janet, all the outfits are fab! Really like the pairing with the white blazer and the burgundy one!

Late to the party, but just wanted to chime in to say you looked awesome, esp in what you chose to wear. I also really liked the long black coat and blue jacket with this. Least fav is the burgandy.

Question... (you know where this is going, don't you? ) Is the ivory in that top really creamy? Or is it closer to white?

Elizabeth, I'd say it falls a little more on the cream spectrum. I added a couple of closeup photos below, trying to show the color. It's rainy here today but I took the pics under the skylight in our bathroom. The first shows my moto with the shirt. The second shows the moto (which is more cream) on the top right, and my optic white denim jacket on the lower right. I think this gives a pretty true picture of the whites, although the pattern is photographing a little dark. Hope that helps! Let me know if I can enable in any way.

Janet, you look fantastic! I missed this, and then after seeing Vivian's flare post I'm really liking this silhouette. I love what you wore! My favs were originally the blue moto, and of course the long black jacket. Wow. They all look smashing.

I love the cream jacket you chose, Janet, that's probably my favorite. But I have to give a little love for the burgundy blazer -- the color is amazing and the outfit has an awesome retro feel.

Thank you so much Janet! That was really kind of you to go to that much trouble to illustrate the colour. Hmm....

Wow these outfits are all super. And I like the contrast of black against a lighter wash denim. I'm trying to sport my bootcuts as often as I can because the wet weather will come far too early I'm sure and then I'll be in boots and skinnies everyday.

Those jeans are to die for and your legs look a mile long. My favorite is #2. There's just something so chick about a longer jacket. The #1 with the white jacket is awesome too.

I love the white jacket with the hoodie look the best, great-fitting jeans!
