  Yep. I agree the proportions are better in #1. Very pretty!

• MuseumGal replied 10 years ago

  I think they both look good.  I actually really like the rolled pants to show off your awesome sandals.

• deb replied 10 years ago

  Good job.

• peacechick replied 10 years ago

  I think both work but #1 looks more polished while #2 is more casual.

• Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

  I prefer #2.  In the pic, the rise on the pants seems a bit high for a messy tuck -- could just be the angle of the photo.  I love the feminine print in the strong, modern silhouette!

  Some days are more decisive than others!  This is when you say:  "This is why Jesus wore the same robe every day!"

  I think #1 was indeed better. Great top and vest!

• Deborah replied 10 years ago

  Beth Ann, busted! Yes that is correct about the rise. I am making do at the moment as I can't find a really good replacement for these pants. Normally I manage the tuck but I can see its a bit off :(

  And Jesus had something! There is much to be said for developing a signature look or uniform:)

  I do prefer the pants unrolled here but both looked good!
  It is hard to dress when you know it will be hot by the end of the day, and probably cold again by tomorrow night!

  It always amazes me the last minute micro-adjustments that seem to be necessary to make an outfit just right!

• DizzyLizzy replied 10 years ago

  I love this lesson in proportions. I know that when I don't get the proportions right (I think I'm about the same height - I'm 5'1") I feel really frumpy. It makes me realise that little adjustments can make a big difference to how you feel, not just how you look.

  You look much taller in #1 with the legs unrolled.

• Lantana replied 10 years ago

  Yes, I do see and I think you are very clever. The second styling shows off the shoes better though.

• Suz replied 10 years ago

  You made the right call! It definitely looks better with the pants unrolled, though as Penny says, it's sad to miss those shoes! But they will get another outing. And when you were sitting people would have seen more of them, which is also a nice detail.

  It's helpful for me to see that the perfect looks you post don't magically appear when you open your closet. Yes, you know your style and buy interesting, well-made clothes that convey it. But the shopping is just the beginning, isn't it? Thanks for showing us your process.

  Good call on changing the proportions and I love the pop of cobalt shoe! 

• Sveta replied 10 years ago

  I agree that proportions are better in #2.
  I think you need a skinnies pants that those straight legs for rolling the cuff.

• dustt replied 10 years ago

  really good call - the longer bottoms shorter top is a great look on you and that little pop of cobalt on the sandal is really fun.  I'm also coveting that white watch!! Nice touch!!

• Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

  Don't you hate mornings like that? Well I think you made the right final decision. This is a beautiful outfit with great fluidity, color combo and pattern.

• Catnip replied 10 years ago

  I like #1 better.  Having the white top looking shorter puts more emphasis on your face somehow.  The top untucked in #2 looks a little bit droopy.

  I do like the pants rolled to show off the beautiful sandals, but think they would look better worn this way with a different top.
