I just find full length pants a lot more flattering than cropped pants (remember when Tim Gunn used to tell women on his fashion show to ditch all the capris in their closet?)--but I have to agree that matching shoes with cropped pants is also more complicated.WRAFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652924141617999701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-67743000882320242422017-03-17T09:40:26.990-04:002017-03-17T09:40:26.990-04:00Just want to agree with the posters above about J ...Just want to agree with the posters above about J Crew's apparent HATE of full length pants.

I'm only 5'4" so the 32" inseam on the regular length is WAY too long for me (want to wear these with flats) and they're sold out in my size in Petite. More importantly, all the reviews from shorter ladies suggest they are not flattering because they're too wide in the leg/too long in the rise. I'm glad they work for you--I wish they would work for me too! But I really appreciate your kind suggestion. The hunt continues.

I...That's my impression as well, silver_lining! I've done a few double-takes while browsing sale and the thought process is something like, 'Didn't that JUST come out?' I think JC's production record must be so delayed, so off -- releasing items too late in the season so that they've no choice but to discount quickly. (I noticed this last year as well.)<br /><br />Exactly a week ago I bought those Soft petal blossom earrings - I believe they're from early February per one review on the site. Anyways, I bought them on sale last week (I think they came out to $32), but currently they're in the Sale section for $30 with 30% off or some such.
