Today I wanted to roll my blush jeans and wear blush sandals, but it was too cold. Here's what I ended up with using Angie's trick of sheer knee highs with the more closed loafers.
Jeans: Kut
Tee: generic no name
Silk topper: Citron ( shrunk purposefully in the dryer)
Loafers: Adam Tucker for Me Too
Belt: Target
I'm not confident about the proportions here and the jean roll. Should it be higher or lower? I wore the kimono jacket buttoned up tunic style most of the day but didn't get a photo. Does it look ok open or too much like an open blouse? Thank you for your comments and help to improve my style.
Knee Highs for warmth today

I had to add them from my phone. I hope they are there now.

Nice colors!
I don't think that the shirt reads too much like a blouse. In fact, I thought it was a blazer until you mentioned otherwise. :^)
As for the pants roll, I would be curious to see what it looks like rolled a little higher up. However, I am still a novice in such matters. :^)

Gigi, I suspect that a higher roll will look better. My fear was that the tops of the knee highs would show if rolled too high.

Hm I think the roll up a little higher to expose a bit more skin OR a little lower to echo the long lengths would work perfectly. The jacket looks fine like this, if you hadn't said otherwise I'd also have thought it was a blazer.

I like! I think the kimono looks great. The proportions are nice too. I think I would like this more without a roll! How's that for a spanner?! ;)

The khakis and loafers look great. Did the knee highs keep you warm, joy?

I think roll works as is because if the tapered leg and low contrast between jeans, shoes and your skin but try to roll it higher as well.
Nice topper! -

Mona, the knee highs really do help keep feet warmer. The temperatures were 40's-50's F.
I'm glad that the kimono-esque top is working as a jacket. It's a good weight for summer air conditioning.
Sveta, thank you for coming back. I don't know why my phone photos are now not loading on my tablet. I suspect it has something to do with iCloud.
Gigi, Aida , Sveta and Neel, your rolling comments are so helpful. When I try this again on a cool day, I plan to wear older sheer pantyhose under the jeans for warmth and to be able to roll higher with confidence. -

That's the way to do it, Joy.
The jeans look great this length - or you can try one more roll. It's all very forgiving because of the low contrast on your leg line. xo

I love the proportions and the colors. I think the roll works just fine. (Reminds me of how I rolled my pants in jr. high! )
