To roll or not to roll?

When I'm headed to class, it's usually in a bit of a rush.  I head straight from work, sometimes in my corporate wear (ha!) and sometimes I have a chance to pull a switch and change into more comfortable clothes.  Yesterday, I showed up at school wearing some skinny jeans with ballet flats (and a shirt, of course, but that doesn't really add to the story).  The skinnies were rolled up - I thought it looked pretty cute, but then a girl stopped me and.....

Beginning of conversation.
Girl: "Can I ask you a kind of strange question?"
Me: "Um.....sure?"
Girl: "Do you roll your jeans because they are too long or because it's fashionable?"
Me: "I guess a little bit of both?"
End of conversation.

I think the more accurate answer was that I did roll them for fashion's sake.  Like I said, I thought it looked cute.  If my pants were too long, I probably would have them hemmed or wear some heels, right?  So, what do you think?  Do you roll?

I'm a big fan of the rolled skinny - I think it's so cute and classic!

I haven't tried the boy/baggie jean roll like this - just not so sure I could pull it off. 

I'm not convinced Katie does either?

Rolled skinnies with heels.  I bet nobody asked SJP if her pants were just too long!

SJP works the baggie roll, too.

By the way, the man tight roll is pretty nasty and a total DON'T in my book.
This looks silly, don't you think?
