Q&A about individual items, ensembles, and wardrobe

black pants question

Sorry for so many posts today - this should be the last.
I have had these pants for 10 years. They fit well and are in fairly good condition.
But... something seems a bit off

Here they are: (I never wear them tucked; this is just for demo purposes) http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_7535.jpg

One way I frequently wear them is this:

(this top has Ylf and AAR but I still am unsure about whether it is flattering)
It tends to be my go-to outfit if I am on the creche roster at church - ie on the floor a lot

This is with my old favourite jumper, also from 1999 (it was a big shopping year!)
I love this colour, but the outfit seems somewhat lacking :

They look a little baggy, Anne. The tucked picture shows that they fit in the waist, but from looking at the legs it wouldn't seem so. I think they have way too much volume to wear with that voluminous top. In the last picture they look shorter- are you wearing different shoes? They look a little dated- I think it's time for a new pair of black pants.

I think they look a little big around the hips i think it's time to treat yourself to a new pair x

Thanks Khris and Loulou. They are the same shoes in all the pics.

I agree... treat yourself to a new pair of black pants. Those aren't doing anything for your slim figure!

Interesting - you know when I bought them, I went for this (larger size) fit my hips/ bottom! The waist was too loose then. Now ten years later the waist fits ( I never took it in) and the hips are too loose!

Anne, I agree - they are a bit too baggy in the hips.

They look dated, Anne. Time to say good bye. But I still think the floral top is sweet with jeans :0)

Anne, I agree with the others about the pants. About the jumper...it looks a bit short for pants, do you think? What about a longer layer underneath the jumper or trying it with a skirt? You could also put a flower pin on the jumper to give it a more current look. You look amazing in that color blue.

Okay it is going, well at least I might demote the pants to just wearing around the house. I bought some new pants this year.

Thanks for the suggestions Dani. I do love that colour and am looking to replicate the jumper but haven't managed to yet.
