Hi Ladies,

Fell hard for these and I'm wearing them for the first time tonight out for dinner.

Jersey Paris Pants - Motto
Draped Top - Katie's
Sandals - Kmart

These pants now have pride of place hanging next to my skirted leggings as one of my two favourite bottoms They are insanely comfortable and surprisingly flattering (I think). I was expecting them to fall into the JFE category.

Thanks for looking. What do you think? More than JFE?

Happy weekend

Wow you look gorgeous! Definitely more than JFE. This looks like a very glamorous jumpsuit, it is fantastic how the black of your top matches the pants.

No but it's on its way! I'm quite excited...the delay has added to the excitement I think..lol.

ps. Goodness, I just had a look at them on the Motto site, and I would never have given them a second glance. I think that you need to be the Motto model Deborah.

Coco can't wait for you to get your goodies:). And thank you. Without sounding arrogant (I hope) I prefer how they look on me. Other ladies I have fitted look better than the model too! Weird!

I think I might be a bit hippy for those but they look fantastic on you. I think your hair looks wonderful, too. You've inspired me to keep on with my own grow-out journey. This is about the point where I get frustrated with my hair and whack it off again.

I love the drape of the pant and find it to be very flattering Deborah.

Are you growing your hair out? I haven't spent enough time reading on YLF to keep up with what everyone is up to lately.

You look great! I love the belt and how it provides a break between the drapey top and the drapey pants.

These are quite cool--sort of like a harem pant but better, without the droopy crotch. Nice taper in the leg and fun with those sandals--I forget your weather is warming up!

Thank you very much Fabbers! I do love these pants:).

Cheryle, no not growing my hair, just coming up to cut and colour time:). My hair grows faster than the speed of light (just kidding) but it dies grow fast and I usually have s little tidy up at 3 weeks to help me get thru to the 6 week cut and colour xx

Amazing. These are definitely not JFE - they are without question flattering on you. And I love how the drape of the top echoes the drape in the pants. They look like they were meant to be worn together.

I am STILL considering getting those half-skirted leggings/pants - the Nevada pants. Do you have any pictures of you trying those on? I am interested in how they might look on a "real" person (not that models aren't real people, but their proportions generally are not very much like mine).

Were these an American brand, I wouldn't hesitate to order them, but with shipping they would be close to $100, and it would not be worth it to ship them back, so I kind of have to be sure before I order!

Echo, the Nevada Pant is stunning. I have tried them on and considered buying them. But never took pics. If I have time when next in, I will dress up and take a pic:) One of my girlfriends has them.

They are beautiful fabric and quite a streamlined design. I was absolutely and pleasantly surprised at how good they looked on me. Being only 5ft2 I thought the length of the skirt would be off on me but somehow the proportions were lovely.

The Nevada Pant is now $69.95 (on sale) and shipping is 25.00. I personally think they would be a great investment and you have my word I would never recommend something if I couldn't honestly vouch for the quality etc of the garment:) Echo I don't think I have ever 'seen' you so I can't comment re your body type but your profile says apple / hourglass which is what I am, so I would assume they would work for you. xxx

Elizabeth, I *knew* you would like these my style sister

Okay, just one last question. Are the Nevada pants a fabric like the Paris pants you are wearing in this post? Or are they are more cotton-type jersey? My preference is the former (easier to fit, even if the size is slightly off). And do they run TTS? Smaller? I tend to have thick legs and sometimes cotton jersey doesn't stretch enough to accommodate my calves. Sorry to have so many questions.

Gorgeous jumpsuit effect and I love how you have acquired a signature belt. Motto should use you as their model and stylist.

They are so elegant and chic on you, Deborah. Once again, you outdo the online picture in "selling" the clothing item. Very flattering indeed! I like how you're wearing them with the drapy top and statement belt.

Echo they are the dressy jersey like the Paris Pants. Motto don't do the cotton type jersey (like tshirt material) at all This jersey is a nice weight which means the fabric falls and drapes very well. My skirted leggings (the bella pants) are the same fabric as the Nevada and everything stays in place. I have skinny legs so the pant bit does wear like a skinny pant rather than a legging.

I would say their sizes are true to size and heading toward generous. I My bottoms are all size AU size 10 (US 6) which I would say is my true size:)
