On the photos—I wish I could figure out how to get them better. </p> <p>Sloper, yes, it’s flocked denim. I used to wear them towards the end of the year, in a holidays sort of way. I honestly can’t remember how big I was when I got them. I’m pretty confident about the fit. It’s the general cut/style that I’m wondering about. </p> <p>Rachylou, I might pull out the cape I got at market a couple years ago—it has black trim and a floral pattern. </p> <p>Thanks Angie. How do you get your home photos to turn out so well? I’m standing in front of a window, with the light on, using flash. I might make one more attempt on the balcony, and just shoot the bottom half. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/80s-yes%e2%80%94but-in-a-good-way#post-2176754 Sun, 07 Mar 2021 09:29:51 +0000 Zaeobi 2176754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit looks good but agree with the others that we might need a bit of a brighter/ more detailed full-length photo to be able to judge accurately. </p> <p>I actually used to have a long sleeved top in a similar pattern - it was navy blue with black flocked florals. If I ever find it again when I go back home, I can show you as your forum twin, lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/80s-yes%e2%80%94but-in-a-good-way#post-2176719 Sun, 07 Mar 2021 02:35:36 +0000 Sloper 2176719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a nice fabric - is that flocking on denim?</p> <p>I agree with Angie - the side view is good.<br />Hard to tell from front - did you have these when you were at a larger size?&nbsp; They just seem a bit baggy at the hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/80s-yes%e2%80%94but-in-a-good-way#post-2176702 Sun, 07 Mar 2021 00:12:44 +0000 rachylou 2176702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d be wanting to pair them with a drapey sweater and one of my long sweeping coats... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/80s-yes%e2%80%94but-in-a-good-way#post-2176680 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 22:18:58 +0000 Angie 2176680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm struggling to see the fit and silhouette in enough detail in these pics, but they look like they could work like a carrot leg. Side view looks good, and the flocked denim is fun.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/80s-yes%e2%80%94but-in-a-good-way#post-2176550 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 09:49:13 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2176550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking through my closet in light of Angie’s trends report this week, my eye fell on these pants. I haven’t worn them in ages, because of the shape of the legs, but I’ve held onto them because of the flocked fabric. It’s the kind of luxe detail/ lurking quirk that appeals to me. I think of the legs as being very carrot-shaped, so am surprised to see my butt here. What do we think of the pants? Should they come out to play?</p> <p>I’’m truly undecided, but I’m wearing them for errands today, to see how I feel. If I keep them, this is one idea for how to style them. It didn’t even really matter, because my jacket covered everything on top. It is hair wash day; I wore a hat. The final pic is how I went to the market. Some day I’ll go someplace indoors where I can take those layers off, but that day isn’t here yet.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and commenting. I always appreciate hearing why people “vote” the way they do on yes/no posts. Sorry for my recent forum-hogging. </p> <p>ETA. I considered wearing a simple fabric mask, but chose the ffp2/kn95 instead, because the market is crowded. </p>
