I can see some outfit labs coming up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356153 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 13:12:06 +0000 lyn67 2356153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the boots and the color of the pants so much-it would be a great accent color for summers and I would pai them with whites -my only&nbsp; hesitation would be the fabric. To be honest it really surprised me you wore your old satin pants so often (but these are also neutral palette-and perhaps easier to style). Do they not wrinkle at all or feel too hot all together in the big heat? These can&nbsp;&nbsp;surely&nbsp; be incorporated in weekday outfits, too but I&nbsp; always thought about satin (esp pants) to be more on the dressier side and a bit too fussy with the&nbsp; wrinkles.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356150 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 12:42:34 +0000 RobinF 2356150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh yes, fun find. It will be fun to see how you style them!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356141 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 11:15:09 +0000 Zaeobi 2356141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yayyy! I'd try wearing the silk trousers with lighter colours - I suspect they'd look sublime on you with lavender, light grey &amp; cognac. Plus the coral, pale blue, mustard &amp; white already in the pattern.</p> <p>(Not all at once - unless you want to lol!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356119 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 06:46:05 +0000 Sal 2356119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are on the way!! Hope they work- I thought there was a good enough chance!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356115 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 04:31:41 +0000 Anonymous 2356115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Say “yes.” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356113 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 04:07:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2356113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Wow, both are great, Sal. <br /></div><div>You will rock those palazzo pants. Yes, to the glam boho vibe for you, and you know the style works. They are so different from your current pair, which I see as a good thing. I immediately thought of your green crossbody bag, but looking in your Finds, I'm thinking maybe it won't be the right color (and you would probably want a different strap). But what about the mustard mules? They seem made for those pants. If you don't have a coral pink top, I think you might need one. But ivory or white will be beautiful. A jean jacket will work with them when you need a topper.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356112 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 03:58:44 +0000 Sal 2356112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hit yes.....love a second hand wildcard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356109 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 01:52:57 +0000 Angie 2356109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356107 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 01:48:02 +0000 Jaime 2356107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boots look great and I love the pants. They look like they would work with some warm browns like cognac too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356102 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 00:25:27 +0000 Ket 2356102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enable with a dance and cup of tea go for them both! Sounds like they’re great for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356100 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 00:16:16 +0000 Sal 2356100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suntiger and Irina.</p> <p>Suz - the boots will work for my dressier work days and for nights out (the heel would allow me to walk to dinner or movies etc which are 1-1.5 km or so from my house)</p> <p>I agree the pants are more spring and summer - I would either wear with a tonal green top (that I don't have), a white top (I have a couple), or potentially pink or grey or coral (I can't quite see the colours - and I don't think I have anything ideal).&nbsp; I would wear with a black top and black shoes as well but I don't think they would be as good.</p> <p>Will check the return policies - I haven't purchased through Designer Wardrobe previously but it is a growing specialist clothing resale site - previously I have had mostly good success with TradeMe (our version of EBay).&nbsp; The pants are the larger of my two sizes which is good as I could alter.</p> <p>The price is not low - but good for the brand.</p> <p>I do think they are me - they have that 70s boho glam look that I like for evening wear but they could be worn with a white tee and slides as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356097 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 22:31:38 +0000 Suz 2356097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm enabling, too!&nbsp;</p> <p>The boots look fun indeed.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the pants, I do think they might be harder to style -- the vertical stripes and the black cuff make these easy to work with your current tops and toppers, as you say. However, the green pants are a really fresh wild card. I expect you would wear them more in spring and (maybe) summer (if they are not too hot for that?). They definitely have a 70s glam integrity that works for your style and with the larger scale floral pattern remind me in mood/ tone of your new summer dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>What are the return policies like? Can you try things out at home?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356095 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 22:29:06 +0000 Irina 2356095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356090 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 20:13:32 +0000 Suntiger 2356090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enabling </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-purchase-and-a-maybe#post-2356088 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 20:05:42 +0000 Sal 2356088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did some browsing last night on a second hand resale site. I clicked yes on the snakeskin boots - a brand I like and they are a fun dressy option for me.</p> <p>Pondering these green Alamais silk pants - very appealing - I have worn my satin palazzo pants 23 times in less than two years so I think it’s a style that works for me. These are bolder in colour so potentially a bit trickier for tops than my existing ones which work so well with black?</p> <p>Shall I say yes? </p>
