I didn't think I would like the cords but I do, they have a stretch element to them and they come in a lot of pretty colors for fall. &nbsp;I wore the smaller of my two sizes in the cords FYI. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/binge-haul-part-3-bottoms#post-1582189 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 16:39:08 +0000 Beth Ann 1582189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great variety -- and wise choices --- here!</p> <p>I hear you on the black pants + bright top formula. I wasted most of my 30s wearing that uniform!&nbsp; Still, black pants are a staple for a reason!&nbsp; </p> <p>I don't do well with NYDJ, but I keep meaning to trying Kut.&nbsp; Love your red britches! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/binge-haul-part-3-bottoms#post-1582174 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 16:02:09 +0000 abc 1582174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tracey, thanks. &nbsp;Yes, I have to buy for the bod I have now. &nbsp;No exceptions.</p> <p>unfrumped, I think NOT shopping for a while really helped me hone in on what I wanted and needed. &nbsp;I used to wear black pants nearly every day so I have to be smart about which ones I bring back into the closet, but now that I learned a lot on YLF I don't think I will ever get back to that formula again, there's way too much fun to be had with other colors and silhouettes. &nbsp;The two pair I did get will work well in my life.</p> <p>Susie, thanks! &nbsp;I'm hoping these add just the variety I need.</p> <p>Diane, thanks sweetie! &nbsp;I already wore the red pants and they're comfy. &nbsp;Will wear the leggings soon and try to snap a pic :)</p> <p>lyn67, thanks! &nbsp;I am glad I'm not alone in pant shopping (denial party of 1 checking in here, haha). &nbsp;Anyway I'm glad you see some cohesion between the items. &nbsp;I'll soon know :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/binge-haul-part-3-bottoms#post-1582082 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 11:41:49 +0000 lyn67 1582082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>God knows, I hate &nbsp;pants, and shopping for pants, but when I get something working for me, I buy in bulk, too-(2 pieces is bulk for me:-)). These are great pieces all, and now, can't wait to see all the 4 threads working together in your wiw's!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/binge-haul-part-3-bottoms#post-1582073 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 11:04:50 +0000 Anonymous 1582073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, love the red pants and the leggings! All are fab though. Way to go ABC! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/binge-haul-part-3-bottoms#post-1581985 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 02:42:34 +0000 Susie 1581985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with unfrumped that this collection looks cohesive, yet with nice variety. I think you built a really great pants capsule- good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/binge-haul-part-3-bottoms#post-1581912 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 23:36:29 +0000 unfrumped 1581912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Again, these look like a great selection to create several good silhouettes. I have more black pants than anyone, I believe, so you won't hear a peep from me. The NYDJ jeans look great. And Angie was singing the praises of the Lysse leggings. So again. looks like variety without duplication. You are a shopping wizard! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/binge-haul-part-3-bottoms#post-1581896 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 22:30:56 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1581896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for dressing the body you have!

You have a whole new wardrobe, really. This is amazing. Great shopping and I can't wait to see some outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/binge-haul-part-3-bottoms#post-1581868 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 21:12:37 +0000 abc 1581868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, pants. &nbsp;How I love thee, and wear thee every day. &nbsp;But oh how I hate to SHOP for thee!!!</p> <p>Let's face it, I've put on some pounds lately. &nbsp;No denying. &nbsp;Time to suck it up and get some new pants. &nbsp;The 2 pairs of Gap jeans I got a while back are not cutting it on their own.</p> <p>So here goes...</p> <p>Lane Bryant Lena trouser - fit well, what can I say. &nbsp;Average black pants but one does need a pair or two.</p> <p>Lysse leggings with faux leather panels down the side - probably should have sized up as the faux part doesn't have as much give, but I can wear them and all my tunics cover the bits. &nbsp;My favorite brand of leggings. &nbsp;Amazon had them on sale, too.</p> <p>Christopher banks pants - again, black pants, snooze. &nbsp;New to me store. &nbsp;I had tried on black pants ad nauseum all trip but couldn't accept the calf sucking on the ponte ones, guess it's just my body, but I wasn't sold on any I tried on. &nbsp;These are super comfy (flew home in them) and didn't stretch out much. &nbsp;My impression of the store was somewhat like Chicos, you had to search but could find some decent if not functional things.</p> <p>NYDJ barbara bootcut jeans - dark wash, nice bootcut that was the perfect length w/my new boots. &nbsp;Having bootcut jeans again opens up another silhouette and pairs well with some existing sweaters that were orphaned when I purged the old bootcuts.</p> <p>KUT Diana skinny cords - I saw these on YLF and Nordstrom but I really didn't think I would end up getting them. &nbsp;Story changed when I saw them and tried them on, really like them and the color is fun for fall /winter and pairs well with a lot of the black and white tops I've gotten lately.</p> <p>KUT stevie straight legs - fit me nothing like the model. &nbsp;Good straight leg jean, functional.</p> <p>Thoughts and feedback welcome!!</p> <p>pinned here:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/angelabcarlton/shopping-list-fulfilled/">https://www.pinterest.com/ange.....fulfilled/</a></p> <p> </p>
