I get so stuck in my own little head about what I wear with what, that this exercise was really eye-opening. Now I have a new orange sweater that needs some experimentation... And Lisa and Cheryl...puuuuhleeze!

I got over my initial enthusiasm too, after picturing me in a pair. Yeah, no.  No one needs to see a poufy belly highlighted in pink or red - lol. dakotacheryl on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/building-a-capsule-for-hot-pink-pants/page/2#post-1667454 Thu, 26 May 2016 11:09:41 +0000 dakotacheryl 1667454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Loved all but #2.  You and Tanya look great in your colored crops...makes me think I might...hah...just doesn't look the same in a size 12 LOL.. unfrumped on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/building-a-capsule-for-hot-pink-pants/page/2#post-1667320 Thu, 26 May 2016 02:58:48 +0000 unfrumped 1667320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Super pants! Very random here, but: White is a slam dunk for midsummer Taupe and nude look great with your skin tones and hair and the pink The navy sweater, GOLD jewelry and nude shoes are a rich, elegant version If you wish to try other colors, think color wheel-opposites- emerald in a solid or print, or a form of teal; Cobalt maybe for punchy color blocking, though navy is more subdued. how would a more orangey or cognac color work? I love orange and raspberry together.

Everything looks pretty great to me but I'm liking the mushroom/taupe tops the best...seems more sophisticated than black/white or prints to my eye.

So excited! I love the color of the pants and they fit you very well. Somehow in my mind I thought they were a lighter 'hot' pink. Seeing the pictures really helped. I think the dark dotted top looks really well with the pants, good contrast. lyn67 on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/building-a-capsule-for-hot-pink-pants/page/2#post-1666821 Wed, 25 May 2016 11:15:01 +0000 lyn67 1666821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, great pants, and quite a big capsule from your existing closet! I like them all, particulary with the patterned tops and except nr 11(find the color of the top too muddy for the bright hot pink). rachylou on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/building-a-capsule-for-hot-pink-pants/page/2#post-1666708 Wed, 25 May 2016 02:31:32 +0000 rachylou 1666708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ All great.

I really ought to do this for *shorts I hardly wear* too. I Love #4,6,9,10 & 12. I also really like the striped top with the pants. Despite being pink, these are surprisingly versatile!!!! They look good with all tops here....just that we all have favourites based on our own preferences. But all of these work Anonymous on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/building-a-capsule-for-hot-pink-pants/page/2#post-1666693 Wed, 25 May 2016 02:10:26 +0000 Anonymous 1666693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They all look good to me but my favorites are 7,8,10 ,&12. You came up with a nice variety of looks. I hope that you'll wear them often. They are happy pants.

My great-aunt Lucille never wore pants.  Ever.  Until Uncle Stacy died.  After that, she bought a new washer/dryer (she still had a wringer washer in the 90's) and, at the age of 93, wore her first pair of pants.  They were hot pink.  She called them "hot pants."   I loved my Aunt Lucille.  She was 6 ft tall in her prime (still 5'8" at 95).  That's a lot of hot pants!

I've had so much fun with this, and I'm excited to wear a few of these. Once I got past the mental block about *what colors I wear with what*, it was quite liberating! I've been mentally sorting through some orphans tonight. I think I'll put a few of them through this same exercise. Thanks so much for the inspiration, Angie!

I think my favorite is #11. I like the muted color with the bright pink.

Sal on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/building-a-capsule-for-hot-pink-pants#post-1666543 Tue, 24 May 2016 22:13:38 +0000 Sal 1666543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love these on you. I really like 4 5 7 10 13!! I think 2 is too big now, and I find 11 a little muddy against the clear top.  I could see a tunic top with the pants if you wanted a different silhouette, maybe a more streamlined tunic in a shift shape. I love 13.....I adore the navy top and the camel shoes and belt,  very modern and crisp.

My personal favorites are #5, 6, 8, 11 & 13. I even think #2 could work with some tweaking (addition of black shoes, perhaps?).
