Love #1 as well, and agree with Sveta that a tuck or a rounded hem would make all the difference to #3. I'm wondering if you could wear your red shoes with the pants too?</p> <p>Ps: Them flaming jeans would be so good for bawling out a recalcitrant student! Lucifer's sweet sister! (In fact, add Shakespeare's Sisters heavy eye make-up to complete, and your black jacket.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-598276 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 01:24:43 +0000 Amy 598276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Anna and Jenava and I recently saw Orpheus. I could totally see one of the performers in that opera wearing flaming jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-598259 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 01:05:42 +0000 Beth Ann 598259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Came home from a l---o----n----g day at work to such fun and helpful responses! #2 is my favorite, too! And thanks for the suggestions regarding #3.</p> <p>A.J --- Yes, we would be a pair, wouldn't we!</p> <p>Amy -- buahahahaha! I really want to wear these to teach in -- of course they're more rock singer than opera singer, but there are always those far-out German operas!</p> <p>Lyn -- these jeans are straight legs. They're available at Macy's, but only in blue, red and black. They're a nice weight for "coverage," if you know what I mean!</p> <p>Marianna -- Yes, this is the pant/top combo (#3) I wore to the meetup. I like it better with the semi-tuck and no jacket (which is good, because I tend to run warm, and it'll be a great go-to outfit in early fall). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-598258 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 01:04:28 +0000 Beth Ann 598258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Came home from a l---o----n----g day at work to such fun and helpful responses! #2 is my favorite, too!

I like #1 and #2 as-is, very cute. Also agree with Deborah that ballet flats with #2 would look a bit sharper (black, nude, metallic...), and with Sveta that the hem of the shirt being straight in #3 makes the proportions a bit off as well as the black shoes are a bit heavy there. Aubergine for fall sounds lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-598101 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:22:27 +0000 san 598101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits. Great title for the post too and I laughed at Amy's picture of real fire britches. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-598000 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:28:01 +0000 Heather 598000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Admittedly, I had to read your title post more than once. And I had a chuckle. LOL.</p> <p>BA, I totally love you in the red trousers and I adore your black and white print mixes and jacket mix. Well done, lady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597958 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:34:12 +0000 Meredith1953 597958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann,<br /> I love the 1 and 2 pics so much!!! The number three is also nice but I agree that a curved hem would work better with that shirt then the straight hem. The shoes in #1 and #2 are adorable! You have a beautiful smile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597951 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:11:56 +0000 Sarah A 597951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>totally had to click on this one... love the fire britches remixes. Like everyone, I like 1 and 2 better, think the partial tuck is a great idea for #3. Two thumbs up for making red, white and black look modern... which is easier said than done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597933 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:48:48 +0000 Suz 597933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfits, and ditto Sveta on the hem of the top. I was experimenting with this the other day and noticed exactly the same thing. I can do untucked tops if they are curved, not if they are straight. Fascinating! </p> <p>And I just had to laugh, seeing your subject heading. How could we not click on that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597867 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:30:25 +0000 Vicki 597867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Red Pants Twin! I love your stylings, particularly #2, with that graphic contrast, which is so pretty...and, yes, cobalt and aubergine would look lovely on you this autumn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597861 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:18:51 +0000 catgirl 597861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Sveta's comment is spot-on re: #3 - it's the straight hem rather than the length that is chopping you up. The other two outfits must be worn out and about! They are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597859 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:18:40 +0000 celia 597859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock the red jeans and white.My favourite outfit is #2 but I like them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597761 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:26:48 +0000 Ana 597761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love red pants, Beth Ann! All the outfits are awesome! I think #2 is my favorite because I love the bold graphic shirt paired with the boldness of the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597757 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:24:17 +0000 lyn67 597757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the classic colour combo(black white and red) with a current look( jeans, moto jacket, stripes). Yeay!<br /> You definitely have to wear whites more often-you are brunette, why not???!<br /> (I also struggle with whites in any other seasons than summer(I'm blonde), but have a white denim jacket (postYLF) that I really love in spring and fall, too.<br /> Love the colourred pants too. Is that a straight leg? I usually cannot do skinnies in colours as I'm always concerned about my cellulite showing through on my thights, and haven't found a straight leg, yet. This one fits you perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597745 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:53:15 +0000 modgrl 597745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are great but I love your #2! That one is great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597744 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:50:35 +0000 bj1111 597744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, burn, baby, buuuuuurn.</p> <p>adore the fit and styling. extra love for your super mischievious "who me?" smile in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597741 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:39:37 +0000 Anonymous 597741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice fire-pants outfits! I love the black/grey/white with the red on you. I agree that a semi tuck on the last outfit might be fun. Do you have any black ballet flats? They might be fun to try as well. I love your black anorak, how fab it that?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597731 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:13:57 +0000 Amy 597731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love your remixes. Those jeans look fantastic on you.</p> <p>But, really, I think you should also get a pair like those pictured below </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597727 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:11:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 597727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! I love you in your fire britches! Outfits #1 and #2 in particular in fantastic. I agree that there's a proportion thing that's not quite working in pic #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597696 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:40:36 +0000 Sveta 597696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pic 1 and 2 are great. Of course you can and SHOULD wear white, Beth Ann. Thumbs up from me on a high contrast of white and black top.<br /> In pic.3 it is not the length of the top (it hits in the same spot another one does) but the fact that it is cut straight across your hips. Tucked (ir semi-tucked) it should look good. Isn't it the same one you wore with red jeans to the Chicago meetup? I am not crazy about these shoes with red jeans so, they seem too heavy due to the black color and their shape. Black and white canvas shoes go with red much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597688 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:58:23 +0000 Deborah 597688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great remixing! I love these red pants on you. Each of these combinations is fab however my favorite is #2. The canvas shoes are cute but I would love to see a Ballet flat in #2. And you have a very beautiful smile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597686 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:13:42 +0000 Mona 597686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BethAnn, that is some great remixing. I am going to wear my red jeans today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597683 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:42:39 +0000 jayne 597683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I loved 1-2. The length of the grey shirt in 3 bothered me. Can you tuck it? And add a scarf or contrast? The others had high contrast which really made top and bottom pop, but 3 was less contrast and left me wanting ....more </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597652 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:51:05 +0000 AJ 597652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FAB remixes of the "fire britches!" I thrifted a cropped pair that I need to decide if I'm keeping.</p> <p>(See pic below) Our coordinated outfits MUST meet!! : P SQUEE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597649 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:19:54 +0000 Kiwichik 597649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooooh red pants - I like. Love the striped T with star scarf. 2 is really cute not sure about 3 the python tunic with jacket proportions seem a bit off it may be where the straight edge of the tunic hits your hips. Slightly longer might be better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fire-britches-rides-again#post-597628 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 04:05:43 +0000 Beth Ann 597628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. Channeling Meredith<br /> Red Pants ("Mandie" from Bandolinoblu)<br /> Linen-like Anorak from Kohl's (last year)<br /> Black/White striped T, Chaps from Kohl's<br /> Star scarf, Target<br /> B/W canvas shoes, Payless (old)</p> <p>I'm wearing one of Meredith's best formulas here -- although I won't try to copy her radiant, open smile. The angle of the photo isn't the best, but I'm beginning to think that white can be a good "color" for me, and I wear very little of it.</p> <p>2. Same jeans and shoes<br /> Top from NY&amp;Co Outlet<br /> Ponte moto jacket from JCP (last year)</p> <p>I'll wear this top a lot when it's warmer. What do you think about the high contrast and proportion? Again, I'm liking the white. I just "previewed" this look today -- didn't actually wear these pants three days in a row (hee).</p> <p>3. Same jeans, moto and shoes<br /> Python tunic, Apr 9, Kohl's</p> <p>A little "grinning" here, but it may just be a result of the flash. This might make a good travel capsule outfit. Again, I didn't wear this look out today, but I'm trying to learn to do better and broader remixing. I'd probably wear this one with booties. </p> <p>What about cobalt or aubergine jeans for Autumn? Anything I should do more? Anything I should avoid at all costs? </p>
