I don't see the assaults against figure flattery that you mention, not at all! I think it's too easy to be hard on your body when you have a young baby. I know I've been doing the same thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1007077 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:12:31 +0000 Parsley 1007077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great MOTG outfit!<br /> I love those pants, and I love the freedom that the whole outfit represents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1007063 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:54:17 +0000 goldenpig 1007063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see tummy or cankles (I hate that word!) at all--you've got very pretty legs and figure!

Ok they just made into my list of top things to hunt when back home </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006873 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 09:32:38 +0000 Hil 1006873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mani - I see no tummy or cankles - just a casually put together mom going for a stroll! Awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006845 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 07:37:44 +0000 rae 1006845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not have known the pants were gear! They do look like they are "track inspired" slouchy harem-ish pants. Bonus that they were made with workouts in mind; you could do anything in them, I bet.&nbsp;</p> <p>And you know what? Although you see an outfit that shows a tummy and cankles, I see an outfit that actually does a lot to bring the eyes in and up. The cut of the neckline, the way the top drapes to show the narrow part of your ribcage, the vertical curve of the vine print... then you also show your slim wrists and ankles and keep the leg line long with lots of exposed foot.&nbsp;</p> <p>Just goes to show that letting yourself be free helps things fall in place, I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006837 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 06:53:26 +0000 Lantana 1006837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This pairing looks good in both colour and line. YLF.<br /> I fully support choosing to wear "good" at home: (a) one is worth it, isn't that so? (b) if not now, when?<br /> Hmm ...pondering... is "fancy schlepping" an oxymoron? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006788 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 04:17:54 +0000 Marley 1006788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I <i>love </i>the 3-fold sense of personal freedom that this outfit represents!&nbsp; And - the outfit itself is great.&nbsp; Just the right touch of edgy with casual and comfy!&nbsp; Great combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006778 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 04:04:29 +0000 ManidipaM 1006778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! :: humbly bent head and queenly wave as cued by Angie:: :-p</p> <p>Beth Ann, the first set of footwear I purchased after finding YLF was bronze slip-ons---because so many people vowed they were the best thing after nude-for-you. Loved them. Got two more: flats and wedge sandals. Only yesterday was a bit of a messy day after downpours and I wanted a high-vamped shoe for protection in the wet grass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006766 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 03:47:07 +0000 Jaime 1006766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha!

You look terrific, Manidipa, and please banish the thought of cankles.

You are too funny.<br />I like the outfit, especially the way you bring the slouchy pants into streetwear. Worn this way, they don't look like gear, and I don't see any disconnect between the dressy level of top and pants. <br />Hooray for disregarding old rules that prevent us from enjoying our clothes!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006527 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:25:51 +0000 Anonymous 1006527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mani, I really love those slouchy trousers on you. And the light grey tones flatter your skin tone. Lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006514 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:13:03 +0000 anchie 1006514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reall nice. Like the pants a lot. They look very confy, but cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006510 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:09:42 +0000 ramya 1006510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006497 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 17:59:12 +0000 Thistle 1006497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants look like on trend harem pants to me. So fab. Love the blue, and the top looks lovely. I am glad you let it come out to play rather than save it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006494 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 17:55:04 +0000 Suz 1006494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants look way too elegant to come from the gear section! They look like slouchy harem type silky shorts! Love them! The blue is gorgeously intense. Of course I am a sucker for grey as well. I am glad you are wearing your "too good" top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006463 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 17:09:22 +0000 Sara L. 1006463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue and grey look really good together. You look casual yet pulled together. And you do NOT have cankles (I hate that word) your legs and ankles look nicely formed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-taupe-slouchypants#post-1006447 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 16:55:21 +0000 ManidipaM 1006447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grey knit top with white and taupe floral print. Navy slouchy pants from the activewear section. Worn at home with thongs and red loafers (not shown) for a walk in the park later. No bag as none needed for just keys and phone. (Photo brightened up to show the slouchy folds and pockets; not contracted jaundice IRL.)</p> <p>Not the most patriotic lead-in to Independence Day (for India) but this curious pairing represents a three-fold sense of personal freedom for me:<br /> 1. Freedom from traditional rules of matching: This top is slightly dressier (at least in my wardrobe) than the yoga gear-ish pants.<br /> 2. Freedom from the tyranny of too-good-to-wear: A year ago I would have thought the top too nice to waste on schlepping around the house and chosen a t-shirt instead.<br /> 3. Freedom from rules of figure flattery: This cuts my short self in half. Does not disguise my tummy or cankles. But feels so comfy both physically and psychologically--higher priorities to me just now.</p> <p>HOWEVER, I would still love any critiques and suggestions you can throw at it. I am here to learn to dress better. </p>
