And the fuchsia with red is so happy. You have many workable options here.</p> <p>The red pumps look amazing here as well, but I like the black and white tones as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy/page/2#post-872381 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 07:04:18 +0000 Day Vies 872381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all but #15 is my absolute favorite. I love the Sam Edelmans with the red trousers they seem to add a subtle bit of textute that lifts the whole look. SO very glad to see that you have not given up on the red trouser! Now if only I could find my perfect pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy/page/2#post-872083 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 00:49:48 +0000 Vicki 872083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, in a huge and wonderful way, for probably getting bleary-eyed looking at all this! Angie, you always make me feel so powerful and good as I find my way with new or seldom-used pieces. I'm so happy to see that a number of you also liked the camel and red combination (whether it was the shawl cardigan or the turtleneck). I liked it, too. There's something about that trench coat that pulled the striped tee together. Guess I'll have to be Ms. Columbo or a female sleuth and hope for cool weather! :O</p> <p>Shannon, thanks for the post of the red and pink. I love that photo and my only brightly-hued pink shirt is the casual Gap neon pink shirt, which I'm wondering may be too casual for these seemingly dressier (in my mind) pants. I'll give it a try. </p> <p>AJ, I love your idea of taking the Vince Camuto geo-print top in #17 and adding my black moto and red pointy shoes with this. Excellent idea!</p> <p>I didn't post a pic, but as Inge suggested, my oversized Gap cream sweater, with my cream/red/gold scarf, would be another great way to wear these pants.</p> <p>Leave it to Angie to have directed me to them last year. They are Express pants in a regular length. I haven't bought much in the way of Express and this was probably my only Express purchase in recent years, but after reading Angie's review on these pants, and the way they fit, I had to have them. The length was right and they are extremely comfortable.</p> <p>Everyone's comments are so meaningful, HELPFUL, and confidence-building. I agree that the happiness-factor is a personal thing and I'm learning to trust that more. After taming the red trousers, I am now ready to wear and go! Thanks again, my friends. ^_^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy/page/2#post-871783 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:26:14 +0000 pil 871783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red Rover, Red Rover, send Vicki right over!

I also have to make a special shout out for the turquoise shoes with the blouse in #7 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871572 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 17:01:56 +0000 Raisin 871572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All you guys with fab red pants are just killing me!

You look like you were born in these red trousers! And I can only imagine the amount of work this was, thank you for doing all of these iterations for us. What a gift! I love all of them really. 14, 15 and 17(with the printed blouse) are SO much fun. I guess I'm just kinda conventional, because I love stripes and the trench with it. You are one gorgeous, stylish woman! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871453 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:40:04 +0000 kellygirl 871453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy cow, these are fab! Who knew that red pants were SO versatile! I can't pick a fave but I am surprised by how much I like the red/pink. I always thought that combo was a "no go" but it looks amazing. Love 2,13, 15 and 17 too. You layer like nobody's business. I would look like the Michelin man! FAB x's 17!</p> <p>ETA: I got your VRC brochure in the mail yesterday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871412 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:16:12 +0000 MsMary 871412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I have to say your rear side is nothing short of riveting in those pants! Hubba hubba!</p> <p>These are all super fab! My favorites are 8, 15/16, and 17! Well done!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871409 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:13:19 +0000 Sarah A 871409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki!

I am in awe of how they look with the trench. Seriously I'm so copying you! My second favourite is the camel turtleneck, that is just such a sophisticated look. So much inspiration here. You are absolutely gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871321 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:25:42 +0000 Beth Ann 871321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, indeed you have made the red britches work for you! These outfits are terrific --- love the red/camel, #14, but also with the stripes. Yes, indeed, I wear my red britches with stripes, and I even added a star scarf. Go big or go home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871245 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 12:32:51 +0000 unfrumped 871245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fantastic. Combining that red with camel is brilliant,and I love the tonal top &amp;jacket. The stripes were not.my favorite before, but with the khaki it is great. The print totally works. You look wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871243 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 12:32:27 +0000 Anonymous 871243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all excellent Vicky, there is not a bad one to my eye. My favorite are:<br /> #3-6, I have never thought of pairing red with camel / leo,<br /> #7-8 is so unexpected too and<br /> # 17 takes the cake, that is so Vicky to me. I also love the striped tops with the pants. You have proven that a red pair of pants can be really versatile. I do have a pair of wideleg red pants, I must save this one for future reference.</p> <p>I picked up a pair of the Antro pumps yesterday, but I think I got them too big, the top portion that crosses over puffs out a bit. Agrh. I gotta see if they have the sIze down. Does yours do that?</p> <p>You look beautiful on each and every one of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871220 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 12:01:50 +0000 krishnidoux 871220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How interesting! Thank you for posting this. You did such a great job of revamping this look to your liking, and look what resulted! FANTASTIC! </p> <p>My favourites are: 9-11, 14, 15 (what chic!), and 17! Wawawee (=big wow) on that one! What a happy way to transform the look completely and make these red pants yours. </p> <p>I too have red pants and have found myself stumped as to how to wear them other than with my striped top. This is very inspiring to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871219 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 12:00:25 +0000 Ingunn 871219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I'm in awe. You look fabulous in every. single. one. I adore camel-red, denim +red, leopard+red, but my heart goes to #12-14, as stripes+red+trench is so VERY chic, and you look radiant in it. I love the pink and red, too, and second the suggestion of adding some orange. How fun and inspirational to see this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871211 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 11:49:40 +0000 Inge 871211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is absolutely brilliant, Vicki!! And good for you for getting back on the red pants horse again immediately;-) This is what Angie means when she tells us not to let our clothes boss us around, *we* are in charge. And my word, you certainly are in charge here!</p> <p>I love each and every one of these outfits, including the pink with the red: so fab (I like this scarf with it too, the lighter colours accentuate the pink of your top, no need for extra black IMO since you already have black in your blazer and pumps).</p> <p>All the colour combinations and item combinations work so well, it's a treat to look through all these photos.</p> <p>You know I'm a huge stripes fan, so it won't surprise you to hear that 12-16 are favourites:-) But honestly, they are all favourites, because you are rocking these red pants, wow!!</p> <p>Also: yay: you got that VC top, adore it on you!</p> <p>Enjoy your red trousers, Vicki, and wear them with confidence, because you look stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871169 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 10:24:59 +0000 harmonica 871169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How much fun! My favorite is #3 and #7-8. I think it is because these are the simplest, yet very elegant, of the outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871155 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:39:13 +0000 Deborah 871155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All are totally fab! My favourite tho is #17. Where are the pants from Vicki? They fall beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871113 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 06:58:00 +0000 AJ 871113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you took the time to play in your closet and it has paid off!</p> <p>1) Luv the camel sweater with the denim button down and red pants. Look at those pointy toe red heels to elongate the leg line! </p> <p>3) The belt and booties add that fun detail to this outfit! The side and back views are FAB. Those pants fit you well. I don't know why, but I think the black jacket is too dark for this look. For some reason, I remember a cream moto, no?</p> <p>7 &amp; 8) Yes, the black jacket is great with this outfit!</p> <p>10) I like the fuschia better without the black topper. Maybe if the scarf had some black in it?</p> <p>14) I like this trench combo with the white/cream booties better. This is such a great transition into spring combo!</p> <p>15) I have a poison eye for jailbird stripes. (Not from any personal criminal experience, LOL!)</p> <p>17) Fun blouse! How about the black blazer/moto and red pointy toes with this?</p> <p>Woohoo! A great experiment and I thank you for including us in the fun!</p> <p>Where did you get those FAB red pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871089 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 06:13:41 +0000 Parsley 871089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, you are so amazing. There's not a bad apple in the bunch.<br /> I do love the striped top with the trench, but it is the most expected. The fuchsia top is the most UNexpected, and it is great fun!</p> <p>You've inspired me to try to draw from my closet to find new combinations.<br /> Great styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871082 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 06:03:59 +0000 jayne 871082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you Vicki! I also love the pink combination and agree with Una, try orange! The camel version is a classic and perfect for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871077 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 05:52:39 +0000 Bree 871077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every single outfit is great! I love the red slacks!!!! My favorite look is # 11&amp;17 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871067 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 05:35:07 +0000 catgirl 871067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at you! My fave is the t-neck sweater because that is a look I covet and cannot wear - you are so svelte and understated cozy glam. I must be the weird loner who has a hard time with stripes, because that just strikes me as too conventional for you, but it is still a great outfit. Huge yay on pink and red from me - so Indian (now just throw in some orange!)... </p> <p>You are such a fearless trooper and it is so much fun to see your experiments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871052 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 05:02:37 +0000 Marley 871052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at you! Right up on that horse again - and riding it in style! How creative is this???? Every single one of these work in my opinion - it just depends on your mood and the event that you are wearing them to (darn, I hate it when I end my sentences with prepositions.) </p> <p>I'm not sure I can choose a favorite - because I like so many of these. I think my favorites are: 8 (love the sweater), 11 - the pink is so fun - but maybe a different scarf that has pink and red in it and is a little longer? - and the whole series of 12 through 14 - love me some cream with red!</p> <p>Good job friend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871041 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 04:55:59 +0000 Mia 871041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#14 is "out of the park"! 17 is a close second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-on-the-red-trousered-horse-again-red-pic-heavy#post-871036 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 04:54:14 +0000 TraceyLiz65 871036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, this great styling to show the versatility to anyone still on the fence! </p>
