I'd be no help on pants different shops here in Ireland and I have such trouble finding ones long enough that fit in the waist here without that weird shape some pants seem to have. Colour choices all sound lovely and will look forward to seeing what you find </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goalsresolutions-for-2016#post-1601017 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 04:39:47 +0000 Gigi 1601017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so nice to have goals so that we're not all over the place in buying for our wardrobes! I'm always happier with what I buy when I know what I want to accomplish.</p> <p>I haven't found any black cigarette pants, but I would suggest keeping an eye out at White House Black Market. They have a lot of different styles of black pants, and sooner or later, they will hopefully have one that fits the bill. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goalsresolutions-for-2016#post-1600992 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 02:52:12 +0000 rachylou 1600992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good goals (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goalsresolutions-for-2016#post-1600968 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 01:57:08 +0000 Helena 1600968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great resolutions and looking forward to following how they go for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goalsresolutions-for-2016#post-1600942 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 00:20:57 +0000 Alassë 1600942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a great, detailed list of resolutions.

I agree with you about the shoes as well. I have a pair of good looking leopard print flats that just aren't comfortable. I tell myself I will only wear them for walking to some venue and sitting, however, the reality is I never want to wear them, so want to avoid repeating that mistake.&nbsp;<br />Specific colors is a great idea in terms of narrowing the search and I as well am on the lookout for a good pair of basic cigarette pants or better dress pants. Haven't checked out J Crew for the chinos, but will. Casual chino type pants that I've tried that work for me are these - more of a skinny fit if looking for that:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/american-living-colored-skinny-pants-only-at-macys?ID=2372150&amp;PseudoCat=my-wl-xx-xx.nsil_guest_pdp&amp;upc_ID=34921243&amp;listItemId=697840061"><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/american-living-colored-skinny-pants-only-at-macys?ID=2372150&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....0&#038;amp</a>;...</a><br />Wish you luck with your 2016 resolutions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goalsresolutions-for-2016#post-1600876 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 21:32:15 +0000 LaPed 1600876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I finally have some time to organize my thoughts on 2016 style, and set down a couple of goals/resolutions. Here they are!&nbsp;</p> <p>1. Find pants that fit. My son is almost 2, and since he was born I've lost almost 40 lbs. I'm back in my ideal weight range, which is nice, but most of my bottoms are falling off me. I have a couple pairs of straight leg/boyfriend jeans that are good, and one pair of okay corduroys. What I really need are some slightly dressier options (too cold to enjoyably wear skirts right now). I'd love to find some perfect black cigarette pants a la Audrey -- this is a serious HEWI for me. <b>Any suggestions??</b> Also, chinos in cool colors - graphite, navy, cobalt, etc. I'll take this as my cue to ditch all the khaki/beige pants in my wardrobe that I haven't enjoyed wearing in recent years. I've also been eying the J Crew patio pants as an option for when things warm up a bit -- I like the idea of a slight crop and a slightly widish leg as an alternative to full-on culottes -- plus J Crew's colours and textures are yummy. Also, gear-wise, on the look-out for new hiking pants and running shorts for the spring -- I do at least have decent fleece-lined pants and tights for winter walks, snowshoeing, etc.</p> <p>2. Bring back the colour. 2015 felt like the Year of Neutrals -- in many fashion rags and for me personally. I bought a lot of navy, black, and grey/charcoal. For Christmas, I splurged on some true-red items: a merino beanie and a sweater. They bring such life to my wardrobe! I'll definitely be looking for more reds, plus jade and evergreen, and cobalt and turquoise. I'm ready for some fully saturated pops of colour! This will give me a focus when I go to replace basics, like camisoles and socks, or when I add accessories.&nbsp;</p> <p>3. Wear barefoot/minimalist footwear as often as possible. Last fall, I began working to convince myself that buying uncomfortable shoes is just not worth it. Regardless of the aesthetic boost they may give me, I always end up purging shoes that pinch or bind or chafe or blister. I walk, run, and hike a lot, and many miles have taught me that I'm happiest in a zero-drop shoe with a wide toebox and minimal cushioning/maximum flexibility. So for this year I won't be adding any pointy toes, thick soles, or heels of any height to my wardrobe. I do still need my snow boots, which are thick soled and have a fairly pronounced drop, because I really don't need any more frostbitten toes in my life. But for days when I'm not outside much I have a happy little wardrobe of all-flat shoes. Once the snow melts, I'll need to add a couple pairs for spring/summer -- probably ballet flats and mary janes -- to replace pairs I wore out last year. Maybe new sandals too. And trail runners of course ;). </p>
