				<description>&#060;p&#062;The nutmeg and russet look much alike.  They look like they would also be fab worn together.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Joy—these are nutmeg. I think the wrap skirt and tank I bought this summer are russet, though!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Are those pants the EF color &#034;russet&#034;?&#038;nbsp; If so, I just today bought the skirt, slim crepe pants and a sheer open knit assymetrical sort of poncho, all in this color.&#038;nbsp; I tried them on with a light grey top and also brought some pieces of EF ash into&#038;nbsp; the dressing room.&#038;nbsp; The russet looks so go with greys!&#038;nbsp; &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;To get to your question, I like the wide pants at the present length but they could also be shortened if you prefer.&#038;nbsp; I love your styling ad think you will have many outfits from the pants that will be great for California.&#038;nbsp; If I run across those wide pants, I will try them now that I've seen how great they look.&#038;nbsp; &#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Thanks everyone. The smaller size arrived today, and I'm definitely keeping the size down. The fit is still generous, but less clown-like, for sure.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;What a wonderful bunch of comments to wake up to! I quite liked the widelegs before, but I feel even more confident about them now.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;&#060;b&#062;Knitting Gene&#060;/b&#062;, they are definitely wider than they look in the catalog pic, but I'm not bothered by that at all.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;&#060;b&#062;shevia,&#038;nbsp;&#060;/b&#062;don't worry, my books are still all there, but I put a worktable in that room and it's not good for photos anymore. That shelf came out of my son's room, so he could make room for a chair and mini fridge. I think he's emulating his friends who are already in college!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;&#060;b&#062;Jessikams&#060;/b&#062;, widelegs are definitely more forgiving for those of us who are hourglass- and pear-shaped!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;&#060;b&#062;karen13,&#038;nbsp;&#060;/b&#062;the fabric will probably make them three-season pants, whether here or in CA. I think they're a bit too thick for high summer.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;&#060;b&#062;Fashintern,&#038;nbsp;&#060;/b&#062;I've done that too, with ordering multiple sizes, especially if I'm between sizes on the size chart. I was firmly in one size on the chart for these, though, and have worn the brand before. As for kiddo, his senior year is going ahead as planned, and he'll be in college once the move is permanent.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;&#060;b&#062;suntiger,&#038;nbsp;&#060;/b&#062;the deciding factor for trying another size was the realization that I'm a bit bloated this week, so they fit differently on a more normal day.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;&#060;b&#062;JenniNZ,&#038;nbsp;&#060;/b&#062;doesn't it feel great when a new item is immediately useful?&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Thanks, &#060;b&#062;Brooklyn, StyleFan, Suz, viva, lisap, DeAnna,&#060;/b&#062;&#038;nbsp;&#060;b&#062;Ginger&#060;/b&#062;, &#060;b&#062;smittie&#060;/b&#062;, and &#060;b&#062;Jane&#060;/b&#062;!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Jenn, those look SO GOOD on you! They're so perfect for your style, and the cut and flow are excellent. And a gorgeous color. I'm glad you ordered the next smaller size, though. Otherwise you'll always have that niggling &#034;but what if?&#034; thought in the back of your mind.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Great color, and you got the top length down pat! Can't hurt to try a size down for comparison, especially if they feel too loose. The length may be shorter too sizing down.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;You wear those well! I think this length is better on you than wide leg culottes would be. The color is great for you too. These will be great if you want to do “winter” in a warm climate. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Ordering from places where shipping and returns are included in the price, I’ve often gotten a couple sizes right off the bat when I wasn’t sure, because I stretching that decision over the time it takes for another pair to arrive is too much hassle for me. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;What is your son doing during this So Cal adventure, if you don’t mind my asking?

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I think they’re great. I am so glad that this wide leg culottes thing is popular now as I feel there’s a lot of leeway with fit and length, so it’s easier to buy than something more stringent.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I think they look fabulous on you! I prefer the ones with a bit of leg showing but they all work. You are so out of place in front of an &#060;i&#062;empty&#060;/i&#062; bookcase though - the perfect symbol of the flux state you are in.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Oooh, yes! You look great. I especially love the look with the striped top and chucks!  I’ve been eyeing those and wondered how wide the leg actually is. I would definitely have to hem but I’m used to that. Now you might not miss your rust linen pieces so much when you have to put them away for winter.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;So...looking at this last photo, I went ahead and ordered them a size down, just to compare. I still suspect this is right, but I'll always wonder if I don't try.
