You did give them quite a good chance to prove themselves! Ha ha! The Born sneakers look great, as does the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cargos-going-back---plus-a-few-other-items#post-1313560 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 17:48:41 +0000 Suz 1313560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it seems like the fit is a bit off on them. <b>NEXT!&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cargos-going-back---plus-a-few-other-items#post-1313481 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 16:25:37 +0000 texstyle 1313481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon- thanks for your kind words.</p> <p>kellygirl - yes, I have a pair of gray jeans that are much lighter gray but so much easier to style. But Angie probably hit the nail on the head...</p> <p>Angie - of course you are right, the rise is too long for me. It's bunching up in the crotch area. That and the color combined are probably what made them feel just so off.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cargos-going-back---plus-a-few-other-items#post-1313469 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 16:18:58 +0000 Angie 1313469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's the rise on the cargos that's too long. I'm glad they are going back too. Next. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cargos-going-back---plus-a-few-other-items#post-1313466 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 16:16:52 +0000 kellygirl 1313466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the hardest time with greyish blue. My H&amp;M jeans are that color (which I thought would be supremely versatile) but it only seems to look good with black. It never matches any greys or blues in my closet. I think the color would be the deciding factor for me although those pants look good with your grey sweater. (I prefer the button down with the indigo.)&nbsp;They look like they&nbsp;fit well but I find that cargo flap a little distracting. You hardly notice it in the stock photo but I find my eye drawn to it on you. I think it's the angle of the picture and the fact that&nbsp;your hand is not obscuring it like the model's hand. LOVE the sneaks and the cognac booties. Gorgeous jacket too. It looks supremely comfy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cargos-going-back---plus-a-few-other-items#post-1313420 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 15:35:23 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1313420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find cargos can be a little tricky to fit and flatter but I actually think these look pretty good. However, if you're finding them tough to style then let them go.</p> <p>LOVE the jacket and sneakers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cargos-going-back---plus-a-few-other-items#post-1313417 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 15:32:24 +0000 Sara L. 1313417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you made an effort and the cargos just don't work.&nbsp; I'm sure something else will come along that will fit in your wardrobe better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cargos-going-back---plus-a-few-other-items#post-1313409 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 15:29:49 +0000 texstyle 1313409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the Lands End "wrought iron" cargos just don't work for me. After trying a few stylings I realized pretty quickly that the color and style was just not right. </p> <p>The pants looked much darker in the Lands End photo by the way. They are pretty true to the color I'm showing in my pics IRL.</p> <p>I could have tried the cargos with lots of other colors but it was the basic color of THEM that was the problem for me. It just didn't feel like "my" color or my style. And my closet is full of navy, whites, grays (warmer grays), burgundy, green, etc. I had too much trouble matching them to anything and feeling like it worked.</p> <p>I'm pretty sure I'm keeping both&nbsp;the Born sneaks and the jacket but I included them as a sort of K/R for lack of a better description for this post. I think they will get a lot of wear this fall and winter.</p> <p>Pic 1 - I tried the cargos with my cognac&nbsp;ankle boots&nbsp;and belt and felt way too "military" or masculine for my liking. Clunky boots plus cargo pants is not my style. I also didn't like the way the color of the cargos looks so weird blue/green/gray instead of just charcoal gray.</p> <p>Pic 2 - Tried them with my navy arrow print blouse and gray ballet flats for a more feminine attempt. Still didn't like at all.</p> <p>Pic 3- Tried them with the cognac Born sneaks just for comparison purposes against the same outfit with my BF jeans. The BF jeans combo won by a mile and half.</p> <p>Pic 4 - The North Face jacket in eggplant with the same sneaks in navy (I think I'm keeping both the cognac and navy sneaks as they are so comfortable and if I change out the laces I can get other looks). The jacket is VERY warm for Texas so it is perfect for my winter. It's not my only jacket but it is also very comfortable and I love the big pockets for hand warming. I was too hot by this point to show it zipped up.</p> <p>Edit- included lands end cargo photo for color comparison</p>
