Serious pant envy here. Sigh...<br /><br />I think the shoes are perfect for you. Sturdy, a bit pretty, but not too girly. Retro-feeling in a good way.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894977 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 12:31:55 +0000 Anonymous 894977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes those shoes are great and I can see them with wide legged trousers. I love both of your looks. The drape and scrunch of the trousers in 1 is spot on and in 2 I love the hem line of the tunic and the slouchy pockets are a nice touch. Your shoes bookend nicely with your hair too. ylf! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894975 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 12:27:45 +0000 modgrl 894975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The pants are a nice shape for you. Do they come in any other colors? I feel like more saturated colors are good for your skin tone. <br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894971 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 12:15:31 +0000 Scarlet 894971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a bit of a poison eye for Mary Janes, but even so these look nicer than I expected. I think with wide leg swingy trousers they could be just the thing for you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894967 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 12:10:02 +0000 Lantana 894967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the amazing colour combo in Pic #1. You look great in "slouchy". https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894919 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 08:50:46 +0000 Deborah 894919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the shoe and think it will be quite versatile. &nbsp;This will work in with your style in my opinion. &nbsp;Love the pants. &nbsp;How do you think you will wear them?<br /><br />Have I missed your interview outfit? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894866 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 04:25:40 +0000 catgirl 894866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks so much, ladies!&nbsp; DH approved of the shoes too - he thought they were pretty, professional and practical - a form of PPP!&nbsp; <br /><br />Karie, my style is not going more girly but I need these for a job interview.&nbsp; I'm surprising myself by liking them, though.&nbsp; Perhaps it's just the novelty of an item that is so unusual to me? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894844 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 03:32:26 +0000 Jaime 894844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Heh - the only thing I didn't like was the pants length with the shoes, then I bothered to read what you wrote and realized you were intentionally hiking them up in that picture. Love the dress with the shoes, love the pants, love the outfit you and Rae share! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894838 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 03:21:06 +0000 rae 894838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I generally find mary janes very little-girl-ish, but I think the refined shape, thin strap, and patent make them work here. Especially if they are under wide leg pants, the strap should add some extra comfort. Love the pants on you, of course. The 4 is what we all tried this fall! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894799 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 02:25:15 +0000 Sveta 894799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your slouchy look in #1 is swoon-worthy - but you know I would love it, right?<br />I think Danskos are excellent for your purpose. Patent adds to the interest and dressiness and they look professional without being frumpy or cute. And they are comfortable too - winner all around!<br />Good luck on Tuesday!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894710 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 23:59:04 +0000 Ariadne 894710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love them both a ton. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894708 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 23:54:27 +0000 Karie 894708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have always loved Mary Janes, and ever since Carrie Bradshaw swooned over the Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes in an episode of "Sex and the City," I have loved them even more! &nbsp;They look great with dresses, skirts, and wide legged pants (not narrow legged pants, but I see you've addressed that already). &nbsp;<br />Mary Janes are a fairly girly shoe, Una, are you adding more girly items to your wardrobe? I have been adding more tomboy!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894672 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 23:07:34 +0000 Jjsloane 894672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the slouchy pants. The shoes are bordering on dance shoes, but are probably quite comfy and if worn with pants I'm good with that.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894662 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 22:56:43 +0000 Nicole D 894662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very nice outfit - those pants are hot. &nbsp;See, the shoes are cool - chunky enough to be funky and still classic enough for a&nbsp;conservative&nbsp;setting. &nbsp;Yay. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894649 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 22:28:15 +0000 Anonymous 894649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the pants, and love the shoes. I think they look great with the dress, and they will work well with your trousers. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894645 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 22:18:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 894645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those pants are great on you, and I like them with the citron top. The shoes are terrific, too--they look fab with the dress, and they'll go just as well with wider-leg trousers as you describe. Keepers!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894642 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 22:14:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 894642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooohhhh....I think the shoes look great Una. And I really like the slouchy pants too. Both keepers IMO. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894641 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 22:12:54 +0000 ClaraT 894641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I *love* the new shoes. Mary Janes can be cute but can skew frumpy. Not these MJs!&nbsp;They look great: polished and&nbsp;professional. I have just added them to my Zappos 'favorites' to keep in mind when/if my beloved black (Clarks) work shoes start to get too worn. Hope they feel as great as they look. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894625 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 22:02:52 +0000 ElleH 894625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it all. Really great outfits, I like the slouchy half tuck with the slouchy pants &amp; that dress is cool too,&nbsp;&amp; the shoes look like they work with both outfits &amp; will work for many outfits. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894621 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 21:54:32 +0000 kellygirl 894621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gosh, they look much better on! I really like them! Nice slouchy pants too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894619 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 21:39:01 +0000 Ingunn 894619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great shoes! I think you will find a lot of possibilities with them. They are both girly and just a little rugged.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894612 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 21:22:01 +0000 catgirl 894612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Missey, agreed - I just put them on with these for show.&nbsp; I'll be wearing them under wider-leg trousers so only the heel and tip of the toe should be visible. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894608 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 21:19:44 +0000 Missey 894608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I actually quite like the Danskos with the tunic dress, not too girly, a bit sturdy in&nbsp; the heel.&nbsp; I am personally not a fan of mary jane style shoes with trousers, it's the strap at the hem that throws it off for me.&nbsp; I think they are a good looking solid shoe and would be cute with colored tights too!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-joie-pants-and-patent-shoes#post-894604 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 21:10:45 +0000 catgirl 894604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Please excuse my bedhead!&nbsp; Here's the same pants Rae has, that we all loved in CA.&nbsp; Copying a Rae look too.&nbsp; I think with our eye shifting to slouchy, these work, and I loved them from the get-go!&nbsp; This is size 4.&nbsp; Size 6 worked too but was much more pajama-billowy. <br /><br />Also a close-up of the shoes (pant leg hiked up)&nbsp;and worn with a tunic dress (this is just to show you how they look).&nbsp; They are growing on me - I like the patent.&nbsp; While they are girly, they are not beyond redemption and will serve a few purposes.&nbsp; <br /><br />Honest opinions welcome!&nbsp; And thank you all so much for your feedback.
