I kinda like the print - I'm not a statement pant person but I think you could make this work with the right top. Now, whether it's versatile and/or awesome enough for your wardrobe, only you can say.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-741180 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 17:47:54 +0000 Janet 741180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL at the thread title!</p> <p>I love the print. The cut is not as great -- the rise and length are really not doing you justice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-741175 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 17:38:23 +0000 shiny 741175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry, I cannot get past the unfortunate placement pattern in the rear. It looks like you wet yourself.... the paisley is both dark AND shiny... right there... where you really don't want it. </p> <p>I hope that doesn't come across being too harsh! I say Return and you can do better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-741124 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 16:35:16 +0000 Diana 741124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so I have a poisoned eye for this style of pants (ankle length, non-skinny leg, stiff fabric) and think they look frumpy on everyone, so I vote return. That said, I really like the pattern and color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-740666 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 23:46:27 +0000 nancylee 740666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. Maybe you should check out my own foray into ankle-length printed pants last week:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-now-for-something-completely-different---kr-patterned-trouse" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ned-trouse</a></p> <p>Not a lot of love for them here on YLF...at least not from Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-740656 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 23:35:31 +0000 Nicole D 740656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This fabric would look amazing in a jacket or vest! Agree with others about fit. I have put so mnay pairs of patterned jeans back on the rack, but I find Hudson does a nice pair, here is an example. NOt as ornate a print but they fit great.</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopbop.com/nico-mid-rise-skinny-jeans/vp/v=1/845524441949649.htm?folderID=2534374302024380&#038;fm=browse-brand-shopbysize-viewall&#038;colorId=44810" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/nico-mi.....orId=44810</a></p> <p>Or these ones from 7 for all mankind:<br /> <a href="http://www.eluxe.ca/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/420x500/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/7/-/7-for-all-mankind-P_FR_0831-3496.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.eluxe.ca/media/cata.....1-3496.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-740655 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 23:34:46 +0000 Ingunn 740655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the print and the colors - fab! The length IS tricky, but I think hemming and some tapering will do a lot for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-740652 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 23:31:33 +0000 Aida 740652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you see the D Squared fall (or maybe it was pre fall) show? There were some great heavier materialed cropped pants whose length would look good with these. More of a mid calf crop, and certainly more tapered. I think Angie also posted some of them on the blog. I'm on my phone or I'd link for you, but I'm sure you could find it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-740641 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 23:17:38 +0000 Susie 740641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My disclaimer is that I DON'T have a soft spot for ankle length pants!<br /> I like the print, I just don't care for the length. To me they simply look too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-740573 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 22:24:10 +0000 Deborah 740573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will suggest its all in the styling! I actually love them:). BJ are you tall? If so, with the correct proportions, I think these would work. Disclaimer: I have a soft spot for ankle length pants:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-740564 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 22:18:31 +0000 Girl X 740564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the print is nice, but even if the length was different I'm not sure the pants would work - the fabric seems really stiff, which can be tricky to fit. If this print was on a pair of slim fitting jeans - it would be great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-740547 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 22:08:38 +0000 cciele 740547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL at your DH! When I saw them I thought Groovy Space-Age Oriental ;)</p> <p>I agree with others -- I think it's the length and leg shape that is the main issue here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-740544 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 22:07:40 +0000 bj1111 740544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes to mo and una, i think they need to be shorter to show the ankle bone and narrower taper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-740542 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 22:06:35 +0000 catgirl 740542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are too wide at the hem for this length - perhaps tapered more? This is such a hard style to pin down, and I really want to know how it's done, so will be following along! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-740537 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 22:04:17 +0000 Mo 740537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it is more the rise and length of them. I don't mind the print, except maybe the pattern placement on the butt, but they seem neither cropped nor PPL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-orleans-cat-house-print#post-740533 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 22:01:15 +0000 bj1111 740533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so my foray into printed pants met will less than stellar response from hubster who christened the pattern thusly.</p> <p>oh wise women with wide and varied experience...is he right? </p>
