You have a great point about your palette for mixing and matching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1078101 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 19:48:32 +0000 Jjsloane 1078101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. I get free alterations from Nordstrom (since they were purchased there) so I might take them up a little bit. I will experiment with shoes first and if I can do the faux undertuck trick (thanks Emily and carambola). I wish I could find the right navy shoes/boots to know for sure. It's been a tough find for me this year even though they are more plentiful than last. </p> <p>Rita I never intended these to work together and when I first tried them on (both were in the items to try on and photo for K/R pile and I just happened to think why not try it?) I was only doing it for fun. I think this is a classic example of buying within a certain palette (mine is navy, camel, white and red) helps your wardrobe mix and match more easily. &nbsp;But now&nbsp;I actually like them together and might venture out this way but not for work. I might risk the pants with a navy blazer and white shirt for work.I think the crazy pants actually balance the brightness of the fair isle print.<br />kkards - I have been drooling over vineyard vines too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077939 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:22:48 +0000 kkards 1077939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i had to look at anything that said Fair Isle and Crazy Pants. love them both!&nbsp; i've been pineing for a fair isle sweater --i wish i had kept a few&nbsp;from high school. i was looking at that one from lands end or one of the ones from vineyard vine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077933 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:17:42 +0000 modgrl 1077933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater with the crazy pants!!

I love it on you. I can't believe how well you mixed these pieces. Colors are terrific on you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077813 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 15:43:33 +0000 carambola 1077813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love the pants and love them with the sweater. You look great!</p> <p>As for length, I do the same as Emily and just tuck the hem up if the fabric is thick enough to stay and that way the look can change with shoe choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077790 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 15:22:39 +0000 Emily 1077790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love crazy pants, and those ones look great on you! &nbsp;The length looks good to me as is, though you may prefer a touch shorter depending on the shoe. &nbsp;My solution w/my BR sloans&nbsp;is a bit of a cheat - if I want a more cropped look I&nbsp;tuck the hem up underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077783 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 15:12:58 +0000 Angie 1077783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Wow Fun.

I <b>love </b>the pattern mix and you have the fabulous legs for these pants. I would crop them just a touch shorter. Oh, for legs like yours!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077750 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:40:58 +0000 Beth Ann 1077750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you!&nbsp; Yes, it might be a little "advanced pattern mixing" for work, but I can think of a lot of places where this might be a perfect look for you.&nbsp; The pants under a blazer would be great for work!</p> <p>You have such a refined eye for making "preppy" absolutely fab and interesting.</p> <p>As for length:&nbsp; I think the just a touch shorter, to show the ankle bone, but I miht be too lazy to do it, if they were mine and they looked this great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077660 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:16:52 +0000 Parsley 1077660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, the pants look great on you. They're tapered enough that the length doesn't look awkward to me. Angie may like them shorter, but&nbsp;I think I'd keep them at that length.</p> <p>I'm not usually a big fan of pattern mixing, but that sweater is so much fun with the pants! The Fair Isle style and the colors are great for you. Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077653 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:10:44 +0000 amiable 1077653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha! &nbsp;Fun! &nbsp;You look fab - I have no idea if they go together, but I like them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077644 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:06:59 +0000 Karie 1077644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both pieces together. I also think the pants look fine at the length they are (cute pants, btw!). I have seen ankle pants at all different lengths, from right above the ankle bone to several inches above. My favorite ankle pants are tapered at the hem and hit about 2 inches above my ankle bone. For this pair, I would copy the model and hem them slightly above the ankle, maybe 1/2 inch or so.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077602 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:17:52 +0000 Aquamarine 1077602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no expert on ankle pants, but I do like both pieces together on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077591 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:31:43 +0000 gryffin 1077591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, amazing pattern mixing.&nbsp; This really works to my eye and the colors look wonderful on you!!&nbsp; Playful, unexpected, stylish and fun!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077584 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:15:51 +0000 Anonymous 1077584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these for you! The pants do taper really nicely. I think they would look more intentional a bit shorter but they look ok like this too to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077579 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:04:55 +0000 Anonymous 1077579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pants but I'm unsure of the length they should be. On the model they are definitely shorter as they show the actual ankle bone and before I clicked on the link that was my gut feeling that they should show that bone. Therefore maybe around an inch off? They are nicely tapered on you.<br />As for the sweater, I love the colours on you and the fit is great. I would say keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-fair-isle-and-crazy-pants#post-1077577 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 10:50:51 +0000 Jjsloane 1077577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I could not resist these Halogen printed ankle&nbsp;"crazy pants" when they went super sale at $24<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-quinn-skinny-ankle-pants/3591365?cm_em=&amp;cm_mmc=email_tran-_-102213-_-ship_confirm-_-proddescr4">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....proddescr4</a><br />I love the color and pattern and planned to wear with solids until I ordered this Fair Isle from LandsEnd Canvas. <br />It's probably too much together so I'm asking about K/R on the sweater and if I need to shorten the pants and if so how much? They are supposed to be ankle, but they are actually just over my ankle.<br />Not the best photo I know, but it's hectic at night.<br />Thanks for any advice. </p>
