I like them with a little skin showing between the pants and the shoes - either with flats where my foot shows, or I cuff them a bit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I feel like the cut of these just isn't as dramatic as the pattern. Maybe tailored shorter or tapered? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind/page/2#post-1030567 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 02:55:58 +0000 Jaime 1030567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In principle I like this idea for you, but after reading this thread I can't vote yay for this particular pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind/page/2#post-1030530 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 02:02:58 +0000 Marley 1030530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really don't think these are working.&nbsp; That crease - or is it a seam? - down the front of each leg just sends these right into frumpville for me.&nbsp; Also - the fabric looks stiff.&nbsp; I'm not a fan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind/page/2#post-1030528 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 02:00:20 +0000 Beth Ann 1030528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read this post earlier today, and couldn't decide how I felt about these pants.&nbsp; My gut was......patterned pants, yes, these particular pants?&nbsp; Maybe.&nbsp; Hardly a insightful, well-reasoned comment.&nbsp; </p> <p>Fortunately, Adelfa put words to my thinking, so I second her.</p> <p>You know, when I love something, but think I might be crazy, I sing this wonderful Sondheim song:</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO1vSFIS1wQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO1vSFIS1wQ</a></p> <p>Because my whole life is one big song cue.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030521 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 01:34:04 +0000 Adelfa 1030521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was interested by these pants because I'm actually specifically looking for items in blue/black/white/possibly gray that I can wear with black (and denim and cobalt). I think Rachy's observation that they don't quite work with black might be right--the overall impression is too light. I vote for looking for a colored print that tones well with black, as black is such a wardrobe backbone for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030519 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 01:22:00 +0000 Echo 1030519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I really liked them until the pattern placement was brought to my attention. And I concur with the statement, "What has been seen cannot be unseen." : ( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030459 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 23:56:49 +0000 Deborah 1030459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your thoughts.&nbsp; I appreciate both the yays and the nays and the suggestions.&nbsp; I am on the fence, which I guess is why I asked, so I will think on it, but I think they might go back.&nbsp; There is a pair of pants am eyeing off that Cocolion featured in a WIW recently and I think I might be wise to maintain my focus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030114 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 14:59:51 +0000 RoseandJoan 1030114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a little bit hesitant Deborah, whilst I think the trousers look fab I don't particularly like how they look with your signature colour black. To my eye they would pair better with white and grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030106 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 14:50:23 +0000 Peri 1030106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no love at all for these kinds of pant...really I have zero love for printed pants of any kind. I see clown pants and pajamas when I look at this kind of pant.. So I just can't love them...sorry! </p> <p>Lots of people wear them and love them, so this is not an objective judgement of bad...just saying I can't vote keep because I really dislike them in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030103 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 14:49:04 +0000 Isabel 1030103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really, really like them. &nbsp;Maybe I have lost my mind ! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030099 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 14:42:34 +0000 donnat 1030099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved them. I didnt notice the pattern placement. Is it noticeable irl? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030051 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 12:54:58 +0000 Susie 1030051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are a keep. I would not have noticed an issue with the pattern placement but I do see it now :)<br /> However, IRL I don't think it's a problem and I think the colors work well for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030047 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 12:47:36 +0000 Janet 1030047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see pattern placement issues, and I think these could be a nice piece to add counterpoint to your black capsule. Could be great with white too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030044 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 12:29:52 +0000 Suz 1030044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, Lyn has a sharp eye. Until she mentioned it, I had not noticed.&nbsp;</p> <p>Still, I like them, and think they could be workhorses for you. At that price, keep and experiment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030037 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 12:15:37 +0000 Anonymous 1030037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hadn't noticed the pattern placement and think you've made print pants look elegant. Maybe a longer top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030029 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 12:01:47 +0000 sarah 1030029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big thumbs up from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030026 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 11:25:54 +0000 Debra 1030026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them maybe a longer or asymmetrical top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030009 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 09:38:25 +0000 cobaltblue 1030009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to be a big yay vote, but "what is seen cannot be unseen," as they say, and now all I see is the companion to the print skirt Diana tried on a while back! So I vote yes with longer top or yes to exchange for another pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030008 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 09:33:32 +0000 froggiebecky 1030008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote "yes with a longer top"--unless they have another pair in the same size, &nbsp;which you can analyse for more fortunate pattern placement. &nbsp;But I've just purchased a pair for myself, so you can chalk my vote up to bias.&nbsp;</p> <p>I tried on about 7 pair over the weekend at Myer, for various definitions of "harem". I I liked the fit of these:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/au-women-r-5/au-women-pants-c-96/stella-sakura-pant">http://www.myer.com.au/shop/my.....akura-pant</a>, and they may be more you than me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1030006 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 09:12:32 +0000 Deborah 1030006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, these are from Katies. $10.00 on sale so I might just have to find a longer top:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1029999 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 08:34:16 +0000 Lyn D. 1029999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, they are amazing!<br />I do like your idea re. patterned ones though.<br />Just went looking at Katies on-line, 'cause I found some &nbsp;about a month ago, but none there now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1029987 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 08:19:04 +0000 Deborah 1029987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn I laughed so loud Master 10 wanted to know what was so funny! I had t noticed:). You are spot on re harem pants, that is exactly what I am looking for.

I know your tolerance for all black is way higher than mine but I think&nbsp;particularly&nbsp;for summer it is nice to have some options. These break that all black look while retaining your clothing "vibe" imo. SO that is a very long-winded way of saying yes keep :)</p> <p>Wearing these with white footwear &amp; a white top &amp; jacket&nbsp;would look very you &amp;&nbsp;modern too imo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1029974 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 07:24:24 +0000 Lantana 1029974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, you haven't lost your mind but I suspect you are exercising the hemisphere, left or right, that you normally don't favour.<br /> I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1029973 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 07:13:06 +0000 Ingunn 1029973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them very much, too! They could turn out to act for you&nbsp;like my silk tunic does for me&nbsp;- I was very hesitant towards it&nbsp;at first, as you might remember, but it DOES work with so much in my wardrobe, and it is fun to have a wild card like that to play with. Color-wise these seem to fit well into your wardrobe. I can easily imagine&nbsp;them with your white booties.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1029972 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 07:08:04 +0000 Hil 1029972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like them Deborah - they are a nice little punch of colour in your wardrobe. I vote to keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1029970 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 07:02:43 +0000 rachylou 1029970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pants. I'm not sure that I like them with black shoes/black top. That seems old fashioned to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-pants-have-i-lost-my-mind#post-1029969 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 06:47:01 +0000 Jeanie 1029969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;I like these and I don't care for a lot of prints. &nbsp;Some of the printed pants look like pj's but these look sophisticated to me, especially with the black. </p>
