Well I feel a lot better now. I wore the pants to work (actually pretty much the whole outfit. Ha!) and got compliments on my pants (I normally wear jeans to work; it is a casual office&nbsp;:-) ). I see Angie has addressed the ankle-pants fit issue in her blog (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/02/24/two-flattering-lengths-for-ankle-pants/">http://youlookfab.com/2014/02/.....kle-pants/</a>), for which I am grateful! I've seen ankle pants at all kinds of lengths IRL and IMHO some look good, some meh, some bad to my eye. Mine fall pretty much&nbsp;exactly where the model's does (the model wearing the loafers), i.e. right at the ankle bone, so I have decided I'm happy with the fit. I realize that Angie likes this look with a higher vamped shoe such as a flat loafer, but there is nothing about flats that makes this 5' tall gal look any taller, so I opted to stick with heels (lower nude heels with a peep-toe, since our weather has been in the 70s!). Just wanted to say thanks for all of your input and I highly recommend these pants. Soooo comfy (and cheap, too). I want to buy a pair of dark blue ones but I see they are already sold out online in my size (*sigh*). I like these with both heels and loafers, despite the fact that I am not really big on flats. So yay!</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175879 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 04:11:55 +0000 shoppingisfun 1175879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@adorkable I do not generally wear flats. Sometimes. But it is really hard for me to find flats that are comfy! I do have one pair of (non-sporty) flats but they have an ankle strap and thus do not look good with these! Oh yeah and I do have a pair of flat loafers I almost forgot about. Maybe I will try those. </p> <p>I did try to roll up the pants and to me that made my leg line look way shorter. These pants hit right at my ankle bone as-is. If I roll them up they look like capris. I will post a pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175778 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 02:49:57 +0000 adorkable 1175778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you wear flats? I think I'd like to see either shorter or longer with heels myself but they look exactly right for flats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175777 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 02:48:36 +0000 annagybe 1175777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like that neither here nor there pant length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175770 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 02:42:47 +0000 shoppingisfun 1175770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm seeing a lot of variation in preference on the length of these pants! Some like them as is, some say shorter, some say longer. So far I kinda like them as is. There is some length to let down if I decide to make them longer. If I make them longer though they won't be ankle pants! I am afraid if I shorten I might indeed need to taper them (at my tailor this costs $15) but I'd rather not pay to alter such cheap pants! If I do a plain old hem I can do it myself. But so far I kinda like them as they are. I will roll them up a bit and see what happens.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175654 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 00:50:43 +0000 Suz 1175654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look on you! The pants look like keepers. I do think the length could be adjusted. Either a tough longer (if there is seam allowance to let them down) to make them full length -- or a bit shorter to make them real ankle pants -- a few inches above the ankle. In that case you might have to taper them a bit, too -- but it's tough to say.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175639 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 00:36:13 +0000 Kristin L 1175639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought those pants in black and red! My only concern is they may be&nbsp;touch long to be ankle pants. Could you try rolling them up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175559 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 23:48:41 +0000 karymk 1175559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pixies look great on you.

I am new to ankle pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175415 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 21:32:15 +0000 Gigi 1175415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! I will admit that I like my pants a bit on the shorter side with heels, so I'm not a good one to ask about PPL. I am partial to seeing the shoes!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175414 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 21:31:31 +0000 shoppingisfun 1175414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Joyce thanks! How did you know the shoes were so comfy? Lol they're Lifestride. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175408 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 21:24:31 +0000 Joyce B 1175408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks like a great pair of pants and you styled them very nicely. I also love your shoes, they seem to be very comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175362 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 20:44:45 +0000 shoppingisfun 1175362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Marmee well they are ankle pants so I was thinking maybe they are supposed to be a bit shorter? Guess I will see what others have to say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175352 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 20:34:50 +0000 Marmee 1175352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! &nbsp;I like the length of the top in the back, and love the jacket. &nbsp;Would you consider scrunching the sleeves instead of rolling them? &nbsp;Also, I'm not very good at PPL, but it would be interesting to get some feedback on the pants length. &nbsp;I'm wondering if they should be a tiny bit longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-old-navy-pixy-pants#post-1175346 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 20:29:27 +0000 shoppingisfun 1175346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Old Navy Pixie ankle-pants, old Express top, Old Navy ponte blazer. Normally if I were wearing this I would put a chain extender on my necklace and wear it longer.Thoughts? </p>
