I love that story about the lady and "you look cute!" I hope the rayon pnes will be great for you and the drier weather. It is really funny, for two years I kept thinking I wanted black ponte pants... but I could never find any where the fit suited. Now, I htink really thin the woven fabication of these is going to work a million times better for me. I appreciate you sending them so much!</p> <p>Thanks Jeanie... love the "getting it" ... love that YLF is here for that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leith-track-pants-thank-you-to-mtgirl#post-1035382 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 03:08:55 +0000 Jeanie 1035382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving #4 &amp; #5. &nbsp;You look great! &nbsp;Looking unique takes courage. &nbsp;Some people just don't get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leith-track-pants-thank-you-to-mtgirl#post-1035354 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 01:34:38 +0000 Anonymous 1035354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woot - that was fast!!! </p> <p>My absolute favorites are 4 &amp; 5. I love polka dots so that might be why but I suspect it is the low vamp of the shoes in that one. I love the shirt in 5 so I am biased.</p> <p>In 1, I personally would try a lower contrast shirt. It is fine the way it is, that may just be me. I don't care for the blouse in 6. I think because it is cut straight across and is a bit longer. I love 9 too. You have awesome sandals and shoes to try with these!</p> <p>I just read what the teacher said. About #9? No way! I see no Hammer time. </p> <p>People ALWAYS look me up and down because I wear booties with my skirts. In the past I would stop wearing those things because I felt uncomfortable. With the encouragement of YLF I now hold my head high with a little smirk on my face. Hopefully some day it will be a smile, but baby steps here. </p> <p>A little old lady looked me up and down the other day then said "you look so cute." You never know!</p> <p>I am so glad these worked out for you...made my day seeing your post! I ordered some rayon ones today so hopefully those won't be so staticky </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leith-track-pants-thank-you-to-mtgirl#post-1035247 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 23:46:10 +0000 Sarah A 1035247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, thank you, thank you! I KNEW I wasnt that far off the mark. </p> <p>As I think more about what she said and how she said I truly think it was meant at face value and was a compliment, like you really have guts to wear something no one else would wear here and that isnt conventionally flattering. As I think back, I know I've mentioned in conversation that I read some fashion blogs, and she has asked at least twice what inspired a particular look. I know I am more prone to being oversensitive when tired and, boy, am I tired this week....</p> <p>Kellygirl -- thans for the vote on the strappy sandals, I think this will become my go to shoe with the pant for 70's and 80's F fall/spring weather.</p> <p>Suz -- Now #4 shirt is officially the best buy of the year. I am glad you think the shoe can pass. I dont know that I like it paired overmuch but comfortable shoes are a necessity.</p> <p>Glory -- Thanks, I cant believe me and fashionable are in the same sentence. I have felt very awkward with fashion for a long time in the past so I really appreciate it </p> <p>Karie -- Yeah! Now I can be a YLF twin (well, more than twin, a multiple of some number... I know there are more out there!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leith-track-pants-thank-you-to-mtgirl#post-1035194 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 22:41:24 +0000 Karie 1035194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My least favorites are #6 and #7, and I like all the others. You did a fab job styling these! I wore my Leith pants today too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leith-track-pants-thank-you-to-mtgirl#post-1035093 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 20:27:45 +0000 Glory 1035093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>agh - what people feel comfortable saying....<br />I think they look great and a shout out to Mountain Girl for sending them!<br />I do not think you are walking a line between frump and fab. You probably look unique because you are very fashionable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leith-track-pants-thank-you-to-mtgirl#post-1035092 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 20:26:50 +0000 Suz 1035092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>People! Honestly!!</p> <p>You look fabulous in the pants, Sarah! My favourite looks are 4 (super special star!!), 5, and 9. You're right, that dotty shirt was a fab purchase and it looks wonderful with these. I think the shoes work in 5 because the gold picks up the warm tones in the top. Ideally, a pointier toe might be best, but these are definitely okay.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leith-track-pants-thank-you-to-mtgirl#post-1035067 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 19:54:11 +0000 kellygirl 1035067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! Those are clearly not Hammer pants. (I believe it was the 90's as I was working in the town where he was building his mega-mansion.) My faves are 3,4,5, and 9. I love the pointy toe flats with them and the strappy sandals. Very cool and modern. Glad the pants are getting a second life via you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leith-track-pants-thank-you-to-mtgirl#post-1034968 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:23:58 +0000 Sarah A 1034968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I am wearing #9 and was told by a teacher at DD's preschool that I am a brave woman for bringing the hammer pants back from the 80's (wasnt that the 90's?). I feel good about my outfit, but do I look ridiculous? </p> <p>(I like to look unique, and I seem to like to walk the fine line between fab and frumptastic so I do fall off to the wrong direction occasionally...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leith-track-pants-thank-you-to-mtgirl#post-1034948 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 17:57:37 +0000 Sarah A 1034948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Unfrumped! I was inspired to see your posts of the Leith's paired with your slipper flats to embrace the flat footwear with them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leith-track-pants-thank-you-to-mtgirl#post-1034784 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 14:40:19 +0000 unfrumped 1034784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yeah! YLF. I like all ofthe silky tops better than 6 &amp; 7 but you've done a super job of styling. Wouldn't&nbsp; have thought of&nbsp; &nbsp;jacket #3--so fun. This is a keeper for you for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leith-track-pants-thank-you-to-mtgirl#post-1034775 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 14:32:41 +0000 Sarah A 1034775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mtgirl was so sweet and sent me these Leith track pants that werent working for her climate. I recieved them yesterday as was so excited to try a few stylings... </p> <p>#1 i have on a citron drapey T but it got totally washed out be the afternon sun.<br />#2 shoes dont work!<br />#3 I am actually grabing the rail b/c I am falling down... these shoes wont do either<br />#4 I love this doty silk shirt. Maybe my best buy of the year so far. <br />#5 Not sure... opinions? These are my most comfortable shoes... I am not sure they are the best with the Leith's but are they passable?<br />#6 uh.. strike out!<br />#7 I like this... <br />#8 do I need buttons with lower contrast on the jacket? <br />#9 What I'm going to be wearing today (I will dry my hair and do my toenails before going anywhere....)</p> <p>Thanks again Mtgirl I am so excited to play with bottom that arent jeans! </p> <p>Feedback on what works, what doesnt, what else to try is much appreciated (I cant really do heels for foot health and chasing toddlers reasons so while I know pumps look great with the track pants in Angie's stylings they just arent possible for me....) </p>
