I accept your challenge ;-)</p> <p><b>Elizabeth</b>, wow, you are highly suggestible and quick! I will probably end up with a black pair down the line for those outfits where the navy is &nbsp;eh. They had khaki green and an off white in my local EF store, as well as black. No navy or silver however, so I ordered from Nordstrom. I've been folding them if I wear high shaft footwear, but should probably decide if I need to hem (and mine are petites!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1712170 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 18:31:30 +0000 Robin 1712170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann: You're tempting me. It's EF. It's pants that are stretchy and forgiving. Maybe I'll give up jeans and where EF bottoms when I'm not wearing dresses. ;)<br />And, that tunic sounds so fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1712062 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 16:25:42 +0000 Elizabeth P 1712062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ann.&nbsp; I just paid a visit to the store here that sells EF, and tried them on :)&nbsp; And they seem pretty good!&nbsp; They don't have them in black at the moment, so I may get them to bring them in for me.&nbsp; I do have another spot I can try as well.&nbsp; Thanks for the rave review, slim ankle pants have become a bit of a HEWI for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1711891 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 12:52:25 +0000 Anonymous 1711891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd do this &nbsp;I bought a pair of those EF pants in navy (although it's not a very dark navy ) last fall and wore them a grand total of once. Ugh. I think the brightness of the navy was the main problem and I had/have nothing to pair with them that works. &nbsp;I love that BCBG jacket on you...</p> <p>I really doubt they fit now anyways, but when I get my physical act together, &nbsp;I would like to figure out a way to wear these pants. I'll be looking to you for inspiration ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1711772 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 05:40:05 +0000 Lyn D. 1711772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both but especially the grey outfit- all the pieces tie-in with each other beautifully!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1711750 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 04:47:24 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1711750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...or a lot-o-holo &gt;^^&lt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1711747 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 04:40:57 +0000 Aida 1711747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I love the idea of a silver-out with the long silver vest! Plus a little holo, of course ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1711742 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 04:24:04 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1711742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Staysfit</b>, wow, I am very flattered coming from you! Thanks for the input.<br /><b>Tanya</b>, they're HOLO and who doesn't love a good holographic leather? Probably many folks, but <b>Aida</b> and I are the sisterhood of (non-traveling) holo, and two is plenty!<br /><b>Xtabay</b>, TRY THEM...there, now you have been indoctrinated ;-)<br /><b>Elizabeth</b>, I didn't find them to be tight on the calves, at least without socks or stockings, and I have mondo ones. The thing I like about these is that there's no bagging in the butt, or crotch or knees, so they always have clean lines.<br /><b>Colette,</b> high 5 sandal sister! Bought mine on a trip to Boston, so happy memories. Both colors are gorgeous...maybe I should find some grey ones too ;-)<br /><b>Amy</b>, I'm picturing knee socks with your suits...and now can't unsee it!!!<br /><b>Aida</b>, I know, right?! Dove grey pants AND they are super cool 'grey out' with the long vest from Topshop I got last year with you, Sharan and Angie.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1711591 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 22:47:19 +0000 Aida 1711591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You found some silvery dove gray pants! They do NOT look knit, very crisp looking eh? Can't get over the first outfit though. Every piece is so very Ann and combined they make a wow outfit. The back detail on the jacket is especially fun ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1711518 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 20:30:27 +0000 Amy 1711518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They knock my socks off...or would, if I were wearing socks, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1711381 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 16:17:56 +0000 Angie 1711381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Fabness To The Max.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1711318 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 13:38:46 +0000 JAileen 1711318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

I really do. You have a unique perspective and an excellent sense of what works. I can imagine your personality given your style choices, (and what you write), and it's all good. The new pants look terrific. That tweed jacket is perfection. These colors are excellent on you. The shoes inject some extra funky fabness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1711229 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 10:59:31 +0000 skylurker 1711229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love navy too, it looks very good with silver/grey here.

What a chic look, with the dramatic asymmetrical tunic over ankle pants, and the wedges are perfect with it. The second outfit is just as stunning and chic, if less dramatic (I would dub it "artful classic"). I can't believe how well those pants work for you. I would not have guessed they were the Eileen Fisher crepe knit; they look so tailored and almost crisp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-formula#post-1711175 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 03:37:15 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1711175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rarely end up wearing anything that I later find to have been the subject of one of Angie's blog posts. As is often the case when dressing, I chose the pants to build an outfit around. I, like others of you out there, have been struggling with weight changes and distribution challenges which make anything but dresses difficult to wear. Once I got past my internal poison brain for stretch, elastic waist pants via the EF harems, I decided to try these EF stretch crepe slim ankle pants. They caught my attention when I saw all the amazing reviews online, so I ordered a couple of sizes and colors to try, them being EFs and all (strange sizing). Well, I'm in love...now I can wear something dressier than my stretchy, high waisted jeans and look more polished. But I digress...but try the pants, seriously!<br />I've recently started wearing lots of navy, so pairing the pants with a woven multilayered, asymmetric hem tunic in the same color seemed easy enough. I wanted some heel, and settled on my workhorse holographic wedges that many are all too familiar with. The topper was required, as we're having some rather chilly, rainy weather here in Seattle at the mo. I decided that the sporty luxe vibe of the sandals would work with the sportiness of the cropped BCBG boucle jacket. Silver tote (not pictured), nerdy watch and out the door with my big bag of NAS returns. More on keepers later. </p> <p>Bonus shot of the second pair of EF pants in a HEWI silver in #2. I'm looking forward to seeing where I can go with these. </p>
