Reminds me a bit of nantucket reds, only not quite as faded. Very coastal/beachy vibe.  RobinF on "Too much?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-1/page/2#post-2277120 Mon, 15 Aug 2022 16:51:10 +0000 RobinF 2277120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I will join the chorus - love these!

I hadn't thought about them as particularly "autumnal" but I'll think again!! Bijou on "Too much?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-1/page/2#post-2277065 Mon, 15 Aug 2022 01:49:01 +0000 Bijou 2277065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like this bright and yet earthy colour which makes it work as a neutral. These will be lovely to wear on warm Autumn days when you want to change colour palette but still dress in clothing that is cool and comfy.

But you have to feel comfortable in them!

I think they are keepers! Stag -- thanks! I am quite pleased at my success on that front. Winter tends to be major black pant season in my neck of the woods, but I'm keeping eyes open for a few specific colours to give me a bit of variety.  Gail on "Too much?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-1/page/2#post-2277043 Sun, 14 Aug 2022 21:25:56 +0000 Gail 2277043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love them they look great on you !

You are far too exuberant to disappear that way. This winter, why not cords and velvet pants in yummy colors from Boden, Lands End, or whereever? CarolS on "Too much?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-1#post-2276985 Sun, 14 Aug 2022 14:58:21 +0000 CarolS 2276985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Angie! I knew you'd be on board with the colour! CarolS on "Too much?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-1#post-2276984 Sun, 14 Aug 2022 14:56:43 +0000 CarolS 2276984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, kkards -- I don't think I've worn black pants at all this summer. And I might have worn a black tee shirt once or twice only. This has been the summer of white and COLOUR!! Winter will probably be a bit trickier to navigate without black pants, so I'm taking advantage of summer while it lasts! Thanks, Stag. I know what you meant. But I need the tuck until I can pare down some of my midsection "fluff". The paperbag waist and tie make it awkward to have something sit fully over it. Something that came just to the top would be too revealing any time I moved my arms -- no desire to expose the "soft underbelly".  Angie on "Too much?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-1#post-2276980 Sun, 14 Aug 2022 14:49:42 +0000 Angie 2276980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ KILLER colour and fit.

Jules -- yes, in "the world before" we used to go to Palm Sorings for a few days every winter. We're hoping to get there this year, and I was just thinking these might be fun to take along.  Vildy -- it's always a crap-shoot at Winners/Marshalls, but I have found a few interesting things lately. The brown linen pants in my earlier WIW are Young, Fabulous and Broke (by way of Marshall's). I also found a GStar denim jacket that will probably go back as I KNOW I don't need it! I've found the odd Banana Republic piece there, too. Obviously not current year's stock, but when the style and colour are right, I don't really care if it's this year's or not. CarolS on "Too much?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-1#post-2276973 Sun, 14 Aug 2022 14:31:49 +0000 CarolS 2276973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jenni - such good questions -- especially with our summer drawing to a close. Although I'd still be happy to drop a few more pounds, my weight has been pretty stable for the last year. I wouldn't object to losing a few more pounds and would like to at least tone up a bit, but I think most of what I have would remain wearable even if I dropped another five pounds. I carry weight in my waist, so additional small loss would help pants fit better at the waist without changing the hip fit TOO much. Stag -- Good food for thought. And you're right. I don't wear skirts much these days, and I don't really wear shorts, so having a variety of summer pants is key.  Yes, these pants would be perfectly acceptable in my workplace styled with the right support act. (I wouldn't wear them to a board meeting, but for an average summer workday, not an issue.) I appreciate the suggestion but a cropped top would be a big no with these pants -- for me at least. Probably a different story for a gal with a tighter midsection. I'll stick to a semi tuck for now.  Thanks xtabay, mirjana and nadya! Sal -- I think I overbought this year for a couple of reasons -- One, I lived in the same three pairs of pants for the past three or four summers, and I was SO bloody excited to have some options. Two, I found colours that are often NOT available, or that I've struggled to find in the right combination of fit, fabric, flattery and, well, cost -- toffee, dark brown, and now this incredible orange. linen. I can now easily dress for a wide variety of summer occasions, so provided everything continues to fit, I can see not really needing to add any pants next year. Vildy on "Too much?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-1#post-2276971 Sun, 14 Aug 2022 14:14:18 +0000 Vildy 2276971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ hmmm I had quit going to Marshall's years ago because I could never turn up anything interesting anymore.  Might be time to check them out again, eh.  These are amazing.  You look great in them. Jules on "Too much?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-1#post-2276967 Sun, 14 Aug 2022 13:46:48 +0000 Jules 2276967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you’ve styled them beautifully. Do you do ‘down south’ vacations at all (Florida, Caribbean etc)? These would be perfect for that too. The Cat on "Too much?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-much-1#post-2276966 Sun, 14 Aug 2022 13:46:12 +0000 The Cat 2276966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Not too much. Great summer look with the white top. And it seems that you have a matching phone!

I think if the color makes you happy you’ll be glad you got them and wear them a lot.
