I hope you're able to find more items like this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pants-knots-and-style-transition/page/2#post-2186476 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 13:16:32 +0000 Anonymous 2186476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your color combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pants-knots-and-style-transition/page/2#post-2186475 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 13:03:26 +0000 Bijou 2186475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, yes staying realistic is a challenge for me. I enjoyed wearing this outfit, something that often is lacking in very practical choices.</p> <p>Suz, you most definitely are my style inspiration because you have perfected getting the balance right between wearing what you like and what suits your lifestyle. There is nothing wrong with having a dressy style, just as long as it does not result in fantasy life purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pants-knots-and-style-transition#post-2186416 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 04:41:46 +0000 Suz 2186416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are gorgeous on you, Bijou! And yes, a bit of 40s or 50s glam is right up your alley, really! Retro for the win. These are fab pants.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the skirt, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really relate to the challenge of adapting style preferences to lifestyle. It's my constant issue, it seems. But I'm making progress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pants-knots-and-style-transition#post-2186411 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 04:12:15 +0000 Sal 2186411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A really great look on you, it is true to yourself but also realistic for working from home.</p> <p>The cream skirt is lovely too!!</p> <p>And I think your 12 year old may be more into clothes than my 16 and 19 year olds...... but you can be confident in your taste:)&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Loved Mash and Loved Hot Lips..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pants-knots-and-style-transition#post-2186409 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 03:50:25 +0000 Bijou 2186409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenna - yes - I am most definitely a skirts and dress girl, but it is nice to have some trousers in the mix.</p> <p>Jenni - you and Neil are soo fun, your M.A.S.H outfits are great, of course Klinger was the standout in terms of being a fashionista in that show. DS is now 12, so yes, I am getting a bit of teen attitude from time to time.</p> <p>Jonesy - the cream skirt is a nice piece and I think will be a workhorse too.</p> <p>Jenn - when I need to boss the boys around, I will go for the Hot Lips look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pants-knots-and-style-transition#post-2186259 Mon, 12 Apr 2021 16:06:39 +0000 Jenn 2186259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hot Lips Houlihan! I haven’t thought of her in forever! You do kind of look like her actually. Pair those pants with a fitted turtleneck and the transformation would be complete!</p> <p>I really like the high waist on you, and you’ve dressed the olive up in a perfectly Bijou way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pants-knots-and-style-transition#post-2186256 Mon, 12 Apr 2021 16:01:17 +0000 Jonesy 2186256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful silhouette and fit on those pants--you look fab! The pairing with the pink blouse and scarf works really well and ups the glamour. I love that cream skirt too; I can see why it had to come home with you :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pants-knots-and-style-transition#post-2186162 Mon, 12 Apr 2021 09:58:17 +0000 Jenni NZ 2186162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks wonderful. I dressed up as Hot Lips for a M.A.S.H. dinner party at a Conference once in 2008 ( Neil went as Klinger and won a competition!) but you do it way better and don’t have to wear a blonde wig like I did!<br /> DS has maybe turned into a teenager??<br /> Hope you don’t lose all the gorgeous dressiness out of your style... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pants-knots-and-style-transition#post-2186142 Mon, 12 Apr 2021 08:00:43 +0000 Anonymous 2186142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m surprised how much I like this on you! Not because it’s not great but because I think of you as amazing in skirts/dresses. This is really unique and equally as great! </p> <p></p> <p>P.S.</p> <p></p> <p>Somehow it keeps attaching a find to my reply here, accidentally!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pants-knots-and-style-transition#post-2186136 Mon, 12 Apr 2021 06:22:27 +0000 Bijou 2186136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy - I think that's why I liked them, because they have a slightly dressy vibe.</p> <p>Minaminu - I have shied away from olive, but I think as long as I wear tops in my favourite colours, these pants will be a good addition for me.</p> <p>Liesbeth - Katherine Hepburn was so amazing, I really love her style.</p> <p>Always Trying - the scarf is a favourite. I am funny as I buy scarves and some I wear often, and others rarely - it can be very hard working out exactly what is the factor that makes them work.</p> <p>Cardiff Girl - yes I am a hot weather specialist, as soon as it goes below 20C I sort of freak out and say it is 'freezing'!</p> <p>Cat2 - I am very happy that these are casual yet dressy enough for me to enjoy wearing.</p> <p>Mirjana - the pink shirt is a firm favourite and one of my favourite wardrobe workhorses.</p> <p>Roxanna - yes it is hard having lots of great clothes that feel too dressy for working from home. Today I am in an old work outfit, but it is on the less dressy side of what I previously wore and so I am enjoying it. Some of those sharp suits are just 'too much' for a day at home.</p> <p>JAileen - yes I love the 70's vibe of these wide leg pants.</p> <p>Carla - ooh - a pirate look, now that could be fun!</p> <p>Irina - thank you. I always marvel at how perfectly your clothing fits and so am trying to be very fussy and not settle for items that don't fit well. It really makes all the difference.</p> <p>Angie - you always look so incredibly fabulous, I am sure that you would rock these pants.</p> <p>LaPed - I am actually looking forward to dressing to please myself - but also being realistic and going with what works for my lifestyle. I do feel that only buying practical and more casual items is an important way to proceed.</p> <p>Smittie - dressed up casual is my new style goal!</p> <p>LisaP - I love you pale blue with olive and want to try that combination out too.</p> <p>Kellygirl - my husband loves wearing his olive combat pants and so was a bit worried when he saw my pants that we will look like twins - he doesn't wear his olive with pink, so we are good to go!</p> <p>Shevia - I like how these pants have that more formal military vibe - cargo pants can be tough for me to like - so thank you for explaining why these spoke to me. I do like military when it has a tailored look.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pants-knots-and-style-transition#post-2186109 Mon, 12 Apr 2021 02:49:51 +0000 Jaime 2186109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your Hot Lips reference but I think Slim Cat's Marilyn Monroe off duty is even more perfect. Beautiful color combination, and I like how you glammed up the military vibe trousers and the perfect placement of your scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pants-knots-and-style-transition#post-2186102 Mon, 12 Apr 2021 01:05:58 +0000 kellygirl 2186102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha!
