People do make sometimes somewhat awkward remarks - speaks more about their own insecurities or something like that .<br />Your hair looks wonderful and echoes your cream corduroy pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400166 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 16:56:02 +0000 Suz 2400166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great. I think some people just think light bottoms take bravery to wear no matter what. I do recall the first time I ever wore white bottoms -- I felt like I stuck out for miles. I felt more self-conscious in those than I do in head to toe red! It must be from years of being drilled on the idea that if you are pear shaped, light bottoms are a figure flattery no.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, now I wear light bottoms in winter, too, and also get those kinds of remarks and I think, like <b>Jenni,</b> if it isn't people brainwashed by the above fashion "knowledge" it is people just making conversation. And also a few envious souls who recognize a stylish person when they see one and long to be that way themselves!&nbsp;</p> <p>The scarf is super fab!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400147 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 13:54:01 +0000 RobinF 2400147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is an awkward comment, how are you supposed to respond? Thanks? I have had people comment things like that and it is usually around the idea that white is too unflattering in bottoms. I don't really worry much about that and am actively searching for some ivory cords right now to replace some old ones that feel too skinny.</p> <p>Anyway, love the outfit and the inspiration. Nice scarf. We got a McNeil scarf in Edinburgh this year, it's a family name. But it is a Christmas gift, not mine unfortunately :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400144 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:04:10 +0000 Janet 2400144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What’s not to like? I think you look classically fab. The plaid scarf is a nice touch and I bet it finishes a lot of your winter outfits perfectly. You wear cream/light pants superbly — I only wish I did half as well! Alas, I am as dirt magnet and also shy of light colors on my lower half, so I’m mostly better off avoiding them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400143 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 11:05:15 +0000 lyn67 2400143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! Such a good copycat using the same colors and the plaid scarf is the&nbsp; cherry on top for the puffer look but I had a good laugh on the comments you got! And indeed, in some cases&nbsp; "you&nbsp;can’t just slap some colours together and expect it to work!" at least if you expect the same speciffic vibe or more...</p> <p>I use to wear my cream jeans for our Christmass walk&nbsp; (with black boots and a navy short puffer) and get the same comments...even if mines are crops and there was no precipitation for&nbsp; days:-)). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400140 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 08:37:55 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2400140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been wanting some wide cream cords like those! </p> <p>I have some less wide ones i was planning to try with a big green sweater, too, for one day this week.</p> <p>Your tartan really punches up the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400139 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 08:07:43 +0000 pirouette 2400139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cream cords are great and I love the scarf. I’m with Jenni I think people say things just to make conversation but don’t put their brains into gear first! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400134 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 02:24:18 +0000 Carol 2400134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pair of cream corduroys by Gap--the same as my brown ones. No one told me I was brave, but maybe they should have, because light-colored pants don't last with me.&nbsp; Actually, I see that they are the exact pair in Roberta's comment.&nbsp; I really enjoy how you paired it with that shade of green.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400131 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 01:53:27 +0000 Irina 2400131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 especially, a great outfit. Also could be worn with a red beret! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400125 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 01:30:17 +0000 Lisa 2400125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the light colored pants for winter. It's a refreshing change from a sea of darker colored bottoms.&nbsp;</p> <p>I never understood unsolicited comments. If it's not a compliment and I didn't ask for your opinion, why are you giving it to me? I always just respond with a smile because what else can a person do in that situation? *insert shrug* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400122 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 01:02:30 +0000 Nadine 2400122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit too, and also love the look of white pants in the winter when I see it on others. I might take inspiration from you and try it on myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400121 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:55:59 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2400121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both looks, and especially your inspired color combo of cream and that green, which you wear so well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400120 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:35:33 +0000 Jaime 2400120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Jenni AND Lisa regarding the comment. Yes it is just a way to make conversation and if I were feeling gracious I would let it roll off my back. And yes, people say the dumbest most hackneyed things under the cover of making conversation, when silence would be just fine. Regardless you look swell! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400117 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:08:26 +0000 JAileen 2400117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Well I love your outfit! &nbsp;Re light colored pants, I&nbsp;think they are worrying about dirt on cars and slush. &nbsp;When we lived at Lake Tahoe, I knew a woman who wore an off white wool coat. &nbsp;So not only would it show the dirt if she were to accidentally brush against a car, but she would have to have it dry cleaned, too!&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400114 Wed, 03 Dec 2025 23:19:09 +0000 LJP 2400114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great !! &nbsp; Why do people feel they have to comment on anything - it drives me nuts. &nbsp;Honestly one of my biggest pet peeves is other people voicing an opinion when it's not solicited. What do they expect for an answer? &nbsp;"Oh you're right, I'll go home and change immediately" ?</p> <p>&nbsp;Anyways, I love those pants on you - and need to research them for myself . &nbsp;I'd really love to wear cream jeans in the winter (cords might be a bit too bulky for me but you never know) and have been half-heartedly looking for a pair. &nbsp;The plaid scarf is gorgeous. &nbsp;Because I googled it to be sure, tartan refers to a specific type of fabric (as we expect to see in a kilt or blazer) &nbsp;, and doesn't include fluffy brushed wool...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400112 Wed, 03 Dec 2025 22:53:49 +0000 Angie 2400112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous,&nbsp;<b>Carla</b>! The tartan scarf makes the look! And you are KILLER perfect in a beret :)</p> <p>I'm with<b> Roberta!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the comments, I'd say, "thank you!", and smile! Personally, I wear cream and off-white pants year round in Seattle, where it is frequently wet and grey. The rain is no problem! And while I wouldn't wear them on a muddy walk, in slushy mess, to a dog park, or on a flight, I simply just wear them on days that don't involve those variables. Like you're doing with ease and personality today :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400111 Wed, 03 Dec 2025 22:47:13 +0000 Roberta 2400111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great, especially with the plaid scarf, always a nice winter touch. I also happened to wear my ivory cords outdoors today, and got a couple of small splashes on the back of my ankle. I don't care though, they're easily washable, and I wanted to wear my new ivory boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400109 Wed, 03 Dec 2025 22:29:46 +0000 Jenni NZ 2400109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think those kinds of comments are just people sort of making conversation, perhaps thinking that because it *could* be sloppy in a Canadian winter then that’s a risk you might be taking. Outfit is fine! Nice family tartan. I always use the word tartan myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6not-sure-about-this%e2%80%a6#post-2400106 Wed, 03 Dec 2025 22:13:26 +0000 Carla 2400106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wore #1 for running around doing errands, and a walk with DH. &nbsp;Got comments about the cream coloured corduroys - ‘you’re brave, wearing light coloured pants’!? &nbsp;It wasn’t sloppy out so…??? &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Was inspired by #2, but also saw an Instagram reel with a half dozen plaid scarf looks. &nbsp;The Buchanan plaid scarf is shared by the family. &nbsp;Apparently it’s a ‘family’ plaid on DH’s side. &nbsp;(DH’s parents immigrated to Canada from Scotland in the 1950’s.)</p> <p>I think it’s the open neck and ruffles of the sweater in #2 as well as the gold metallic footwear. &nbsp;Goes to show you can’t just slap some colours together and expect it to work! &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>#3 is another outfit with the cream cords. &nbsp;They are soft, with an elastic waist - so easy like sweat pants. &nbsp;</div> </p>
