Great to see pics of the purple. Would be fun to pair with a chunkier top or cardigan- maybe short and boxy but a little drapey so still shows off the pants.<br /> Happy birthday- and what cute photo assistants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153452 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 00:51:44 +0000 LaPed 2153452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous colours all around! Love the new trousers. Museums... jealous sigh.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153438 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 22:17:04 +0000 Anonymous 2153438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pants and I think they might be super well balanced silhouette wise and color wise by Runcarla's mustard cardigan idea.</p> <p>I think they look great with boots and it's so funny, this style really does not look so unusual to me! With boots they look comfortable and practical for the cool wet weather of autumn and winter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153432 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 21:32:17 +0000 Roxanna 2153432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - these pants have sparked quite a conversation!</p> <p>One thing I love about the YLF forum is how everyone is honest yet respectful. I can totally see that maybe it seems like a lot of pant for me, and even though I don't usually dig an 80's vibe, I really like these.&nbsp;I actually think these pants work better on my curvy body than a long lean body, because I fill them out, but that's just personal preference (finally a thigh-hip-waist ratio that works for my body, <b>@Angie</b>!!) And as @Angie said, the camera angle is a little off here - I'll try to get i right next time.</p> <p>In fact, I think in my next iteration, I'll go all in with some volume on top in earth tones, like <b>@FashIntern</b> and <b>@LisaP</b> suggested. Though I'm glad so many of you, like me, love a moody dark floral.</p> <p>I think for me, I've been hugging the line of conventionally flattering for quite a long time now, and I'm really being drawn to playing with proportions and shapes. And also, the last 9 months of being in leisurewear mostly have really inspired me to wear whatever the heck I want moving forward, and being a little more adventurous!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153379 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 16:37:22 +0000 Suz 2153379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Roxanna,</b> happy birthday! What a wonderful treat to go to the museum for that exhibit -- I'd have loved that, too. Amazing that a museum outing feels positively thrilling these days, right? Well, I'd always have enjoyed it, but now....</p> <p>I love the purple pants, too. Yes, they are a lot, but in a good way, to my eye -- playing up your shape. Then again, I also remember the 80s and loved those pleated pegged pants then because they were among the first pants I'd ever found that fit my then curvier shape. </p> <p>I found a pair of these in my size again, but hesitated because there are no returns....so I will probably do without. But I really love the colour, fabric, and shape. And it encourages me to see how well they look on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also love the mustard cardi with the scarf! You just get better and better at mixing your vintage and consigned pieces with new ones. That's style!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153378 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 16:36:36 +0000 slim cat 2153378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday! You and little kids look adorable together!<br />Love your new pieces and outfit for museum - so harmonious in colors and shapes! Looking forward to more new outfits with purple pants - fun addition to your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153375 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 16:10:00 +0000 Anonymous 2153375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking about this - and agree with Lyn in that a chunky vest, or boxy jacket would be great too , to balance the propertions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153371 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 15:49:10 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2153371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your kiddos are super sweet! </p> <p>It’s no secret that I like curvy (which is different from overall big) bodies more than most people here. I think the slimming top that shows off that curve of your waist is fantastic with the pants that play up your lower curves. The museum outfit is great too—love the color pairing and the playfulness of that big coat over the slim items underneath. Have you tried the topper as a cardi with the purple pants/slim top outfit? The mustard, from straight across the color wheel from the purple, might be a fun pairing with it, and the topper is short enough that it wouldn’t cover the waist of the pants, so we’d still see that you have a waist, or you could wear it open over a fairly tailored top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153368 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 15:36:54 +0000 Angie 2153368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAPPY BIRTHDAY, <b>Roxanna! </b>Pic #1 is soooo adorable! Makes my heart melt....</p> <p>I love the purple pants! KILLER with the floral top. Body con worn with volume is a great juxtaposition. Showcases your gorgeous curves.&nbsp;The pants fit you really well, and I sooo get why you were drawn to them. the thighs-bottom-waist fit is sooooo good! I have an '80s sugar eye so personally, I find them flattering. This was the silhouette we wore back in 1985 and it was as mainstream as eating buttered toast. Great memories, and I am very nostalgic :)</p> <p>To be fair, I bet the purple pants look even better in person. The camera angle here is a little top-heavy.&nbsp;</p> <p>The museum outfit is super cute too! Glad you had a wonderful time. Enjoy your birthday month!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153362 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 15:20:39 +0000 Astrid 2153362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy belated birthday. You look great, in every picture. But I dig the purple pants, those are so cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153357 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 15:12:45 +0000 Janet 2153357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday! I’ll admit that I’m with Lisa in not loving the pants but that is my own personal bias speaking because I find that style extremely hard to wear personally, to the point of a poison eye. However, I love the turtleneck, and your mustard coat ensemble is brilliant! I like that you’re wearing what you love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153353 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 15:02:05 +0000 always trying 2153353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pants look good on you.&nbsp; love the cardi.&nbsp; cute kids... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153352 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 15:00:03 +0000 Carla 2153352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! &nbsp;Sorry your mom couldn’t go with you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153345 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 14:15:52 +0000 lyn67 2153345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birtghday, Roxanna-you had me with the mustard cardi and your lovely children! Then, I see what Lisap said about the pants- they seem indeed a bit overwhelming on your slim frame, but hey, we all have some outfits JFE-and use them accordingly. <br />Say-in the case of these pants- if mostly&nbsp; -covered by a coat, or&nbsp; thinking nobody will notice as being alone big part of the day... or when fashion police can only see us from&nbsp; the waist up:-)...or our boots/other parts of the outfit will blind them before even noticing---or we have a very confident day and simply don't care what others will say...-So all good, we have to trust and respect&nbsp; your decision to&nbsp; keep them in your&nbsp; precious wardrobe-BTW they have a fab color, a (perhaps) more edgy/trendy cut&nbsp; and are of wool! May be wrong, but strying them&nbsp; with a faux fur/puffer vest for adding a bit of bulk to the&nbsp; torso and so&nbsp; achieving&nbsp; more harmonious proportion?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153343 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 13:59:07 +0000 Helena 2153343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these Roxanna - there is so much to these outfits, but in a way that makes them rich and interesting but not overwhelming. Textures, rich and subtle colours, the pattern mix ... really, really artistic and beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153342 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 13:50:18 +0000 Liesbeth 2153342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday! Thanks for showing the pants in action! I can see why you like them but I can also see now that I would feel horribly self-conscious in them. It IS a lot of pants :-D.<br /> Good to see your two-way coatigan in action too (or did I misremember), it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153341 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 13:16:41 +0000 bella 2153341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday!

But I still think it’s ok— they’re just even MORE PANTS! More avant-garde??? In any case I love them. The color, the cut, fab fab fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153276 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 03:15:11 +0000 Brooklyn 2153276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are great but my eye went straight to the floral turtleneck. Great find! YLF. Happy birthday! Glad you got to enjoy an outing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153269 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 02:43:34 +0000 Jaime 2153269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you paired the purple pants with the fitted turtle neck - that is the way to wear avant garde body ignoring shapes when you don't want to go all in! Mustard sweater with beautiful peacock scarf is gorgeous. Also love the on the go look with coat - "our" hair is stunning! Kids are adorable, and finally: Happy birthday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153263 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 02:27:33 +0000 Anonymous 2153263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both your purple pants and mustard cardi are yummy. Now I want purple pants. That would be a good way to wear purple away from my face. I also like purple and olive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153262 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 02:22:29 +0000 Lynne 2153262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, the scarf is perfect. You wear these colours well, Roxanna, and you've got the things up from your cute kids :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---purple-pants-and-beyond#post-2153255 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 01:58:53 +0000 Roxanna 2153255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Lisa - I’ll be honest in saying that I was surprised that I liked them on me - my priorities have been so much about figure flattery. But something about the pandemic has brought out the ‘I only live once, no F’s to give’ attitude in me, and somehow I love wearing these parts in a different, more avant- garde shape. But I hear you abs always appreciate your honesty and diplomatic opinions </p> <p>@Carla - I do want to try the pants with the mustard cardigan! In fact I like purple best with earth tones. </p> <p>Thank you for the birthday wishes! The exhibit was in the origin of chintz in India. It was FASCINATING. I desperately wanted to go with my mom but we thought better of it (she is getting older and is caring for my dad, who has just had shoulder surgery.) I wore my mask the whole time (except for this pic, taken in the bathroom) but luckily there weren’t many people around so it was easy to distance. I will likely go see it again when restrictions let up. </p>
