Powder blue goes so well with olive khakis. I&nbsp;actually&nbsp;have these khakis on their way to me. Now I want a powder blue blouse too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-931514 Mon, 13 May 2013 21:59:45 +0000 Niefern 931514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you look good but it is not really your preferred style, as you are not entirely happy wearing it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-929175 Fri, 10 May 2013 01:15:49 +0000 Jaime 929175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This looks great with the pants scrunched up and I love your blue suede shoes! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-929136 Fri, 10 May 2013 00:25:13 +0000 Angie 929136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ We all like this look on you Tex! I too prefer the khakis scrunched shorter. That blue is especially beautiful against your complexion. <br /><br />Thing is do YOU like the look? That's where it's at. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-929060 Thu, 09 May 2013 22:55:39 +0000 Caro in Oz 929060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What CL said love the colours they look casual &amp;&nbsp;sophisticated. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928995 Thu, 09 May 2013 21:10:48 +0000 CocoLion 928995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look ready for anything! &nbsp;My favorite is the last, with the rolled pants and jacket. &nbsp;It's a bit more polished but I like the way this outfit can transition depending on whether you remove the jacket and/or scrunch the pants. &nbsp;You could go on a long walk then have brunch at a chic cafe and look just right. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928867 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:25:24 +0000 pil 928867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That blue is so pretty, I like it with the olive. It reminds me a bit of Day Vies outfit with her husband's jacket. All of the pants lengths are nice, I think prefer the scrunched look if only because it is a bit more unexpected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928844 Thu, 09 May 2013 17:48:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 928844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a fabulous color combination and I really like those khakis on you, at every length. Love this! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928817 Thu, 09 May 2013 17:27:30 +0000 Suz 928817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this! The colours are so soft yet rich together -- calming and energizing at the same time. And the whole effect is of relaxed, easy, unstructured structure! Brilliant!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928812 Thu, 09 May 2013 17:25:22 +0000 texstyle 928812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Joy and rachylou! I'm still getting used to the rolled pants myself. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928782 Thu, 09 May 2013 16:47:10 +0000 rachylou 928782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really love these pants with the two blues (shoes and shirt) and your blond hair.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928776 Thu, 09 May 2013 16:42:49 +0000 Anonymous 928776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors are great together and I like the pants best in the second version, rolled to just below the knee, but my eye is still adjusting to the longer rolled style.<br /> I've also used fashion tape (from SteinMart) with good results. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928762 Thu, 09 May 2013 16:21:51 +0000 texstyle 928762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you Ingunn, Day Vies and Kelly!&nbsp; <br /><br />Kelly, the fashion tape did not leave a sticky residue on anything I've used it on so far. I got mine via Amazon but I imagine they may carry it other places. Here's a link to the kind I bought:<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hollywood-Fashion-Double-Stick-Strips-36-count/dp/B000K9NZJE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1368116490&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=fashion+tape" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Hollywoo.....1_2?ie=UTF</a> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928729 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:46:39 +0000 kellygirl 928729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look so effortlessly stylish. What a great khakis look--both scrunched and rolled. I think the blues look amazing with the olive. LOVE the wide belt. You nailed it. Those khakis deserve time out in the sun--they are fab on you!<br /><br />RE: Fashion tape. I saw your post but didn't want to bump up again. It doesn't leave a sticky residue on clothes does it? I will look next time I'm at the store. Do you get it at places like Target or Joanne's?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928726 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:44:24 +0000 Day Vies 928726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the pants rolled both ways (I'm warming up to this look!), I prefer this outfit without the topper. This color combination is fabulous on you!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928724 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:40:38 +0000 Ingunn 928724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I thhink the colors are utterly gorgeous, and I wouldn't change a thing! I prefer the legs rolled up to under&nbsp;your knees. The navy knit blazer&nbsp;is adding enough structure and contrast to make this a really beautiful and chic outfit.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928720 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:37:06 +0000 texstyle 928720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Sara L.!&nbsp; <br />Claire - Glad you approve :-).&nbsp;And you're right, it IS nice to be able to adjust the pant length just like our sleeve length. &nbsp;I just returned a different pair of khaki tans - I ordered them thinking they were a more denim material. I guess I just didn't read clearly. Then they arrived and were just like those khakis I wore at the office for so many years, just a&nbsp;lower rise. "Those" tan khakis were not a good fashion memory for me. I can wear them as shorts but not as pants. I'm still on the lookout for some neutral colored slim or straight&nbsp;jeans but I&nbsp;don't think grey is right for me, unless I could find a charcoal or sort of brownish grey. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928714 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:31:38 +0000 Scarlet 928714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That cornflower blue is a lovely color on you. I like the mix of blues and the blazer looks good. I like the pants rolled to under your knee. I do think that the cropped pants and dark ankle straps of the sandals cut your leg in two places, so that might be something you can play with. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928710 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:26:43 +0000 Anonymous 928710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well I really like this on you (surprise, surprise). The olive color for the pants takes them out of khaki territory and the relaxed light blue T with navy totally works for me. I like them scrunched, but most of all I like that they're versatile and you can roll them down in cold A/C if you want. I think sleeves and pant legs should be able to roll up and down for practical not just fashion reasons! What a concept.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928709 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:26:34 +0000 Sara L. 928709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like them with the blazer and I like the different shades of blue with the olive pants.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928667 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:54:57 +0000 texstyle 928667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ceit - I had a feeling you'd like them scrunched up. I really like them with the blazer too. <br /><br />Diane G. - thank you, glad you like it and I guess I am a pretty relaxed, easy going person.<br /><br />Carole - at&nbsp;first DH was skeptical about the color combo, until I put on the shoes, then he said "yes, that works".&nbsp; These Gap slouchy khakis are&nbsp;pretty roomy&nbsp;but it is a fun change of pace. I bought the larger of my usual size (I go between 8 and 10) so&nbsp;I could have sized down I guess but then they wouldn't have all that bagginess.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928660 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:46:52 +0000 Carole 928660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great, I really like the powder blue with olive. Well done! Cute shoes, too. I'm still on a quest for olive khakis! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928645 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:36:47 +0000 Anonymous 928645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I definitely think they work, I like it a lot! You have an easy relaxed vibe about you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928643 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:36:07 +0000 Anonymous 928643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like them rolled to under the knee, and love them with the blazer. I like the colours together a lot.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--olive-baggies-blue-suede-shoes#post-928636 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:33:14 +0000 texstyle 928636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So I haven't been reaching for these Gap slouchy khakis but I thought it was time to give them another try. I wanted to pair them with a more unconventional color and one of my favorite belts (at Angie's request) but the belt was too wide for the loops. So I had to figure out another option. A navy belt seemed neutral enough and I wanted to try out my new blue suede sandals (DH dubbed them my "Blue Suede Shoes").&nbsp; I have a very lightweight unstructured slub knit&nbsp;navy "blazer" for the cold AC so I came up with this outfit. I tried the pants rolled up, and&nbsp;rolled up and scrunched just for fun.<br /><br />The shoes show their color best in the first photo (it's very dark and rainy here today so colors weren't showing best).<br /><br />The key pieces, tee, belt and pants all from Gap<br />The blazer from Nordies<br />The sandals from Spain (courtesy of Zappos, as opposed to a wonderful souvenir from an amazing vacation - but a girl&nbsp;can dream, right?)<br /><br />What do you think? Does powder blue navy and olive work? What would you change?
