I thought that might be the case MsMary on "WIW 4/8: Cobalt and gray" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-cobalt-and-gray#post-1217446 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:41:48 +0000 MsMary 1217446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aida, the pants are a very lightweight woven so I feel like they're plenty springy.  I actually don't wear them much in fall/winter because I feel like they're too lightweight!  And the scarf is super lightweight, too, BTW. It's funny how the photos never tell the whole story, isn't it?

Those wide leg trousers are amazing! I totally want a twin pair. Highfive to fellow wide leg wearing petite! The silver shoes are a great touch. What's the material of the pants? They look heavier to me, so this is reading a bit as a fall outfit.

And I love the wide legged trousers. So fun.

MsMary on "WIW 4/8: Cobalt and gray" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-cobalt-and-gray#post-1217359 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 17:28:55 +0000 MsMary 1217359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Marj, to me this tee is perfect because it is a great substantial fabric (with a very high spandex or other stretchy element -- it was originally part of a yoga/dance set that included pants), the sleeves are the perfect length and shape (I tend to have trouble with sleeves on tees being unflattering invarious ways), the neckline is perfect, it's body-hugging but not too tight, and the length is just right to stay tucked.  Where did I find it?  In the back of my closet where it's been buried since college.  Petite Marj on "WIW 4/8: Cobalt and gray" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-cobalt-and-gray#post-1217358 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 17:25:35 +0000 Petite Marj 1217358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You mention the "perfect tee!" I love how you again have taken a staple and turned it into an amazing outfit. What, in your opinion, constitutes perfection in this garment? Where do you find, as a petite woman, tees that tick all of the necessary boxes??? rachylou on "WIW 4/8: Cobalt and gray" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-cobalt-and-gray#post-1217333 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 17:06:33 +0000 rachylou 1217333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes... wide legs are starting appeal to me again. Over flares (!!)

Having just read Angie's latest blog post I wonder how this would look without the scarf or maybe with the scarf tied in a different way to elongate your neck which I think would take the perfection of this outfit one step further. Anyway with or without the scarf you look fab.

Von on "WIW 4/8: Cobalt and gray" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-cobalt-and-gray#post-1217237 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 15:44:30 +0000 Von 1217237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love how you have dressed up your tee for the office.  Adding this to my summertime *must try* list.  First up, find the perfect tee!

Your legs do look a mile long, I love the gray shades topped off by the scarf and they combine beautifully with the cobalt jacket and bag. I'll have to try this.
