I've done baggy pants since high school, but something about being slouchy, tapered, and non-denim always made me hesitate. </p> <p>I feel like the softness, and the way these drape to still show where my shape is, made these feel more right than other versions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-aint-no-slouch#post-750459 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:48:33 +0000 Carole 750459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great outfit, the colors are spectacular for you and I love your pendant! Meow!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-aint-no-slouch#post-750455 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:45:49 +0000 Angie 750455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-aint-no-slouch#post-750452 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:43:10 +0000 Aida 750452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How interesting that you feel it's a bit of a style departure! They seem very "Rae" to me: Slouchy? Check! Print? Check! Moody rich colors? Check! Heat appropriate fabric? Check! Works with boots? Check! I'm curious, what is it about them that feels different, the slightly 80s vibe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-aint-no-slouch#post-749927 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 05:56:41 +0000 catgirl 749927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's so great! I don't always trust my judgment, but all my senseless rooting around in the mud sometimes results in a truffle. I think these are a spin on your style in the best way - a little more refined but still hip and oh-so-nonchalant. They were meant to be! The jade blazer is another piece like that, just more in line with your usual picks to my eye. </p> <p>I was really impressed by how PPP your shopping style is and by your ability to walk away from the almost-perfect or the overpriced (I'm looking at you, swap meet pleather jacket!)... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-aint-no-slouch#post-749899 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 04:17:39 +0000 rae 749899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A new crop of volunteers took a tour of the Dress for Success boutique today, and no less than three people commented on my pants as soon as they came in - woah! This is a style departure for me - but dang if that is the departure, I can't wait to see what is waiting at the arrival gate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-aint-no-slouch#post-749815 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 02:27:48 +0000 Deborah 749815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look amazing on you.

Combing and re-combing the racks pays off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-aint-no-slouch#post-749359 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:21:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 749359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a stunning outfit on you Rae - those pants are AMAZING!
