I've been preemptively searching for a replacement for years, but no dice - so hard to find all those warm colours in one big pattern! </p> <p>Haha @StagiareFash I made sure to buy cargo pants that look nothing like his (other than the pockets) so that they wouldn't get confused :P<br /> Nail polish is the one 'adornment' I've kept adding during the pandemic, since I can 'set it &amp; forget it' - unlike jewellery. Am curious to try some of those new permeable brands though, for breathability.<br /> Thanks about the hair - it's still a work in progress learning to love my natural texture, but I think I'm finally getting the hang of the products needed for uniform curl in subtropical climate. Let's see how much it frizzes up come summer though, lol - just mentioned on Ginger's thread the other day that it seems to form ringlets below but just waves on top. I weirdly seem to *lose* the curls the shorter I go - just wavy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-cargo#post-2251644 Sat, 12 Feb 2022 15:57:54 +0000 Zaeobi 2251644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@column Oh that's funny, I completely forgot that was there - I keep saying I'll update my YLF Finds with my *actual* wardrobe items but still haven't gotten round to it. I keep putting off photographing everything &amp; uploading via a computer - at this rate, I probably won't until after I've left HK lol! </p> <p>I *did* have a pair like those linen brown balloon pants (not those exact ones) but they bit the dust I have some brick red ones instead though - I bought them from the HK seller @Anysize on Etsy, if you're interested? </p> <p>Anyway thanks for the reminder to virtually document my closet - maybe this will finally be the year that I do, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-cargo#post-2251622 Sat, 12 Feb 2022 13:19:35 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2251622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look amazing! These might be wfh outfits for you, but I bet your hubs isn’t getting any work done, lol. The cargo pants even have that pocket detail like his favorite shorts, so y’all can pretend they’re kindred spirits.<br /> I’m usually not a fan of nail polish, but the mermaid color works really well here.<br /> I’m jealous of your curly hair. On its best days, mine has some curls close to those on the very bottom layer in back—yours is all-over gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-cargo#post-2251621 Sat, 12 Feb 2022 13:06:48 +0000 Column 2251621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the IDs, Zaeobi!</p> <p>The brown linen cargos are in your collections under "My HK Wardrobe" (or something like that--your most recent listing). You are correct that your ASOS satin cargos are sold out. They are smashing on you; wear often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-cargo#post-2251610 Sat, 12 Feb 2022 03:13:09 +0000 rachylou 2251610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cargos are the bomb. The scarf is perfect with them… and the footwear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-cargo#post-2251568 Fri, 11 Feb 2022 11:39:38 +0000 Carla 2251568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking absolutely gorgeous, Z. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-cargo#post-2251557 Fri, 11 Feb 2022 10:11:56 +0000 Zaeobi 2251557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks @Angie, you too! </p> <p>@Synne @RobinF Thank you - the teal nail polish has lasted surprisingly long (few days!) </p> <p>@JenniNZ &amp; @CardiffGirl Thank you - I think 'new romantic' is an apt description. Rather than using my hair to add edge/ modern style, think I'll do it with some select casual pieces (like these cargo pants) - hmm, I can smell a new outfit formula brewing... </p> <p>@suntiger I'm not surprised - is it because of the colour? It's a little oversized on me - which works great for a colder climate (layering jumpers underneath), but not so much here. I'm looking to replace it with a more fitted version eventually, but no rush. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-cargo#post-2251486 Thu, 10 Feb 2022 19:31:34 +0000 Cardiff girl 2251486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really lovely outfit.It has new romantic vibes especially with your gorgeous hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-cargo#post-2251476 Thu, 10 Feb 2022 17:44:34 +0000 Anonymous 2251476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty nailpolish and love the coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-cargo#post-2251471 Thu, 10 Feb 2022 17:23:28 +0000 RobinF 2251471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh love!

Wasn't expecting this level of love for such a casual WFH outfit - especially with damp hair, lol! </p> <p>@Angie It's ridiculous how HK went from single digit cases in December, to 1k+ now... </p> <p>@Suz Unfortunately not (they're the sold out 'Parallel Lines high waisted cargo trousers with utility detail' from ASOS ) BUT if you search for 'satin cargo' there, I do spy a pink pair with ruching - could I perhaps tempt you with those for 'dressy WFH'? </p> <p>@column These are a satin finish - which linen pants do you mean? Let me just give you all my outfit details lol (note that most items are at least a season old, though): </p> <p>- Trousers: (ASOS) Parallel Lines high waisted cargo trousers with utility detail<br /> - Top: (Monki) Olinda cotton sweatshirt<br /> - Scarf: (ASOS) 8+ years old now - Think it was called an 'aztec blanket scarf'?<br /> - Boots: (Nordstrom) Blondo Mady waterproof combat boots<br /> - Nails: (Sephora) Colour Hit Nail polish, in L62 Full Moon Party </p> <p>Hope that helps </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-cargo#post-2251427 Thu, 10 Feb 2022 02:56:03 +0000 Jaime 2251427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

Lovely all around!

Gorgeous, poetic romantic rich teals and browns and I love the nail polish with the scarf! You look gorgeous!&nbsp;</p> <p>Those pants are fantastic! I could use something like that.

Cropped length works well with high-rise everything, but am considering cutting off an extra inch so no tuck needed. </p> <p>Added a few more shots to show the satin finish of these cargo pants - I've been adding these sorts of 'dressy casual' pieces as I slowly come to terms with my current lifestyle not being as formal as it was back home. Like how I can dress them up with mermaid nail polish, but also down with a slightly oversized, teal bouclé coat </p>
