And I like them with the coat, too. Very dramatic with the scarf!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-winter-trousers#post-1584810 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 04:13:40 +0000 Jaime 1584810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great with the boots, blouse and jacket. Coat does look big on you but I like the way you draped the bag over it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-winter-trousers#post-1584682 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 22:09:07 +0000 Colette 1584682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your adorable dogs match your outfit! I really like the cream on cream look. I know what you are saying about not exposing ankle skin in the winter. I have a slimmer cropped pair of dress pants that fit over a pair of higher shaft booties that don't allow exposed skin. The booties fit close to the ankle so it works to keep me covered and warm.</p> <p>I have to say that you brought back great memories for me with your Mom's belt from Marshall Field's. I miss my Grandmother taking me shopping to Marshall Field's on State Street. She loved that store and I did too. Still miss it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-winter-trousers#post-1584657 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:40:48 +0000 UtahDesert 1584657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thanks so much for all the feedback! I've wanted a pair of serious-looking charcoal grey pants for years, and while I thought I wanted a trouser-style leg I do find a narrow cut more flexible since it frees me up to play with volume on top. (I've also got a black pair, since an odd sale discount calculation made them ridiculously cheap.)</p> <p>As for footwear, I don't think I'll ever bring myself to wear pumps--thinking dresses and skirts required them was what kept me in pants for decades. I see what you mean about the scrunch, and I'll probably go with different boots next time (and keep an eye out for a narrower bootie with a heel). Since I'm not into even an inch of bare leg in the late fall or winter I'll have a challenge styling these ankle pants in that regard.</p> <p>The black-faced dog is Zin, and the one with a wide white stripe down the center of his face is Zephyr. They're getting a kick out of these outfit photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-winter-trousers#post-1584619 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 18:17:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1584619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those trousers are fantastic on you. I love the dressy look of the blouse and lace jacket with them. I find it hard to make out the details of the boot/pant look here (these colors are so hard to photograph), but I'm wondering with Joy if there might be a tad more scrunch than I might find ideal with the silk and lace on top; I would go for a sleeker look on the bottom half, perhaps a shorter bootie that does not interfere with the pants hem or a pump or perhaps a tall riding boot or over the knee boot. Stilll, this is a very picky point, and I think you look elegant. Going for the heels was a great choice. This outfit would be great for work-to-dinner or holiday gatherings. In my experience, a great pair of charcoal ankle pants is a total wardrobe workhorse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-winter-trousers#post-1584592 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:26:31 +0000 deb 1584592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-winter-trousers#post-1584556 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 14:59:21 +0000 Angie 1584556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice new trousers - I like it styled with the blouse and blazer - and your doggie is adorable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-winter-trousers#post-1584537 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 13:51:51 +0000 Anonymous 1584537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blazer looks great over the silky blouse and I like the pants tucked into the boots.The generous fit of the coat&nbsp;works in&nbsp;that style, I think and the pop of colour from the scarf is fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-winter-trousers#post-1584534 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 13:46:20 +0000 Anonymous 1584534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The lace jacket is beautiful and looks wonderful with the trousers and blouse. I'll let others comment on the trousers but wonder if there is a little too much scrunch for this outfit. I'm not good at this. Have you tried pumps as in the AT photo? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-winter-trousers#post-1584487 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 07:44:56 +0000 Jeanie 1584487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the cream on cream toppers with your coloring. &nbsp;I can't see the boots that well on my screen but I like the shape of them. &nbsp;I think the pants would look good with flats for booties with a bit of skin showing (of course sometimes it is too cold for that). &nbsp;The scarf is very pretty on you. &nbsp;Who is that fury face sneaking into the pics? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-winter-trousers#post-1584473 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 06:36:18 +0000 UtahDesert 1584473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In spite of my plan to spend winter in pencil skirts and sweater dresses, I recently picked up the Ann Taylor Kate Refined Ankle Pants, in charcoal, and tried them out today with the lace blazer I picked up at a consignment store. I went for a cream on cream look on top with a silky blouse--in the past I would have gone for more contrast, but I now like the idea of close enough colors. Gold accessories, including a metallic belt my mother probably picked up at Marshall Fields in the 1950s. The outfit looked just a little staid and matronly to my eyes, so I went for high heeled black boots--instead of my usual flat moto boots--for a little dash. I tucked the pants into the boots and to my surprise they stayed tucked in, but I'm not sure what I think about the tucked-in look.</p> <p>Photos 5 and 6 are with outerwear--the oversized Trouve coat that I bought back when I weighed more and also I wasn't so picky about fit, together with the scarf that leapt into my hand this morning. </p>
