I love, love, love this top on you! You are stunning! What a beautiful shoe collection. All versions are fab, but I think the pumps are my favorite with this outfit.&nbsp;You really look amazing in ankle pants.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-901115 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 02:21:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 901115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fantastic sewing skills! And I think the length of the trousers works thanks to the lovely taper and your choice of footwear. Speaking of footwear - those Anyi Lu pumps are stunning - that's why #1 is my favourite. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-901073 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 01:44:11 +0000 Beth Ann 901073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I noticed the matching immediately -- it's one of those things I so often miss in purchased items.&nbsp; Beautiful silhouette.&nbsp; I think the taper makes the pants work, and I prefer the look with the pumps, although all versions are good!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-900955 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 23:02:44 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 900955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like it with the lace up pumps, myself. It fills in some of the visual space between the pants and shoes nicely and makes the pant length look intentional. Love the colors too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-900799 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 19:06:47 +0000 Anonymous 900799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ha! you got me! spotted it straight away https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-900793 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 19:01:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 900793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ceit, thanks. The extra taper helped a lot in my mind, too. And my previous comfort zone was flat shoes with skinny pants, so I'm venturing out these days with some heels. (Heeled booties were my transition to this look.)<br />&nbsp;<br />Diane, nothing draws a sewist's eye quite like a plaid or stripe at a seam, does it? Thanks for the compliment. <br /><br />Isabel, thanks! I also tried those Fidjis with this outfit and will probably wear them with the pants, but with a different top. It's so interesting how footwear can just change the entire feel of an outfit.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-900630 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:11:53 +0000 Isabel 900630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OH I love it. I just love the color combo. &nbsp;You jacket is beautiful ! I have no sewing skills, but it always makes me so happy to see people on here who sew. My mom was a fabulous seamstress, still is, and I love to see the talent carry on.&nbsp;<br /><br />I love both pair of shoes. Forgive me, but I can't remember if I commented on you Fidjis the other day. They looked&nbsp;<b><i>fantastic.&nbsp;</i></b><i></i> You really are just beautiful ! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-900604 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:35:51 +0000 Day Vies 900604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the fit and proportions!

I think the pants work ok because they are tapered. They look great with the pumps. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-900464 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 05:41:48 +0000 Kiwichik 900464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You made that blouse?

Those lace-up pumps are fun shoes. I get compliments from strangers when I wear them. I will have to pair them with these pants sometime.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-900382 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 03:51:49 +0000 Lantana 900382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love all these, Firecracker, but my&nbsp;favourite look is with the lace up pumps; I&nbsp;don't see how you could improve on the hem length with them, it looks&nbsp;perfect. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-900378 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 03:45:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 900378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Makrame, you made me chuckle!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-900373 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 03:38:08 +0000 Makrame 900373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful blouse, and the pants look great with the pumps in #1 - I did not even realize these were ankle pants, your legs look so long!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-900362 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 03:01:58 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 900362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all!<br />Suz, thanks for your vote of confidence on the ankle pants. I altered these pants to narrow them at the ankle, so they don't stick out at the back hem like they did off the rack. They don't look like Angie's preferred length, and perhaps a longer or maybe a shorter length would be more flattering. But I do like them anyway. <br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-900350 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:42:22 +0000 Suz 900350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look amazing. Those pumps really <b>do</b> look comfortable. And this is wearing ankle pants extremely well! You look very long and lean. What a gorgeous top you sewed yourself, too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinny-pants-and-cowl-neck-blouse#post-900348 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:40:18 +0000 merwoman 900348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous - love your blouse!

I made it up as a cowl-neck pullover blouse.<br /><br />Here it is in today's outfit for work. I paired it with charcoal gray skinny ankle pants--definitely not PPL, but well, sometimes we don't get things perfect and we (should I just say I?) wear them anyway. I tried on three different shoes and went with the pumps, a surprisingly comfortable all-day heel. (I carried the flats to work, but I didn't need to change!)<br /><br />Thoughts, ideas, welcome! Thanks for looking.<br /><br />1: Cowl-neck blouse in ink and black check cotton (made by me), charcoal skinny ankle pants (Lisette), black &amp; burnished gold pumps (Anyi Lu)<br />2: Same as a 1, but with black flats (AGL)<br />3: Same as 1, but with wine lace-up pumps (Naya)<br />4: black &amp; burnished gold pumps close-up<br /><br />
