Thanks Viva :)</p> <p>And yes, I must admit, I could live in BF jeans and be happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dreaded-ankle-pants#post-1075280 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 15:10:58 +0000 viva 1075280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tammyw, I would search for posts on Theory pants. They really seem to get the best buzz from Angie and from other posters as far as great trousers go, if that is the style of pants you are looking for -- modern cut but classic feel. They are an investment but seem to look great, wear well, and last long. I may need to start building a little Theory fund so I can invest in a suit! I know Suz wears a lot of Theory, and others do too.</p> <p>PS I love rolled BF jeans too -- and I also need a new pair of trousers. We must be YLF soul sisters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dreaded-ankle-pants#post-1075270 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 15:04:26 +0000 tammyw 1075270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the response Viva. I really love rolled up boyfriend jeans, so I guess I am one who likes things not all the way to the floor sometimes as well! </p> <p>Regarding the pants I got, I'm not sure I love them. I wouldn't mind finding a great pair of floor length pants, but I am really struggling to find a gorgeous pair that would stand the test of time.</p> <p>Any recommendations?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dreaded-ankle-pants#post-1075269 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 15:04:11 +0000 Marmee 1075269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like ankle pants (when it's not cold!), despite Angie's cautions, and think they look great on you! &nbsp;And I love the cozy vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dreaded-ankle-pants#post-1075264 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 15:01:28 +0000 viva 1075264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TammyW, I don't think ankle pants are a strict no-no, but I believe Angie is a major advocate of long pants, quite long, and those of us who still have ankle-pant-love do seem to be a minority. I wouldn't return them if you love them, but I am pro-ankle and wear them quite a lot actually (wearing another pair today). As some have noted here, it may be because they work particularly well for my build, I don't know. I just love how they look on me, which is pretty much how I make clothing decisions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dreaded-ankle-pants#post-1074760 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 01:02:26 +0000 unfrumped 1074760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that whole outfit on you a lot. I think they work for you, and it's amazing with the footwear. I think it's important to have the right skimming tapered fit and you got that perfectly proportioned for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dreaded-ankle-pants#post-1074671 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 23:47:29 +0000 Jjsloane 1074671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear this !

You are a lucky one viva. You must have a nice long leg line. I can see your waist, even under your cute chunky knit vest, but a cropped vest or pullover would show that much more leg line. Great outfit all around, and I love the crisp white BB! Have a productive, shopping-free day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dreaded-ankle-pants#post-1074110 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:33:31 +0000 Emily 1074110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, ankle pants and all! &nbsp;I really like the bold cables on the vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dreaded-ankle-pants#post-1074014 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 14:42:13 +0000 Parsley 1074014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the way to wear ankle pants!

The vest is so unexpected but looks so good on your slim frame. Once upon a time, Benetton was my go-to store for knits. I will have to check them out again... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dreaded-ankle-pants#post-1073901 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 12:36:50 +0000 viva 1073901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit, I think you are right that this vest would be cuter cropped... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dreaded-ankle-pants#post-1073899 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 12:30:40 +0000 Janet 1073899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that vest. I rant about ankle pants because it just seems they now dominate the marketplace, and pants that are long enough for me are hard to find anyway. (I also don't think they're the most flattering on my build) I think they look marvelous on other women, including you. Nice outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dreaded-ankle-pants#post-1073898 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 12:30:04 +0000 Anonymous 1073898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the ankle pants!

I think they have a lovely slim leg and look incredibly flattering on you. Great outfit. </p>
