OT- did you live in Boston? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-368653 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 21:29:20 +0000 Aida 368653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How'd these end up working out for you, Una? Did the alterations go well and have you been wearing them if so? I still really love these pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-368396 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 11:39:52 +0000 Debora 368396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like these and I love the color! Try Angie's suggestion with a lower contrast belt. This is a fab look for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-368391 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 11:31:04 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 368391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like them but think a belt that is less contrast would look better as well. I think the looser leg is how they are supposed to look so they sort of poof on the legs a bit (again at a loss for the right word). I like the pic with the tie belt. I had a pair of pants like this in black suede many years ago when I was very slim and wore them to death. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322988 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 15:45:04 +0000 catgirl 322988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, I did post a picture with heels - I think I need to have them hemmed and then roll them up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322891 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 08:12:37 +0000 rute 322891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those trousers but the fit is so hard!!!<br /> Those trousers need heels just like the link Aida showed. Can you roll-up the hem and take a photo with heels? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322875 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 05:39:48 +0000 Aida 322875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I like these pants in theory as well and I think the alterations will help a lot! I'm a bit tired and can't offer you better advice, but I wanted to give you this link to Elaine Hearn's pants which are similar for some fit inspiration:<br /> <a href="http://www.clothedmuch.com/search/label/Anthro%20pants" rel="nofollow">http://www.clothedmuch.com/sea.....ro%20pants</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322866 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 04:44:37 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 322866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm torn. I think I would like to see a more exaggerated paper-bag effect at the top. Maybe a higher waist too. I like the idea and color but it's not quite there for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322861 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 04:36:53 +0000 Angie 322861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the concept! Would prefer to see a low contrast belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322825 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:51:14 +0000 Heather 322825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, haha--today was one of *those* days. ;)</p> <p>Thanks for looking forward to my WIW or "oh no she didn't" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322822 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:46:16 +0000 catgirl 322822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang, girl, where's the photo? You have such a great touch with your outfits - I really look forward to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322819 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:38:47 +0000 Heather 322819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha! Una, I TOTALLY thought of YOU again today as I wore a super cute pair of charcoal gray windowpane Anthro FEMMEWEAR ankle trousers! LOL. NIIIIIIICE.</p> <p>Marley, at least you will know EXACTLY what you are aiming for after SYC, right?! I think that is brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322814 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:31:22 +0000 Marley 322814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too! I have a feeling that when I stop SYC the floodgates will open - and it won't be pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322813 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:31:10 +0000 catgirl 322813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heather, you're one of the reasons I got these - I can totally see you rocking them with your femmenswear vibe (I just made that word up for you!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322809 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:28:30 +0000 Heather 322809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*curses*</p> <p>Oh, Una! You just made me want a pair of these, too! I really like them and think with alteration they will be perfect on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322807 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:26:51 +0000 catgirl 322807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, new photo added - different belt, different shoes, cuffed under instead of rolled. Better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322806 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:24:38 +0000 Marley 322806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them better with them pulled up a bit higher (like 2nd pics) - but in addition to hemming them, I think they need to be altered through the legs (I can see what Mellllls is saying about needing be more fitted through the knees.) Can the legs be taken in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322803 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:19:04 +0000 catgirl 322803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could be right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322800 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:16:54 +0000 Mellllls 322800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i don't think they're fitted enough through the knee though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322798 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:15:42 +0000 catgirl 322798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they will not be so baggy when they are altered - right now they are bunching up over my ankle boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322796 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:14:44 +0000 catgirl 322796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, for you - anything! Here's pulled up a bit, and without the belt. A wider belt might help too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322793 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:13:43 +0000 Marley 322793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - now that I've seen the stock photo - I'd think you'd want to alter them so that they taper more at the ankle? Were you thinking you would do that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322788 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:10:51 +0000 Mellllls 322788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>okay, in the stock photo, they are kind of baggy at the top but then taper down the leg. yours seem baggy all over to me...:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322785 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:08:28 +0000 Marley 322785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those pants! Can you possilbly pull the waist up just a "tich" more? I'd just like to see what they look like that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322784 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:07:57 +0000 catgirl 322784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, forgot the link:</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopbop.com/paperbag-trouser-madewell/vp/v=1/845524441886712.htm?fm=search-viewall-shopbysize#reviewsArea" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/paperba.....eviewsArea</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322781 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:05:13 +0000 Mellllls 322781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>honestly, i don't know i just don't know how they are supposed to look. they look really big on top, but is that how they are supposed to be? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paper-bag-trousers#post-322778 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:02:22 +0000 catgirl 322778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've back in my groove of making my own life difficult... ;)</p> <p>I had my eye on these Madewell pants forever and they finally went on sale enough to snag them. I realize I have to tuck with these, but do they work? Am I too thick in the midsection for this style? I have rolled them up here, as I would have to hem them to look like the model. They are really comfy but of course, a tough silhouette to pull off. Or are they? </p>
