I came home to 3 boxes today! JCrew Maddie pants in navy arrived as well as another pair of white loafers by Drew. So here are the pants and also Drew loafers compared with Walking Cradles loafers I showed you earlier.

First - the loafers. They are slightly different color, more like blushy cream rather than pearly bone like WC but both colors are lovely shades of white. I like the horse bit detail and the black block heel on Drew loafers but concerned that the toe shape is rounder and less elongated than WC toe. Both are comfy so it is a matter of style. Which pair do you prefer for me?

Now the pants. This is size 10 and I think it is the right one. In any case I cannot go lower because then the calves would be too tight - they are already snug. The length is on the border of being short - is it OK?
Can you see enough to assess the fit - unfortunately dark color does not photograph well.
I also have a purple pair on its way to m. They said backordered until end of February but then shipped them over the weekend Maybe the fit in navy will photograph better?
These pants feel very nice on and the fabric is lovely. They are the most fitted pants on my legs I have (leggings and ponte pants excluded) Do they give me an ice cone look when worn with the loafers?

Thank you for your help - please help me decide and not to make shopping mistakes!

ETA: I have decided to return the Maddie pants - as much as it breaks my heart. I just do not like the fit of them on my calves and they tend to bunch on the knees because of this. I have compared them to my black Express cigarette pants which are just 1.5 cm wider in the calf area and it makes all the difference to me.

I still need to receive the purple pants but most likely they will go back too unless for some reason they are wider cut on the calves. Oh well - at least I got free shipping and return on this order so not a big loss.

I feel better now when my decision is made - thanks again for your help!
