TAKEN Burnt orange Sloans, size 2

Suz

Free to a happy home, my winter wild card. Worn indoors twice -- once for marathon try-on session and once for a work-at-home day. They're just not "me" and I can't deny it. No use letting them hang there unworn.

Banana Republic, size 2, ankle length (supposedly).

I'd love to give them a try Suz - although I'm not sure that I could make them work either! But it would be a good challenge for me - and if they don't work, I'll just post them here for another Fabber to take them on!

Oops, we were posting at the same time! Wasn't trying to sweeten my offer at Marley's expense, really! LOL!

Ha! So funny. Well, Mary, you were first, so you get first dibs, but you have to send them to Marley to try if you decide they are not for you! Sound okay?

I think I still have your street address, but just in case, can you please PM me? Thank you! No need for postage by the way. It won't be a ton. And just so you know I might not get them in the mail until mid-week next week.

So interesting...after seeing these pants on you, Suz, I went to my local BR to check them out. They had them on deep discount, just like you said--I think they were only $18, and I might even have been able to get another 50% off, depending on whether the in-store promo that day applied to the pants. But I tried them on, and I just didn't like them, especially the fabric and the way they almost flared out at the ankle (I couldn't get the misses' length, because the smallest size in misses' is a size too big for me). I said to myself, "Well, I guess Suz enjoys them, and they look great on her, but these just aren't for me." And I was proud of myself that I didn't cave simply because they were cheap (they fit OK; it was the style and fabric that I didn't like). So it is too funny to find out that you are not continuing on with them!

That's interesting, Gigi! The misses size doesn't flare out at the bottom -- or at least I don't think it does. It tapers in towards the ankle. I think their Hampton fit pants do flare out a bit.

But your comments about the fabric also interest me. I tried some Sloans about a year ago (I think they were a tan colour) and sent them back because I didn't like the fabric. So I had pretty much sworn off of them. I only tried them again because I wanted to experiment with the colour.

Strangely, I quite liked the fabric this time around. I don't know if the fit on this particular pair of pants was a bit better for me, or what, but it felt okay.

You showed better sense than I did, anyway! I should have known they wouldn't really work for me.

It's funny- you look really good in them but I get where they "just aren't me (you)". I feel the same way about some things that people say look good but I just am not that comfortable in.
