Dianthus - check out these pants

Transcona Shannon

Don't these look almost exactly the same as the slouchy cropped trousers you bought?

Yes, they are quite similar but the ones I got have wide pleats on the waistband. I am hoping it will be warm enough to wear them soon. I will have to figure out shoes though.

I LOVE those wide pleats on yours - that's what makes them special. I hope our weather changes so we can get to proper spring dressing!

OK gals, spill it out where you were shopping and finding these slouchy pants in Canada! I have been looking for something to try on for quite a while without success...
Pretty please!!:-)

We both bought our slouchies at the Bay. I can't remember the brand that Shannon's are but I recognized it when I saw it and mine are Anne Klein. I also tried on a pair at Jacob that were almost winners but the grey is more me.

The Bay? Oh, I have to check it out today. I think Shannon mentioned they being Anne Klein as well.
I will check Jacob too but their bottoms usually don't fit me well
Thanks for the information!
ETA: are these the ones:

Thanks Sveta. I had looked for them once and didn't find them on the Bay site. The ones I got have a tie belt. I found they looked best if I either tied it off to one side or in a knot and tucked the ends into the belt loops.

I am going to shop today and see if I can find a white blazer. I was thinking the grey pants, a fitted top in either navy or a bright and the fitted white blazer.

Good luck. Let us know if you find anything.

I will but I don't have much hope. Anything I tried on so far was not good. I have enough of short and cropped blazers (easy for me to fit) but pants is another story...
I agree, The Bay website is abysmal and does not show what they have in the store.

Sveta, I am quite sure the pants Shannon got also came in a lighter color. It wasn't soul sucking beige but a nice soft putty color if I remember correctly. The ones at Jacob were a medium coral/pink. It was really pretty but I was in between sizes.

Quite right Dianthus - the ones I got also came in a lighter colour - almost a gold tone, as opposed to the bronze tone of mine.

OK, spent a crazy hour in The Bay today (long lineups to the fitting room!)
I tried on all slouchy trousers could find there - 4 different models. Sahnnon's bronze ones and what I think is dianthus's grey ones had pleats which were sitting awkward on me and also they were at least 2.5 inches above my ankles. In one charcoal pair the calves were too tight and also they were too short.
However the black pair looked promising and I took it home to play with and also bring it to your judgment so stay tuned!

Looking forward to seeing these on you Sveta. I did have to chuckle to myself about the pants being 2.5 inches above your ankle and here I am, having to shorten the pants (lol)!

We had lineups at the fitting rooms too the day we went.

Shannon, this is exactly what I was thinking looking into the mirror: and to think how long they were on Shannon!:-)
