This morning I jetted up to Banana to check out some suede skinny pants for Suz since I know she can't get to a BR. Please see Suz's post earlier today to see the pics of items she liked.

My store had only a few of the charcoal grey color in stock but I found one that fit.

Loved the fabric and comfort! I sized up one size because these would have been excruciatingly tight in my proper size. They are super chic looking, a good length (for me, and I don't know if they came in different lengths). I would totally have bought a pair if the rise was higher. On me they squinched my belly fat in the wrong place. But I hope they work for Suz. They stretch, but didn't stretch out. Granted I just did a brief dressing room test run. I think they might be best for colder climes and I don't how well they breathe.

But for the moment I had them on I thought they were great. These dressing room pics are very hard to see.

I know Suz was looking at some knitwear as well, so I popped on a sweater over the suede skinnies. I actually think the pants need a longer top or tunic because they are more legging like in fit.

The BR knits were lovely, of good quality for the most, but the fiber content varied from style to style so I really think Suz would have to order them in multiple sizes and styles to get the one she wants. There are so many!
