I am posting up a storm because I have a backlog of questions after being super busy with life for the past weeks. This one is more urgent because I want to return these tomorrow if they get the thumbs down.

I ordered these when I bought the subtle bling pants I posted my fix about earlier today. I am not sure I need two pairs of dressy pants, and after fixing the droopy buttons, I'm def keeping the black ones. But I love the navy burgundy color combo, and a 5'2" person can't easily walk away from vertical stripes. They come in two fits, Julie (I'm wearing) and Marisa - not sure what the difference is, maybe Marisa is curvier? They weren't terribly expensive (Oh, and all on a 40-50% off sale today). I see both pairs as party, nice dinner in the city pants.

My concerns -
1) How is the fit/flattery?
2) I am short waisted and thus would not tuck (#3 is so you can see the waistband detail). Are the buttons too lost with a high hip top?
3) What other tops might look good?
4) Will they look dated in a year? Would they be OK if the buttons were removed down the road.

The color and striping is more noticeable IRL. Sorry about the poor light - with the time change I'm not home early enough to take natural light pics.


Thanks for all the help!
