I thought I would jump into SarahD8's challenge for prompts today by styling a pair of trousers. Trouble is, I got stuck on which shoes went with either of them, so I surrendered to the familiarity of my jeans.

So, inspired by Roxanna - I decided to try my trousers with the most likely shoe(s) to be worn with them and try to build an outfit from there. Adding tops are easy enough - it's the shoes that trip me up every time.

Can you all help tell me which (if any) of these shoes work with the length of these two pants? I have a horrible eye for PPL, so I am shooting for Perfect Enough Pant Length.

First, plaid cigarette leg trousers - I like them best with the yellow loafer (and flats not pictured), but do any of the boots work?

Second, cognac trousers - these have been in my holding zone for a while. Are they too short to be considered fashionably cropped? They look way too short with flats (to my eye), and they appear to flare out oddly over the boots.
