I think they are great colours on you, too, Karie -- hint hint. Not that I'm enabling or anything...

You know, I had some green pants just that silhouette in the late 90s, thrifted. Some black ones later. They look great with booties, for sure.

I really love that plaid shirt and the maroon/red juxtaposition you get with the pants. I admire your ability to save a pair of pants for another time in the closet. If I had them, I'd probably keep wearing them, forgetting that's not the look I'm going for right now.

I love an item that dresses up or down, and just seamlessly fits into your closet. These are great

Wow, great outfit! Those pants are gorgeous, I love velvet, so cozy in cold weather and looks just a bit special. Nice mix and match items.

SPECTACULAR.

These pants were made for you, Suz! Just stunning and excellent fit! I absolutely love the entire outfit, the mix of plaid and stripes is divine!

These are fantastic!

I love these pants - and boots on you! So vibrant and with some soft edge that really suits your (I think) flamboyant gamine style.

I put some slim fit pants in storage too - I suspect in a couple of years they will be just the thing!!

Rock star microphone drop !!

Late to this but you look smashing in this outfit, and knowing how important footwear is to your lifestyle I'm thrilled that you found such a great pair of boots...times two!
