Last week I picked up a pair of Madewell Corduroy wide leg crops in a colour called Egyptian Gold (a cross between mustard and caramel?) This weekend I laid out some outfit combinations. https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-leg-crops

Today I did a quick outfit creation session try-on. (Pic #3 is button down styled 2 different ways.) What do you think? Any standouts? Styling suggestions?

Wow I love these on you! The color is great with your hair. Love them with the denim jacket and shirt especially but I also like them dressed up a little with the leopard flats.

I love that color with black, especially the black top with gold, which picks up/ echoes the warmth of the pants.

WOW! All of these are really fab, Carla! I have no styling input as you have done an amazing job! I am so jealous of your high-functioning wardrobe! You are on a roll!

1 and 3 tied -- but they all look super. Great piece for you!

KILLER all round. It all works really well!

How about cold ankles?

#1, 2 and 6 are my faves.

Ok - I have to admit I didn't like these when you first showed them. And now I'm not sure why. They look FABULOUS on you, and I like all renditions here. I think the only missing option is a dressier one, with , say, a silk blouse and blazer/bomber or cashmere sweater and dressier boots. I can see a floral print silky top looking really great with these cords.

Love #6

Angie mentioned cold ankles. I'd love to see #6 with a black high shaft bootie.

nice! i really like most of these...the only i don't love...#3 love it tied, not as much worn out, have you tried semi tuck? # 6, for some reason, i'm not loving the lace top...

Fab! Predictably 1&4 are my favorites (navy for the win) but these all look great. Excellent outfit creation session!

Love them with black especially. It brings out the *gold* in them.

@Angie - high shaft booties are on my shopping list!

@kkards - do you mean the dark floral turtleneck? No lace in these outfits.

Well done! You look like a woman that knows her style, stays true to her authentic style, while at the same time, adapting new and interesting trends. IF I saw you in person, I would immediately be intrigued by such a woman.

They are all fab! Wow, these pants look fantastic on you, Carla, and they go with so many things. I love #6 especially, dressing them up a little bit. And I really like the embroidered jacket in 5 with them, too.

Wow! Didn't know gold cords could be so versatile! 1, 4, 5, & 6 are my faves. Great styling session!

They look very beautiful on you! The colour is sensational and so versatile. All the styling options here are very good - what a great job!
I love the pants particularly with black, 4, 5 and 6 are my standout favourites.

These are terrific! I like one and all. But yes!! You need some higher shaft boots. Otherwise you will FREEZE.

These are all fabulous but #6 (olive jacket) is my favourite. High shaft booties would be great.

YAY. Onward to high shaft booties.

2, 5 and 6 are my favorites! That's such a versatile color- would be nice with teal or forest green too!

Carla, my interest in fashion has been on the wane lately, but I have to tell you how much I enjoy your posts. It’s obvious you are really enjoying yourself!

#6 and all the others. I do like them with tucked tops but perhaps I am living vicariously through you. Maybe a belt?

Lovely combinations: especially like second photo with graphic t-shirt and cool green/sage jacket in the last one with black print top ( would it qualify as warm colors - cold colors combination like in Angie' post last month? ).

Joy

I like all these outfits , but 1&2 stand out for me as very Carla. The pants look velvety in the photos. Maybe adding a blue or navy velvet jacket or velvet top would be fun. I love the color on you.

What a fun outfit creation session - and they all work!

Erin

Great styling. 2, 4, 6 & 7 are my favorites. In photo 3, I prefer the look with the denim shirt tied at the waist.

Runclara--ah, yes i see now when i look closer that what i thought was a lace pattern is a floral pattern.
