WIW - wfh, cold spring, balloon pants, zebra pants, camo pants

Last couple days of WIWs.

I have such a hard time with wide leg pants, due to being short. This balloon style is one of the first that ever appealed to me and I’m presently wearing the iteration with the green sweater (too chilly for the blouse today). And I swear, it looks good in person and my daughter just complimented me on the outfit - but it looks resolutely like a balloon all over in the pics.

Well, you don't look short. I really like those on you and while I often counsel, don't listen one's daughter, your's is spot on this time.

Oh, and think about these - as a fellow short person, I said never, but I now own several versions of Old Navy's "slim" wide legs and find them remarkably OK. lisa p just bought an olive pair of the current version (rust pair) and gave a big thumbs up.

I think they look fabulous. Perhaps your eye just hasn't adjusted 100%. I think we get used to seeing ourselves in certain silhouettes and that can affect how we see ourselves in anything different. Gorgeous WIW, as usua!

You work from home in fabulous style!

I LOVE #2 and #3. My faves! Those tops and the white jeans are KILLER.

I prefer you in the wider cut pants, actually. You do not come across as short at all.

My favorite is 4 cause the pretty blouse but you definitely don't look short!

I think they look great. Volume can be hard to capture in a photo and I find outfits look better in reality than pictured.

I love the green sweater too - gorgeous pistachio colour.

Not balloony or short at all! Cute WFH’s. I tried the Nili Lotan full- length military pants because I live zip hems but have decided they are too low-rise for long- waisted me. These look good on you though.

I'm with Angie - even thought I'd die to have a pair of those Nili Lotan pants. I think you can wear this green sweater/balloon pant look quite well because of your frame and body type....it's current and interesting looking!

I have balloon jeans too and I also think they look better in person than when photographed. And they are so comfortable! Even my husband (who is a man of few words when it comes to my fashion choices) says they are “cool”.

I’m going to be a little more expansive and say you look very cool indeed

These outfits all look great to me. The white jeans outfits are fantastic. And you definitely give tall vibes - I expected you to be at least several inches taller than me at 5'3"!

I love the white pant outfits. They don't look like balloons!. I think the roomy cut works well with the tops you've shown here. The other outfits are also super cute--I really like a good cardigan look!
