Deb - that's what I need! Bone coloured ankle pants to wear with my nude sandals! (Actually, it would work great and maybe I can roll those Banana Republic Cream jeans to get that effect...)
Sorry I disappeared all day -- crazy day on the work and home front. Thank you for your thoughts on these.
By the way, these are the J. Crew TOOTpicks, not the Matchsticks. The Matchsticks don't look good on me. The reason they look a little more "matchstick like" (i.e. looser than the way the Toothpick jeans look on the website) is that I sized up, and this particular fabrication is heavier weight than many of the other Toothpicks. I've tried some that were made of that soft light stretchy material -- I sent them right back. I don't care for it.
I can see that they might look full length. But they actually hit just at the bottom of my ankle bone. Which might be a little bit longer than Angie's recommendation, but is still not exactly full length. Or maybe it is full length without scrunch? They do appear to scrunch here, partly because of the looseness in the leg and partly because the bootie sort of forces them up into that position. But with other shoes they just come down and cover the ankle bone - no scrunch.
Nicole, I think they are meant to be ankle bone length. They actually came with a tag that said "ankle" when I bought them (although maybe mine are different?). Mine probably have a 28 inch inseam. That's a bit too short for me but not a lot too short for me, as you can see.
gryffin, I'll be happy to model all Angie's suggestions if someone will sponsor me a set of all the items in each Polyvore!! Wouldn't that be fab?
