After spending the last five days in Vegas, I arrived back to the coldest day of the year (in the realm of -45 ugh). That was a shock to the system to say the least. I had a fantastic trip, too much shopping and saw a multitude of beautiful pieces at the furniture show. It was lovely to walk around without a jacket, and in shoes with no socks.

Waiting in my mailbox for me when I arrived home was this this pair of corduroy pants. I rarely obsess over an article of clothing, but these Isabel Marant pants have been on my mind for several months. I tried to find them both in New York and Vancouver last year but my size was always out of stock. After months of searching, I finally procured a pair on Ebay, and I was inclined to wear them the same day.

I paired them with a Helmut asymmetrical t-shirt I picked up in LV, a Maje leather jacket and Fiorentini and Baker boots. In retrospect, I don't really love how they looked with the boots, I much prefer them with the short boots in the next picture. But I needed to tuck, it was super cold.

I would love your advice on hemming. There is quite a bit of scrunch, these pants are surprisingly long which is a refreshing change. I tried them with the Isabel Marant boots with a 2" heel and some flat J Crew oxfords. They are a straight leg, I'm inclined to hem them a bit. My question is how much do I hem, how much scrunch should I leave? I probably would not wear them with tall heels, at the most 3.5". Would love your thoughts on this and well as the outfit. Missed everyone at YLF and your fabulous outfit inspiration while I was away!
