Nice, Rachy! I'm loving your pine green. I hope the pants work out, because they look great.

Re. the sweater: It's the Trouvé Corrugated High/Low Sweater from Nordstrom. (They seem to be out of the green online...)

Re. the pants: I really hope it's not the pants. I wonder if there *is* something a tailor could do. They pretty much fit perfect (Ornella, that's brilliant advice to wait on hemming; seriously lesson learned) - it's the stiffness of waistbands that I think does me in. They don't bend with me and just cut in. Is it possible to soften-up just the waistband?

Re. the second skirt: I got the black and white horizontal stripe. Angie warned the material was different and it is. It falls just as nicely, but it does sort of come as a shock, lol.

Re. the shoes: They're a very old pair of sadly-out-of-business Giraudon platforms. I mention them because they've only lasted this long because I don't wear them often because they're hard to walk far in because, as Angie has recently explained, the soles don't bend. Which was *like* a total revelation.

Re. my ever-present *sale tag*: Ya, it's my security badge. I swear, I'm not that hip hop. I do cut my tags

I so hope the pants will end up working for you because the cut is amazing through the thigh and onto the foot. Like 10 million bucks. And striped! I voted for the choice on the dot VC tube skirt so I'm glad you got that one, cant wait to see the b&W stripe.

Fab outfits! The skirt looks like the perfect piece to dress up or down. But my boho loving self really likes the jeans outfit. The hemline on the sweater is great for showing off with the shirt layered underneath. And your legs look miles long in those jeans. Lovely!
