While I'd like to match them to the mossy green in the plaid, I don't have a lick of that colour in my fall/winter wardrobe, so it's likely I'll move these to my spring/summer closet instead.

And a poly-blend back with leather around the zipper.
I layered a pink sleeveless shirt under it for warmth and to make the pink pants feel less lonely.
I loved the oversized fit of the trousers, and those nice large pockets.
I stapled the front and back of the cuffs to the pant-leg so that they weren't so floppy. Yeah, I could stitch them, but realistically? Maybe in a few months?

I decorated the Reception area at work today.
Oh, those trousers! I knew when you showed us them in your shopping treasures that not only would they look good on you, but that I was going to love what you did with them. Done and done! Significantly super swell slacks, Sheila! (And can’t wait to see them with mossy green!) readerrita
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Rita! I'm excited to style them up with a t-shirt and I have a great spring/summer Adidas bomber that will look amazing with them, I think.
DeleteSheer comfort, perhaps one of the best qualities of any outfit! Spiffy looking with room to move and to sit without losing circulation at the crease between torso and legs; any pants like that are perfect! I like the office decorations you set up, especially the architectural cutout. Are there (or will there be) edible treats in the cauldron?
ReplyDeleteCheers, Laurie
Yup, there is no reason not to be comfortable in one's clothes! Yes, lots of room, and they were delightfully swooshy to walk in (and not a tripping hazard either).
DeleteNot sure about treats (dangerous for me!) - I won't be in the office on Hallowe'en itself.
The trousers have delivered! Super cool outfit!
ReplyDeleteLoving the Halloween decs too!
Thank you, Claire!
Deletethat is a cute but also sophisticated Halloween decor for the workplace!
