I mean, honestly, they are not all that when you first see them. They are capri pants that zip up the back (gag- 1990's central) and then are baggy around the thighs and tight around the leg. However, they aren't baggy enough around the leg for you to feel chic or edgy or anything in between. To be honest, you feel like you're in an MC Hammer video, wondering how come you can't dance like Cameron Diaz in the Charlie's Angels sequel. Hammer Time!
But if you hike the pants up around your calf (and you have to some calf to hike them up on, so this is where God was generous with me, I guess) - you will feel a semi-cool vibe starting. & I have to say, if you start wearing the rest of your Crew pieces, you find yourself in this alternate universe, where Downtown Kid-Meets-Prepster. & it's L♥ve, peeps. Or atleast I thought so this morning when I was getting dressed. 
The Maya was worn... again. It offset everything in rainy day perfection.
Jewelry and shoes were all J.Crew.
Those are veeeery cute. Thanks for the fit info. I'll consider that when I finally receive mine this month. Waitlist...
ReplyDeleteThanks! Post pics when you get them. Would love to see / hear what you think!
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny post! J. Crew IS like an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE isn't it??? smile I looked at those pants and was wondering if I liked them or not--I could never get a solid visual of wearing them...so I never got them. Your pics though are making that visual come to life a little for me cuz I like them ALOT on you! GREAT OUTFIT~LUVE your LOOK TODAY! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Yogagirl, Thanks for posting! Glad this was helpful!
ReplyDeleteOooh...I think those are VERY cute! I heart them on you - and actually, you are rocking that entire outfit. WTG!
ReplyDeleteI really like those pants! I remember your post when you first ordered them lol. I felt the same way about the silk linen slouchy pants but they are now my favorite thing to wear :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting, Michelle! I like them much better scrunched up around the calf and will probably wear them more now that I know the secret. But I still sort of feel like I should be wearing equestrian boots and searching the stables for my horse. But this was the look I was after so Im sure I'll love it soon enough.
ReplyDeleteTippy! Thanks for posting! I'll definitely get more wear out of them now. Honking about styling them for a night out on the town...
ReplyDeleteHonking??? I was trying to type "thinking.". What a weirdo!
ReplyDeleteI am very interested in how you buttoned your cardigan, I came across your post while searching for a review on the curator pants.
