I wore them yesterday morning to go to the post office (Xmas cards, anyone else is this late?). I wore them with my selvedge chambray shirt and cashmere shawl cardigan in navy:
The belt is new and is currently sold in the stores. I usually wait for belts to go on sale but this one is NAVY. I don't remember the last time that I saw a navy belt and numerous times I thought that I could really use one, so I bought it with the 30% off (it is $39.50 FP). If you need a navy belt I highly reccomend it (let me know if you need the style number). I took a S in this belt and the fit is perfect to wear with pants.
I more or less lounged in my lounge clothes for the rest of the day and wore the pants again yesterday night to have dinner with husband and friends at an upscale restaurant in the neighborhood. Husband was late from work and met us directly at the restaurant, so I took advantage of the fact that he couldn't see me getting ready and say a thing about my outfit and showed up like this:
The cami (that you can't see well in the pic) is the Lisette from last year. I love this cami, the lace detail is so pretty and delicate. The belt was called crystalline belt, also from last year and you know the jacket. I liked this outfit a lot and husband didn't comment on the pants or jacket (good thing, as you know). Also people at the restaurant were dressed to the nines, as I haven't seen in a long time so I felt comfortable, if a bit extravagant.
All in all the Cafe trousers are very versatile (and again the wool feels wonderful against the skin, it isn't itchy at all). You can get them now in store in this color for $89.99 less 30% off (as of two weeks ago, so now even less probably).
Do you dress in black and red for the holidays?
I dressed in red and GREEN for a recent Christmas outing and did not feel self-conscious at all -- I am really starting to not care about what other people think about my outfits, and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, yikes. You look so great in those red trousers!! I have the Cafe Capri version of those, but I haven't worn them yet, maybe at xmas dinner ;-) Hope you have a wonderful Christmas, Ema!
ReplyDeleteI agree those trousers look terrific on you!
ReplyDeleteA navy belt would be a great thing to own, I'm going to be looking out for that one.
Wonderful outfits Ema!
Thanks for the day-to-night styling idea. I wouldn't have thought of the cafes working for night, but I absolutely love your outfit.
ReplyDeleteOff to see what's left in my size.
I love both outfits. I tried those pants back when they came out and although I loved the fit and the color, I just felt so unselfconscious bc of the lack of lining. I got the purple hudson's and I love them!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
Your previous posting spurred me to go to the store to try them on and they fit beautifully (unlike almost all their other pants as I have hips and a bum). I waited and waited until they finally went on sale+30% so in the end I paid $73 CDN. Wish I could find them in the dark green color too.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfits - those red trousers look amazing on you.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family!
