When: April 16 // Weather: springy, probably // Real life: work
It makes me chuckle when I read a blogger’s glowing review of the world’s most wonderful, flattering, fabulous pants/jeans, because what’s perfect for some bodies will be horrendous on others, and vice versa.
So I’m not going to tell you I found the best pants ever, because inevitably, someone will get the same pants based on my advice and decide they’re the worst pants ever. But I will say that I freaking love these Everlane pants and I already ordered them in another color. If your hips are wide relative to your waist (I have about a 12″ difference) and it’s more in the width, not so much a big booty, these are worth a try if you want non-denim casual pants. They run big, but I got my usual size because I didn’t want them to be tight. (I’m also wearing the short length, and I’m 5’3″ for reference.)
While we’re on the subject, I just want to remind you ladies that if pants don’t look good on you, there’s something wrong with the pants, not your body. I mean, you’re smart – I know you know this. But a reminder never hurts.
Pants // Shirt // Shoes // Bag // Belt // similar Earrings // similar Sunglasses
That’s actually a very welcome and timely reminder for me because, despite having given up the trousers’ war a long time ago, every now and then I lapse and recommence the quest of trying to find a pair that actually fits. I draw the line at jeans, however.
As an aside (and a compliment), I always thought from your photos that you were taller – at least 5′ 7″. I’m only 5′ and am never likely to experience that illusion!
