Though these are not nearly the craziest pants I own, I was recently accused of wearing wild pants when I wore the café capri in foulard. Maybe it's because I outed them with the Blythe blouse in silk pebble dot and the tricolor Penelope mary janes. Husby hated the outfit (well ... maybe hate is too strong a sentiment, but he didn't like it). I pouted but insisted on wearing as is while muttering "you just don't get it" and went off to work where a male colleague asked "who dressed you today?"
Ah well.
The capri pants are a favorite and came to me via charge-send sale priced plus 30% off from a B&M in Connecticut thanks to a tip from MB on the JCA post. I can understand why they received a lot of blog love.
The fabric is 98% cotton with 2% spandex in a weight heavy enough to stay crisp looking. The material has a sensual sateen finish that's a nice surprise to the touch. The pants seem to give a longer, slimmer silhouette than the other capris I have from JC.
So what do you think about my foray into pattern mixing? The foulard with the pebble dot felt very ethnic print to me.
It was indeed a venture outside of my usual area. And I'm not sure I'll enter that territory again anytime soon.
It's OK if you
I love the print of the foulard cafe capris, but it didn't work for me :-( you look gorgeous! Love with the denim shirt! Xo
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Andrea! And I'm sorry they didn't work for you. I'm certain there will be more to come for you to love that will work. ;)
DeleteI almost bought them today for $40! Unfortunately the size 00s were too big, which was unfortunate because they were super cozy. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWow what a bargain! If the size 00 are too big, maybe the larger Crewcuts will work for you?
Deletelove both looks
ReplyDeleteThanks cca. =)
DeleteI love these pants.
ReplyDeleteyay for the crazy pants sisterhood!
DeleteI love the pants with the red shoes!
ReplyDeletethanks Tammy! I love when I have a reason to wear red shoes.
DeleteI do, I am all for mixing and you wear it well. I love the foulard print but the pant did not work for me, works great for you though.
ReplyDeleteOh too bad this print didn't work for you. I love how you mix colors and patterns.
DeleteYou look great in the foulard print. I have to say I like the second look better, for my taste, but YOU pulled them both off fabulously!!! So happy that you found them!!
ReplyDeleteThanks again, MB! And I like the second look better too. ;)
DeleteI know this is WWAAAYYY late but I just happened upon your blog searching for something else. I am glad to see the IRL pix of the foulard capri pants. They were a love-at-first-site item but I waited until I found them on sale + 30%. My hubby also was not "feeling" them and actually told me that I had on PJs for the day...I am glad that I did not let his comment deter me b/c I got many compliments that day. I am not brave enough to mix patterns but the solids tops have worked out great for me. Thanks again for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Rashawnda and welcome! I'm happy you found my blog and found the foulard capri pants on sale plus 30% off. Though I try to be more brave with colors and patterns, I actually prefer the pants with solid tops and my favorite is with a white shirt, lol.
DeleteThanks so much for coming by!
You look exactly like those J Crew models - tall and lean. People who mix patterns have vivacious personalities with a spark for invention, bringing bright colors and patterns to a drab day.
ReplyDeletenice blog i really like capri for mens Thanks for sharing.
