Marianne: Adrien Pants.


Gratuitous Lulu outfit picture? Done. Moving on...

When I bought these pants, I assumed I would only wear them tucked into boots. After all, they were cropped on me, and I don't pull off cropped pants like my cohort does. Being tall, they just make me feel out of proportion and dumb.
OR DO THEY? I don't know, I felt pretty cute in these! They are such a fine wale corduroy that they almost look like velvet, which makes them feel a tiny bit fancy.
I'm also kind of digging this olive green/silver/black/white color palette, which is also not in my sartorial wheelhouse. New things! Look at me. This buys me at least a week of schlumping around wearing leggings and boots and sweaters, right?
Try anything new lately?

    Very cute! But I don't understand why you think you can't pull off cropped? YOU ARE TALL.

    Page, that is the weirdest thing ever. How did it happen??

    I know I am tall, so I had a dark decade before premium denim when all pants were too short. So I feel awkward in cropped pants.

    Yeah, taller women are the ones who CAN pull off the cropped look! You look great!

    I still love those shoes like nobody's business, so I am pro any outfit that highlights them.

    LULU!! I love her.

    You look fantastic. I think the cropped pants look is adorable on tall women and it looks great on you. I also really like the combo of colors in this outfit.

    I think you are a great height for this--not tall enough to make them look weird at all. I'm about 2" taller than you and I still wear cropped pants, because I like 'em and who cares?
