A do or don't???

Hey Dolls,


I am a professional that has to wear business casual attire and quite frankly, I am sick of wearing black pants everyday!!!! Brown and grey don't excite me either! I've been in search of different colored pants to wear instead of black, grey, brown and navy. So....one day I was perusing through Ashley Stewart, and I saw a pair of burnt orangey slacks. Hhhmmm, I thought, these definitely are not boring! So I purchased them and had them for about a month before I decided to wear them today. I paired them with a white button down and threw on my mustard scarf. When I put the outfit on, I immediately decided that I did not like the pants! The color made me want to vomit!!! LOL! But, I had woken up late, so I didn't have time to change. All morning I was lamenting over my epic fail! I sent a picture message to a couple friends (which I have also shared with you) to get their take. A couple said they weren't bad, but I'm not convinced. I think part of the problem is the way I put it together. On lunch, I went to Ashley Stewart and tried on a dark denim blazer. Once I put it on with my outfit, I decided that the orange pants are workable. I will post a pic with the blazer later. So what do you all think? Are the pants a do or a don't?
TTFN!
Love, PREENcess


Here's a closeup so you can really see the color.








The whole fit....sorry about the ladies room pic, it's the only mirror I had!








****Update******


Okay, so here are pics of the outfit with the blazer. I like the pants with the dark denim. I think before I just had too much brightness going on!




Stay tuned, a makeup look is coming up!

  2. I like! The bathroom pic makes them look much darker which is still cute. That was a good idea with the closeup. You can really see the color.
