I never thought I would experiment with wide leg ankle pants, but these went on sale for a good price and I thought I should just give it a try.  Of course, I had to attempt this look in a bright pink color.  Why not, if I am doing this, might as well do it in a big way.    I think I always steered away from the idea of this because I thought my petite height wouldn’t let me pull this off.  I think it worked out and am glad I was brave enough to go for it. 

In the interest of total honesty between you my readers and myself, I have a confession to make.  These pants fit better before I lost over 20lbs and in fact are I have over 2 inches of spare room in the waist.  I love them and just really wanted a chance to photograph them before I have to put them aside.  Don’t know if my tailor can work magic to alter these when I get to my goal weight, but it doesn’t hurt to ask….

The good news is that when these pants went on an even lower clearance price I snatched them up in my goal weight size in a orange/coral color!

I am not sure what it is about sitting poses, but I really seem to like them.    Can you believe we were at 84 degrees with 94% humidity that made it feel really muggy yesterday?   I am so craving crisp fall weather.  We’ve had a few glimpses, but when will it be here to stay?
