WiW: Fab Lime Pants!

One of my favourite colours :)

New linen-lyocell-cotton blend casual pants from Zara. Feel sueded. Gorgeous fabric, and I'm impressed! Summery and full length. You might need to size up. They are lower in the rise, which felt off at first - but I got over it. LOVE! They crease in that linen-cotton way,  so you've been warned. 

Wearing them now with old COS polo sweater. A fortuitous perfect match! And new NAS loafers and belt. Old Furla.

WFH, errands, and the usual doggie walking today. Plus lots of visits to remodel construction site two floors up. 

Bad pics in the rental unit. Sorry! Hopefully moving back into remodeled loft by Christmas. Can't wait...

    How cute!!!!! I saw that fabric blend at Nordstrom and thought it was linen/silk until I looked at the tag. 

    Your pants remind me A LITTLE of a pair of velveteen, elephant leg pants I got for Christmas when I was 9. I wore them with a cream, cable sweater vest and matching lime blouse that had huge bishop sleeves. I might have worn white go go boots! (Yep, I'm older than I look!)

    Fantastic look! I love how you wear bright colors-- it's so playful and happy.

  • nuancedream replied 3 weeks ago

    OMG! I need those pants stat!!

  • pirouette replied 3 weeks ago

    The colour of your jeans and top is beautiful on you Angie and your hair just keeps getting better and better.

  • Angie replied 3 weeks ago

    Thanks, everyone! 

    Dana, it's gorgeous Summer fabric! Hope it holds well in the wash. Your childhood outfit sounds fab :)

    Jenny and Pirouette, appreciate the kind words, and hair love!

    Nuancedream, guess that means you like the pants ;)

  • Irina replied 3 weeks ago

    Fresh!
    Are you growing out your hair, Angie? This is the longest length I’ve seen on you. 

  • Angie replied 3 weeks ago

    Irina,  yes, I'm growing my hair till the end of the year. Shoulder length is the goal. I haven't had hair this long in 23 years!

  • Lisa replied 3 weeks ago

    Now those are some awesome pants! And what a perfect match with the polo sweater. (I adore polos, high five to team polo!) The cream accessories are the perfect pairing with this happy lime color. This outfit makes me smile. I'm also noticing your lovely hair Angie, it looks pretty close in length to mine. We're hair twins (or close to it anyway). This is definitely the longest length I recall seeing on you and it's very pretty. You're looking lovely as always Angie!

    Fun!

  • JAileen replied 3 weeks ago

    You look absolutely fantastic!  I love the color on you.

  • Dee replied 3 weeks ago

    Haha, here I am struggling to wear a white top because it feels too bright for me and here you are looking wonderful in such a happy bright colour combo

  • Ginkgo replied 3 weeks ago

    Oh, wow!! I love this color on you! Definitely happy and energetic!

  • LJP replied 3 weeks ago

    Great pants on you ! And I too couldn’t help but notice how long your hair is ! The pant fabric sounds interesting - I’ll be in Zara next week and will see if they are still in stock . I don’t want lime pants ( lol) but I’m so curious about the fibre mix .

  • Angie replied 3 weeks ago

    Lisa, thanks for your always gracious and kind words! Appreciate the hair love, (and I think your hair is longer, but twinsies nonetheless). POLOS all the way! We should stock up while they're having their fashion moment :)

    Carla, I love this colour green! 

    JAileen, I'm blushing. Sam and Jo have colours to match :)

    Dee, horses for courses - always! Wear what makes YOU feel good, and thanks for the kind words.

    Gingko, lovely to see you chime in! I'm green with energy ;) 

    LJP, I've worn the pants all day, and the fabric is awesome! Like a sueded silk - to Dana's point. Casually dressy, and very comfy. Hope this fabric comes in more items, and holds up well in the wash. And cheap as chips. 

  • Suz replied 3 weeks ago

    What an incredible match! It looks like they were made for each other! A "suit" -- and not only that, you match the shrubbery!  :) 

    The fabric sounds intriguing, too! 

    Your hair is looking great, too. 

  • Suz replied 3 weeks ago

    Also, I note the mid-rise description. Rises are going to be more variable, I predict! Which is great -- more options for us all. 

  • Sal replied 3 weeks ago

    Great pants for you!  A total winner.

  • Jaime replied 3 weeks ago

    Oh wow! The lower waist and your longer hair (it is really getting long now!) make such a difference to your look! But the classic Angie acid green reminds me of the backdrop of YLF when I first discovered it. Gorgeous!

  • aloha emily replied 3 weeks ago

    ANGIE!! I love this SO MUCH!!! You look amazing. The outfit is gorgeous- seeing you out and about in these cheerful colors that flatter you perfectly would make my day!! I bet lots of people get a little dopamine boost when you cross their paths!!!

  • Karie replied 3 weeks ago

    Such a happy, bright color! You look gorgeous.

  • Angie replied 3 weeks ago

    Thanks sweet, Sal and Karie.I think you bat for Team Lime Green too :) 

    Suz, go Team Matchy-Matchy! Like you, I love a set. And yes, all rise lengths are coming through. Wooohoooo! At some point, trends will be irrelevant. Thanks for the hair love and kind words :)

    Jaime, thank you for the compliments! It's my green and good memory! 

    Aloha Emily, such joyful and generous words! Thanks so much! I'm smiling :)

    I really like your longer hair, you look so young!
    I am curious about this pants, I had same colour and shape pants about 20 years ago and I wore them to death. Only difference was fabric, they were baby cords.
    I am little worried about their fabric, couple of years ago I bought lyocell pants from Zara and they didn’t survive first wash. Fortunately they accepted return but I didn’t dare to get anything lyocell since. But if memory serves me right, they were 100% lyocell so hopefully this fabric mix will make difference.

  • Star replied 3 weeks ago

    I also think your longer hair is so good, more playful.  You do look incredible in this colour Angie, I can see why it is a favourite.  The pants and top are such a fab match, like you said.  YLF!

  • Brooklyn replied 2 weeks ago

    Very fabulous. Very you!

    I like the Zara styling too with the soft pink top. It looks similar to the colour of your specs. Is that a colour you would wear?

  • RobinF replied 2 weeks ago

    Cute outfit! Those pants are beautiful and I love the sweater too. Hair is looking fab!

  • Angie replied 2 weeks ago

    Anchie, thankfully these are not 100% lyocell! That reminds me of 100% viscose, which I tend to avoid. My fingers are crossed for this fabric. Appreciate the hair compliments :) 

    Star, thanks for the gracious words! Happy to have lime green as a signature colour. I remember loving it when I was 4 years old and never stopped.

    Brooklyn, thank you! YES. I wear soft pastel pinks and like it with lime too :)

    RobinF, thanks for the kind words as always!

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 2 weeks ago

    Oh, wow, lime green fabness! I much prefer your outfit to the one on the website.

  • slim cat replied 2 weeks ago

    Gorgeous - love your styling better than the model' look ( it's a bit "out there"  - fun but totally unrealistic - lol )! Fabulous color on you ! 

  • Ket replied 2 weeks ago

    You sing! You zing! So fab, Angie!!! I’m “green” with envy! ;)

  • Zaeobi replied 2 weeks ago

    Love the way the 'punch' of the lime green plays against the soft pink of your glasses.

  • Mirjana replied 2 weeks ago

    Oh, wow!! I love this color on you! Great pants , you look gorgeous.

  • Joy replied 2 weeks ago

    So Much Fun.

  • Angie replied 2 weeks ago

    Thanks Mirjana and Joy! Lovely to see you chime in. Missed you!

    Zaeobi, great to see you too! The soft pink is pretty with the lime, isn't it ;)

    Sharan and Slimcat, that's high praise and I'm blushing! 

    Ket, you crack me up, and are lovely! 

  • BlueJay replied 2 weeks ago

    Great pants, Angie! What a serendipitous match with the top! Your hair looks great!

  • kellygirl replied 2 weeks ago

    Now that's a happy color! So fab with white. You always have such great picks! Love this!

  • Vicki replied 2 weeks ago

    Love the lime green, and it works beautifully on you, so fresh, vibrant, and alive!!

  • JP replied 2 weeks ago

    I love that color on you—what a happy accident! I actually thought those were denim pants until I read your description. Also, I'm really loving your hair❣️

  • Angie replied 2 weeks ago

    Blue Jay, Kelly, and Vicki, thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated. 

    JP, the pants are cut like jeans, but aren't jeans. Clever! 

    Thanks for the hair love too :)
