The slim cut leg style is stylish and can be paired with sweaters, worn with tunics/dresses, and with blouses of any color. The pants work well with jackets (short and long waisted) too. I love my black slim cut pants and wear them in many combinations.<br /><br />I wish my closet was better organized. What can I say? "It is on the list." I have been looking at closets online and am slowly identifying design characteristics that I like. Soon I will piece together my design choices. A friend recently re-did her small closet and she opened it in to the attic space. Her closet is tall. She uses a library ladder to get to the top shelves. Interesting how she expanded her space by going up! <br /><br />Your Mom sounds fabulous. Young at heart and spirit. Nothing better. Cherish every day with her.

Not only will you have A LOT more room in your closet (more space for more treasures) but clothes do not fall off. sometimes you can find the hangers in pretty colors. I'm sure others stores carry them, but i've found they are the right price in those 2 places.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153324077974922836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-89604803127499976852014-11-20T13:52:10.917-08:002014-11-20T13:52:10.917-08:00Hostess, I'm sure you will wear your new pants...Hostess, I'm sure you will wear your new pants with all kinds of things and they are especially wonderful b/c a gift from your mother. I think you could take them up a little, though... the photo seems to show them bunching at the bottom- and you have such pretty ankles.

I miss having time with my mum but I will be home in a few weeks. I was thrilled to find yesterday that Martinique really is an overseas department of France and even bought some skin care products at the pharmacie. I bought a pair of Amalfi shoes at Lord's on South Granville and wear them every night on the cruise. Enjoy your "fancy pants".Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-9225925050618223552014-11-19T21:01:10.591-08:002014-11-19T21:01:10.591-08:00Thanks for linking to me, Leslie, and if I inspire...Thanks for linking to me, Leslie, and if I inspired you to pick up those velvet pants, I'm happy -- they're a good find for the holiday season and I bet you'll get all kinds of wear out of them!<br />Your mom sounds like a gem -- you are so lucky to have her still, so engaged with life. . . materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-43788761268988247432014-11-19T18:12:30.254-08:002014-11-19T18:12:30.254-08:00I always enjoy reading about your outings with you...I always enjoy reading about your outings with your mother. I can only imagine the fun you must have. I'm not a minimalist, though I only keep things I frequently wear. Shoes are my weakness! I do hope you have many occasions to wear your "fancy pants".
