Just this past Sunday I shared the love of a pair of my paisley pants, but they aren’t the only pair of paisley pants that I covet. This pair, with it’s slouchy pant and expandable waistline, is way more suitable for a Thanksgiving meal. The only problem with these utterly cozy, pajama like pants, is the hem on them. See, a while ago, these pants were dried when they shouldn’t have been so, they’re a bit short on me. I haven’t given up though: rather, I tuck the pant leg into boots and let them blouse pirate style. The colors in them are too glorious to withdraw from my wardrobe–basically every color in my wardrobe is present: black, browns and blues, even some cranberry red is present. So, I’m keeping them, along with my other paisley pants, until something completely drastic happens to them!

Gigi always manages to catch some goofy pics–this time around I thought I’d share one!
Shop for Paisley Pants:
Because I’m such a fan of paisley pants, I went out window shopping for you–just in case you’d also like a pair! And in the meantime found a few I think I might purchase–like the pair from Boohoo for $8! Or the red and black DSquared pair. (By the way, some of these prices are HK$ instead of USD. If it looks like a lot of $$$ it’s probably HKD.)

Ok…so you know I’m a huge fan of yours! And I absolutely love the colors in those pants. And I love a challenge. So how much is a bit short? To me they don’t quite look right tucked into the cowboy boots. Can you cuff them (might have to use some double stick tape) and wear them with ankle boots? Or can you sew on a border to the hem to make them longer? Or you could taper them and wear them like the ASOS ones’ you’ve shown? Or make them way shorter and call them culottes? jodie

ps. Your goofy picture totally made me smile!
You know Jodie, you really got me thinking. I think I will give this outfit another try and pair black booties on my feet instead. When I’m on the thinner side, the length increases magically! Hahah, isn’t that always the case! But you are right; the cropped look is totally trending, so I should take advantage of my shrunken hem! Thanks for the idea. Love, Ann
Hi Ann, yet another pair of fab paisley pants. I like how you got over the length problem by tucking them into your boots – you really didn’t have to tell us – we’d never have known. The shaggy waistcoat is very cute too. Thank you for the recent link up x

Thanks so much Anna. Still wondering if we could create an exchange….maybe via mail? Although you’re definitely at least two sizes smaller than me if not three, so all my pants would hang off you.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting Anna! Love, Ann
Love how you have styled your paisley pants with the denim

Me too Kirsten–since about 13 or so. You know what started it for me? Benetton! Remember how lovely all their prints used to be. I don’t even know if Benetton is around anymore. Just a sec–I’ll check….Yep! http://www.benetton.com/ And still lovely and bold as ever.
Thanks for stopping by Kirsten. Love, Ann
Hahahahaha!!! I love you and I adore Gigi, she’s so spunky and cute. And yay you, brand ambassador et al. I’m off to check out Firefly. Any brand which has your blessing must be good xoxo
Thanks Sheela. ;D Love, Ann
So digging the paisley pants tucked into the cowboy boots! I love how you styled the gilet, I have the very same one and now I’m inspired to throw it over chambray. 🙂

Oh good! It’s so cozy isn’t it! I love it; it has a ton of wear ahead of it! Love, Ann
Thank you Joanna! I hope you find the paisley pants of your dreams! I do love the print. In fact, I picked up a pencil skirt in paisley from Zara this weekend. I can’t wait to wear it!
