In Velvet

I act on all inspirations as they are received.

Before it becomes seasonal inappropriate, these velvet pants need a little more love. I had a double booked day of a Baptism followed by a baby shower, and while I'd normally reach for a dress, it was very cold, and I had my mind made up to replicate this J.Crew look, so I did.

Now that I look at these photos I feel like these pants need to be hemmed a bit. Checking out the stock photo I realize these are supposed to be ankle length, haha. Though who am I kidding, I won't get around to that until next winter.

  1. Love those velvet pants! Sounds like they were perfect for your day, and you are smart to get one more wear out of them before it warms up more.

  2. As much as I love the idea of ankle length pants, I have to be honest and say I just don't think it's realistic for us petites - unless we want to spent a small fortune on tailoring bills, that is, and personally, I'm just not inclined to do it. I'm not sure it would work with velvet as well as with jeans, but I'm all about cuffing. And either way, no matter what the length of these pants, they are fabulous, and I love the bordeaux shade paired with your camel coat.

  3. Perfect for a double baby event day, haha! :D Who knows, maybe next year longer pants will be all the rage so it won't matter if you haven't hemmed them yet, haha

  5. I like that you paired the velvet pants with the camel coat. Definitely have to get a few more wears in before spring starts!

  6. I hear you- I wonder if I'll be able to wear my velvet pieces at all come full-blown spring. Maybe the slipdresses/blouses- but certainly the trousers will have to go!

    Love this outfit, lady!

  12. I don't know, Lydia!! This length for the pants could be perfect...if you don't mind wearing them with heels!! I would never look at these photos and think they are too long!
    But they do look scrumptious!! Glad you got one more wear from them before it gets too warm!

  14. Love the velvet pants! I bought a black pair and have yet to wear them, funny thing "season appropriate" if I were to adhere to that I would never wear half of my clothes !

  23. Those velvet pants are beautiful, it's great you could get another wear out of them (and for multiple events!) before it got too warm to wear. The length doesn't look too long in all of the pics, but I guess if you have them hemmed you have the option of wearing them with flats too! :)

    Hope you are having a great week! Happy International Women's Day! :)
