What I'm Wearing | Burnt Orange V-neck + Gray Wool Pants

So I've been looking at pants patterns, because I'm always out to find the next great pattern.  I love the yellow pants I made, but that pattern took some tweaking.  The fit through the thighs were not as fitted as I'd have liked.  I wanted pants that were fitted through the hips, thighs and flared at the knee.  And that's what I tried to achieve with the alterations I made to that Simplicity pattern.  

I week ago, I was perusing Net-A-Porter.com (my FAVORITE site for retail inspiration) and saw these great Stella McCartney pants:

And I thought, "Wow, I need a pair of grey pants like these!"  And then it clicked:  I already have a pair!  It's sad to forget what you in your own closet.  SMH...

These are the famous Vogue 1051 pants that everyone that sews has pretty much made.

I took a modicum of inspiration from the Net-A-Porter.com styling and added a bright sweater (I prefer v-necks), Ralph Lauren chocolate brown suede ankle boots and my cognac colored leather hobo from Steve Madden.

Lesson learned:  I already had what I've been looking for.  This goes for a TNT pants pattern and life!
