I added the tabs which are just an epaulet that I pulled from another pattern and played with the length.I really love this detail. It feels so modern. And it's also a great way to draw in and further taper down a straight-legged pant that might look a little boring.
These are a fun spin on a pair of khakis or chinos. I needed a good neutral in my wardrobe, but I didn't want basic or boring. And these will be great this fall with sneakers and t-shirts.

I did however, make my normal sway back adjustment, because that's just an area where I'm always subject to have an excess amount of fabric pooling at the small of my back. I love the generous length. And it  has adjustable straps. Even on a dress that's custom fitted, sometimes you need to make adjustments. My rings and sliders are recycled from an old bra.Readying this dress for fall is quite easy. I can just throw on one of my favorite jackets -- preferably this gold one that adds another layer of texture and shine.
