The pants Carrie made for me arrived on Saturday. I have to admit, the elastic cuffed pants sorta scared me a bit, but I’m always willing to give something new a try.
The fit around my waist is perfect. even through the thighs. I think I might take them in a bit around the knees and ankles for more of a skinny effect, but they’re just fine as-is. Carrie did a fantastic job thinking outside the box for me. Make yourself a pair using Carrie’s refashion tutorial. Thanks for making me something awesome, Carrie!!

Oh, I actually love these as is! They are a little of a harem vibe, and I think you can totally do it. And the fit of the top IS perfect! I want some, too!
You probably could pull off like any kind of pants…

love the styling. You can rock anything, I think these look awesome–that fit on top is just hot, and I think the whole look is great.
they look great, and I love how you have styled them.
Oh I love this! I rock the cuffs look all the time – you look amazing :)
The elastic scared me too! I like how you styled them though! Great job both of you!
I promise elastic cuffs are a good thing.
