What should I wear with these things....(Pics!)

Okay while cleaning out my closets I found several items that I really do like but never wear. Mainly because I can't seem to figure out what to wear with them. So help me out - what would you wear with these things? The pics aren't great, sorry - low light and not a great camera but if you want a better pic or description of something just lmk...(and chances are I've already tried everything with jeans, so if that is what you'd do be specific about the cut/style okay? )

Thanks mamas!


These pants are particularly puzzling....They didn't photograph well, but are a soft brown with very subtle gold pinstripes. They hit at the knee and are trouser cut....I usually look terrible in any cropped stuff (I'm petite and long waisted), but trousers are usually flattering on me so I thought these might work. I planned to wear them with my knee high boots but it looks stupid! So what shoes especially do you wear with pants like this?

The cardigan is a steely blue....it might actually work with the pants....the shape is cute but I can't figure out what to wear it with...



Charcoal finely ribbed wrap sweater, white linen shirt - fits a little loose, maybe it is just too big....


Floral top - the prob with this is it is kind of 'straight' - doesn't nip at the waist so it looks weird with everything on me...
Wrap skirt - love this, fits great - but not sure what color top to wear with it? Nothing I have matches and the pink is too bright for me to want to wear a shirt that color.....


This sweater is so pretty but I know it is really too big. So picture it loose and flowy - would anything look good? Otherwise I'll save it for if/when I get knocked up again When I put it on with regular jeans it looks like I'm trying to hide a baby bump.....


Turquoise cable cardigan, goldish wrap top...

I love the J Jill cami tops for under cardigans and wraps, pair with jeans/khakis/capris and funky necklaces, etc.

I would find a white top to wear with the skirt, but I am fairly conservative. The white short sleeve top looks really boxy, maybe tailoring to take it in? The sweater with inverted pleats is really pretty, but looks like it would be tough to pull off. Maybe if you are large busted? It would make me look pg. as I have no chest. LOL.

I would wear ballet flats with the cropped pants. I have a pair similar and wear with a winter white sweater, choc. brown flats.

floral tank with either the white wrap sweater or the turquoise and jeans.

the sweater that is too big? sell it on ebay.

the capris are way way cute! would they go with the white short sleeve shirt?

that yellowy hippy skirt? send it to me! lol

I almost think the floral shirt and the hippy skirt could clash just enough to match... combine it with a floral print scarf/bandanna.... add a generous dose of patchouli....lol

Id wear clogs with the short pants, maybe ballet flats too?
The hippy skirt Id just go with a solid T shirt, white, prob black?

Thanks everyone!!! Yeah, with the cropped pants I'm thinking they'd be cute with flip flops in the summer but my only other 'flats' are too sporty - and also black. But I'll try them on together just to check for general 'shape'.

LOL Becky about the hippy skirt! Yes, all I've ever worn it with is a white tank and it does look cute that way - just thought there might be another idea.

The white linen shirt is a bit boxy but has small darts already - maybe I can take it in a little more.

I do love that floral tank - I think it might work with 'looser' jeans. I have some trouser style ones that I haven't tried with it so I'll try them on. It did not look good with my tighter more fitted jeans though Since it isn't nipped at the waist, and I am sort of 'pear' shaped, it made me look bigger all over I think with the right shape on bottom it could work though. Hmn...maybe a skirt....

Thanks again!
