But these gingham pants were so cute! And everyone was wearing them! And they were on sale!
...and there they sat in my closet. I even tried to wear them a few times, but overheating for fashion is not a choice I tend to make (freezing for fashion is unfortunately another story).
Now that Labor Day has passed, and perhaps some collective intention about being desperate for fall weather (present company excluded) was able to elicit a change in the atmosphere seemingly overnight, as there has been a noticeable chill in the air. Now I'm looking at pants with fresh eyes and will try to take advantage of this small window of time when I can wear them by choice, rather than necessity.

You definitely nailed this outfit!! Wish I could pull off gingham pants! Also totally need those shoes! So cute!
ReplyDeleteThese pants are great for the fall! This outfit is so cute and I love how it looks on you! xoxo sarah
ReplyDeleteThose pants are so cute - I'm glad you're getting some wear out of them because they really are pretty great!

They are such cute pants on you and I'm glad you could give them a wear! I'm with you, I'm not a big fan of pants or jeans in the summer heat and humidity. Shorts or skirts or dresses are a lot cooler!
ReplyDeleteHope that your week is going well :)

I have a pair of gingham pants that I adore - but you're right, they totally don't work for the heat of summer. They're better as a transitional item into fall or from winter to spring! Love how you styled these.
ReplyDeleteThat's a bummer that they weren't the most practical choice, but they really are so cute. I bet they're great inside in the AC though, or maybe on an early fall day. Love them with that classic white top!
ReplyDeleteI have a pair like this and adore them. Yet I think we can transition these to winter!! It'd be a great challenge!

These pants are so cute, yes! But I hear you- super tight pants on a summer day isn't my first choice, either. I bet you'll get some good use out of these come early spring? When you still need/want the coverage but are ready for some warm-weather vibes. :)

The pants fit you perfectly! And I think you've done a great job of a transitional season look here!! I never would have guessed they are Old Navy! The side seams line up nicely.
ReplyDeleteperfect for fall!

Well at least you've gotten one wear out of them!
ReplyDeleteI like them, there is something very chic and vintage about gingham or how they call it in Spain "vichy".
For years, I always wore pants in the summer - but a west coast summer isn't always all that summery, so it wasn't so much a matter of choice as matter of logic. I would have loved these gingham pants then. Now, like you, while I can see their appeal, I know that I simply wouldn't wear them in the summer months except out of a sense of needing to because they were in my closet. Here's hoping that temperatures where you are stay warm enough that you can still wear them for a while, because they are lovely and deserve to have their moment :)
