  Wow you look gorgeous! Definitely more than JFE.  This looks like a very glamorous jumpsuit, it is fantastic how the black of your top matches the pants.

• Cococat replied 9 years ago

  Beautiful. Very much more than JFE. (Sneaking over to the Motto site for a nosey :) )

• Deborah replied 9 years ago

  Coco has your order arrived??

• Cococat replied 9 years ago

  No but it's on its way! I'm quite excited...the delay has added to the excitement I think..lol.

  ps. Goodness, I just had a look at them on the Motto site, and I would never have given them a second glance. I think that you need to be the Motto model Deborah. :)

• Deborah replied 9 years ago

  Coco can't wait for you to get your goodies:). And thank you. Without sounding arrogant (I hope) I prefer how they look on me. Other ladies I have fitted look better than the model too! Weird!

• Karie replied 9 years ago

  Sweet sister, you look stunning in this outfit! Those pants were made for you. Enjoy your evening out!

• Thirkellgirl replied 9 years ago

  I think I might be a bit hippy for those but they look fantastic on you. I think your hair looks wonderful, too. You've inspired me to keep on with my own grow-out journey. This is about the point where I get frustrated with my hair and whack it off again.

  I love the drape of the pant and find it to be very flattering Deborah.   

  Are you growing your hair out?  I haven't spent enough time reading on YLF to keep up with what everyone is up to lately.

  You look great!  I love the belt and how it provides a break between the drapey top and the drapey pants.

• kkards replied 9 years ago

  deborah, you have knack for making drapey look sleek and well tailored. and the belt is just fab! love this.

• Bonnie replied 9 years ago

  This is a great look on you. The belt is perfect with the drapey pants.

• Nebraskim replied 9 years ago

  Gorgeous. I am envious of the KMart sandals.

• Astrid replied 9 years ago

  I like them! Perfect pants for your style.

• unfrumped replied 9 years ago

  These are quite cool--sort of like a harem pant but better, without the droopy crotch. Nice taper in the leg and fun with those sandals--I forget your weather is warming up!

• Deborah replied 9 years ago

  Thank you very much Fabbers! I do love these pants:).

  Cheryle, no not growing my hair, just coming up to cut and colour time:). My hair grows faster than the speed of light (just kidding) but it dies grow fast and I usually have s little tidy up at 3 weeks to help me get thru to the 6 week cut and colour xx

  Amazing. These are definitely not JFE - they are without question flattering on you. And I love how the drape of the top echoes the drape in the pants. They look like they were meant to be worn together.

  I am STILL considering getting those half-skirted leggings/pants - the Nevada pants. Do you have any pictures of you trying those on? I am interested in how they might look on a "real" person (not that models aren't real people, but their proportions generally are not very much like mine). 

  Were these an American brand, I wouldn't hesitate to order them, but with shipping they would be close to $100, and it would not be worth it to ship them back, so I kind of have to be sure before I order!

  PLONK!

• Deborah replied 9 years ago

  Echo, the Nevada Pant is stunning.  I have tried them on and considered buying them. But never took pics.  If I have time when next in, I will dress up and take a pic:)   One of my girlfriends has them.

  They are beautiful fabric and quite a streamlined design.  I was absolutely and pleasantly surprised at how good they looked on me. Being only 5ft2 I thought the length of the skirt would be off on me but somehow the proportions were lovely.

  The Nevada Pant is now $69.95 (on sale) and shipping is 25.00. I personally think they would be a great investment and you have my word I would never recommend something if I couldn't honestly vouch for the quality etc of the garment:)    Echo I don't think I have ever 'seen' you so I can't comment re your body type but your profile says apple / hourglass which is what I am, so I would assume they would work for you. xxx

  Elizabeth, I *knew* you would like these my style sister :)

• Echo replied 9 years ago

  Okay, just one last question. Are the Nevada pants a fabric like the Paris pants you are wearing in this post? Or are they are more cotton-type jersey? My preference is the former (easier to fit, even if the size is slightly off). And do they run TTS? Smaller? I tend to have thick legs and sometimes cotton jersey doesn't stretch enough to accommodate my calves. Sorry to have so many questions.

• Sal replied 9 years ago

  A lovely elegant edgy and definitely flattering look!

• Jaime replied 9 years ago

  Gorgeous jumpsuit effect and I love how you have acquired a signature belt. Motto should use you as their model and stylist.

• Beth Ann replied 9 years ago

  What wonderful drape and fit, Deborah.  Excellent choice, and I'm so glad you shared them with us.

• Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

  They are so elegant and chic on you, Deborah. Once again, you outdo the online picture in "selling" the clothing item. Very flattering indeed! I like how you're wearing them with the drapy top and statement belt. 

• Deborah replied 9 years ago

  Echo they are the dressy jersey like the Paris Pants.  Motto don't do the cotton type jersey (like tshirt material) at all :)  This jersey is a nice weight which means the fabric falls and drapes very well.  My skirted leggings (the bella pants) are the same fabric as the Nevada and everything stays in place.  I have skinny legs so the pant bit does wear like a skinny pant rather than a legging.

  I would say their sizes are true to size and heading toward generous.  I My bottoms are all size AU size 10 (US 6) which I would say is my true size:)

• Sveta replied 9 years ago

  Love them on you Deborah, they suit your style perfectly.
  I wish I was a cool as you are to wear those but I would never dare :-(

• Helen11 replied 9 years ago

  Lol, Sveta, same here. Deborah, smashing as always!

• Style Fan replied 9 years ago

  Gorgeous.  I think you should be the Motto model.

• Joy replied 9 years ago

  Those are keepers, in fact, you need them in any other colors that they come in too.

• anne replied 9 years ago

  I can't believe how good these look on you - I would not have suspected it from the model

• anne replied 9 years ago

  And I've been checking Kmart to see if they have those shoes (my size usually sells out fast)

• Deborah replied 9 years ago

  Anne one of my girlfriends asked me about these shoes and then went and bought them! Not sure if I should be flattered or bothered lol ...we frequently mix in the same circles !

• Eliza replied 9 years ago

  Swoon. You look amazing.  Love those pants and they are so you. They add so much interest to your looks. 

• anne replied 9 years ago

  Go with flattered Deb - and they are kind of a basic design, so I don't think people will notice too much.

• Emily replied 9 years ago

  You look beautiful. Amazing pants.
