Am I the only one tired of skinny jeans already? I can’t wait until some of the local stores start carrying some wide-leg and flared cut jeans so I can find myself a nice pair (I’ll admit I am a little wary of how they’ll look on my petite figure, but I’m up for the challenge!). In the meantime, I found myself some paperbag pants! I first saw this style on Elaine and Kendi and thought it looked really unique and different. Then, when I saw them on clearance at Urban Outfitters for $29.99 plus an additional 10% off code (plus an additional 3% back via Mr. Rebates*!), I decided I’d give it them a whirl.
Boy am I glad I did! Although these pants are supposed to be a cropped style that hits above the ankle, for me it’s a full-length trouser. I actually quite like it this way and don’t find the cut unflattering at all (as it can be with pants intended to be worn as crops). And something else I love about these pants? They’re tweed. I’m sure you’ve noticed my undying love for this material (here, here, here, and here …I told you). So let’s all clap our hands and say hooray for another successful Urban Outfitters pants purchase (and yes, my UO skinny jeans are still my all-time faves)! I can’t wait to remix the h out of you. 🙂

Before all the hoopla with skinny jeans, all I wore were (slightly) flared jeans. I have wider hips, you see, and I felt that the flares balanced me out. Now, I'm learning to like skinnies and flares are back in style! Nice.
I think these pants' hem is just perfect on you. I love your top!

I really like the pants. I only own one pair of skinny jeans, and tuck capris into my boots. I'm not the biggest fan of them on me. I love boot cut, flares, and wide leg pants. Old navy has a pair of wide leg jeans I really want with a belt just like the pants you are wearing.

I was going to say (because I'm looking at this on my tiny phone screen) that the pant material looks nice and thick…I love tweed as well. Hard to find good fitting ones. I might have to check these out. Looking good!!

I'm not sick of skinny jeans at all because that's what looks best on me and I truly believe in wearing what looks best on your body type rather than what's in style. With that being said, I did just buy a pair of flare jeans that I'm working into my wardrobe, so who knows, I might buy another!
The pants look fantastic on you! I wonder if they have my size in store, I may have to hunt them down and try them on. Although I love this outfit on you I don't think the cork shoes goes with the pants. The tweed just needs something a bit classier and cork shoes in my mind are more funky and casual.

I love skinny jeans, but I get a little sick of the look.
I don't think I could pull off these pants — I don't like cropped anything — I actually think the length looks fantastic on you!

That looks brilliant on you and your style it so well!
Babe, are those pumps comfy? And btw, what's mr. rebates?

PetiteLittleGirl says
Those pants are so fun and unique. I will definitely check them out. I have yet to find a pair of pants that fits me properly. Have a great weekend, Kileen.
Leena says
honestly, i wish the skinny pant trend would last forever! with that being said, i'm a slave to fashion, so i will be stopping by the mall today to try on some flare jeans. 😛
Bog-Bog says
Oh, the pants are super chic and i love the harmony of colours!
Melissa says
I can NOT handle how adorable you are. Seriously, this outfit is too much! How on earth is it possible for someone to look so incredible in a neutral, monochrome outfit?!
Those pants are super fun – I kind of want to try some but you're thinner than I am, so I'm not sure how they would look on me. You really look amazing!
Jillian says
i love that silk top! v pretty 🙂 xoxo jcd
JNRS says
They really do look great on you! I will have to shoot over to Urban today to see if I can score any deals! 🙂
Elle says
I have always liked that HM blouse so I am glad that it made an appearance. And I am honestly intrigued by this paperbag pants/skirts trend…need to get myself one eventually. 🙂
kileen says
@20 York Street i love these shoes. full review here.
and Mr. Rebates is a site that gives you a certain percentage back on a large number of online retailers. check them out! 🙂
kileen says
@Melissa These pants are a pretty loose fit and I think it would actually look great on you! They're actually very forgiving for those days when you feel a little heavier. 🙂
kileen says
@Tiffany – I am Style-ish Looking back at the pictures, I agree with you on the cork wedges. It does look just a little off. Thanks for the tip! 🙂
Designer's Wifey says
I love this look; the pants are great! I also saw them on Kendi, a lot of people are wearing them now which is good because I'm also tired of skinny jeans lol. Variety is good=)
The Little Dust Princess says
Loving the masculine feel of the pants paired with the feminine flowy top. Very pretty : )

you are totally rocking those pants!! i love that they have a bow detail!! 🙂
Banhannas says
Wow, these pants look like they were tailored to your body! I love the length on them, much preferred than the cropped look in my opinion.
The Pretty Life Anonymous says
Those pants are ammmmmazzzingly cute on you! I need some!
Fashion Momma says
I'm going to rock the wide legs and flares on THIS frame, so you will look INCRED. Sydney looks fab in them, so you will definitely look similar. Plus, you wear sky high heels, so no one will know! 😉
AND love the combo of gunmetal and grey in this outfit!
Alycia (Crowley Party) says
you rock those pants! seriously!
Really Petite says
Your title posts always make me smile:) That NYC pin is adorable!!!!

This is such a great look! And I've never thought of trying cropped pants as full length. That is such a good idea.

I like these pants as a full length better than as cropped, I think. It's a great way to make the outfit just a bit more casual.
Katri says
