What a pretty outfit! Both top and trousers are so nicely done and they look great on you :) Love the backdrops as well.
Have a lovely weekend :)

2015-07-24T11:22:12.366-04:00

Come to think of it, my daughter is like that too.... grays, blacks, dark blues.... year-round. Hmmm, sounds like your granddaughter just might be her mother's, mother's revenge. (Did I say that right?!) heeheehee :0

One of my girls is pretty much anti-print. Her wardrobe is nearly all solids in subdued colors. I get a kick out of her reaction to some of the loud prints I've used. Often she just gives me a sideways look and says, "that's kind of a LOT." Even funnier is that her little daughter loves garish prints and puts together the wackiest pattern combinations. That's probably a typical little kid thing, though.

Hee!Hee!.... I don't understand mine's 'frame of reference' either sometimes!!! :0 You might have a good point there too with it being a mother/daughter thing. Thanks ever so much Mama Pea! :)

It's comforting to see I'm in great company with a daughter's style advice/world! Ha! Pants will be worn with no hesitations! Thank you Barbara! :)

Lisa, you do such a great job of "showing" your outfits. No, I never for a second thought "pj" bottoms when looking at the pictures. I've experienced so many of the same kind of reactions from my daughter! It truly must be a "mother/daughter" thing and over the years (sigh), I've learned to realize can't be taken to heart by me. She just has a different frame of reference (which I don't understand!) than I do. Wonderfully cool, comfortable, attractive outfit!

2015-07-24T08:55:10.509-04:00

The pants don't read as pjs to me, at least not through the computer screen. But as someone already said, daughters live in a different style world. My own three have nixed several things I've made. Come to think of it, most of those items were pants! Wear those pants with no hesitation and be happy you know the fit issues are fixable before you cut into the linen.

Hee!Hee! Oh my goodness another great point about daughters! I shall look at my daughter's.... err.... 'fashion advice' in a different light in the future. :) Ah, Chinos.... that's what these are. Thank you so much Erin! :)

Brutal.... absolutely! She felt so bad when she realized she'd sort of said the 'wrong' thing..... but still!! Completely understand your love of white linen..... there shall be more in my wardrobe too. Thank you ever so much Carolyn! :)

2015-07-24T08:46:07.727-04:00

Great tip! These pants are/were a muslin before cutting into my linen..... and adding extra seam allowance would've been a great idea. 'Wear with confidence'.... I like that! Thank you Sarah Liz! :)

Thank you Beverly! :)

2015-07-24T04:57:15.708-04:00

Wonderful outfit! I love the lightness of it. I don't think the pants look like pyjamas at all. Maybe if you wore them with a matching turquoise green top? But aren't pyjamas the hight of fashion right now? So don't you worry again!
They're lovely! By the way the story to the lake sounds great.

No worries, they don't look like pyjama pants ...

2015-07-24T02:29:42.564-04:00

No worries, they don't look like pyjama pants at all, they look like chinos which is worn at this cropped length in my Japanese sewing books. Daughters are in a different fashion style era than us :)
The view at this lake is so beautiful and serene.

2015-07-24T01:50:51.612-04:00

Great outfit! I didn't think those were pj pants when I saw them first. I think with this pants it is important what you wear with them, but this top let's them look like beautiful summer pants. I always cut one size less than I would need when I sew pants :-D Can't stand the thought of having 2 sizes more hipwise than I have bustwise :-D That being said I really like your outfit, it looks so summery and I love those light colors on you!

2015-07-24T00:30:32.197-04:00

Haha, daughters can be brutal, no?! Rest assured your trousers look gorgeous and perfect for summer. I did not think "pyjamas" while looking at your lovely pictures at all! The top is super cute, and I really adore that little pleat detail at the shoulder. As for white linen; well, seriously, I could just live in white linen EVERYTHING, all summer long! Just a lovely outfit, all over :)

2015-07-23T23:10:54.400-04:00

I never thought of these as p.j. pants when I first looked at them, but as soft, pastel, polka dot pants that looked good with your casual shoes. I'd wear them with confidence, if I was you. Linen is a delight to work with, and your rolled hem looks lovely. Just a tip - when making pants without a muslin, add extra to the outside leg seam front and back - cut one inch seams, and then you have plenty to work with, and can let out if need be. I never have this problem from the tummy down, but I do around the middle, and always add plenty and trim that away if need be.

Does not look like pj's - very pretty summer outfit. And love the beautiful scenery.
