Shreve sent me these pants.
Should I wear them in public?
Vote yes or no.
:::ELECTION RESULTS:::
The results are in. I will be wearing these pants in public. Your commitment to your civic duty is thrilling. Thank you for being wonderful citizens of Plumeville.
Sincerely,
The Noisy Plume
Allison and I are sitting in her studio chatting and we just saw this and say YES, of course, you MUST wear those in public. So there. Two votes Yea.
[Love you.]
xo.
Obviously.
I vote yes.
Yes, yes yes!
That's it, that's all:)
I had a pair in the same style, same plaid, except in burgandy and cream waaaay back in the day, like the early 70's…they are my fave pants of all time. If I could only fit in them now I'd strut all over town with my coordinating rib knit turtleneck. So, my answer is a resounding YES. xo
Love Them!!! Yes!! 🙂
ummmm you bettah!
Yes !! I love them great pants..
Absoplaidalootly!! Hands down yes maam! Wear with a bit of sass and a big smile!:)
Now Noey, you can't cast more than one ballot:) Them's the rules.
My internet is acting up so I hope you dont get a million Yes's from me but count them all because those pants are FAB!
HA HA HAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
One vote for you, and two votes for your best friends, though it looks like my pants are going to have a landslide victory…
um. yes.
ABSOLUTELY!
Us gals over here at the coffee shop say Rock those bad boys! You are adorable sista!
HECK yes!!!!
Now I want some…
Good lord that takes me right back to junior high school – so probably a good sign – cause I haz a mature…
As Tim Gunn would say, "That's a lot of look."
But you can pull it off.
Yes'am.
Holy Mary Mother of God – YES! I do believe a Constitutional amendment was just passed *requiring* you to wear those in public!
You look amazing in those pants. And if you're lucky enough to look that good in tight plaid pants, you should count your lucky stars. Go for it!!
Hang on…these pants weren't part of the constitution to begin with???
without question!!
Si, Oui, Yes!
yes. just, yes.
Love them! Yes!
Yes. Yes, you should. To some style-oriented event, if possible. Or the hardware store.
I vote yes. Fantastic pants.
Yes, and I think you should do a new line of retro postcards.
On me that would look like someone's sad couch, complete with lumpy cushions. On you, it simply looks high fashion. I am voting yes (as long as you don't make me go buy some like it)!
Enjoy the day!
Erin
A most definite yes. They look amazing on you.
Gardanne! Good idea!!!
Erin: GUFFAW!!! 🙂
sweet sassy YES!!!!!
YES – we should all look so good in plaid. Love the shoes too.
a very very enthusiastic YES!
abso – freaking – lutley!
they are magnificent.
xo
BIG TIME LOTS !!!!!
Especially with those cute shoes!
And draped with oodles of coral. xo

girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl, you rock'n those bricthes!

Plume! did you really think we would vote no? Si!
Oh please, do. Wear them proudly for those of us pear girls who'd love to wear them ourselves, but sadly are genetically unable to EVER get away with it (except, perhaps, on Halloween).
SIIIIIIIIII !!!!!!!!!!!!! (That means YES!!!)
If I had your body, I would be wearing these pants all day long!!!
You look so chic wearing them!!!
uhm… YES MA'AM! You show Pocatello who's boss!(as if you haven't already)
Most defiantly, all the time!
well i think my answer is a forgone conclusion: MOST DEF.
Hell yes! I wish I could look so good in such rocking pants!!
I vote yes!
What a preposterous question.
BIEN SUR.
You look damn fine in them!
Hell's yah, go very public, perhaps with a man though,
your man…
you look like a Stepford Housewife!
lady love: you'd look amazing in a burlap sack.
plus these pants are SUPERFUN. so obviously yes. SI SI SI!
A resounding YES!!! They are fabulous!
Those are very Mondo from Project Runway…the one that should have won…i love them totally!
My roommate and I both say "yes".
Yes, but please take RW with and he should have the Flip and then you must post the resulting video and I think RW should do the post.
There, being my most bossy as I can as I AM old enough (maybe OLDER!) to be your Mama.
As another commenter, I had a pair, that I did sew meself, in 1974. I know exactly as they were part of my "going away" outfit when I got married….
Hells to the yes.
I think this issue is being treated all together too flippantly.
I think it's clear that these PARTICULAR pants really would only look so excellent on a tiny FRACTION of the human population.
Jillian, this is not a simple Yay or Nay issue; it is rather your moral imperative to strut these pants. You and you alone may be their only hope!!
Because I certainly could never pull them off. 'Tis your duty my dear.
BAH HA H HA HAH AHAHAHAAAAAAAAaaAAaAAAAAA!!!!
And that's why I love Corinna!
SNORT!
Probably I am the only one to say, "maybe not."
I use to wear those pants when I was a teenager and they were so cool. Now my kids call them "mom jeant" and your plaid would be 'Mom pants."
I think they look adorble on you because you have the figure for them. Maybe wear your shirt out and they will look awesome.
I think the better question would be to ask us if we would wear a pair of pants like that.
Wear them, shirt out and heels. You'll look cute!
oh YEAH!
cute! 🙂
You rock those pants! YES!
Should I wear them? NO! Should you wear them? Totally Yes!!!
With a smokin' hot figure like that, hell yes! It would be a crime NOT to wear said pants in public 😉
Ok, girl talk here…..the reason I say no is that in the first photo if you were to stand differently it could look like "camel toes". I'm sorry, but the black stripe of the plaid is across the pants there and it just brings back bad memories of a girl who use to bowl on our bowling league, Her pants had a high rise and when she would throw her ball down the lane, all the women said "ouch!" in their head, because of her camel toe pants. It's a bad memory but kinda funny.
All sorts of Yes. Those pants are all sorts of awesome. (And the shoes, too.)
i vote
yesyesYES!!!!!
If anyone can pull off those pants, it's you!
WWTGD? (what would Tim Gunn do?)
Yes! With a wide dark leather belt that has a gold buckle!!!
Carol: Your second comment made me laugh hysterically. Your bowling girl trauma is duly noted. 🙂 HA!
OH YES!!! and if you don't want to for any reason, I WILL!!
wow. 66 comments. it appears that your diva committee has spoken. i particularly like ann from montana's suggestion that RW do a post embellished by flip video, though it might be rather a challenge to film left-handed while fighting off other fellas with his right hand…
Well, these comments have been like too much fun to read!
I too, like first comment, had pair of wide legged, cuffed, plaid wool pants in varying shades of burgundy and cream and maybe an ochre line or two that I adored to death.
hmmmm…. where are they today? xo

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE UNDERLINED YES!
Voters have turned out in record numbers!!!
You would be doing an injustice to your pants if you don't take them for walks out in public. You also must take them frequently, accompanied by those awesome shoes. We have spoken.
Please don't commit a pants misdemeanor…we're trying to save you.
Pam
YES to wacky pants!!!
hmmm, only if there are stilettos involved….
YES YES YES YES YES [infinity]
just seeing this now…i suck at blogging
Truthfully, my stepmom had pants very similar to those in the 70s, but she did not rock them like you do! 🙂
