Okay! I absolutely loved the look of these. 🤍 I own the original Firebird Pant in black and wear them ALL the time, so I was really excited to try the Barrel version!
And not saying these won’t be a good fit for you, but there were a couple reasons I decided to return them:
1. Big b***y girls - take note! 🍑
The length from the crotch to the waistband felt really short on me. I’m definitely more of a mid-to-high-rise girl and these sat on the lower side of a mid-rise for me. With my shape I just knew they were going to give me major wedgie/camel toe vibes and be uncomfortable when sitting down. 😂
So if you’re more of a mid-rise girly and you don’t usually have an issue getting your b***y into pants, these could be SO good on you. They are seriously dang cute!
2. The material
They felt slightly heavier to me than the original Firebird Pant. Not necessarily a bad thing just something I noticed because I love the lighter feel of the originals. I’m wondering maybe if it was because they sat lower and the urge to pull them up an inch!
I still LOVE the whole sporty-chic vibe of these. A track pant or wide-leg pant is such a fun way to switch things up from jeans and you can style them so many ways. I love them with a collared shirt and ballet flats for work - then add some jewelry, unbutton the shirt and throw on some heels for going out after work. Super easy transition👌🏼
So while these ones weren’t the pants for me - they might be perfect for you. If you’ve been eyeing them - I recently got accepted as a SHOPMY influencer account so I will share a link, more links to come! ❤️ Thanks again for following along, the fashion shares often get left behind my daily parenting struggles and tips 😂 Hopefully you’re fine with it all as my life transitions as my kids grow!
My next project - I’ve had some inquiries about wear to get jeans that are long enough! So I plan on sharing that in the next few weeks, but to be honest we are in a fashion era where most jean length is fine to be ankle length or full length! So we’ve got some room to work with! Stay tuned and happy first week of school!
