She needs that extra padding on her hips-skinny minny :):) I on the other hand, do not!

Hi BB,

Just an FYI, I just bought harmen pants af F21 for $15 (I think they look better than the Urban ones). They are so comfy. I couldn't find them online though. :-( I needed to know how to wear them so thank you for the post.

Okay, am I the only one that thinks they make her look really bad? And considering that she's really cute and has a really good figure, that's just HORRIBLE, and no real person stands a chance???

I agree Sandra.

Those pants are a crime against fashion! lol I don't get the hype??

harem pants need to go away and stop trying to be mainstream. people were giving that liquid leggings (any luck finding a reasonably priced long inseam pair?) a hard time because of the perfect shape you must be in - but i think this style is ever worse with that! you have an extra ounce on your hips and these pants will look like lounge sweat pants gone wrong. not a fan of this trend.

Now she's got old lady Diaper Butt! That's all I'll say. That and I love those shoes you've picked.
