haha I refuse to call them that... though it makes me giggle
when I hear it.

I like the pants, but paired with the vest and blouse, they
do look matronly. Maybe doing something as simple as
rolling up the legs to just above the ankle and cuffing the
sleeves, would make this outfit more fun and youthful.
Also, I would wear this with a pair of Keds.
