These might be cute if you take the m up a few more inches:
$51 at Nordstrom
$149 at Bluefly- still expensive, but so cute!
there seems to be a decent selection on ebay too. or maybe you can get a cheap pair of full length pants and have them shortened? There are a ton of cheap wool/tweed pants from last year on ebay for practiaclly nothing.
I think I saw some in the latest Newport News catalog. I can't find them on the site yet, but they don't seem to have all of their fall stuff up yet. I think the pants were like a brown tweed or small plaid. Do you get that catalog?
