Hello again, Im having trouble writing a short paragraph. If any I can help a bit, would be really awesome.

Last week she bought a pair of blue pants. She liked them very much, so yesterday she bought another pair. She said she would like a pair of black shoes.

上个星期他买了一双蓝色的裤子。她非常喜欢它们。所以她买了另一对。她说她想要一双黑色的鞋。

Can "它们“ be used to describe the pants? Also im not very familiar with "另“. Is there an alternative way to say "another pair" ? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

In chinese they dont not refer to pants as a pair. It is simply 一条裤子. 

I would head in this direction but Im sure it still needs improvement.

上星期她买了一条蓝色裤子。她喜欢他们非常,所以她昨天再买了一条蓝色裤子。她说她想要一双黑色鞋子。

sorry - should be "do not refer to pants". I cant even get the english right.

I think this is better:

上星期她买了一条蓝色裤子。她喜欢他们非常,所以昨天她买了另条蓝色裤子。她说她想要一双黑色鞋子

or you could maybe just say:

上星期她买了一条蓝色裤子。她喜欢他们非常,所以昨天她买了另条。她说她想要一双黑色鞋子

可以这么写:

上星期她买了一条蓝色的裤子。她非常喜欢。所以昨天她又买了一条。她说她还想要一双黑色的鞋子。
