What I Wore: Brights

(what i wore: top – tj maxx, pants – old navy, platforms – bcbg, jewelry – vintage & forever21)
Yesterday I wore a quite bright outfit but nothing could keep me cool. It’s getting harder and harder to find motivation to wear my hair down. You?

What I Wore: In the Navy

(what i wore: trousers – ralph lauren, tank – bcbg, jewels – vintage, F21, banana republic, unseen heels – steve madden)
I found these high waist navy sailor pants last week at TJ Maxx and I absolutely adore them. They are the perfect length to wear/disguise towering platforms and elongate the leg.

White done right

Remember Leelee Sobieski? Yeah, I barely did either. However, this suit is not something I’m going to forget anytime soon. I LOVE this look. It’s clean, fresh, stylish, flattering. Ahhh. Do you agree?

I want this swimsuit.

Am I wrong to think that the suction/scuba-type material would be flattering? It seems like it would suction everything in. On the other hand…where does it go?

via Anthro – duh.

Whilst we’re shopping at Anthro, I also want these pants:

Outfit (Tuxedo Inspired)

Gooooood morning! I’m back in the gym, taking GPOYs and definitely not working out. Yesterday I wore a black & white ensemble that reminded me of a tuxedo and realized again how much I love trousers.

High Waisted

Today I fit back into my vintage After Six navy tuxedo pants thanks to my semi-starvation diet. It feels oh-so-good despite the stomach rumblings. I’m reminded again how much I love high waisted pants. They’re retro and modern at the same time and can be dressed down or up. Not to mention they make you’re legs look miles long.

High-waisted wide leg trouser with side pockets.

Zara Wishlist

I may have mentioned my intense love/hate relationship with stores like Zara and H&M. While I love them dearly, I am prohibited from shopping them because of where I live (yes, Arkansas). Happily, I will be going to Dallas next weekend to visit my wonderful Aunt Ann. She is always amenable to shopping with me and has taken me to the loveliest little vintage shops. This time I’m going prepared…with a shopping list…for Zara!
