Style Perspectives - Bright Pants
Wednesday, March 30, 2016
Hopefully you've already been over to The Blended Blog and seen Shaunacey’s Bright pants look already! I can’t believe we’re on week 5 of our style challenge already. These posts are my favourite and I look forward to them all week. The only part I hate is narrowing down my choices in my closet.
I own a 4 pairs of bright pants, who knew? But for this week I went with red, because I knew which blouse I wanted to pair with it. This Is my wear to work version, and after a few weeks of the challenge now, I realize I wear a lot of blazers, or cardigans. I also wear a lot of colour, and I never really thought about it. For years my uniform was black pants, and black shirts. I forced myself out of it, but didn't really pay attention. Now I rarely wear all black. Wow, the things I never really paid attention too.
I'm sorry, I'm rambling, back to the bright pants.
Here’s my fat a$$ wearing Red Pants. And you know what? I LOVE THEM. Also, I'm wearing black pumps. Yup, I'm 5’7 and wish I was 5’4, but whatever. They match my blazer. And make me look a bit thinner. So I'm wearing them. Also they hurt my feet but pain is beauty.
My shirt is from Marshalls, pants are from Old Navy, Shoes from Payless, Blazer from Penningtons. Necklace – DSW. Clutch – Indigo. Lipstick – MAC. Everything dug out of my closet and older pieces. Well, the clutch is newish from Valentines day from Nick.
There you have it. I still don't have this photo taking thing down yet. My arms look all funny, but my teenage photographer gets annoyed with all of my posing.
Look at all of us from last week in our printed shirts ! ADORABLE? Yes:)

DeleteYou look great in this look - mixing the floral and stripes. It's funny what we wish for - I am 5'5" and wish I was a few inches taller.
