Boyfriend Chic

Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with boyfriend anything. Boyfriend jeans… boyfriend fit… boyish details… etc. So this morning, when I woke up not feeling 100%, I had a flash of genius when thinking about what I was going to wear. Even though there was nothing much of anything on the agenda for the day, besides actually getting out of bed, I had the BEST outfit in mind. I love it when a good plan comes together.

So, I woke up, took a shower and went shopping in my boyfriend’s closet. It was pure coincidence that I just happened to already have a tank top that was almost exactly the same color as the one in this shirt - I swear.

But let us talk about this skirt for a second and the fact that it’s circa 2006(ish?) from Old Navy, of all places. They just don’t make clothes like they used to. Such a sad story. This skirt has pretty much got me through just about anything I have thrown it’s way over the last 6 or 7 years. It is such a resilient and valued piece of my wardrobe. And the BEST item to get you through 110+ degree summers in Vegas.

So once we actually got out of the house and I fell even more in love with this outfit than I originally expected. I was a little sad that I did not have a busier day planned for it to see. Maybe I will have to bring it back around on repeat once or twice in the coming weeks - because these shoes are DEFinitely made for walking.

Faux pas, Shmaux pas

Candid Camera is the name of today's game ;)

When I originally purchased these pants at the beginning of the “fall,” I thought to myself, “Okay, I should be able to get at least a couple more wears out of these before it gets too cold to pull them off…” Who would have known that come mid-November, I would still be able to pull these off with the weather. Usually, prints like this belong exclusively in the spring/summer months. But this year, the fashion industry as a whole has single handedly been able to manipulate those general cure-all fashion faux pas that are still alive and kicking. For example, white pants after Labor Day - no longer an issue; bright colors in the dead of fall/winter - who says you have to wear dark colors when it’s cold outside. So actually, I think these super loud printed pants belong in fall more than spring/summer. In your face, season-specific stylists.

P.S. - what do you think about the gnome in the background of the first picture? Nice touch in my parent's backyard, huh...
