Save or Splurge: Basic Black Pants

Splurging on the perfect black pants
Splurge, splurge, splurge, splurge. If I could find the perfect pair of basic black pants I really would be willing to spend pretty big on them. I have no black pants that fit me correctly. Actually I don't have any pants that fit me correctly.

Black pants (or your favorite neutral color) would make my wardrobe so much more versatile. I have a few pairs that look like they fit when I wear the right skirt and shoes, but that's a lot of work for a boring outfit.

Basics like these are worth a splurge. If you buy a perfect fit (tailoring may be required) in a quality pants, you won't be buying a new pair of pants every winter.

Would you splurge on black pants?

I've recently put on weight, but only in my thighs, the biggest part of me to begin with. My pants are now going places they shouldn't. If I could find pants made for my legs, I'd be all over them.

Splurge. It's hard, though, because we women do tend to change shapes and sizes now and then.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
