Wide Leg Pants

By -
This past September, I was lounging on my couch flipping through pictures from New York Fashion Week with psychotic glee. Between the macrame bikinis and granny panty "shorts" was a most beautiful sight: wide leg pants. They are part of the 70s revival we'll see this season, but we always think of wide leg pants as Katharine Hepburn pants. Insert comment about love and comfort and swish. Now, onto shopping!Top: sailor pants, ASOS $53.79
grey work pant, Old Navy $32.50
olive pants, Anthropologie $138
Bottom: pale beige stripe, New York & Company $34.95
tie-waist work trouser, Nordstrom $148
brown pleat swishy pants, Top Shop $90

Of course, the two I like best are from Anthropologie and Nordstrom. Darn expensive taste.

I'm very excited. Last year I bought wide leg sailor jeans, but haven't been able to wear them for their need of hemming. If I throw them at my sewing machine, they will magically fixify and BOOM! pants.

Retro Shoes

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

Sweet Sleep Bra

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble, it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink, rose and black, or grey and black, but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties, however, is still laughable.

The Horror: Crochet Coverup

By -

To be completely upfront, I'm not a fan of crochet anyway. It always reminds me of a hanging planter my mother preserved from the 70s. This crochet dress by All Saints may be cool layered over a body con dress, but it's absurd as a swimsuit coverup. First of all, it doesn't cover anything. Second, it will leave weird tan lines. Third, it's $75. You should know in the midst of your eye rolling that this $75 beach coverup is half off the original price of $150.
How do you feel about this item as a coverup vs. as a dress? How do you feel about crochet in general? What would you pay for a swimsuit coverup? (I wouldn't pay more than $10 for something fun at Goodwill.)
