Going Wide

As I mentioned on my post over at Already Pretty last Sunday, one trend I'm super excited for this season is wide-leg pants.  I've been thrifting culottes for years, but it's still nice to see a bigger selection of wide legs in the regular retail world.  Wide legs like this pair here:




I love these pants.  I know they aren't very flattering and that the cropped length with the high waist is an unusual silhouette, but I like that about them.


That's right; I like that they aren't very flattering.  Because, some days, I don't care to have my figure flattered.  Some days, I just like to wear weird shit.  You know, to confound the natives.


Now, is this outfit actually that weird?  I don't think so.  I think what it actually is, is very specific.  The silhouette of the pants, the cut of the shoes, the blobby print of the blouse:


Yes, blobby is the technical term.


And yes, it it all makes for a very specific look.  And yes, sometimes the natives mistake specific for weird.  And no, I don't care.


Blouse: LOFT (similar)  Pants: Ann Taylor
Belt: v. old Macy's (similar)  Shoes: Summit White Mountain "Brinley"


Because, I'll tell you what, Reader Friends.  I am here for the wide-leg silhouette.  One hundred percent.


Happy Wednesday, All!
