Star Child

I'm dressed like a child today.  A giant child with mutinous thighs, but a child all the same:

Tee: Gap  Jeans: Old Navy  Boots: Nine West

I think it might be the red pants.  There is something, in my mind, inherently childlike about brightly colored pants.  Or, perhaps I just feel like a child because I'm pretty sure I would have rocked the hell out of this look as a child.

I don't think pairing my bright red jeans with a star print tee helped matters much either:

But, I had to wear this tee.  Because today's pattern for the Behind the Leopard Glasses Daily Pattern Challenge is stars and this is the only star print item I own.  

And I had to pair it with these earrings because when else are you going to wear star earrings if not with your star tee and your kinder pants?

But the pants.  Did I have to wear these pants?  Well, no, I guess not.  But, school started this week and I think the abundance of small children in their bright pants influenced this look.  Yes, that it.  It's the children's fault.

The children made me do it.

Pro Tip: When in doubt, blame the children.

Happy Friday, All!

Pencil Midi & A Bomber

Today's post was inspired by Angie's post on midi pencil skirts & bombers on You Look Fab the other day.  I think I was most inspired by this idea because I actually own a pencil midi and a bomber jacket and I figured I may as well wear them together.  So I did:

As you can see, my bomber "jacket" is actually a cardigan:

But that put this look more into my comfort zone.  I can't image I'd get as much use from, say, a satin or leather bomber jacket.  And, I honestly think the silhouette is what matters with this look, not the fabrication.

And I think I got the silhouette right:

The shoes might be a bit heavy, but I'm obsessed with these darned Splendid boots and plan on wearing them whenever possible until it gets up to about 80.  You've been warned.

Happy Thursday, All!
