Crazy Texas weather strikes again! Even though it was over 80 degrees yesterday, today we’re back to temperatures in the 50s. Good thing I hadn’t packed away all of my winter wear yet! These paperbag pants actually needed one more good whirl before they went into hibernation.
I love wearing these pants mostly because they force me to be creative. They’re definitely outside of my comfort-zone and it takes me almost twice as long to get dressed, but I usually love the results! These pants have taught me that the best way for someone petite to wear baggy pants is by cuffing the bottom so that it hits just above the ankles. It’s amazing how it tapers the leg and showing a little ankle never looked so sexy. 🙂
Since I had nothing to speak of as far as accessories yesterday, I had to work extra hard to recover today. For me, there’s no better way of doing going bold than with a large statement necklace. Hope you enjoy the boob shot.
In non-fashion news, I’m wearing hot pink lipgloss! It’s called Malibu Barbie. I kinda feel like I’m 12 again. 🙂
P.S. In case you missed it:
- Color Brigade Vol 11 – Are you ready for Vol 12 of the Color Brigade? Link up starting Monday night (post will be live around 9-10pm)!

You look great! I have a similar pair of pants and also find them a little more challenging to style. This outfit may have inspired me 🙂

I bought it online actually back in January. They still have a brown/gold version online, but the pink one isn't available anymore unfortunately. Not sure if it's still in stores, but worth a shot! Maybe call and ask beforehand?

One of my fave looks on you so far – from head to toe. Absolutely lovely.
oomph. says
i always had trouble with the paperbag-type shorts and pants, but i really wanna give them another try. i think i would have more success with a thicker material like this tweed. nice ensemble!

I love these photos! It's nice to get a break from your rooftop 😉 Not that your rooftop isn't lovely or anything, but I like these photos a lot (as well as the ones from yesterday) – Did Adrian take these?
And you sure can rock the paper bag pants. You look darling!
Kileen says
Yes, these photos are courtesy of Adrian! He has such an artistic eye, doesn't he? 🙂 Unfortunately the only time he can help me take photos is on the weekends, but I'll take what I can get!
Melissa says
Who doesn't love a good boob shot? 🙂
Those pants are absolutely incredible on you! They're out of my comfort zone too but if I was allowed to wear them to work, I would definitely try them out. You look amazing! I love the pink necklace with the blue stripes too.
And Malibu Barbie lipgloss?! Fun!
