the outfit | blues...

With days of an exclusively black 'colour' palette behind me, I figured I'd spice it up...just a little. A tad. [Let's not get all excited and try to move heaven and earth here or revolutionize my westie-ness. That's just silly. And an exercise in false economy.]

I was feeling gutted [literally and metaphorically speaking] that I am now forced to choose between only 3 pairs of publicly acceptable pants due to my big ass belly [and big ass, let's give credit where credit is begrudgingly due]. One of these lifesaving-slash-ass-covering, sitting-below-belly-making-me-go-ahhh trousers, is my Sherie Muijs pair. I LOVE them: still. I don't know WHERE I'd be without them: probably huddled in the closest thing possible to the foetal position as I could crunch myself into or just rocking in a corner muttering wildly about the beastly elasticated panel top things parading as wearable maternity trousers tossed crazily over my face. I REGRET not getting a second pair in an alternative colour. Stoopid.

Digress alert.

I have been a strong advocate of the drop crotch [still cringe at that word but what alternatives are there? Gusset? Frontpiece?] trouser and will. until. the. day. I. die. Especially this particular pair by the Kiwi designer, Sherie Rae, with it's subtle check pattern in black [yay!] and navy blue. Which tied in rather well with the navy, charcoal, black [yay!] and offwhite colours in my hoody. Reversible. elbisreveR. Oh yeeeeah. I can hardly make up my mind on a good day, so being able to flip it back and forth satiates my refusal to commit, inability to make a decision AND can keep my neck warm whichever direction the wind is blowing. Beat THAT!

Pants= love.
Man shoes= love.
Reversible hoody= love.
Giant love fest with this outfit.
But enough talk.

NOTE #1: You can hate on the dropped-crotch/harem/poo-catching/man-repelling/hammer-pants-concoction all you like. Just wait till you get preggers. You'll be begging for a pair. You'll be hunting like a mad woman. You'll be grateful when they catch your little bundle whilst you're inevitably far away from the hospital and go into active labour. Gross. Sorry.

NOTE #2: Mens boots are freaking awesome to wear when it comes to comfort AND style. It's my new fing.

NOTE #3: Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner- why have I not gone there sooner? And only use with the Bobbi Brown brush.
