Heh, She Said "Pants" Week - Polka Dots (and A Couple of Other Outfits)

Sorry for the delay - Pants Week wasn't quite done. As you can see, I saved the most fun pair for last:
Yep, those are navy blue satin polka dot trousers. With pink polka dots. And pink trim on the cuffs.

Check out the back:

They were $18 at Dots (I had a coupon) regular $59.99 Dots price. As they're Noa Noa, I'm sure the regular retail was even higher.

I did them with my thin pink sweater (last seen here), and my fabulous Fluevog Listen Ups:

I last wore them here, for Fluevog-A-Day. Heh, guess whose tail that is?

I've also got my Smoking Lily obi on (this one), and I topped it with this cool jacket when I was outside:

I last wore the jacket here. I got a few "wow" comments on the pants, but I think most people just looked at me askance. Heh.

I know the pants look like pajamas, I know, but they are more like a throw-back to the mid- to late-90s palazzo pants (anyone remember those? I had floral ones!). Also, they do have a waistband and zippered fly:

As always, superb construction on the Noa Noa brand products. Look at that lovely waistband.

I wore some of my vintage jewelry:

My mom's bracelet and my grandmother's necklace.

After work on Thursday, I shopped for L's birthday presents, and then L and I headed down to the local pub for dinner. Although the Fluevogs were fine to wear around the office, they were not friendly to my feet for an extended shopping trip, so I changed for dinner:

Much better! This is my leather vest (last seen here), my plain cream sweater (last seen here), and my tiered flowy skirt, which I don't know if I've worn before here...I thought I had! Well. I got it a couple of months ago for $11.99 on clearance at the Bay. The shoes are my Kenneth Cole Reaction flat sandals. Love!

Vest (CAbi, consignment), sweater (Trina Turk, consignment), skirt (Jones New York), shoes (Kenneth Cole Reaction), bag (Matt & Nat, consignment).

On Friday, L did his annual day off for his birthday - Happy Birthday, love! We met up with Nick, Casey and Cat and wandered around town. It was lovely. We had breakfast out (with special coffee), drank some beers and ciders, played a little pool, met up with Caro and Ronnie, and were finally joined in the evening by Karen for drinks at a rooftop restaurant as the sun went down over the mountains. I vaguely recall going to bed at 2am.

Anyway, this is what I wore all day:

Comfy shoes again!

Jacket (Banana Republic, thrifted), t-shirt (Montmarte, Paris), jeans (Jackpot, gift from Caro), shoes (Kenneth Cole Reaction).

Today, we played Ultimate for two hours in the hot sun, then grocery shopped, and then cleaned house, as tonight is the big birthday party! I have a lovely dress that I bought last fall that I'll be wearing. Pictures tomorrow!

I'm off to array the food attractively. Have a wonderful weekend!
