Boss Pink Pants

Well, here we are, nearly a week into my spring wardrobe, and I'm feeling really good about it. Dang, I have some fun clothes!

Exhibit A: these BOSS pink pants. And I don't mean Hugo Boss, I mean I am in charge!

• Blouse - Sisstrevolution; purchased here in Vancouver for $32.95
• Cami - not tracked
• Pants - H&M, consignment; purchased here that same day in Van for $28.00
• Shoes - Chie Mihara; last seen here in March with neoprene
• Coat (below) - BCBG Max Azria, thrifted; last worn here in October 2018

I had a lot of fun showing off my bigass boss pink pants at work today - they were so fun to wear! Very swooshy and billowy. I'm not used to wearing all that fabric around my legs.

"Try wearing fur sometime, Woman."

I really liked the cut and floaty sleeves of the top - the background of it is a pinky-brown, with pale pink spots. It isn't tucked in - that's an elastic waist there. Cropped top + a super-high waist = a match made in fashion heaven.

I wore a camisole for cleavage coverage, as well as for any lifting of the blouse. I picked a rust cami to bring out the warm tones in the blouse and keep the pants from looking too sweet or girly.

"You could just wear black and white like me. I match everything."

As the trouser legs are really long (I should probably get the pants hemmed at least an inch), I had to wear platform shoes - and these rusty-brown ones went perfectly with the cami.

"Are you still blathering on? What about me?"

The pockets are nice and deep. And yes, Vizzini did get cuddles.

Outerwear - it was chilly today, so I busted out this lovely cream coat that I love wearing in spring and fall. Scarf added for neck coverage and joie de vivre!

Two buttons popped off the coat (thank goodness for safety pins) and it seems in need of a wash, so I'll be doing laundry and a little sewing before I wear it again.

• Scarf - Ralph Lauren, consignment

If you were wondering how on earth I walked to work in such long pants, here's my secret: bulldog clips.

I gently folded the trouser cuff twice, then clipped one on the inside and one on the outside of each leg. It worked beautifully!

The stuff:

I just love these shoes - that's less than an inch heel, by net height with all that platform. I get to be tall and not kill my feet! Huzzah!

Tonal bling:

I really loved my whole colour palette today, mixing browns, reds, rusts with the bright candy pink.

• Belt - Shi Studio
• Buckle - Shi Studio, thrifted
• Choker - vintage 60s, Mom's
• Cuff - Renoir, vintage 60s, vintage expo

Have a wonderful weekend, my friends - thank you so much for stopping by! I'll be back on Sunday with tales of adventure.
