In with Bright Pants

First, I want to apologize for being MIA lately, and much thanks to Jules for posting always amazing and interesting outfits!! 

Today, I am in the mood for these bright color pants I scored from H&M back in December.  It's a brave day for me, as I love these pants, but was afraid it's a little too bright.  I had to get these pants, because they were last pair in store, and it was my size, they were originally $70, and was on clearance for $20, and I used the $5 store credits on top.  I was so excited for the deal, but more so because the quality of these pants were amazing, feels soft and high end.

Color of Wine

Today, I'm wearing many of my current favorite pieces, particularly because the colors are perfect for this time of year.  The colors remind me of red wine, which is a must at any holiday gathering! 

When I found these wine colored pants at Zara, I immediately fell in love with the the fit and comfort.  As I was looking for a top to pair it with, I saw my "grandma" blouse (last seen in this post) and thought, why not give it a try?   So here is another way to wear my "grandma" blouse.  What do you think?

Day & Nite

By: Mimi

I found this blouse on the clearance rack at Bloomies and was excited to pay 1/4 of the original price. I was shopping because I was killing time between work and dinner with my friends. Naturally, I showed the blouse to my friends at dinner, and it was totally vetoed. My friends told me to return it, as I supposedly didn't need to add a floral grandma shirt to my already overflowing closet. I refused to believe it was that bad, so the minute I got home, I tried different combos with this shirt, and here are two that I liked! I'll try out more combinations in the Fall.

• Blouse: Joie (on sale for $46 at Bloomingdales)
• White Shorts: Ali Ro ($40 at Sample Sale)
• Faux Leather Pants: Trouve ($35 at Nordstrom Anniversary Sale)
• Cream Crossbody Bag: ($70 at the street of Tokyo in Shibuya)
• Black Bag: Chanel Medium/Large in gold hardware
• Tan Sandals: Anthropology (on sale for $79)
• Black Sandals: Diane von Furstenburg ($129 at TJ Maxx)
• Necklaces: vintage
• Sunglasses: Vouge ($50 at Loehmann's)

What do you think??? Return or Keep?
