Here is the polyvore of the outfit. I wore this to go to dinner and the movies...yes, I did. I truly believe that I must appear to every single one of you as that kind of crazy housewife/stay at home mom who really SPLASHES out anytime she leaves the house. Well, yep, it's true, and this outfit proves it. I mean, come on, sparkly Collection pants to go to a movie??? At least they are wool, and it was REALLY cold outside...so I must get some credit for at least getting the fabric choice right. ;)
Now, if I had to do it all over again, I would wear the pants to dinner, but not to a movie. Here's a secret, these babies are not stretchy and really kind of annoyed me about 1/4 way through the movie. Sigh. It isn't that they were too small or too big, no they fit, it is just that I think these pants were made for showing off, you know, clubbing, or some other late night activity (that only involves standing) that I didn't even bother participating in when I was 21, much less now, with the two babies.
Okay, I want to splash out, but next time, wear the pants for a two-hour block max. Otherwise you will regret it. Okay, noted, self. (And now I am talking to myself on my blog...yeah, please don't send in the specialists, not yet at least.)
Sizes (the polyvore has all the info on pieces):
Hoodie: Size Small.
Top: Size X-Small.
Pants: Size 10 (they fit the way J. Crew pants used to, back when I really was a 10...you know 2006...LOL).
Shoes: Size 10.
Have a great night, all. And if you own these pants, I warned you. ;)
You are too funny, LOL! A woman after my own heart in sparkly Collection pants going to the movies :) Oh, what we sacrifice to look good, and you look GREAT in that outfit!! I don't have those pants but I have other metallic jacquard pants so duly noted, two-hour block max.
ReplyDeleteI have the same pants. I love it, but unfortunately I wore it just once. I gained a few pounds and it isn't fit anymore......so depressed!
ReplyDeleteI think the pants look very cute on you!
Cute pants! Movie theater seating can be uncomfortable to begin with. But hey, you looked good!
ReplyDeletei love that you wore sparkly/dressy pants to see a movie! i'm a stay at home mom that has too much love for fashion to keep the fun stuff in the closet--you should see some of the get-ups i wear to my daughter's mommy&me classes! pencil skirts, sequins, heck i even put on a pair of heels last week!
ReplyDeleteyou look great! go for it! (tho' do make sure whatever you're wearing is comfortable!)
Hi, all!!! I am glad you enjoyed my tale of no comfort. It really was something trying to get comfy on the seats at the theater. At least the pants were lined!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for saying the outfit looked okay, I will be wearing the pants again, just in a more selective fashion!
Tiffany Rose: Ooh, I like those jacquard pants...they are beautiful. :)
The Outfit of the Day: I have now JUST fit into the pair I bought over a year ago. These are not the kindest pants in terms of weight fluctuations. :P Blegh. Heaven forbid I retain water one day and try to wear them...
Pamela: I am sure the darkened theater appreciated my making an effort. Heehee.
Anon.: YAY!!! I am not alone...I love pencil skirts for the "school run." My school run, amazingly, is almost all dads so I definitely am the most dressed up. I don't think the fathers get me...my hubby barely does and he lives with me. ;)
