Pants: I’ll take mine big and slouchy

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

I’ve been a dress girl for most of my life. I was blessed with a lovely pear shape (no shoulders, tiny waist, big ass) and pant shopping has always proven difficult. Needless to say, an a-line dress is my oldest friend and the clothing item with which I am the most comfortable.

But in the past year or so, I have really begun to embrace the pant (mainly due to the pant creations of Rachel Comey and Vanessa Bruno, with which I am completely obsessed). Make ‘em big, make ‘em slouchy, cover ‘em in a bold print, or do all 3. The bigger and bolder, the better. Honestly, I’m finding that a great pant is maybe even better than a great dress…

My husband really hates the majority of my pant choices and I definitely get some looks on the street; but the way I look at it, I’m usually accentuating my 2 biggest assets: my waist and my personality. Bring on the crazy pants. I am definitely not afraid to rock ‘em!

The start of a new season is always such an exciting time of the year….not Christmas, but close ;)  It’s so much fun seeing the new trends hit the stores and hit the streets!  Fall is unfolding with the most amazing pieces!  We love all the cozy knits, the incredible outerwear, but our favorite item of this season has to be the amazing pant.  The amazing pant is taking on some new (wearable!) shapes and in a wide variety of fabrics & prints.  Here is just a sampling of what to look forward to….are you ready?

How fitting! This is a drawing from my daughter, Kit, when she was 6 yrs old. It hangs in our studio. My favorite is the pant with the built in belly button!

Check out The Shop.  Amazing pants arriving daily!!
