rose, rose, rose!!!

Hot pink!! Wow these pants are an eye catcher. And they caught my eye from across the street of one of my favorite local shops. This outfit was on the mannequin and I had to try it on. You love it, or you hate it. You love color, or you always wear black. Its ok, either is great.

For a super duper special evening (My 10th wedding anniversary) this was the outfit I chose. It's luxurious, these fabrics are so incredible to the touch and they are a joy to wear. And they are sooo different from anything out there I have seen. The cut, on the bias, is unique (which I've learned is difficult to make). The fit; perfect, flow-y, not tight, not overly baggy. It's a wonderful change for a nice dinner with a view of the city lights, where people still get dressed up to go out. It was such a breath of fresh air in this time of complete weirdness.

My shoes are a nice high heel slip on, taupe and neutral in color to not compete with the hotness of these pink pants. The heels do have a shiny gloss to them which makes them gorgeous on their own. I chose a vintage satin evening bag, which I have had forever, and wore minimal jewelry. I threw on this amazing jacket, made by the same designer as the pants, which is the most fun jacket ever! Very Holly Golightly-ish meshed with a lab coat. I wanted to twirl and sing. I will absolutely be pairing this coat with all sorts of items this fall/winter season. Again, great cut, fabric and details (pockets of course) which make this coat super unique.

The great thing about this outfit? I could eat! Nothing is tight, the pants are slip on elastic, they aren't sucking me in, yet skim the body perfectly, still showing shape and super elegant.

I am so happy to finally post this outfit as I have been waiting to wear it for the right occasion. It is special, and I love everything about it; color, uniqueness, different cut and fit, and locally designed...... it makes me happy.

And ladies, as we move into the holidays, do whatever you can to make yourself happy - if that means pulling out your favorite and most beautiful outfit to wear; shoes, sweater, dress, whatever - even at home with your family, do it.

Kisses to everyone! xoxo
