Fancy Pants


I mean how could you not want to do this?

Sweater, Jumpsuit and clutch- Vintage, Flats- Deeny & Ozzy (Via Urban Outfitters), Cuff-Forever 21

I've had this brocade "evening" jumpsuit for a couple of years now--- I imagine some high society lady in the 60's with a top knot bun used to wear it with gold kitten heels while elegantly smoking a cigarette.  I decided to Aladdin-it-up and wear the piece with flats---The pant legs are HUGE! I love that it totally looks like you're wearing a dress at first until you do a little side kick and people get excited: "A jumpsuit-- no way!" (That was the reaction from Julie at Violet Boutique).  Walking pendulum style is mandatory :)
