Outfits of the Week: Pants! Edition

I am trying to wear more pants. I don’t know, people. Tell me, am I failing at pants?

Helmet: Top Gun!; Shirt: Ruche; Jeans: Madewell; Flats: TOMS.

I really, really love these jeans, but it might also have to do with the fact that they fit. It turns out I’ve been wearing jeans that are, uh, two sizes too big. I appreciate sizing that uses real numbers, not “6,8,10, 12″ garbage. THAT MEANS NOTHING TO ME. Madewell sizes in inches. Yay!

Pants: Boden; Tank: Loft; Sweater: Gap

Meh. Meh? Meh.

 Top: Ruche; Cords: Loft; Necklace: Forever 21

I’ve never bought anything but jewelry from Forever 21, and I think even that might be too much.

Top and Mister Rogers Sweater: Madewell; Skirt: thrifted

Another thing I was buying in a too big size? Bras. Underwear. I feel much better even if I’m wearing a smaller size than most training bras. Thanks a lot, breastfeeding.

Jeans: Gap; Top: Boden.

Another meh. MEH. MEH SQUARED. MEH to the nth degree.

 Cords: Loft; Top: Target; Sweater and flats: Gap

Oh hi, this is the worst outfit ever. It either makes me look like I have saggy boobs or an extra fluffy tummy, both of which I DO, but I don’t appreciate my clothing pointing it out for me. This shirt went straight to the Goodwill pile, and I wrote on my forehead in permanent marker: Thou Shalt Not Peplum.

    Stupid breastfeeding. I used to have perfectly adequate boobs. On the large size, even. Now I can’t find any cups small enough in my band size. I probably *will* be going to the training bra section soon.

    (Also, I continue to love the pink pants.)

    You’re not failing at pants – actually the coral ones are my favourite on you

    I really like the Madewell jeans and that blue Boden top. I believe I already have expressed love for the coral/pink pants and pink stripey shirt. You’re definitely passing Pants 101.

    My favorites are 1, 2, and 5. (I’m skipping 4, because it’s a skirt, although I like it.) I think you did well! Of course, who am I to say? I’m wearing my pajama bottoms these days.

    I hate finding jeans that fit my hips and can. Yours look AMAZING.

  7. Kathy says:

    Thanks to you I now have 5 pairs of jeans in my Madewell cart. Which ones to reject?
    You look great in all the outfits and I disagree with you on the peplum – I think that outfit is adorable on you!

    Yes breast feeding reduced me to aa… Which means after this stint I’ll be left with nipples and nothing else. I think you rock the pants.
