Are you a child of the 80's? I am! If you are, then you probably remember wearing Hammer pants (or at least laughing at people who did). Hammer pants, yes, as in M.C. Hammer. These aren't traditional Hammer pants (since they aren't tapered at the bottom), but they most definitely favor the 80's throwback trousers. Who would have thunk that 30 years later they'd be baaaack. I was in the nail salon last week and a girl came in wearing these pants. After staring at her for about 20 minutes, I finally asked where she got them. She told me that she got them about 3 months ago at Ivy & Leo (a little boutique in CLT, NC). I was pretty bummed, because boutiques don't usually carry many of any one item, and I was convinced that they would be gone by now. But, I was curious, so I drove there immediately after leaving the salon. I walked in 3 minutes before closing, went right to the pants rack, and (...cue dreamy music...) there they were. One left, and in my size. Clearly, it was meant to be. I got them on Friday and wore them out on Saturday night. Annnd, here I am again, wearing them again today. I can't be stopped. I love them.
Welcome to my personal style blog. My hope is that what you see from my closet inspires you to dig through yours to find new life in what you have and how you wear it. Of course what you have on doesn't define who you are, but it can make you feel better and sometimes all we need in order to do better, is to feel better. Friends often tease me by saying that I dress as if every day is a special occasion. To which I reply..."because it is".
