Why Did You Wear That: Thigh High

By Kirsten|October 28th, 2010|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

When you think of thigh high boots, your first thought may be that of Julia Roberts a la Pretty Woman, but that’s a bit narrow minded, my friend. When not constructed of man made material, over the knee boots are quite sexy, yet still very chic. Pair them with your favorite pants or a flowy dress and you are going to be the prettiest woman in the room.

Why Did You Wear That: Night Rider

By Kirsten|October 19th, 2010|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

Ever just feel like not getting dressed? You’d rather just stay in your PJ’s and call it a day? Well, I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t do just that. I’m not talking about your flannel footed pajamas. I mean beautiful, well made nightgowns, chemises, and playsuits. Why shouldn’t your underwear be as pretty as your outerwear?

Why Did You Wear That: Romper Room

Man, there isn’t much I love more than a romper. It’s like an all in one outfit! What is a romper you ask. Here is the official “romper” definition:

A romper suit is a one-piece garment worn by children and sometimes women. Somewhat similar to a coverall, it is loose fitting and usually has shorter legs that may be gathered at the end. Puffed pants are particularly associated with rompers. Rompers usually are meant as a combination of shorts and a shirt, though the term can include jumpers, one-piece bathing suits, and clubwear fashions to name a few.

Thanks, Wikipedia!

Why Did You Wear That: What You See is What You Get

Do you remember playing peek-a-boo as a child? Oh, the olden days. When things were so much simpler and there was far less bullshit to deal with on a day to day basis. Sigh. Well, I’ve been channeling my inner five year old and decided that playing a little game of peek-a-boo with your clothing isn’t such a bad idea. I love unexpected sexy, but please take this one with caution and follow my suggestions explicitly. This is something that can go terribly awry and have you looking like a Jersey Shore reject if executed improperly. I’m loving sheer slouchy see through t’s as a comfy, yet sexy top with jeans. The trick is to pair it with a cropped cami or matching (tonal) bralette and keep it covered up on the bottom half.

And my shining take on the look:

DONE WRONG:

So don’t be afraid to give a little peek, but don’t give it all away like a live peep show.

Why Did You Wear That: Pajama Party

Ever have one of those days where you just wish you could leave your pajamas on and carry on as usual? Sigh. Me too. So, I got to thinking. Why wouldn’t I just leave on my pj’s? I think by now you’re probably well aware how I feel about shorts, so it should come as no surprise that I’ve managed to combine all of these things into something totally wearable. Pair some silky shorts with a slouchy t, high heels, touseled hair and some chunky gold jewelry for a just outta bed look that will have all the boys giving you bedroom eyes.
