Why Did You Wear That: Is That a Mirror in Your Pants…?

By |June 15th, 2010|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

party-in-my-pants-costumeYou know I like nothing more than a party in my pants, so it should come as no surprise that I’m a big fan of shiny pants.  We used to associate sequins with tragic prom dresses and Liza Minelli, but now sequins can be worn “just because.”  Dress down your sequins with a casual tee and heels and dance the night away. Why shouldn’t you be the life of the party?

You may wonder why I have not included a sequin top in my picks… it’s because they actually give me heartburn. I’m all about sequins in an unexpected pop, not as a blaring disco ball across your chest. You can have too much of a good thing.

Why Did You Wear That: Get it Shorty

I mean, it may have something to do with how liberating it was to have my own personal pants off dance of this past Saturday (read: I ditched my skinnies and skirts for some tiny shorts), but I’m really feeling for short shorts right now. Therefore, I’ve compiled some of my favorites that you can buy RIGHT now!

Dress them up. Dress them down. Shorts can easily transition from day to night simply by switching out your flats for sky high heels and adding some accessories. Dresses are sweet, skirts are pretty, but shorts are sexy and fun.

**Warning: remember that not every trend is for everyONE. I would probably steer clear of the short shorts after 35. It really isn’t age appropriate. Also, if you haven’t seen the inside of the gym in quite some time, probably not for you either. No reason to subject us to your juicy jiggles.
