Weekend Casual OOTD

Alma Mater blazer from Anthro
J Crew Rosette sweater
Gucci wedges (in suede here)

Back in February I bought these chinos at J. Crew on major sale. They were about a size too big and way too long but I figured I would branch out from my comfort zone of printed dresses and skirts to try something trendy for a change. I knew I wanted to cuff them and wear them baggy so too big and too long fit the bill. The pants remind me of my favorite pair I wore to death in the 90s. Those were a steel gray color but the feel of them was exactly the same. They're slouchy and I am sure that my somewhat short, non-lithe body was not who they had in mind when they imagined people wearing slouchy chinos, but I enjoy doing something different now and then.

I LOVE THIS LOOK ON YOU. I think I've commented before about the jacket- I totally missed out on it- and it goes perfectly with the slouchy pants. Fun and serious at the same time!
