I am a closet case.
A terrible shopper who spent $15,000 last year on clothes that are just short of boring. I'm over it.
I'm starting this blog to re-learn how to shop. I want to spend way less money on way better clothes. Establish my own style. Kick my junkie-like addiction to Banana Republic basics.
I think there are a lot of women out there like me, who might enjoy reading this and get something out of it. The rest of you...feel free to point and laugh.

Skinny chinos - Strike TWO!
What a blah way to start the week! I tried the chinos($60) again with a different top and still no go. Last time all the fabric on top felt too flowy with the loose fit of the chinos (where does the skinny come in, BR?) so this time I kept it simple. Paired with my Kimichi Blue embroidered blouse ($80) and Cole Haan ballets ($138). I think you can tell by the look on my face in the photo that I am unhappy. Blergh!
Any tips? How do you wear chinos?

I prefer last week. Chinos are a basic - like a little black dress, jeans a white T. They are meant to hide in the back ground while the attention is drawn to other fabulous clothes you're wearing.
ReplyDeleteThe top you're wearing today is pretty and the chinos are simple and unobtrusive. You just need to add something more to the outfit as just the two together aren't enough. Maybe a black jacket? Chunky jewelry?
The shape of your chinos are terrible....sorry. They should go. x
