The Harlow Pant

 Since I am now in my Diane Keaton Style Era, there is a trouser silhouette that's been on my radar. Madewell's the Harlow Pant . I first read about these trousers here back in February but hadn't pulled the trigger on buying. Instead, I've finally gone to the source (Madewell at Ross Park Mall ) to try on IRL...  trousers , sweater , dress --Madewell, t-shirt- For Days , flats- Allbirds The last pic belies my love of blue stripes... But what do we think? I'm not sure the cut of these trousers is all that flattering on me. I'm not loving them, but I am intrigued by them. I like that I can wear them with flats vs the wide-legged pants that require heels if not hemming.  But again, how flattering are these pants? Is this a pass? I do find myself attracted to this silhouette when I see it online, and out in the wild, but I just don't think it serves me, even though it gives high Keaton vibes.  I didn't end up buy any of the pairs I tired, but I did pick up ...

Diane Keaton Era

What a summer it has been. Busy, hectic, and hot since school let out. And between work, day camps, and trying to soak in all of the summer fun I feel I'm finally old enough now to begin my Diane Keaton Era!  Hats, trousers, button-downs galore!  Shirt & Hat--Old Navy( here and here ), Trousers--Boden(similar here and here ), Sandals--Marc Fisher via Nordstrom (similar here and here ), Sunnies-- Diff Eyewear , Bag--Fossil(similar here ) This shirt is actually part of matching set with shorts, but it perfectly pairs with these blue linen trousers, a purchase from last summer. The black buttons on these pants dictated the black accessories for a very chic feeling outfit. I say feel versus look, because I was definitely feeling my chic self in this outfit.  I'm enjoying more coverage, even with this hot hot summer.  Obviously fabric is key, I probably be living in linen from now until mid-September.
