Good day, Monday. It's pretty here in the city and though I missed my hubs this weekend who was in the throes of yet another new business pitch (agency life), I had loads of fun with a bestie of mine who just moved three blocks away. Though there's no substitute for one's husband, a gay man will always do, and very well. Add that to the fact that I so enjoyed everyone's updates about Easter and all the fun family time they had, so not a bad weekend even though I was more solo than usual.
So check it. I know it's April Fool's Day and such but I'm not kidding on this next item I'm coveting- the Eileen Fisher harem pant. Yea, Eilleen Fisher. She of my most intrepid growing older and dressing like it fears. But seeing these in a big ad in the NY Times yesterday had me at extreme drop crotch. I mean...they're fabulous.
I haven't tried them on and it appears they come in a silk crepe as well as a jersey version, but I can't think of a pant that screams weekend more than these homies. And as man repellant as a hammer pant can be, I can't help but fantasize about wearing this with perhaps a light leather jacket, tank, and sandals, or with a linen blazer and simple tank and a small wedge. I've always been a bit of a gypsy, so why should I not wear a pant suited for a harem?
And while I went on their site yesterday to check out these little genie like wonders, I was impressed with how many cool things there were to wear- everything from silk track pants to peplum jackets to some cute little shoes. Sweet Lord, what's happening to me? Suddenly the brand I've joked about all of these years is looking tots cute. Are ya pranking me Eileen cause it's April Fool's Day or do I need to give you a bona fide chance to grace my closet?
Regardless, I want these pants to loaf about in. To travel in. To have breakfast at the beach in. Yes please. True they may have a whole lot of room in them for those of us looking for something or somewhere to hide, but then again, with this big of a fashion statement, we're not really hiding from anything or anyone, are we? Ooh and I may take that little striped sweater too as pictured above. Love. But it's really all about the pants.
Sure this is a trend that already trended but I still dig the ease. I'm having them. You should too. But what I really want to know is- what's with this bacon flavored Scope? Is that shit for real? No way, right?
Cause that's what's up this not fooling anyone kind of Monday in the 212. X to the O.
