Crazy Texas weather strikes again! Even though it was over 80 degrees yesterday, today we're back to temperatures in the 50s. Good thing I hadn't packed away all of my winter wear yet! These paperbag pants actually needed one more good whirl before they went into hibernation.
I love wearing these pants mostly because they force me to be creative. They're definitely outside of my comfort-zone and it takes me almost twice as long to get dressed, but I usually love the results! These pants have taught me that the best way for someone petite to wear baggy pants is by cuffing the bottom so that it hits just above the ankles. It's amazing how it tapers the leg and showing a little ankle never looked so sexy. :)
Since I had nothing to speak of as far as accessories yesterday, I had to work extra hard to recover today. For me, there's no better way of doing going bold than with a large statement necklace. Hope you enjoy the boob shot.

Oh, I totally know what you mean by adverse weather. LOL over at NC there is a possibility of having winter weather tomorrow. WTHECK. Adore those paperbag pants and I totally wish I owned a pair that fits as well as yours do!
I bought it online actually back in January. They still have a brown/gold version online, but the pink one isn't available anymore unfortunately. Not sure if it's still in stores, but worth a shot! Maybe call and ask beforehand?
um this might be my fave outfit yet! love the pants and the striped top. pretty, pretty!!
I know I'm late to the party, but the bangs - I love them! They look fantastic on you, Kileen. Great call!
Love the little pops of pink here - it really makes the outfit very feminine. Adore. :)

I love your bangs!and your tee!
One of my fave looks on you so far - from head to toe. Absolutely lovely.
i always had trouble with the paperbag-type shorts and pants, but i really wanna give them another try. i think i would have more success with a thicker material like this tweed. nice ensemble!

great deals when they have a sale. definitely keep an eye on their online
store as you can still shop LOFT online! :)
lovely !! I love all the bracelets and the necklace.
I had to check, and though I forgot I'd already checked it, I was greeted with unfortunate news again. No international shipping to Canada :(
Love the bangs!! You look beautiful :)

I love these photos! It's nice to get a break from your rooftop ;) Not that your rooftop isn't lovely or anything, but I like these photos a lot (as well as the ones from yesterday) - Did Adrian take these?
And you sure can rock the paper bag pants. You look darling!
Yes, these photos are courtesy of Adrian! He has such an artistic eye, doesn't he? :) Unfortunately the only time he can help me take photos is on the weekends, but I'll take what I can get!
Who doesn't love a good boob shot? :)
Those pants are absolutely incredible on you! They're out of my comfort zone too but if I was allowed to wear them to work, I would definitely try them out. You look amazing! I love the pink necklace with the blue stripes too.
And Malibu Barbie lipgloss?! Fun!
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
You look delightfully feminine. Very pretty.
This is a good inspiration. Stripes and trousers are for the win! :)
Kileen! You are too stinking cute! I love this outfit and the new bangs look awesome! Welcome to the club!
