Full shot of the crazy pants! — a.k.a. the Skinny Ankle Jean in Canvas Boa.
They’re by Current/Elliott, and just like a real boa constrictor’s belly, they stretch.
That’s my favorite thing about ’em. They’re stretchy, and very forgiving when I’m feeling bloated…or when I’ve “accidentally” partaken of one too many free cheesecake samples at the Tuesday night farmers’ market, whoops!
But even though they’re stretchy, they don’t stretch out so much that they’re hanging off my butt by the end of the day.
Score! 🙂
I found this pair on sale last month at Hautelook. They’re not on sale there right now, but I did see them (unfortunately, full price) at Revolve Clothing and Bergdorf Goodman.
SINCE THE PATTERN IS KINDA LOUD, I usually try to keep the rest of the outfit simple, like with a loose-fitting white tee. This one’s by Caslon, the Nordstrom house brand, and here’s another one that’s similar.
Here I’m also wearing the shirt with a gray Band Oh underneath, and for accessories, a stack of silver bracelets/bangles and a pair of black platforms/sandals.
This pair of Michael Kors platforms was my birthday present to myself last year, but here’s a pair of black sandals by Fergie that I think would also totally work with this outfit (and they’re on sale now for $44.90 after 50% off).
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. Wow, it’s almost 9 o’clock already?! How’d that happen?
What are you up to tonight? Okay, I have 5 minutes before Tuttimelon closes… I wonder if I can make it.
Drat! Probably not.
Love them! I am going to the Current Elliott sample sale tomorrow in LA. Hope there are some good deals 🙂
Hi Lauren,
NICE! I hope you got some great deals. 🙂
You look lovely! And that hottie next to you gives a nod of approval to the pants :).
You know what they say — the husky tabby makes the outfit! 😀
I love in the first photo, Tabs was clearly checking out your shoesl
Hi Bing,
LOL! He’s all about the accessories. 😉
Have a great weekend!
I love this look – the top is simple which makes way for the bold pants! 🙂
The photos are stunning too. Is that where you live? Gorge!

Hi Rene,
Yup, it’s my living room, aka Tabs’ room. 😉

Thank you, Gio! 🙂
Love this! The pants look really nice on you, I love the heels, and that husky tabby lounging around 🙂
The husky tabby makes the outfit! 😉
Love that outfit!
Thank you, Vonvon! Have a great weekend!
You look so young and fresh!
Thanks, Tirza!
I want the Current and Elliot gray leopard print skinnies
Hi Amanda Val,
I like that pair too! Very cute. They have a really cute print that’s like a gray-toned floral… have you seen it?
This is definitely my kind of outfit–very simple and comfy yet cute. You look gorgeous! (as usual)
Hi Becca,
Thank you! 🙂 How was your Friday? Good, I hope!
I really love this part of your house Karen! And also HAPPY BIRTHDAY xxx
Hi Marina,
Thank you! It’s my favorite spot too.
Hope you had a wonderful Friday!
This looks very comfy! What I love the most though is the room! Look at that view and all that light!
Hi Zuzanna,
Yeah, that’s my fave spot in the place. It’s Tabs’ nap area. 🙂
The whole outfit is very cool and I especially like the pants. Sorry I didn’t get to check in yesterday but Happy Birthday! I hope you had a great one! 🙂
Hi Kim,
You’re not late! It’s tomorrow. 🙂 Thank you for the wishes though… I’ll take ’em!
GIIIIRRRRL those shoes are way hot! I’ve been spending most of my shoe fund on Comme Il Faut tango shoes – they’re like the loubies of the Tango world. I have a problem with stilettos.
Thanks! 🙂 They’re surprisingly really comfy.
Ooh, Loubies of the Tango world. I love that! Do you have a pair that you absolutely love? Please share!
I LOVE this outfit — id totally rock the crazy pants! Plus, you have the best accessory — a cute kitty!
The huskier the kitteh, the better! 🙂
Hope you had a nice Friday! What are your plans for the weekend? Tomorrow I’m going to brunch with the fam in San Francisco. Then we’re probably just going to hang out in the city. Fingers crossed that it will be a sunny day.
We took Friday off and we just mucked around – nothing too demanding. We had Malaysian food for dinner.
Saturday is another lazy day but we are actually going out at night – which is a rare occurence. We are meeting the Hubs’ cousin and a couple of friends for dinner.
Happy happy birthday! You totally deserve nothing but the best day today and always!
love crazy things…..and your platforms karen!!…belated-happy b’day..
My birthday is tomorrow! Thanks for the well wishes, Antara!
It’s so funny, I actually remember the shoes from your post last year. It’s like we’re all old friends on here, love it :).
