126 women wearing pants

[chanelesque]

2 October 2008- as a skirt and dress girl through and through, it has been many years since i last wore pants not because i was compelled to out of sheer necessity (think holidays in cold countries and backstage duties during drama productions), but as a fashion statement.

oooh i love your gathered collar top and the bow hairclip!they're so exquisite!

[chanelesque]

yay :) it's good to hear from you again.
the problem with the bow is that the bottom parts are dark brown, so they don't stand out against my hair and other people can only see the top part of the bow from afar.

haha i'm awfully tempted to buy myself a leather satchel/saddle bag thingum, but then there's this lovely pair of dull yellow kid leather gloves i want and this karen millen dress...

you're awfully lucky to 1. have a mum who can make clothes for you 2. be able to make your own clothes :DD

the front of your blouse is lovely, but i prefer the kate spade one where the pleated collar climbs down the back entirely - yours ends a little too abruptly i think, but it's certainly more practical and maintains its shape better. i like the pants though! but i agree that they're tricky to wear.

hello geri, i don't know how any of the three things look like but my first thought is get the leather satchel! you can still use it in warm countries, but gloves no. and i think you'll probably use the bag more often than wear the dress.

i agree with your comment about the blouse. my mum said the collar was very hard to make and her estimations for the back turned out insufficient in depth, width and length. we didn't have a photograph of the top from the back too, just the side, so it was mainly speculation about how the rest looked like.

i don't think i'm making anything this holidays :D a little lazy. i'm in hong kong now.

hello hun

1 Your Mum is fantabulous/ a genius
2 Hello, your thighs are so not thick (i think the bell bottom pants are lovely)
3 WHAT FLAWS?!
4 Gawd i love the top :)

Re: hello hun

1 i think so too.
2 my thighs are bearable only and only if i wear heels ;)
(psst i don't think bell bottoms is the right word for these pants. bell bottom pants refer to those elvis presleys that flare out at the bottom, like a bell.)
3 flaws = proportionately longer upper body. it is very hard to find pencil skirts and jeans or trousers that fit me because of that.
4 thank you! love it too :)
