old man pants

i have been on a hunt for the perfect pair of old man pants for several years now. as far as thrift stores finds go, they rank up there with the always elusive perfect leather jacket. i finally found a pair that are workable. they are obviously too big in the waist, but work well paper-bagged with a belt (without a belt they fall down around my ankles. haha). plus, i really like the shape, they are just baggy enough.

i am still playing around with them though and searching for the perfect top/cardigan/jacket combo to wear on top. so far, i am really pleased with my old guy purchase.

Or how to make blow a wind of classy casualness !!! And I really like the stylish mix with such "fetishissimes" black sandals, the exquisite contrast between their arrogance and your pretty fashionista's feet . . .

A Bientôt, Antoine
