Hey guys! I figure this is overdue, and I'm really interested in procrastinating writing a paper for my class on "interpersonal communication" Interpersonals don't communicate!! What a crock of shit!!!!
SO at any rate, I hate everybody. BUT I LOVE CLOTHES! On that note, here's what I got for you today. I got shit about harem pants and some funsies for spring in the general sense. No fashion show review today, just because I don't have anything to say about anything because I haven't seen anything particularly worth sharing with all you darlings. SO YAY! MORE TEACHES!


SO Firstsies! Lets talk about harem pants!

SO here's the thing. They can be super glam! or just really awkward and unflattering. SO here's my rules. Stay away from anything too long, or slouchy if you're short. If the crotch of the pants are between your legs, you will look shorter, so only do this if you are tall or don't mind looking shorter. Also, avoid pairs that have too much fabric between your legs. For reals, they can make you look like you're wearing a diaper if you're not careful. If you feel like you are bottom heavy, don't sweat it. You can still wear these pants, just make sure that the whole outfit makes you look hourglass. These trousers look great with a slim cut blazer or shell. The best way to wear them is to avoid voluminous blouses, jackets sweaters etc. when you've got so much volume in you're pants. They're kind of like bubble skirts in that respect. Style wise, here's my opinion, I think that the ones made from sturdier fabric are more interesting. Things that might be considered menswear fabric. They're also more business appropriate, and more wearable. But the drape-ier ones and the ones made from bright fabrics are great too. Just be careful to avoid things that will look to MC Hammer-ish.

In the above outfit, what I did was pair the slightly voluminous pants with a menswear style denim button down, the intention being that the shirt be tucked in to the pants. The pants nip in below the waist to create an hourglass with the volume of the shirt, and the boxy jacket lends an air of femininity and timeless class to the outfit. I kept the accessories very streamlined, with the exception of necklaces intricate details, to accentuate the simplicity of the outfit. Red lipstick and matching nail polish lend a forties air to the outfit, and to top it all off, The fun trench, which I thought, was a great way to add some color to this outfit. Overall the look is classic, strong and totally work appropriate.



Now if you haven't noticed, spring is just around the corner, and the prospect of this is a little sad for me, here in the hell hole known to all of you as Arizona. You see this means it won't be long before all the girls here are only wearing tiny jean cut-offs with holes and their butts hanging out with too short, unflattering tank tops and flip flops. So If you live in a place where humans were intended to live. You know, one of those places where spring lasts for a quarter of the year and not just a week, then have I got some cute inspiration outfits for you.

So for this first look my intention was to play with khakis. Khaki is a really great neutral for spring, and as long as you stay away from khakis that are more taupe then tan, you'll be great!! Now what I did here was I took this fabulous dress, and pulled some bold colors out of it, the red orange cardigan, and the slate blue oxfords were great choices. for this. Additionally I chose to introduced the lime green in the eyeshadow (intended sort of as a sheer highlight and not as a bold lid) and and whimsical pear earrings for some extra freshness. These tights go great with this dress,a s they add a little sparkle to the outfit. Sheer lip gloss and opalescent nail polish make take this casual look to a much more sophisticated level, while some delicate necklaces and a casual brown purse finish things off for this outfit, and create a great outfit for nice lunch with the girls.

Here we took this great teal dress and paired it with a cute little embroidered sweater. Rough, unpolished rings and a warm gold charm bracelet lend the look to a more earthy place. Brown casual oxford flats are ideal for walking around in, while this chocolate purse perpetuates the folksy look of the ensemble. The same shimmering tights as before make this outfit appropriate for a day in the park.

This outfit's Native American feel, brought on by the earthy colors and turquoise and coral jewelry is ideal fro spring. This blouse, intended to be tucked into these high waisted shorts, has bold colors that will make you a knockout this season. The cobalt belt and purse are an unexpected and bold addition to this outfit. Python heals are add polish. The forest green and terracotta eyeshadow palate and deep red lipstick is a dramatic and thoughtful way to finish. Trading in these stylish shorts for some wide leg trousers takes this look from casual Friday to a much more business friendly tone.

The bold colors in this outfit compliment one another for a very preppy weekend look. The silk jacket adds polish. Light colored makeup and sweet feminine jewelry are the perfect feminine counter to the sportiness of the skirt and purse. The youthful pink of this shirt is modernized with the asymmetric ruffle. This is the perfect weekend outfit for a day when anything is possible.



Now i know what you're all thinking. "this isn't the fashion blog I'm used to! Everything is so girly and light and sweet! WHAT'S HAPPENING!?!?!?!?" Well, spring does that to a person. But I'm still me, so here's what I know you've all been looking for.

Now this is the Zach that you are all used to. Dramatic and strong, The contrast of the sharp black blazer and tough strappy peep toes with the bright yellow dress is enough to make any one's jaw drop. Bold badass jewelry and raspberry lipstick make this look a showstopper for a night out man hunting this spring. And it's classy enough that girls won't hate you. They might be a little afraid of you though.


Lastly. Since I hate everyone, I'm not gonna bother with a spotlight on a real person's style. Fuck that noise. Or something. Mostly I don't have time. And or I don't care.
so there's that



THAT'S MY SHOW THANKS FOR WATCHING.

    I'm really into the khaki looks you posted. super cute. actually, they're all pretty cute.

    harem pants are a little "much" for me, I'll be real. but I do like the ones with the bow. and the metallic ones.

  2. Dear Zach,

    Post again soon. What's in for summer in "places where humans intended to live"? And if you have time, what colors should I wear?

    Love,
