I was going for a more sophisticated look with this outfit. I always enjoy trying new things and putting together outfits no matter what the occasion. Sometimes trousers suit my mood, especially when I get sick of wearing black opaque tights. These Missoni pants are very thick and warm and extremely well made. They are not the most flattering pants in the world, but I really don't care. They are quite comfortable. The print is pretty wild of course and would definitely make a man wonder what the hell you are wearing. I was wondering if this outfit would repel a man, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I got the pants off the Outnet for a bottom barrel price as usual and they have little zippers at the ankles, but I left them zipped up for now and tucked into the ankle straps of my Alaia platform sandals. You have seen me wearing Missoni flare pants before on Fashion Snag that had more of a seventies vibe.
I paired the printed Missoni knit bottoms with a Karen Zambos Vintage Couture silk camisole in green. This top has been hanging in my closet since 2009 with the tags still attached and I am glad it finally got to see the light of day. It is a beautiful green color, totally on trend for spring. It was soft and luxurious and I layered it with my favorite Only Hearts lace bralette. The Tracy Reese leather jacket complete with crawling ivy embroidery was a piece I snagged off Gilt Groupe back in 2009 during a final sale. It is an absolutely gorgeous jacket and it also has zippers at the sleeves that you can unzip. I love this jacket, but I never found the perfect outfit for it to go with until now. It is lined in silk and the lining itself is so pretty. Tracy Reese really makes nice leather jackets. The color is different from anything in my closet as well. I hope you like the outfit as it is a step outside of my usual comfort zone, but I like to experiment all the time.
I just realized that the colors in this outfit are perfect for Easter!
