On this past trip to France (oops, I promised on my Friday blog post that it would be my last mention of France) overseas, there were two trends that I kept seeing everywhere on every fashionista.
The first trend was the long vest, also known as the sleeveless waistcoat and/or the boyfriend vest.
I scored mine from Zara… and I love it!
Others vests that you members of the Fashion Club might consider:
<<< Navy >>> <<< White >>> <<< Pink >>> <<< Black >>>
ME LIKEY this trend so much, I also purchased this light blue chambray one.
Super glad that I did because this color vest is currently VERY popular (mine is already sold out) I spent hours on the net scouring for another one. Click here, if you’d like a similar (and inexpensive) version for yourself.
Whew ~ I almost missed out on this color vest which would be…like…TRAGIC.
Now, the other trend that was seen on every European Beauty was the drop-crotch pant.
<<< Barbara I. Gongini Pants >> > <<< Rick Owens Pants >>>
That’s right, the drop-crotch pants. Every time I turned around, there they were ~ and they really did look great on some gals.
But I am simply pretending that I …never…even…saw…these…pants…and…
…telling everyone that I am, of course, 100% on trend for the season.
Because what would really be tragic is me in some crazy pair of MC Hammer pants.
I’d stick with the vest
All trends come back, even bad ones. I’m giggling as I admit that I scored some of those pants in Europe in 1986. Alas they didn’t seem as cool when I came back to the States, nor so they now.
Ohhh… the thought makes me shiver!
Yay!!! Vests are “in”!! Love your pics!!
Vest looks very elegant with the low shoulder top. The pants can stay in France!
I love the way you paired the vest with an off-shoulder top underneath–very clever–and it really WORKS !
I think crotches need all the help they can get, and having their pants drop out from under them is not doing anyone any favours.
The vest is terrific. But I’ll keep my crotch right where it is, thank you.
HA!!! Thanks for the morning cackle!
Love that the vest is on trend! It’s funny…some of the US showrooms were pushing the drop crotch pants. I laughed and said can’t touch it!
What about those “HOT” espadrilles !!! Way cute!
Gravity is doing its job dropping enough body parts – we don’t need dropped crotch pants. Love the vest and LOVE Zara.
