WIW -- Androgynous

Here they are, the love/hate pants. Having never posted a side view, I have realized these give androgynous dressing a whole new meaning.

Pictures 1 & 2 -- no matter how I stand, it looks like I have a package. Still keeping them though! This actually makes me laugh at myself.

3 -- today's outfit. The pants and jacket are so trendy, I'm taming the outfit by leaving off bling, wearing a simple white tee, and wearing an old, hand-made belt. (Thanks for the inspiration via Pinterest Angie -- it was your picture of the leather sweat pants and conservative top and coat that directed me here.)

Jacket: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....CH+RESULTS

It took me two weeks to air out the chemical smell, but I'm very happy with the fit and look of it. I actually think it looks better IRL than on the site. This is a size S.

    So cool! Love this!! The moto is great and I think the jeans are a lot of fun!

  • Angie replied 11 years ago

    For me it's love, love, love!! And so is the two toned topper.

    KILLER to the power of KILLER.

    There is no stopping your insatiable fabness Ms. Stunning Denise who rocks my style world.

    :)

    (Oh! Glad that my pinterest board inspired your outfit).

    Love the androgynous look! You pull it off wonderfully!

    That jacket is very cool, goes great with the pants.

  • Caro in Oz replied 11 years ago

    You had me at androgynous! You look fantastic & I love the neutrals together.

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    I was going to say K2 but Angie beat me to it!

    That is a fantastic outfit from head to toe! You look sensational!!!

    Love the jacket. Off to peruse the web.

  • annagybe replied 11 years ago

    ACK! SO FREAKING COOL! You styled it perfectly. I'm hoping and praying I can still find a pair after my SYC.

  • catgirl replied 11 years ago

    Could not love this more.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    HOLY CRAP!!! That jacket and those pants were made to be worn together.

    BTW hubby was just in here and when I gasped (yes...gasped) when I opened the picture he looked over my shoulder and promptly said "She's gorgeous and funky looking. I'd love to photograph her". (he's a photographer)

    You're looking lean and mean, andro-style, and I love it. Who makes these pants? I had to laugh at your comment above. Or, maybe you got a gift with purchase!

  • Ariadne replied 11 years ago

    So fab I have no words!

  • Marley replied 11 years ago

    I am dieing! This is just about the coolest outfit EVER! LOVE it! (And also, love your hair - it looks so pretty and feminine, which is great with this outfit!)

  • Kyle replied 11 years ago

    Beyond killer. UO should have you modeling that jacket. Don't know anything about the pants -- but they are fierce. And your styling decisions were all spot on. Goodness!

  • Janet replied 11 years ago

    Fantastic! Love that jacket so much.

  • Mo replied 11 years ago

    I love this on you! I'm surprised, as the pants weren't immediately my cuppa. And it's hard for me to see this as androgynous with your pretty hair and lovely make up to counter the masculine vibe.

  • Isis replied 11 years ago

    Put me in the LOVE camp! You are too cool!!!!! Could not be better; I am just speechless!

  • Jaime replied 11 years ago

    More LOVE! You have styled them perfectly in every detail. Even the belt! As for your profile, not that it matters, but you might appear less loaded while in motion, which is how most people will see you. You look amazing any which way!

  • Thistle replied 11 years ago

    You styled them perfectly! This outfit is stellar. You nailed fit, the right mix of everything, and it looks perfect without the bling.

    Love it even more with your hair down. Perfect!

  • MsLuna replied 11 years ago

    Love it!

  • Sveta replied 11 years ago

    Cool beyond believe! Who needs any bling with an outfit like this?

  • sarah replied 11 years ago

    Well, I was "meh" on the pants the first time around, but you've totally won me over now : )

  • kellygirl replied 11 years ago

    Had to log in because this is just so fab. I LOVE it. Awesome.

  • replied 11 years ago

    That first photo is the best of you I've ever seen! Love the pants and they way you've styled them. That moto is fabulous! They fit like my Skinny Little Brother jeans. Kind of a high rise, complete with package. It's a great way to hide my depends, lol! (Just kidding)

  • CocoLion replied 11 years ago

    Thank you ladies for all of the positive comments. And funny comments too -- Vicki and Claire, you crack me up.

    Shannon and Claire -- it is so kind of you to comment on the photos. I took time today to blow dry my hair, and am using a sample of a Clarins face lifting cream. Mostly I think I just got lucky with the angle.

    This loose butt/low crotch trend is very "breathable" and comfortable, especially after years of skinny jeans and fitted flares/boot cuts. I'm so glad I got the 25s, as these are stretching out a little. The wax coating feels like it's rubbing off really quickly, but that doesn't bother me in the least. I'm not sure I like the way wax coated jeans attract dust and pet hair.

  • Deborah replied 11 years ago

    Wow Denise this is a stunning look! The outfit is androgynous, but you look very feminine with your flowing hair and delicate features. And I just have to say how totally fab it is seeing this incredible outfit on a 'real person'! MInd you Denise, you could so be a model but the fact that you love and work in the real word, makes this outfit even more sensational.

  • Kat replied 11 years ago

    GORGEOUS!! Wow, wow, wow. Completely perfect in every way. You look amazing, love the outfit, you wear it so well, this is one of those times when the outfit is fantastic on its own, but when worn by you, YOU shine and it just looks like fabulous Denise. LOVE it!

  • Tina.b replied 11 years ago

    Denise I want to steal this entire outfit from you! Despite the package. That jacket is so perfect with the pants. Love how you kept the rest of the outfit simple, makes the statement pieces shine.

    So inspired by this. You look amazing!!!

  • ManidipaM replied 11 years ago

    Heavens, my comment didn't go through!

    Okay, Denise, photo #1 is just stellar. I had to pin it. NOT your everyday, jeans, jacket and boots formula. Something about the shapes really resonated with the vibe of your profile pic --- with the V-neck T-shirt for the vest of course. Epitome of androgynous chic!

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    <3 <3 <3!!!!!

  • rachylou replied 11 years ago

    I can't stand it, Denise. You are so gorgeously, fab and fashionable! I cover your jacket, and awesome long locks.

  • cciele replied 11 years ago

    Just WOW!

  • cinnamon fern replied 11 years ago

    Wow indeed!

  • replied 11 years ago

    Oh, Denise, you are the ultimate in cool! Love this. Your hair is looking especially lovely, too.
