Camp Patton: Open to Interpretation

27 March 2013

It was Kayla's pick this time around and this is what she threw us ...

Get your whelmed pants on ...

Why I didn't pose naturally in front of our minivan I'll never know. Also, the model might have a camera prop but I've got a genuine stray hair from a head of my very own in my face so .... we're tied.

I'm obviously struggling here as I could've sworn these pants were pink as the prettiest sunset but it appears as though they are actually stop sign siren red. They always stop Sebastian in his tracks when I wear them and now I can see why. I bought them this past weekend to wear while hitting up the nightlife scene with some younger, hipper ladies and the jury is still out whether they were a savvy purchase or not. And while I love the look of an open shirt over a t-shirt ... I think I would look ridiculous if I tried it. My bff+e Jessica (blog now private which I hate because it's a real diamond) pulls it off so well and I almost hate her for it.

the stuffs:

shirt: H&M $5 rack

pants: Target

bootlets: Forever XXI

necklace: c/o Lisa Leonard Designs

glasses: c/o Glassesdirect.com

Now go see what Erica and Kayla wore - I'm sure it's a little less patriotic meets scraggle hair.

Grace, I love the siren red pants! Definitely not a bad purchase, in my opinion.

Want that necklace now more than ever. c;

I like the pants. Maybe with a white top, it would make it the accent piece and calm down its vibrance?

see, if i were a part of this, i'd wear like the exact same outfit as the one i'm supposed to be interpreting. that'd be copying and not interpreting and iiiiiiii am not creative.

i like it.

This is cute! I have those same pants in purple, and I really agonized over what to pair them with so they would not look ridiculous. I finally wore them to school the other day and got some positive feedback from my students (and they don't lie when it comes to clothes). Moral(?) of the story - colored pants make life hard.

I own a pair of bright red pants (my second pair of red pants in my life - they are THAT good) so I approve! :)

Your red pants look good, and I think that you COULD pull off an open shirt and blouse and I also think you are saying that I am '90s: An open button-down to go with my Mudd jeans.
