Pink Moto Jacket & Baseball Tee: “Those” Pants
I’m pretty sure most of us have them. You know, “those” pants? The pair that is actually too big to wear but you keep ’em around for the days when you’re feeling a little less than sleek. Well, these are “those” pants for me. Actually when I’m at my normal weight they are too big to wear at all; even with a belt they look simply too big. Sadly enough right now they fit perfectly. Um ya, that’s not a good thing. No, this isn’t a woe is me rant about how ginormous I am when in reality I know I’m not. But what I am is not the weight I feel and look best at. Therefore, I will fix it. I always do; it’s not uncommon for my weight to fluctuate because all I need to do is look at a cupcake and my ass takes that as a signal to squirrel away fat cells like a grizzly getting ready to hibernate. And after years of training for bodybuilding I know a thing or two about food manipulation so it’s an easy enough remedy. These pants fitting well was as motivational as an infomercial at 1 a.m.
With that being said, I was going to go the professional route and pair them with a white button down and cardigan, you know, just to confuse you guys. But I just couldn’t do it. Hence the baseball tee and pink moto jacket. Ya, that’s the ticket. Keepin’ it real my friends, keepin’ it real. I haven’t worn this particular pair of boots in literally years, so I decided to give them a run before they go back to their summer home in the attic. As much as I love my big obnoxious statement necklaces, lately I’ve been feeling serious love for the delicate layered look. I picked this necklace up last month at Headline Boutique and it’s that perfect jumble of delicate eclectic awesomeness. How was that for a mouth full of adjectives?

Cujo The Trained Attack Spider: Pink Moto Jacket, Distressed Skinnies And Fringed Ankle Booties
There’s a crack with a small hole in our shower right above the faucet. It’s one of those things that, you know, we’ll get around to fixing one of these days. The night before last while I was washing my daughters hair I looked over, and there, perched on the faucet, is a wolf spider the size of my miniature pinscher’s head. Okay, an exaggeration. But it was indeed the size of a half dollar. I screamed like a little girl…actually with a little girl since my daughter was screaming too. With all of the hubbub the spider of course scuttled into the hole. My husband who’s currently got a bum wing and is temporarily unable to fulfill his spider killing duties, assured us that the spider was more afraid of us then we were of it. Umm…ya…right.
Later that night I went in to wash my hair. I verrrry carefully reached to pull up the knob on the faucet, and I kid you not, that freakin’ spider dove out of the hole at me. Like he was waiting. Stalking his prey. Looking for just the right moment to strike. WTH??!! Then he sat there. Literally sat there. And stared me down…waiting for my next move. So I of course did what any self-respecting grown woman would do. I grabbed my hair spray and doused his furry spider ass. This caused a rapid retreat into his evil lair. I haven’t seen him since then, but I have no doubt he’s in the wall plotting revenge. And I’m sure his hair looks fabulous.
This is my most favorite of my moto jackets. I love how the soft pink opposes the biker chick vibe. The opposition is what makes it interesting. I’ve paired it with skirts before and it looks just as good as it does with the distressed skinnies. And hey, can we talk about these fine, fine booties for a moment? I don’t what I love more, the soft taupe color or the swishy fringe. I think it’s a combination of the two that makes them so fabulous. I didn’t love them nearly as much in black as I do in the taupe. I’m pretty sure these will stay in steady rotation throughout the year.
Last but not least, I’ve included a round-up of my favorite looks from November. As you can see, it was a big month for pants in my world. You can check out the original posts here: Outfit 1, Outfit 2, Outfit 3 and Outfit 4.
