IrelandIn honor of St. Patrick’s Day and my Irish Heritage, I showed some beautiful green options to wear tomorrow. I will be sporting a green sweater tunic and my denim trousers to work. Afterward, when I go to the pub with my lassies, we will wear our Shamrocks on our arm to show our love for St. Paddy and the Emerald Isle. Enjoy the post, show me your green and if you ever get a chance to get to Ireland, you will love it. It feels like home.

Whatchaya got in those pockets?

2010.01.11

Cargo PantsLadies, you are not the only ones that read this blog!  Some of the very fashionable (read: metro-sexual) gentlemen are taking part in asking questions.  I will, however post items for the ladies, and gents, if you really need some help, call my husband.  He is a disciple of mine, and doing quite well!

Ladies, I realize that some of you don’t like to wear jeans to be casual or sweats even.  A good option of course, is cargo pants.  I have been madly in love with cargo pants for years!  Some people refuse to wear them because “they make your hips look big.”  I beg to differ.  I think that if you have the correct size cargos and of course, perfectly placed pockets, then you are good to go!

One designer that I am currently in love with is XCVI.  The clothing is a bit pricey and, of course, I buy everything on sale.  But, their material is really really soft.  I am a big fan of their waist bands and their ruching.  I think their clothing is very flattering and comfortable.  Check them out.  They are sold at a bunch of places on the net and I think you can find a good deal!

If you are looking for a cropped cargo, check out Jag.  Zappos carries this line.  I think these are cute and good for cruise wear.  I am thinking of waiting till they go on sale some more and snag them for my Disney trip in April!

When in doubt, I hit Old Navy for some cargos.  They are comfortable and I can wear them to death for one season.  The prices are good and I can replace them the next season.  I will admit tho that I have a few pairs from years ago that I still wear and they are in really good shape!

Now, I am going to admit something here, that may make me look like a bit of a weirdo…but this summer my friend and I went to the NKOTB concerts (read: several).  Donnie Wahlberg, God Bless his soul, calls his fans ‘soldiers.’  Trying, of course, to get into the meet n greet, we were advised by DDUB himself, to dress like a soldier.  This is not a problem for me.  I have always and will always have a pair of fatigue cargos in my closet.

For my pregnant plus size ladies, I offer you these cargos from Motherhood.  They are adorable and I love pregnant women in cargo pants.  They are so absolutely fabulous.  I think pregnant women are super amazing anyway, I mean, hello, they are growing a human after all.  So, my friend Sally, who is growing twins, please put these super sweet and comfy pants and grow those babies!!!

Be Comfy!
