we wear the pants.


shirt + jeans. jay jays. shoes. nine west.
we wear the pants.
Us ladies joyfully get away with wearing our BF's clothing or shopping in the greatness that is the men's department. While our male counterparts rarely possess the same liberty.
Is it because it possesses the perfect amount of "hang" ? the luscious extra length ? the comfort factor ? its more neutral palette? that when paired with something body con it makes you feel sexier then ever?
to me: all of the above.
Everything I wore today (minus shoes. belt) is from the men's department. I paired it with heels and was raring to go... is it weird that I actually felt more feminine than ever (???) or that sometimes I head straight for their department (???)

Wow - I'm thinking of buying that exact tee! Weird. Never would have thought it was available in SA haha. You look great - I love your outfits!!

roxanne said...

not weird at all, i do the same. i wanted that tee forever, but ended up buying this obnoxious notorious b.i.g. tee instead from the men's section at uo. i think one of the best parts about seeing my bf again once school starts is reuniting with that half of my wardrobe.

ashleigh said...

Oh us southern hemispherians must stick together. I love those jeans, you do menswear proud :)

Would you fancy trading links?

Ida said...

You look impeccable. The jeans are absolute perfection. And I LOVE the belt.

Have a fantastic new week:)

like your t-shirt

Sasha said...

I totally agree with you. I love dressing in men's clothes and raiding guys' closets ; )
I don't know what it is but it does make me feel really sexy. Perhaps it's something about embodying the man's role, "wearing the pants" so to speak. Girl power!

And you look great, of course!

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real money.
It's all about how to select a correct companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the profit with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
