On Saturday Josh and I were in the wedding of some of our dear friends, Rachel and Matt. All the groomsmen got suspenders for the occasion, and as soon as I could I borrowed Josh's pair for this outfit. They were fun to wear, mostly because of their superfluity - generally my outfits are less about function and more about aesthetics.
I cropped these pants myself. They were inexpensive floor-length pants I bought at Target years ago, and since I hadn't worn them for years I tried to make them usable again by shortening them, but I think they still might be too long. What do you guys think - would they look better if they were an inch or two shorter?
After taking these photos I realized I wore the same shirt, shoes, and bracelet in my Easter outfit. I guess sometimes I get stuck on repeat.

Here's a photo of me and Josh from the wedding on Saturday! We both looked so good that I couldn't resist sharing it...
you look so cute with those! This outfit is very masculine and it looks awesome on you! :) x
ReplyDeleteAw! What a cute couple! You both look great and I LOVE your suspenders! Bring 'em back girl! I think you're right about shortening the pants just a trite more, though they look good now too and those earrings are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou really look cute and even your shoes match his tie!For the pants I think they need to be taken in not shortened.
ReplyDeleteThat didn't even occur to me, but I think you're right about taking them in. Time to experiment with my sewing skills :)
DeleteI'm a huge fan of suspenders yet I don't own a pair...hmmm...need to fix that! Love this look ;)

Stacey - this is just the coolest, coolest outfit... you look sooo amazing, I love it! But I can't bring myself to say "suspenders" - they mean something else entirely in the UK, I'm sure you know what ;)))) (LOVE the wedding photo btw, you both look so wonderful!)

Ha! Yes, I do know what it means in the UK :) Sometimes I realize that the words I use must give my British readers a chuckle, like "pants" instead of "trousers"!
DeleteSuspenders are not only functional - they also give an extra kick to a simple outfit. I love them on you! Doreen
ReplyDeleteWhen cropped pants came out several years ago I thought they were a great thing for us older gals that don't wear shorts anymore, but I am coming to the conclusion they just aren't that flattering even on skinny models. So I agree with Angie that you would probably like your crops better if you tapered them down to follow the line of your leg. It is a pain to undo the hem and resew them, but I've been doing this and it is worth the effort. I also "skinnify" regular jeans this way so I can control how skinny they are. Even at my age I want to look modern but not like a sausage. :)
