OOTD: Harem calling my name?

Jury is still out on the pants I featured in this post. Today is the first day I'm actually wearing them out (nothing like some patio drinkin on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon). I think I like the outfit, but husband gave me the weirdo-eyes when I came out of my closet in this outfit. Now, I don't normally take cues from Mr. Unstylish, but you always have to wonder if his opinion will be the same of others... do I look like an idiot? Here's the problem, I think-- they sit too low on the waist. They're just a tad too big right now... I think I'll go to my local tailor and have them sit higher so as to make them a little less strange. Oh, and another problem? I can't sit in them for more than 10 minutes without wrinkles being out the waazooo.

Nonetheless, I can't seem to give them up. I still gravitate towards them. I still..... well, I still like them. They're fun and risky and comfortable, and I just want them to work so badly. Therefore, I'll make them work. Damnit.

Pants: Lulu's At Ease Trousers
Top: F21 paisely ruffle tank
Sweater: J.Crew ruffles and roses cardi
Shoes: Charles by Charles David wedges (on Bluefly!)
Necklace: F21 pearl drop necklace

My "holiday outfit"

I still don't know if I have NYE'10 plans. Last year, we went to a swanky wine bar, spent a lot of money, and ended up thinking, "Meehhh?" when we left. I definitely want to go somewhere fun (ahem, TO DRESS UP), but I don't want to feel like I wasted my precious time and money on something just so-so. This is neither here nor there, really. I just want somewhere to look purrrrteeey. So this dress will more than do. But I just don't know what for. Ugh.

Maybe I'll wear it on the couch. With some high heels, a clutch, and a huge feather hairpin. On the couch. With a glass of champers. On the couch. With my husband! At least not alone, right?!


ModCloth Party-Perfect Dress

Ohhh, and a little Polyvore of how I want to wear it... Leopard print bow belt + paisley = beautifulness. :)
