If I Were a Boy

When I was a child, I was a pants and shorts girl. Then I went through a phase around 3 years ago where all I would buy was pretty dresses and skirts. Now I feel as though I have reverted back to that pants and shorts stage. I have been putting together slightly more masculine looks while trying to reinvent my wardrobe, even more-so in the cooler months. I can almost guarantee that summer will bring the more floral, floaty and feminine side out in me though.

There is just something so easy about pants and shorts. You don't have to worry about them blowing around in the wind or the gusset of your stockings falling down and annoying you. I always feel colder in a dress or skirt too, so I find them quite inappropriate for myself during the cooler months. There is also the added benefit, if you have a pair of mid waisted pants such as these ones, of them creating the illusion of a tall and slim figure. Being a measly 5 foot tall, and a muscly little thing at that, the lengthening and slimming is a much sought after illusion!

Yesterday was one of those out of character cool, rainy November days, which semi excited me as I could wear these pants just one last time before it gets too warm for them. The decision between warm, grey tracksuit pants and bed/funky checkered pants and work was the toughest decision I had to make yesterday, but I guess we all know which choice prevailed... le sigh.
