Hello Darlings,
I’m not sure what it is about the harem pants that I love, but when you join harem and jumpsuit… well that’s a whole different love story. I though that I would be the last person to wear harem pants or jumpsuit…but look what happened!?!?
I picked up this über ( one of my favorite German words, and boy do I abuse it) awesome jumpsuit few days ago and man-o-man is it comfortable. Actually, it’s like wearing the most comfortable pair of sweatpants outside… not that I ever would, but you get my point, lol. It is also perfect thing to go shopping in ( quick slip off, slip on), which is where I wore this outfit…
I finally had chance to bring out my Juicy flats out of their winter hibernation…I love them to death and it still amazed how new they look ( I’ve been wearing them for a year)…definitely worth every penny. Love Juicy shoes, super comfortable and the quality is always amazing.
I am wearing: Necessary Objects cotton jumpsuit; Mackage Leather Jacket; Juicy Couture Ballerinas; A.V. Max Studded Cuff; Diamond Studs; Ray Ban Wayfarers
So what is feminine?
As I am doing my research on Lorenzo Lotto’s Portrait of the Lady as Lucretia and trying to establish what was seen as feminine/masculine in women in the 1500s, I found this interesting quote by Baldassar Castiglione and though that I would share it with you:” Leggiadria is nothing other… than the observation of an unspoken law, given and promulgated by nature to you women, in moving, behaving, and using thus the whole persona as also the individual members, with grace, modesty, gentleness, measure, elegance, in such a way that no movement, no action, shall be without moderation, without manner, or without design; but, as this unspoken law compels, ordered, composed, regulated, gracious; which law, because it is not written elsewhere but in certain natural judgment that neither knows of itself nor it able to render judgment, if not that nature wishes thus, I have wished to call “unspoken”; which law nevertheless, because books can not teach it nor practice demonstrate it, it not observed commonly by all beautiful women…”
- “Dialog on the Beauty of Women” by Angolo Firenzuola, 1541
I love reading ” Renaissance guide books for women on how to be a woman” written by men. It makes you realize exactly where these stereotypes and generalization came from….well now I know, from men like Castiglione and Firenzuola who spend their life’s telling how to become a feminine woman and to be more appealing.
Off I go to discover what feminine is… maybe I can learn a thing or two from these men, haha !!!
Countdown: 2 essays down 2 more to go and 2 more exams and a month until my vacation ….
I wish you all a beautiful Monday!!!!
With Love…

maybe its just me, but this jumpsuit doesn’t have a harem element to it.. its really nice though!
love your blog and your style!
I’m still not sold on jumpsuits - they wouldn’t work for my body. When I want something easy to slip on, I turn to my dress collection - guess that’s why I have so many!
From these pics though, it looks like you pull off the jumpsuit with aplomb. I’m not suprised, I’m convinced you can pull off everthing and anything.
Juicy flats are awesome, I have these black ones I should wear more often…maybe tomorrow? Yours are too cute, I love them!

Well, it looks amazing on you! I agree, if you had told me I’d be coveting a pair of harem pants, or a one-piece, I would have laughed about 2 years ago!
you look so cute in that jumpsuit! good luck on your remaining essays. =)
I need a jumpsuit! Wish I could find one that fit me properly!
Love the Juicy flats - need a pair
I must say, this is one of those blogs that made me smile…Great looks, nice photos…I will be back!!!
Usually jump suits don’t do it for me but…. you rocked it! …and matched it perfectly with the jacket and flats.
You look amazing.
I never, ever thought I’d go for harem pants either,
but actually I found they work on my tall frame, and now I live in them!
Love love love this outfit. I really want a harem jumpsuit bad!
Beautiful pictures!
I like that you took them in another area of the house.
To say it in German:
These are truly überchic-
or to say it with another word:
it looks “süß” for me
love also the light and colors in your first photo!
HAPPY TUESDAY!!!
Hmm. I don’t think it’s flattering on your figure, though I bet it’s super comfortable to wear around the house
oo That’s a nice jumpsuit! I want to find a jumpsuit, but I’m still not convinced on the harem pants trend haha. And with regard to feminism… hmm, we need to define it for ourselves as females!!
you look gorgeous! and congrats on the Supermelon feature….AND great choice on the ring! I feel like I have missed out on so much lately….you have so many new posts
=)

Very very nice look, it looks so natural.
Wow, is that you?!?! You look so sexyyyyyyyyyy…
Hey not sure if you remember me: the girl who asked for tips about quality vs quantity. Thanks for the heads up on Juicy shoes.
I will definitly be purchasing a pair for myself since I’ve been on the look out for a pair of high quality flats..
