Closet Confection: Little Red Riding Hood

When: Thursday, January 20th, 2011

Where: Work

I’m making up for yesterday’s fiasco with an abundance of outfit photos for your viewing pleasure!

I bought these funky little half-tinted glasses a while ago but never really had the guts to wear them.  I figured my coat was bright enough to distract folks from paying attention to my glasses.  Actually, now that I just typed that sentence up I’m not sure if that logic really holds: wearing something mildly distracting to draw attention away from something that’s really distracting.  Hmmm… perhaps I should have thought that through a little bit more.

Oh well.

In other news, my company recently relaxed it’s dress code.  That means I can wear jeans anytime I want, as long as I’m not meeting with clients. Yippee!

I decided to take advantage of the situation by test-driving a pair of high-waist bell bottoms that will supposedly be all the rage next season.

I used to live in flare  legs and boot-cut jeans back in high school and college, so this was a nice change of pace from the skinny jeans everyone’s been rocking for the last couple of years.

What about you ladies?  What style of jeans do you prefer?
