Hey. Guess what.

WE MADE IT TO SPRING. I knew we could do it. OK, that’s not true. I’m a pretty pessimistic person so part of me wondered if I would just slip in the ice one day and not bother getting up. Luckily, all the ice melted before that happened and I think we might be in the clear.

I actually wore this last Friday before it was technically spring, but it was in the 50s and rainy. It seemed like a good time to mix something wintery (a puffer vest) and something springy (white jeans). I hope you all enjoy this first-day-of-spring Friday. Here’s to more positive thinking in the new season.

Two of my favorite pastimes: taking a stroll on a sunny day, and using invented adjectives to describe my clothes. So imagine my excitement earlier this week when I got to take a walk in the park wearing my drapey pants. I was happy to discover that J. Crew actually calls pants like these “drapey.” It’s not just me. And I think, as a general rule, what’s OK with Jenna Lyons should be OK with society as a whole. The Crew actually has a bunch of different pants they call “drapey” (see them all here) and they might be my new favorite thing. I know this style won’t magically fit and flatter everyone, but an elastic waist eliminates all the issues I have with big gaps in my waistband when the hips are snug. This is not a slow dance at a the Immaculate Heart Middle School – I don’t need to leave room for the Holy Spirit. (I worship Jenna Lyons anyway.)
