A Little DC

Beanie: H&M, Jacket: vintage, Top: Bailey 44, Pants: Zara, Boots: Payless

Yes the infamous D.C. (dropped crotch) pants, as made popular in the blogging world by miss Lulu and in the mainstream by YSL etc.

I bought these pants a while ago but haven't had much motivation to wear them because I find leggings to be more flattering/warm. Recently though I've been wanting a change in silhouette (hence the previous mention of a black maxi skirt) and decided to pull out these pants as a sort of in between stage to hold me over until I can find the skirt.

I'd actually wear these more if they were in the right size and were tighter in the lower leg...Guess I'll just have to wait until H&M starts selling a kids' version.

A few ideas:

Man, you make those things look so sexy.

I wish I could do just leggings, DC pants, but it's been 25 degrees lately and snowing. We don't get much of an Autumn here in the D.

What's the weather like there lately?
