Our "Monday Must Have" outfit of the week! 10.3.11

I have talked about the 70's trend for several months now so this is nothing new. However, last week on Project Runway (yes, this is one of my favorite shows - I really wish I could design and sew clothes, owning Chocolate Peacock will have to do for now), the challenge was to create a look for Piperlime that went along with the 70's trend. There were jumpsuits, maxis, snakeskin prints - all of which we have in store - but there will also some wide leg, high waisted pants! So this week's "Monday Must Have" outfit of the week are these silky navy high waisted wide leg pleated pants.




They fit long (I'm about 5'5'' and I am wearing the medium) but add a great heel and you are good to go. OR if you are taller- they may just be perfect!! I am shaped like a boy with absolutely no waistline so if you have a waist, even better - you will need these pants to show that off!

First, I paired them with just a basic long sleeve T. Next step would be to accessorize away - necklaces, scarves, whatever you want.



Second pairing is with this AMAZING bright yellowish/ green vest. I picture this outfit at parties, charity functions, showers and even at weddings when you really just don't want to shave your legs and wear a dress. Plus, this vest is a must have in itself - put this over anything and you have updated an old look.



Next is more of a casual look paired with a long grey chunky seater. This may be my favorite one simply because it is easy and comfortable but still looks sohisticated, on trend and pulled together.



Last outfit is a work look. Pair these pants with a jacket and scarf and you are ready for the day!



Both the pant and the ruffled vest are in store now! The pants are $64 and the vest is $86. They both come in small, medium and large. Small is usually a 0-2, medium is 4-6 and large is 8-10. As always, if you want either of these held (we can hold anything for 24 hours), email me at chocolatepeacockboutique@gmail.com. If you live out of town, we would be happy to ship!

Have a wonderful week and I hope to see you in store very soon!
