Slacking Off

For my son’s 8th grade graduation bbq I wore these fun, printed slacks. They were another find at Century 21, when shopping in an actual store was still a thing that didn’t require a hazmat suit. The bright green and lively pattern, paired simply with a clean white top, made for an effortless hostessing look. The top knot was not only cute but practical, since I hate feeling hot when I’m entertaining. The white shades that give faux Versace vibes was the accessory that tied everything together. The pattern on the pants felt retro and the big sunglasses did too, that’s why they worked so well together. An easy way to keep an outfit consistent is to play off of one thread that’s common in at least two pieces. It felt so nice to have a special occasion to dress up for, even while remaining safely at home. There still are, and always will be, milestones to celebrate. Finding these bright moments are so important. I was determined to look festive and have my son enjoy his special day.
