Fashion Meets Braveheart Meets Mt. Olympus

I love the costume changes in this and crazy wigs. I could live without the creepy little kids though.

Hammer Time

Harem pants, sometimes called Hammer (which came first, the harem or MC Hammer?) pants are easy to dress up and are essentially a chic lounge (re:sweat) pant.

Super comfy, this pair was given to me for promotional purposes- would I have bought them otherwise? No. Well, not from Nordy's; I would have waited for them to go to The Rack. Duh. 100 bones is too much to pay for a trend.

They're surprisingly versatile as well; I wore them through summer with sandals and heels, but they also look good with ankle boots.

I like pairing them with boxy tees to exaggerate the baggy look.

Unfortunately, they're not especially flattering; if you wear them low around your hips, your legs look short and you look like you have a saggy crotch; if you wear them higher up, cinched in around your waist, you get "diaper butt."

My way of dealing with this is to point out my diaper butt to anyone I talk to before they can get a word in.

Probably not the best strategy.
