A Case For Women Wearing Track Pants Outside The House

Rainy days make you want to give up. It ruins your shoes, the sideways rain ruins your make up, and your hair is not going to be your friend all day. Luckily, there is this delightful trend for Spring 2012 called "athleticism" which makes it okay for fine grown ass women to wear track pants, you know, out of the house. Which is ideal because it's raining, and as we've already discussed, getting dressed and looking great is going to be a little more difficult with stormy weather.

When track pants are made out of silk and are more of a tuxedo inspired hybrid, like the ones shown by Elizabeth and James, it kind of makes you feel less like a bum, and more like you're Emmanuelle Alt. You think, "I can wear skinny pants and be oh-so- French looking with my classic pumps."
Pumps like Jimmy Choos patent Abel pumps. From there, it's easy, you've got a great base founded on comfort! Top it off with a super soft long sleeve Mulberry baseball tee in a super clean blush color, and accessorize with classic Ray Bans, a clean structured DVF clutch, and a bold Maison Martin Margiela rose gold cuff.

Now you're in business. Emmanuelle Alt style.

I'm having an Eddie Borgo moment right now, and apparently it's just rose gold.
I typically don't wear much jewelry, but when I do I like it to be impactful and minimal. The hands full of rings? It's not really my thing, as they are completely impractical unless you don't intend to wash your hands...ever. But this Eddie Borgo collection on net-a-porter is enough to make me contemplate wearing multiple pieces like his ALL AT ONCE. Crazy, I know.

The rose gold works for me because it's pretty much a neutral color. It's not as flashy as gold, and not as dull shiney as silver. With an all-neutral outfit, the rose gold almost blends in, and the flashy over-accessorizing seems just right.
