Hanger Appeal


While shopping a few weeks ago in Marshall’s, I landed on a row of interestingly designed cardigans. I went in the store on a mission to desperately find a few cardigans to hide my growing bump, because I hadn’t made an official announcement of my pregnancy. I don’t wear many cardigans, and I’m picky about them, so I knew this would be a daunting  task. Weaving through the hangers I saw some that I liked, but weren’t quite my style. While searching, I stumbled upon the cardigan that I’m now wearing, but it wasn’t love at first site. I thought “hmm that’s interesting,” but it didn’t grab me. The hanger appeal was non-existent, that is until I saw a lady in the next aisle try it on and that my friends is when I fell in love. The draping and fit intrigued me and I had to have it. I didn’t even try it on. I just took it to the register and paid. This cardigan actually stayed in the bag for a few weeks and I debated on taking it back, but when I put it on with my all black I fell in love again. I really love the upholstery type material that its made out of.  I’m 13 weeks preggo and official and I asked some of my coworkers  and my husband if they could seem my bump? They said no lol, but I see it and know its there:). So the moral of the story is don’t judge a garment by the hanger. It may surprise you! Love love love this look!

How would you style these harem pants ootd?


I got these pants from H and M a few months ago and I’ve never worn them because I didn’t quite know how to style them and then one day this vision popped in my head. I could put my free people blue jean mini dress with these pants and a bright cardigan to add a pop of color. I immediately loved it! And to top it off I added my brand new gold plates heels from gojane.com, which I’m obsessed with!! So what do you think? Do you like harem pants? How would you style these?
