Now these are some funky pants and yes I think they look like my grandma’s curtains,made with crewel fabric… Inside these slacks, that AREN’T lined, you seeall the loose thread from the embroidering so the woman that wearsthese slacks might want to strap on a pair of pantyhose.  Launched in2002, Alice + Oliviaby Stacey Bendet is a sophisticated, yet eclectic brand with a playfulsensibility, which epitomizes the personality and quirky style of itsfounder.  Obviously if you saw the interior of these slacks quirkywouldn’t be the first word you would use…I have to be real honest withyou I have no idea why anyone would run to the upholstery fabric supplystore, grab a couple of yards of grandma’s curtain crewel fabric andthen take it back and create a pair of pants???  My beef with theseslacks is they should have been lined.  What is the saving grace herefor this ensemble is this simple black cotton top by Marcby Marc Jacobs.  This top might look like just another cotton top butthe detailing in this top is so modern and clean, it only elevates thesecurtain slacks.  I know some of you might think I’m a little harsh withthis posting but sometimes you have to question authority’s judgement. Sometime less really is more and when it comes to these curtain slacksless Stacey really is more….  Stop by my boutique when in Atlanta called doubletake and follow my blog daily on Twitter and Facebook.  Click and watch my YouTube channel for inexpensive pleasures….toodles for now.  Daniel your thrift curator!
