Sewing my own $500 Matteau Fisherman Pants

     Not bad right? I am seeing this style of fisherman pants pop-up everywhere. They are seemingly a rip-off (or, charitably, an hommage) of a Thai fisherman pant style of pants and are defined by their easy fit, tie-waist and wide fold-over waistband. The ones I’ve seen most frequently are the Matteau version above, but Banana Republic also has their own in their White Lotus branded collaboration (image below). I thought they looked like a fun pant for summer and was pretty darn sure I could sew my own version.

Where have all the outfit photos gone?

         My instagram algorithm is hellbent on selling me things I don’t want. I understand why it attempts to do so, and why it’ll persist, but recently I’ve been missing good old outfit inspiration. Images that make me excited about the clothes I already have, because, boy, do I have some clothes. Here are some recent pulls from the Archive (which is how I like to refer to my closet). As per usual, it is a mix of secondhand and new. 

      I’ve been looking for sweaters that make this skirt pop and this is a success, I’d say. The skirt is Prada, from their very chic 2017 show, and I got it for a steal! I’ve continued to look for more pieces from that same collection but haven’t yet found the right piece for the right price.
