5 Silk Pants Perfect For Spring (And Perfect For Me!)

Besides going commando (which I don't do -- EW, sorry, but that mysterious lint needs somewhere to go, and that's what underwear are for, so, no thank you!), there's nothing more freeing than wearing silk pants in the spring and summertime. I'm working on filling my closet with nothing but slouchy silk (or silk-y -- sometimes a girl's gotta go poly, so don't hate) pajama-inspired pants.

Also, if I may, please, a word on height. Let's debunk that you-have-to-be-tall-to-wear-baggy-pants myth. I'm short. Like Gary Coleman-short. And believe it or not, slouchy silky pants cut a sophisticated silho -- just like skinny jeans, except the complete pants opposite. Pair the busy prints with a solid silk or cotton tank with and a billion necklaces, and pair the solids with a busy tank or a buttoned-up button-down and Oxfords for my favorite look, the Duckie.

10 Jumpers Under $100!

Hey guess what. I FREAKING HATE hot weather.

What I'm trying to say is, check out 10 really cute jumpers that flatter lots of body types (also, can I just say, I HATE the term "bodycon." It's dumb. Please stop saying it) AND cost less than $100! Also, why do they call them jumpers? Playsuits? Whatever. I just wanna spend all of the days between now and October laying around in airconditioning and wishing I lived in John Ritter's apartment in Three's Company.
