Would you wear: Drop pants?

I've seen drop-crotch pants cropping up lately in my sale alert emails, which can only mean that they are on the way out again. I first got an inkling of their return when Dior sprinkled them into the Dior Homme Fall 2007 line.

After that, I saw them occasionally on models in fashion shows, but never out in the wild. While I can appreciate Dior's attempt to rescue men from the clutches of skinny jeans, I have to say that two wrongs do not make it right for this perfectly good-looking man to look like he's wearing a sagging diaper.

Obviously, my answer to the question posed in this post's title is no, but I'm interested to know if any of you have dared to try this trend. Did you get any comments on your pants? What top or shoes did you pair with your parachute pants? And, most importantly, did you do the M.C. Hammer dance?

Curiously enough, there is even a sale on some Ella Moss drop pants today over at Gilt Fuse. Hurry, though. For reasons unbeknownst to me, they're selling out fast.

Inspired by: Christina Hendricks

Life is not fair. I know this to be true because while oodles of my friends pine away for a more ample chest, here I sit with too much in my cups. This has always been something that more or less defined me -- mostly because my chest makes all the fashion choices. That adorable turtleneck at J.Crew? Even if I could afford it, I couldn't wear it without looking like I shoved two watermelons into a vase. I can't wear those teeny tiny super cute spaghetti strap tank tops because my bra straps are like giant suspenders. It goes without saying, then, that strapless dresses are out of the question because I don't need help looking like a hooker.

But wait a minute...

What's this?

Christina Hendricks of Mad Men fame, the voluptuous and sultry red-haired receptionist with a penchant for office gossip -- SHE can wear a strapless dress?

Even though she does kinda look like she's about to bust out of that thing, her confident stance and bright smile give off an aura of composure and elegance. She looks beautiful, not trashy.

I am inspired and also frightened. I would love to try it, but I shudder to think about all the underwear needed to achieve this! The tape! The straps! Trying to breathe, oh my! Nice to see that it is possible for the well endowed, though.

Color Combo: Navy and Pink

When I watch a television show, I like to watch it from episode 1 until I get caught up to the current season. I've fallen in love with so many television shows lately, from Dexter to Weeds to The Office and 30 Rock, but the latest obsession is How I Met Your Mother. I see a bit of myself in each of the characters and love the way each character's wardrobe really reflects their personality -- except Barney's, of course. For such a silly guy, what is up with all the suits?!

Robin's styling always inspires me and when I found her Season 4 Episode 12 outfit on celebstyle.com I was in love.

This color combo of navy and pink is so fresh to me, and I thought you might love it too. Most of the original pieces (found on the celebstyle.com link) were sold out or too expensive for my blood, so I made my own version, with two different navy sweaters. If you are like me and can't afford to invest in the cashmere J. Crew one (right, $198), you might opt for the still good, but budget-friendly $34.99 Gap version on the left. Either way, I still think this is the way I want to welcome Spring!

I also really loved it on Katy over at kansascouture.com, seen below:

I read on NY Mag that turquoise is the "it" color for 2010... but navy's pretty darn close!
