Happy Manic Monday and St. Patrick's Day! The husband's best friend's birthday happens to fall on St. Patrick's Day, so we always end up celebrating that Saturday. St. Louis has a pretty big parade and celebration downtown, so we usually hang out there for a couple hours in the afternoon and then head to an Irish pub of some sort for corned beef and cabbage and more adult beverages.
I bought these sequin track pants at the very beginning of the year - basically one of my first purchases in 2014. Pretty sure they were meant for holiday wear because right after the holidays, the price plummeted on these, and I was able to score them for $30 or something awesome like that. How can you say no to sequin pants for such a great price? Yes, clearly it takes a special person and a special occasion to wear these pants. I have a lot of liberty to wear what I'd like to work, but I don't think I could quite bring myself to be *this* obnoxious at work. For St. Patrick's Day though? Hells yeah.
The weather was ridiculously perfect, so I was able to go around with open toes. I'll admit that since we were going to be on our feet and walking a lot for the parade, I was in my new Isola sandals for the day then switched to the heeled sandals for evening. So much fun, and even better when I'm not even hungover the following morning.
How do you celebrate?

Loooving the party pants here. I knew this was pre-celebration because you're standing up straight. LOL. :) I have not paired my chevron necklace with a portofino but I may need to try that...I like it a lot!

The chevron necklace was just begging me to pair it with the green portofino!
DeleteOh yes. I made sure to tell the husband to photograph me BEFORE everything because a) i would be in no shape to do it after and b) if we waited until morning, who knows if my clothes would have even survived the night?!
I love your St Patty's day look, those pants are soooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah! Was so fun to wear!
DeleteHave a fun St. Pat's Day Carylee....love those sparkly pants!!!!

ReplyDeletewww.amemoryofus.blogspot.com
No, no there is not! They are great for any and all occasions! I'm kind of scared to count how many I have!
DeleteAnd yes, lucky for me these babies went on sale. I tried so hard not to buy them, but I could not resist! Need to dress them down next time!

ReplyDeleterhea @ rheaetcetera.com
Aww - thanks, Rhea!
DeleteI love this look, I actually ordered the animal print version of those pants, but they were so tight on my calves, and the next size up looked too frumpy, it sucks because they look awesome :)
ReplyDeleteNatalia
Well that's boo! Would have loved to see that version on you!
DeleteAnd thank you!
Now all 3 of us have the green portofino...must make a post :) Hope you are having a lovely day doll.

And they all would look great with a certain leopard sandal, too!!!
DeleteThe pants are fabulous! I love that they are "track pants" because you get that casual slouchy vibe, but these are so dressy because of the sequins! Love it!
ReplyDeleteExactly! Easy to go from day to night in these bad boys! I love them so much!
DeleteCarylee those sequin pants are so killer looking, love it with the green blouse, such a fun and glamorous ensemble :-)

DeleteUnfortunately I am leting you down this week my friend. I didn't get the chance to take outfit pictures this weekend which was frustrating. Although I did wear green yesterday for st patricks day. A friend and I coordinated for work. It's an outfit I previously posted on my blog. Good to see you in the theme of st patricks day. You look absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh, no worries at all! Definitely not letting me down - thanks for coming here and reading anyway! You're very sweet!
DeleteLook at you in those sassy pants! This is just fun. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, very fun! One of my most fun outfits on the blog yet! Now I need to wear them again!

I fought for dear life not to buy them. But they kept taunting me and luckily by the time I decided I couldn't live without them, the price dropped. Hallelujah for shopping fate!!
DeleteI ordered 2 Portofino shirts last time there was a great sale. I had been tempted and then seeing how versatile you made them and I took the plunge. I've just been waiting for the weather to warm up! Yesterday it finally did and I cracked out the EXACT SAME GREEN SHIRT that you're wearing. Seeing this post, I feel like you would have said "good job!" I even put on a necklace!
ReplyDeleteHow can you leave me this comment without a photo!! You're teasing me! :)
DeleteI'm so happy you succumbed to the portofino! seriously, they're the best!!!
Those sequined pants are fabulous! And the gold looks great with the green blouse. Too cute!

Thanks, Nikki! I don't wear green much, but when I do, I wonder why I don't more!
DeleteOne of your best outfits Carylee. I just purchased Black Sequined Pants last week and cannot wait to style them. Looking in my closet as I was trying to find something Bright Green for St. Patty's I don't own a Green Button-down Blouse. Would love a Portofino one in Green. Your Sandals are great too and the perfect heel, not too tall. I also love that Chevron Necklace. I cannot wait to go shopping at Express next time I am in the States. =) It has been and still is one of My Favorite Stores, for about 15 years now.
ReplyDeleteWow - well, I'm glad we share the same love for Express!
DeleteCan't wait to see how you style your new sequin pants - so much fun!
Yes, those pants were definitely perfect for a St. Patty's Day celebration! Happy Hump day Wednesday, I am stopping by from Whitney's Personal Style Monday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hopping on over! And yep, this outfit was my trifecta of perfectness!
DeleteJust dying over your pants!! We would also love to have you cohost sometime. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteThank you, and I would be honored to co-host!
DeleteLove this look on you! I don't think I can pull off sequins :)
ReplyDeleteThey're definitely a statement piece! I just could not resist! Thanks for the sweet note!!
