Shiny snakeskin trousers are exactly what I needed for KCFW.
I like to bring the drama when it comes to Kansas City Fashion Week. I shared my outfit for the kickoff party last week and now it’s time to let these wide-leg snakeskin trousers have their moment in the sun. Hello there, crazy pants! I had to have ’em, knowing they’d fit in with the fun KCFW fashion crowd. I added a pair of super tall platform sandals (because I’m wee and that really balances a wide leg) and a basic black bodysuit (still available at ASOS, btw).
I wanted to build on the over-the-top nature of the trousers, so I put on an actual ton of gold jewelry. Big statement belt, killer hoops (I got so many compliments on these Uncommon James hoops), a few layered necklaces, and a massive chain link bracelet. A classic (faux) leather moto jacket over the shoulders and a Louis Vuitton bag I pulled out of my archives and your girl was ready. The result was Scary Spice meets New Jersey housewife, and I couldn’t have been happier.
Shop the look:
Kansas City Fashion Week: Thursday Night Runway Shows.
Thursday night at Union Station was such a treat! Here are my faves.
Travis Cal Styles showed a super fun collection this season, complete with a few eyebrow-raising-in-a-good-way pieces. I could pretty much shop this collection for my annual birthday outfit, which you normally includes some sort of shimmer + shine. The collection was cohesive, fully finished, and so damn good.
I also adored House of Pamela Renee. Jaw-dropper after jaw-dropper! It was a clinic in silver and gold. Pretty sure I need that stunning high-neck gold sequin gown and those bedazzled cut-out trousers. (Now how to make work-approrpriate…?)
Stay tuned next week for my coverage of the Saturday night finale shows!
Linking up with Elegance & Mommyhood, Curly Crafty Mom, Living on Cloud Nine, Meet at the Barre, Threads for Thomas, Nancy’s Fashion Style, A Pocketful of Polka Dots, Shelbee on the Edge, Michelle’s Pa(i)ge + Northwest Blonde, and Pink Sole.
What a HAWT look. Snakeskin is sooo so fun!
Thanks so much, sista! Happy weekend!
Those pants are bonkers in all the right ways – I love them!
