Today's Everyday Fashion: Python














































I love the mix of military and python trends in this inspiration photo. I don't have a python skirt, so I pulled out my python shirt instead. I paired it with silky pleated shorts I picked up last summer, and a bit of serious neck bling in place of her ornate belt. I like this kind of classy but sexy night out look as an alternative to mini skirts or jeans and a dressy top. I might switch out the clutch for a brown or nude color, but overall I think this one is a win. Would you wear either of these looks for a night out?

  2. I would def. wear this look for a night out. It's very sexy but comfy, too. The shoes are amazing! And I also like the clutch you chose. But a nude one would be great as well.

    I have to say I've found your website through the Lauren Conrad Blogger Contest and I check it out every day ever since. I really like that you do post EVERY day, which is awesome!

  3. Love your look and the inspiration too!  I don't own any snake print but I guess you could rework something else to get the general feel of the look.x

  4. Oh sweetie, I hate snakes! Not crazy about the fad. You, however, look great. I'm wearing shorts for date night tonight. White with a soft coral top, gold sandals. Told hubby we need to have official date nights and dress up. Easy to get overly casual in this hot weather. Love ya.

  7. I love this look for a date night instead of wearing a skirt!  Love python print and think your shirt is very classy!  I love the material of your shorts too!  They look comfortable, yet so chic!  I myself, would probably switch the clutch to a black one and also add a black belt to really complete the look, but that is just me.  I envision a black chain belt with gold chain mixed in with it.  Do you know what belts I am talking about?  Then you would have to change the necklace though, so a black skinny belt is probably easier!  The Anne Klein python shirt you recommend, is amazing!  I may just have to get that!  Have a great weekend!

  9. I think that looks super cute on you!  I love seeing different silhouettes for nights out, I get in such a skinny jeans, heels and top rut.  I feel a little self conscious in shorts, but maybe I could push past that at night time... Thanks!

  11. I love how you can interpret your inspirations into looks from your own closet. This is a unique skill. Have you ever thought about publishing a book?

  12. Pip, this is too funny because I have a black belt with gold chain mixed in! :-) I tried it and it was way "too much," even without the necklace. I don't have a skinny black belt, and a skinny gold belt looked funny so I went with neck bling instead. Love your suggestions!

  13. Totally agree - her skirt could be just a neutral print and not python if you squint. ;-)

  14. Thank you so much Lena! :-)

  15. Oh my this makes me blush. I promise I don't have a secret leg trick I'm keeping from you guys - I would share it!! :-) I honestly think wearing heels tones your legs a bit and beyond that I'm just doing my regular workouts about 3 times a week - a 3 mile run, the elliptical and an Insanity video.

  16. This is such a rich look!  I love everything you did here, and the necklace really completes your look.  A real winner!!!

  20. Can't handle the python--snakeophobia big time! I found the cutest pair of sling back pumps in a pink faux-python leather and ALMOST tried them on, but I just couldn't put them on my foot. Not for me!

  21. Great look! I would totally try the python look.

  26. This look is just so pretty/eye-catching with your *yellow* clutch!!    I wonder if the different tones of rich brown in your shirt might also look good with either a solid-colored, NON-neutral skirt or pair of jeans/pants, too?............ (e.g., you know, all of those colors that typically and historically "go with" chocolate brown, except~~in this case~~it would be a chocolate brown "PYTHON" print!!)

    I also REALLY like the "crew neckline and banded/buttoned Henley placket" of your shirt, i.e., instead of all the "point collars" in the Inspiration Photo, and in the other three examples of python-print shirts.    A sleek crew neckline with a banded/buttoned Henley placket just seems so much more *polished* to me, (for some reason)!!
