Blue Star

  Every year when the temperature dips below 50, I look forward to wearing these pants. I’m not sure why–something about the combination of high-waisted seventies goodness and plush blue velvet intrigues me.

How do you wear them?

Do you have to buy a bunch of stuff? If so, who pays for it and where do you keep it? ~K Hi K, I’m freelance, so I usually pitch an idea...
