Occupation: Writer/Editor

Lives: Wagener Terrace

LOVE: Skinny jeans tucked into booties with a slimming blazer

katie armour: the neo-traditionalist

This defines chic yet saucy to me. It's sexy, but powerful, and seems to transition easily from day to night.

LOATHE: Drop-Crotch Pants

Is your goal to look like you have a front bum goiter? Or is your pant in tribute to Toulouse-Lautrec whose legs stopped growing at age 13 but upper body did not, because that's what you look like. Gentleman stop flattering yourselves, there's no way your inseam requires that much room. And ladies the whole Aladdin look died in 1992. This isn't a whole new world, carpets can't fly, and Robin Williams hasn't been funny since Good Morning, Vietnam. Kindly give Jasmine her pants back.
