Yes, I'm wearing pants! I'm surprised I haven't shown you these pants yet! I've had them for years and they're the only pants I truly feel comfy in. They're authentic navy pants from the 40s. I love um! The handsome couple is my Grandpa and Grandma from my Moms side. I never got to meet them because they both died before I was born. Though, my Mom tells me I'm just like her Mama! The picture was taken back in the 1940s right after they got married. Soon after my Grandpa went to fight in WW2. He was a pilot, not a sailor, but it seemed like a fitting place to take these pictures anyway. They had quite the love story. A truly happy in love couple.Sailor top: Dear Creatures
Sweater: Forever 21
Pants: a thrift shop in Maine

Omg I love this outfit! The top and pants are amazing, and that picture of your grandparents is sweet!
You are adorable. I think that every time I visit. I found an old black and white picture that reminds me of you in your flapper post. It's of 3 women in the 20's I think, leaning up against a car. Our scanner is broken so I'll have to take a picture of it and email it to you.
Wow, you really look like the both of them combined! Your outfit is so cute!!
Lovely!!! The sailor style was made for you.
The picture of your grand parents is so cool. We can totally imagine the story you're telling.
those pants are incredible! they look great on you too.

Wow! That outfit is just to die for! I love the naval inspiration:) And you lucky girl, authentic vintage pants, that's such a great find.
Your grandparents were quite the striking couple too.

You are so cute!!! I love, love, love the blouse you're wearing... I've been dying for something like that for ages (guess this means I should make one. lol).
Those sailor pants sure are fantastic! I have a pair of vintage ones too, and they are one of the prized pieces in my wardrobe. My husband (who wears his uniform sailor pants regularly), can't understand why I love mine so much (all those buttons are a hassle! lol). ;) Haven't been able to wear them since I moved to FL though, which is a shame... *sigh*
