K: I told you I had harem pants. These blush shiny drawstring beauties have a gather detail at crotch-level that makes me sooooo happy, similar to a pair Marian Kihogo wore to London Fashion Week 2010. Photo from the Whole Hole.

Nicole: While I love and am jealous of your harem pants, I am gravitating towards Marian’s fancy tiered sleeves and pleated train…I will channel the inspiration into  hot pink petticoat layered under vintage pleated olive skirt.  Notice that the petticoat is the exact same shade as my 90’s hot pink crop top.

Doris Day Approves:

K: Unconventional layering is my favorite, especially when it involves various sheers! I love how unexpectedly slutty the sheer petticoat is with your demure silhouette. This tie-waist polyester blouse barely covers my pink-sports-bra-supported breasts. Does this even count as a subtle kind of sluttly? I say yes, because the harem pants are so fucking unsexy.

N: Totes subtly slutty.  You’re wearing a sports bra.  How slutty is that?  Take off the heels and blouse and you could be at the gym. I had to wear pink underwear so they wouldn’t be too obvious under my supah sheer petticoat.  Guess I felt like wrangling the subtle slut a bit…

N: Sorry ladies, some of us don’t wear petticoats under our petticoats for modesty…

K: But I do need one of those hats like I’ve never needed anything in my life. I swoon!

K: Speaking of swooning, these Chanel crocodile pumps? Thrifted for under ten dollars. BOOM!

N: Night and day. Though my lucite and gold vintage heels were also purchased second hand for under ten dollars!

N: Also, embarassing confession, I the petticoat is leftover from a horrible Halloween costume I got stuck in several years ago..

K: Do you mean the swedish milk-maid costume you voluntarily purchased to please a douchebag boyfriend? It’s alright, you washed that man right out of your hair… or was that the part you shaved off?

N: Touche, Robinson, touche.  Stop looking at me with those judging eyes… Also, does it make me look better or worse if I say he purchased it for me?

K: Better. Besides, you’re sure as hell making the best of it now. I made this netted collar! It took many hours. I also made the bracelet.

N: I recently discovered the roof of my apartment building…good for morning yoga and photo shoots!

K: Bises for Bethany, who takes pictures of me in the Cabana Inn parking lot at midnight.

 Whether by night or by day, we hope you’ll dress slutty in a subtle way.
