Okay, so I'm not a really mushy person, but this has to be said. One of the many things I love about my husband is that he completely appreciates my style. Sure, there's been outfits that he doesn't like and he'll tell me and that's fine, because I always appreciate his honesty and if I like it, that's all that really matters. (I've always been more interested in clothes than boys.) But most days, he surprises me.
Yesterday was one of those days. I'm completely addicted to these pants and they are the most amazing thing on a sunny, spring day. When I put this together, I was in love. No doubt. I assumed that Meatball wouldn't like it, since it's baggy and a little off beat. But I was wrong.
He thought it looked really cool and the conversation went on like this:
ME: I feel like Lisa ..... what's her name? Lenny Kravitz's ex?
(Most of our conversations start with me being very forgetful and needing him to fill in the blanks. What can I say? It just works.)
MEATBALL: Lisa Bonet.
ME: YES! I feel like Denise Huxtable.
MEATBALL: Yeah, I guess, but I was thinking it's much more like Diane Keaton.
I blushed :) I know that he loves Diane Keaton's style and for some strange reason, it made me really happy that he made that connection. This guy knows what he's talking about!
I realize that Diane Keaton is not a style icon that most guys would think of, but the Meatball has 9 years on me. He's been around enough to know these things :)

Cutest story! I love your little anecdotes to go long with your outfits Kyla. They start my day off so well :) You look fabulous! I love the neutral hues and THAT HAT!!! You look so chilled, come lie on an Australian beach... I say that like I would be there to, but I hate the beach. :p Hope you had a wonderful weekend and have a stella week!
ReplyDeleteMajor brownie points for your husband! I love Diane Keaton in baby boom. But then, I have an unnatural attraction to shoulder pads and Cybil Shepard. :)
ReplyDeleteI have those type of conversations with my husband all the time.
ReplyDeleteYou know how to rock the comfy chic look like its no one's business. I love your style so much.
aw what a good husband! and great outfit! love the belt with those pants
ReplyDeleteThat good man of yours has a great eye. This outfit is brilliant on you. I must imitate this one!
ReplyDeleteEvery now and again, men surprise you! They're not completely stupid all the time =). Cute outfit!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet. Its those little moments that make ya wanna keep him around, huh?
ReplyDeleteYou're totally both Lisa Bonet and Diane Keaton...who are both awesome. I'm in love with how distinct Diane Keaton's style is. She's a woman with great taste.
ReplyDeleteI mention Annie Hall quite a bit when reading your blog - i see now that is not a coincidence! :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't even tell you how much I love this outfit. You know what I love about your style? (Say what?)
ReplyDeleteI like that your style is accessible. Sometimes you go to certain bloggers and you think "where in the hell are they wearing that to?" or even "they were just playing in the closet".
I believe whole heartedly that you rock your outfits..plus I get slight joy whenever you say you bought something for 15 cents and it looks so cool!
This made me feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy inside.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I agree with both of you. I totally get a late 80's Liso Bonet vibe AND an Annie Hall kind of thing. I dig it.
Oh and I dubbed this look the "Karate Pimp" look:)
ReplyDeleteFits perfectly doesn't it?!? lol!
I love it!
I love this look. It's so incredibly cool. And I'm pretty sure it's completely common knowledge that Annie Hall is a sex symbol!
ReplyDeleteAwww cutesy! It's good your hubs knows how awesome your style is! :) You rock this look! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable. I am very impressed that he knows Diane Keaton and can pinpoint her style. My husband is great for outfit feedback but he is clueless when it comes to style icons.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is so summery and awesome. I especially love the hat and belt.
Cute story! And yes, whilst I have NEVER commented at your blog, as I am just a drive-by-reader, I have always thought of Diane Keaton as one who could be one who inspires you when it comes to your style.
ReplyDelete;)
aww..I hope my guy appreciates my style he better or else hehe I love the fact you thrift shop and make the clothe work btw I nominated you for the sunshine award(: Take a peak at my blog for the information^^
ReplyDeleteYou wear man-style outfits so well.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing!
I'm often surprized at the outfits my boyfriend likes, too! Sure he likes tight, short skirts, but one of his fav pieces of my clothing seems to be this ridiculously colourful hoodie. Oh, boys...
ReplyDeleteYou rock those pants :)
that's so freaking sweet that he still makes you blush. :o)
ReplyDeleteand I love your hat and blazer.
Wow you have a keeper:) I really like the wideleg trousers!
ReplyDeleteYou look so effortlessly cool! And isn't it the best to get a meaningful compliment when you least expect it? How sweet. :)
ReplyDeleteLisa Bonet(/Denise Huxtable) and Diane Keaton are both great style icons! :)
ReplyDeleteAw, boys are the best! As soon as Joe tells me I look like Diane Keaton, we're gettin' hitched!
ReplyDeleteTHIS. IS. AMAZING. Loveth this look!
ReplyDeleteI love the oversized blazer in this outfit, looks great!

I agree with him it's more Diane Keaton, but there is some Denise in there too - adore her style (was actually just thinking about that yesterday, weird).
