Are you brave enough?

I'm not gonna lie- I've been wearing my sweatpants fairly regularly lately. I have fun with clothes, and I love dressing up, but I like to dress for the occasion, and these days, the occasion is usually another solo dance party in my studio apartment. Obviously, the comfort and ease of sweatpants is what wins me over when it's cold in the morning and I'm just trying to make some breakfast. But what keeps me in them is laziness. Thank heavens for dance music. Lately I've been asking if you're brave enough to let me see your peacock, and yesterday while I was dancing, I got hot but was jamming too hard to stop and change, so I just pulled up the legs on my sweatpants and sagged them on my hips instead of wearing them at my waist, and my heart soared. This is a look that is near and dear to my heart but had been forgotten. Naturally, it came back to me when I needed it most.
It's a real flashback to my middle school days and the dance moves I'd bust out at the school dances. As soon as the DJ started playing "Creep" by TLC, I would do the butterfly, and you know it. The ladies of TLC, Aaliyah, and Gwen Stefani were just some of the super cool babes who rocked some saggy baggy pants, and I love them for it.

Later, when I was looking on youtube for people dancing to Peacock (important research), I found another superbabe mastering this look. And oh my god, I am in love with her choreography. It is soooooo much fun.




There's a tutorial for "Rude Boy" but I'm finding it difficult. Mostly because I have about two feet of floor space. I need a dance studio- BAD. Don't we all?

my STUPID internet wont let me watch the videos because I don't pay for it so it's slow.

But i totally loved the long slung huge pants look. I used to buy (slash still do?http://jessicaboots.blogspot.com/2010/04/on-wholesome-family-whimsical-fairytale.html) old mens pants, which of course were HUGE, and wear them nice and lowly slung on the hips. I was so hot.
