To me, this whole look says “I’m a competent news reporter in a rom-com set in 1979,” and as hard as that may be to believe, it’s a compliment from me. It’s very Mary Tyler Moore-adjacent — though Mare’s top would have been a ribbed sweater and not so shiny, and therefore it would have been better — and it makes me want to run home and put on the trousers I call my Christmas Pants, as they are basically just like this but red plaid, because deep down, I am a crazy person. (Hers are Michael Kors; mine were LL Bean, which really tells you all you need to know.)

There’s a surprise under that (slightly too long) pant leg, too:

HELLO SHOES.
