Monday Muses: Padma Lakshmi & Krishna Lakshmi

This 70s inspired look that Padma is wearing is a refreshing change from all of the skinny jeans outfits that are ever so popular. Don't get me wrong, I love my skinnies and they'll always be a wardrobe staple, but a pair of flared jeans offers up a different silhouette that I think would be fun to re-visit. Add a little faux fur for both momma and child, and you've got a winning combination.

For Mama:
1) Dorothy Perkins mixed faux fur jacket $35.00 USD
2) Cire Napoli brown leather gloves $69.95 USD
3) Etoile Isabel Marant "Abelo" flared jeans $96.54 USD on sale
4) Jessica Simpson "Callian" boot $138.95 USD
