Zara Blouse, F21 Belt and Ring, H&M Pants, Vintage Glasses, Gryson Bag,  Marni Wedges

When I brought these pants into the dressing room at H&M, the sales girl literally laughed in my face.  I suppose at first glance the dropped crotch and tapered legs don’t seem as though they’d be flattering or comfortable, but they’ve quickly become one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe.  Best of all, they can just as easily be dressed up with a vintage looking blouse and heels as they can with a pair of flat sandals and an old t-shirt.  The one negative? They’re thick.  And it was 92° yesterday.

    The pants look stunning on you! And the orange heels? Perfection. Somehow you manage to pull of the harem pants and make them look very chic and professional. Kudos to ya!

    I’m NOT a harem pants fan but these are very subtle…I have no clue why she laughed at you, I hope she saw how awesome they looked after you tried them on!

    The shoes – I die, as always.
