Something New, Something Old

DIY Chain Hair Band, Planet Blue Departure Top, H&M Trousers, Jenny Yuen Bag, Michael Kors Watch, Vintage Bracelet, Marni Heels  

Dresses are usually my uniform of choice on weekends, since they require little effort and offer optimal comfort.  This top, with its sheer fabric and drapey cut, is one of the items I picked up at Planet Blue last week and I must have already incorporated it into four different outfits.  I finally got around to organizing my closet (it looks more like this again) and rediscovered a ton of old favorites, including these cropped trousers from H&M.  They’re a nice departure from jeans and more forgiving for those weekends when you manage to go out to eat for every meal.

    Hi Emily! I love the oufit! The shoes are so unexpected :)
    I was wondering if you could make a list of some romantic things to do in LA, especially since Valentines day is coming up. I live in Santa Barbara right now and my boyfriend and I are planning to drive down to LA for a date. I would love to hear your opinion! Thank you so much :)

    It’s so fun and unexpected to see you wearing pants! Meanwhile, I am perpetually wedded to my jeans. Love the pop of orange, too.

    very interesting outfit, i like the pleats on the pants they make an interesting contrast to the volume of your pants

  • rebecca

    Not your best.

  • stacy

    You couldn’t put an iron to those pants? You look like a wrinkled mess!

  • Carla

    Not feeling this one. Something just isn’t right.

  • Laurie

    I’m sorry, but I don’t think those pants look good on anyone. If I saw someone wearing them on the street here, I’d have to laugh.

  • http://mandalyzing.blogspot.com Amanda Lalique

    I adore all your outfits and styles to the very detail.. I love the top, watch, and gold headband (you can totally rock those so well) but I think the pants look a bit too wrinkled ….. wedges would look great with this kind of look too

    i just got a similar pair of trousers but considered taking them back because they are a size to big and make me feel like a parachute. but seeing you in these is making me think otherwise! i think i’ll give them a try now and try not to think about the bubble effect :)
