OOTD: Colbalt Cool

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend.

I've been dying to style these amazing cobalt blue pants I picked up at H&M last Friday. When I tried them on...oooo weee...they sucked in and hugged all the right places, the price was right at $19.90 and I knew I had a winner! Considering the fact that they don't have belt loops and still fit my waist AND hips (a frequent problem I have with my pants)....it was a PLUS PLUS PLUS!! There are so many ways I foresee styling these pants. I'm definitely inspired.

Street Style: Harem Pants

I have been wanting a pair of harem pants for as long as I can remember, but I never did because I didn't think they were particularly flattering for my body type. But FASHION FIND these totally are!!! I picked up these beauties in one of my favorite NYC boutiques...DeJenaro. The clothing line is called ChancesR and I loved them so much I bought a black and white pair as well. 

First, let me start off by saying these are the most comfortable pants I have ever worn! They're so versatile, you can dress them down as I have done with a T-shirt, classic denim jacket and sneakers. Or pair them with a sheer top, blazer and strappy heels for a dressier look. 

The print takes it from a lounge pant silhouette to something more sophisticated, but the key to wearing harem pants is to incorporate structured pieces into your outfit otherwise you will look like you're going to bed lol

Ootd: Navy & Black

I'm back Islers!!!

I've been on vacation & will be sharing a post with pics very soon ;-) In the meantime I decided to share my new obsession...these navy and black tuxedo inspired pants I purchased from H&M yesterday. 

I regularly wear the oh-so-chic navy and black color combo, so I was immediately drawn to these gems. Happily they suck me in in all the right places and have enough room in the back (a frequent problem I have with pants/jeans)...perhaps a little too sexy for the office but I couldn't wait to wear them so here I am. I'm being brave today! :-/
