WIW : I Heart My Harems

Hi Fabbers!

I love my Harem Leggings so much I wore them again today!

One of the places I sometimes look for inspiration is the Sarah Pacini website. I was perusing Winter 2013 and there were some great harem pants outfits. Tall boots and lots of texture...I was besotted:)

So here' what I came up with for today and I'm posting my inspiration picture as well. Not that I need to point it out :) but #6 is the SP inspiration.

Harem leggings tucked loosely into tall suede wedge heel boots. Open weave, textured sweater layered over a simple black cotton camisole top. The sweater I bought in my early YLf days when they were trending but I never wore it much despite liking it. I didn't feel to pass it on tho, and I'm glad because I think I see more ways to wear it now. Accessories, leather warped bracelet, silver rings and silver hoop earrings, and a plaited leather belt which was a Mothers Day gift about 6 years ago.

For outside I added a long, drape knit sleeveless cardigan (?)/gilet (?). I have had it for nearly 9 years:). It's by Witchery and I wear it every winter. It can be worn long or short (just turn it upside down:) and I don't think I have ever posted it before. It reminds me a little of something I saw recently on AllSaints website.

Hope everyone had / is having a great day. Have I done Sarah Pacini proud?

Thanks doe looking.

xxxDeborah

    You sure have done SP proud. This is fantastic Deb! Arty, dramatic and JFE. Love it.

    What a great outfit, very cool and you look fantastic. You have inspired me to add more texture to my wardrobe. :)

    You have done Sarah Pacini very proud...I love the harem leggings...They make your outfit rock and the drape knit sleeveless cardigan is TDF...Good job...

    Love the harem trousers, love the textural interest, love the long cardigan. Great outfit, Deborah, and there's fab inspiration to be found with Sarah Pacini for sure.

    Oh, and absolutely love the new 'do too!

    You've nailed the look, Deborah. Thanks for the tip on the Sarah Pacini website; I like her designs and haven't looked them up in a while. I love the long sweater over it all, too. Super fab! Isn't it funny how sometimes your taste for a garment (like your pullover here) precedes your style, in a way? I've had that happen before, where I bought something but didn't get into wearing it till some time later.

    This is one I'll remember for a loooooong time. Maybe my favourite on you ever. No idea about Sarah Pacini, btw, I'll check it later. But, I don't care. This is your look.

    And I have to have/buy/make a wf-gilet like that. I'd wear my cardigan of similar style all the time if I could, why did it never cross my mind to have a gillet too? Too obvious, that's why :-D

    Lovely.

    So dramatic! You look great in the harems. No wonder you love them. 

  • Elizabeth P replied 9 years ago

    Fabulous outfit Deborah.  Love all the texture.  And you certainly do harems proud!

  • rachylou replied 9 years ago

    Ya, I heart them too :D Saw you on the Wall and came over just to say so.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 9 years ago

    Gorgeous.

  • Eliza replied 9 years ago

    You rock these.  Beautifully done!

  • Deborah replied 9 years ago

    Thanks for all the harem love...:)  I was sooo tempted to wear them again today but I didn't lol.  Business meetings so went with a more slouchy tailored pant.  Kicking myself though as I went to order another pair (now on sale) but none left in my size.  Might have to ration the wear :)

    uber uber uber cool. enough said.

  • fuzzylogic replied 9 years ago

    You have styled these beautifully, yet again Deborah! Totally loving that long sleeveless vest!

  • Aida replied 9 years ago

    Ridiculously awesome layering and textures! Now that's how to take inspiration and run with it ^^

  • MsLuna replied 9 years ago

    LOVE THIS! Deborah, I always look forward to your comfy avant garde outfits! WOWOW! Seeing what you've done and the inspiration outfit is making me want to try harem leggings now! Gorgeous!

  • Fruitful replied 9 years ago

    ooh wow! Love them both with the jumper tucked, and that incredible long draped cardigan!

  • Jaime replied 9 years ago

    Great inspiration has led to greater results. Love!

  • AJ replied 9 years ago

    A textural, layered masterpiece!! So very FAB and better than the inspiration! Well done!

  • CocoLion replied 9 years ago

    Great outfit, the textures and layers are so interesting to look at.  And you are so clever to tuck the harems both bottom and top!  Even if there was an inspiration source.  ;-)  Must try this out myself.  Well, the top part at least -- I don't even own tall boots, and if I did, it would be 5 months before I could wear them.

  • Neel replied 9 years ago

    Wow! So dramatic and beautiful! Love everything about it! The coat being the best!

  • Lyn D. replied 9 years ago

    FAB!

  • Missey replied 9 years ago

    I think Sarah Pacini should look to you for inspiration!  What an amazing outfit on you!

  • lyn67 replied 9 years ago
