Harem Scarem

So how do we feel about Harem pants?  I have seen a number of people totally rock various iterations of the look, and as a result they have been playing on my mind for months.

After much online browsing, I decided the style I wanted was more of a harem legging, as I generally prefer a slim leg, which I found at Urban Outfitters.  I wore them for the first time today... and loved them.

sleeveless jacket : zara
jersey top : cotton on
harem leggings : urban outfitters
booties : hush puppies
clutch : guess

There are some fabulously stylish harem pants available, two of my favourites would be Une Femme d'un Certain Age (Eilleen Fisher) and Odyssey Home (Rick Owens) (scroll down to the blog post for 19/4/13)




As we head into Winter here, I see these being quite a versatile item.  Worn with a mid length slightly oversized topper for casual and a structured blazer for work.
 

So are harem pants on your radar?  They are a garment that appears to sit on the fringe.  Never truly in style but never out of style!  To my mind this makes them an 'alternate classic'.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Sylvia at 40+ Style for interviewing me for her Style Interview series.  It was a real highlight to be included on a blog I have read and enjoyed for a number of years.


And I am linking up once again with the fabulous Patti over at Visable Monday @ Not Dead Yet Style

Daily!

Along with taking my blog photos, I also try to take a daily photo of my outfits before for I head out each morning.  It's amazing what I learn and my daily photo has been the catalyst for a number of recent Ebay sales!

As a result of some serious problems with my laptop, and time constraints, today's post contains some quick morning snaps of a few of my outfits from the past week.



tube dress : kmart
top : complexgeometries
sandals : django & juliette




silky tee : target
slouchy pants : sportsgirl
open toe booties : rubi

open weave sweater ; target
crop pants : rivers
sandals : myer
bag : things terrific

I wonder, do you take daily outfit photos.  Do you find them helpful? What do you do when the mirror says one thing and the camera another?
Thanks for dropping by.
Have a wonderful week!
