Big Trousers

So, still stuck in my summer rut and rather thinking that, with this current weather, i may as well go straight into my autumn wardrobe i have found a few old delights at the depths of my wardrobe. One such item is a formerly much beloved pair of harem pants. Bought three years ago (i think) as my Christmas dinner outfit the said trousers were since been worn for a variety of occasions - including, unfortunately, fancy dress - but were then relegated to the back of my drawers. Marc Jacobs' s/s '07 collection saw many balloon type, voluminous trousers in grey, beige and cream tones. This woman - off Facehunter.blogspot.com - successfully pulls off the trousers in a sophisticated, layered fashion in more neutral tones.

Unfortunately, i do not do layering (i am trying but a slightly chubby 5ft 3" frame just doesn't yell "layer me", i just end up looking like a snow ball, rolling down the hill gathering more snow) and am far too young for a neutral pallet. Therefore, I'm far more likely to rock my harem pants in truly eighties inspired fashion, like this woman from hel-looks.com below. I apologise now.
