Arabian Nights the DIY Way

As I was on a roll this week with outfits from my vintage splurge, I was determined to debut the terminal blouse which was as yet unworn. So with buttons changed (white to grey) and a ambivalent* leopard print scarf, I couldn't make up one's mind what bottom half to wear with it – I really wanted to article of clothing my new cherry-red boots again merely I was still perplexed every bit to what trousers work with them (autonomously from leggings – yawn). Whilst trying on different trousers last night, I initially settled for a dull wide-legged black trousers pick when I had a revelation: tucking them into my boots would look so much better (why hibernate fabulous boots), simply they'd never stay in there unless they were gathered at the hem like harem pants. Ane nervously hopeful visit to my sewing box later unearthed a pack of thin elastic – I threaded it through the hems and tied the ends together and ta-daa, one pair of instant harem pants!

And so a naff former lady'due south blouse from ebay and black trousers with a bit of elastic added to them can work miracles… I. Love. THIS. LOOK. I retrieve it might be my favourite yet. Anyone agree?

*I purposely wore leopard print with a floral impress today afterward a blogger left a comment on my last mail service stating that mixing two unlike patterns "doesn't look good". I wasn't trying to be difficult, I was but trying again! Maybe I didn't become the pattern clash right on that occasion, but I disagree that you shouldn't mix patterns at all: I love the pattern clashes worn by Beth of B.JonesStyle , Kasmira of WhatIWore2Day and of grade the amazing Blair of Atlantic-Pacific . I know yous tin't delight everyone, just I hope these champion bloggers volition alter her heed…
