Bohemian sparkle

I'll be the first to admit my outfit today is a bit frumpy.  I'm going to call it Bohemian instead.  I think that has a much nicer ring to it.  I spent so much time ironing my hair this morning that I didn't have time to iron my clothes.

The number one rule for wearing harem pants is they need to be ironed or else they look like pajamas.  The first thing I did this morning was break that rule.  Whoops.

So, instead of focusing on the wrinkles on my pants, let's focus on my stick straight hair.  Nary a wrinkle in sight.  Or my metallic plated scarf.  Because what else is a girl to do when she wants to cover up her unironed clothes?  Layer a huge, beautiful, sparkly scarf and hope that takes the attention away from things that were neglected.

Let's marvel at the scarf, shall we?

I dream a genie

This summer I started wishing I was a genie.  Just kidding, but I did want to give the harem look a try.  I finally found these harem pants on Etsy and I couldn't have been more thrilled.  Since my legs don't see a lot of sunlight, I was looking for something comfortable, casual and fashionable to get me through the southern heat without offending anyone with my stems.  Plus, it is a bonus that sweat can run down your legs on a 100 degree day and no one will have any clue as to the wardrobe malfunction going on.  See?  Win-win.

My intention was to wear them during the summer but lo and behold, they look good with boots too. Double win.  Boots + extra long cardigan + harem pants =  perfect Fall outfit.
