i'm really pushing the humpty dumpty trousers; they're just so bloody refreshing and actually allow your legs to.. well, breathe. who knew something so baggy arsed could look so sexy? Example? Valentine! She oozes sex appeal. Stumbled across picture five on garancedore.fr a couple of days ago and chucked to myself at the comparrisons with my own outfit from the post below. dumpty trousers and shoulder pads; it's really not a great sounding formula. so why is it soso right?
1. Valentine 2. Girl A 3. Michelle Jank 4. Irina L 5. Girl B 6. Kate L

The look is so smart and yet it looks comfy. I wish that I could pull it off, but I'm affraid that I would look just fat. :(

I love Irna's entire look, but the pants are definately the highlight. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAll of them look great but I'm not sure it's for me!
ReplyDeletegreat! wide leg trouser are tres chic.
ReplyDeleteBut the outfitt gotta be good or you could look boring.
irina looks great, i really also really like the girl's rolled up pants.
ReplyDeletelike your picks and the blogpost at all! hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeletei think the best one was Valentine. Don't know why... :)
ReplyDeleteohoh i love this... i've been experimenting with the slouchy blazer myself. but i'm not so sure about how to pull of the trousers.
ReplyDeleteit looks great on them!
Wow- you're right! These do look great! :) x
ReplyDeleteoo, that is a good combo!
ReplyDeletevalentines outfit is gorgz- i luv this style. it's a little katherine hepburn- androgynous chic..
ReplyDeleteValentine is so chic,it pains me to look at her! Love irina l. wearing the tie too.
ReplyDeleteGreat group of photos! I love this look, but have been really hesitant to try it, particularly now that's it's getting hot in Atlanta. Very inspiring though!
ReplyDeleteI like Irina's trousers: very chic and masculine but girly too, in a Annie Hall way.
ReplyDeleteLike it, especially with the drama of the shoulderpads. It's so wrong that it's fashionable good!
ReplyDeleteBut, not seen on me. Def not! I just watch other people rock it, haha!
Check out the leather ones on Lou Doillon: http://streetpeeper.com/?p=3913
ReplyDeletei certainly recommend that you give the look a go if you're interested. just play dress up and play around with the proportions bearing in mind what suits you..
ReplyDeleteand thanks anonymous (speak up!) for the doillon link; how fantastic does she look? but hardly surprising; it is lou!
completely agree with heloise j and aretha about the annie hall/k hepburn comparrisons.
and why does Valentine look the best, c bar? because of that undeniably gorgeous and nonchalant pose!
BIG pants I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteOk, liking this look a lot more after seeing these pics.
ReplyDeleteDiscothequeConfusion: always ahead of the trends! :)

Love these trousers too, with a less voluminous top. I've found J Brand Malik baggy jeans to be perfect for this look.
ReplyDeleteooh i like the first look!
ReplyDeleteOMG I just wore these today!! but if they are really long, you have to wear them with really tall heels that can get annoying!!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are really inspiring. Especially the first one with Valentine.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed your post below. I loved the trouser CV! Your outfit is brilliant
KATE LANPHEAR = NEW GIRL OBSESSION!
ReplyDeletelook out for a post on her soon.
FREAKING LOVE HER!
oooh-ee, Valentine+Irina=girl crushes (They're both just so...interesting. As for Valentine, what is it about French girls and cool dressing?).
ReplyDeleteAHHHHH! Michelle Jank is the best...
ReplyDeletemmm.. still not feeling it (for me anyways)
