Current Obsession…. Slouchy Trousers

On July 12, 2008 · 28 Comments · In Fall, Wear
Hello Darlings,

Although I love slim jeans and wear them all the time, I have never gotten used to the idea of leggings. Maybe, it's because I feel naked in them... but whatever reason, I've never worn leggings outside of my dance / pilates class. What is your take on leggings ?

The LEAN LOOK has been around for ages and I am slowly developing a love/hate relationship with it. Meanwhile, I have totally fallen in love with slouchy trousers. I just love how effortless they looks and how seductive they make you feel. Plus, it is so easy to dress them up or down.

If the full - leg trousers are too drastic of a change from your skinnies, try boyish tapered pants, like the ones seen at the Isabel Marant fall collection.

As for my outfit, I have made a post of these trousers before. But this night, I was inspired by the Emporio Armani Fall 2008 collection, and the way that the gray trousers were beautiful paired with a sexy champaign coloured top. Here' s is my take on this sexy look:

Inspiration
As I keep on purchasing pieces that will help me to transition into the fall season ... I continue to be inspired by the looks found on the Fall 2008 runways. After seeing Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2008 show, I fell in love with the blazer - vest combination that reminded me of traditional men's tuxedos. Although very hesitant to tryout the duo myself ... I went ahead and did. I decided on pairing the vest with my current obsession( trousers) and a structured velvet blazer such as those seen on the runways of Emporio and Giorgio Armani as well as Zac Posen.
I love the details - structured shoulders, ruffle at the bottom, and the chunky buttons - that give it a feminine feel.

The vest has a really cute slit on the back.

Frustrating Decisions

I was getting ready to go out to a cozy little jazz cafe when I snapped these pictures. Although, I was really excited for the night, I was also overtly frustrated on what to wear? I could not decide on what to pair with the dress : the cardigan or the blazer ... In the end, I chose the blazer. What do you think? Which one would be a better choice for the next time? .... Honest opinions always appreciated ... thanks :)

Although I am a full time Architecture and Fine Art Student and the University of Toronto, I am also working as a research assistant to one of my architecture profs. Since I began this job, my look has been evolving and maturing. And even since, the high waisted look was re- introduced, I've been in love with it, since it creates the most beautiful, classic, and statuesque silhouette. As for my job, I'm absolutely in love with it :)
