Outfit of the Day: Wide Leg Trousers Twice!

Hello Kittens!


Continuing on with catching up on my Outfit of the Days I present to you two outfits from the end of December 2016.


Outfit of the Day (Saturday late December):

It was a cold a wet day when I wore this outfit out and I just didn't feel like donning on a dress. In summary, it was the perfect day for some wide leg trousers!

I got these pants, the Conference Room Coffee pants, a couple years ago from Modcloth (still available). They are also known as the Glenda Chevron Swing Trousers by Collectif. They are worn here without the detachable suspenders. I wore this with a Trashy Diva Ashley top in Wine Dots (old from the original run of Wine Dots) which I got last year from a swap and sell group. I paired this with a burgundy beaded cardigan by Free People which I got from ebay last year. For a finishing touch I also wore a burgundy beret I got a couple years ago though I forget where I got it from.

Outfit of the Day (Day before New Years Eve):

The day before New Year's Eve Tim and I went over to a friends house for a UFC viewing party. Once again, I felt more inclined to wear pants rather than a dress this day so I donned on my Collectif Lorenza Swing Trousers which I got several years ago from Modcloth. I paired this with a custom hand knit sweater I bought last year from a gal on a swap and sell group (she also sells through her etsy shop, Ains and Elke StyleHaus). For finishing touches I wore this with a purple beret I got a couple years ago from Nordstrom Rack and a cat brooch I got last year from Miss Polly's Lucite

  2. I love both of these trouser looks. You shine in them! How practical do you find the length of that first pair? I just bought a pair of really long (never usually happens!) trousers but am probably going to hem them to about the length of your second pair, just because of puddles etc.! X

    1. Thanks Porcelina! I definitely have to hem the first pair again! I already hemmed them by several inches but didn't get them short enough! It's a pain though to have to redo them again but definitely not practical as is especially since they are still that long when I'm wearing heels! :O Can't wait to see your new trousers! :D

  4. Love seeing you in pants! Love both and I almost have gotten the ModCloth coffee ones several times but never pulled the trigger for some reason! XO

    1. Thanks Lauren! I love the coffee ones I got from Modcloth! I'd highly recommend them for a different look. I love that the suspenders are detachable!

  5. You look great in trousers - you should wear them more often.

    I have not yet tried wide leg trousers but I am really tempted

    1. Thanks Rebecca! It's definitely nice to be able to mix things up with some pants sometimes! Especially when it's cold and wet outside and I'm just not in the mood for dresses. I highly recommend Collectif for trousers. Though, I think they are the only brand I've tried yet for wide leg... Modcloth has some on sale currently (though I have yet to try this particular pair myself). Might be something to look into if you are interested in trying some :) http://www.modcloth.com/shop/pants/reminisce-and-tell-pants Collectif's website directly is also a great source for trousers. They have great sales every now and then though shipping from England is not the most fun to pay for :( Good luck! Hope you find a pair you love this year!
