la chouette en dimanche: Things I Have Never Done Before

I have a lot of friends who are from the Middle East. It is sort of just one of the results of going to university in Chicago. One of my best friends, Derya, is capable of styling just about anything and making it look fantastically chic. She's tall, thin, beautiful and Turkish; apparently in Instanbul, such fashions as Harem pants are common. I have seen her wear them many times and have always thought, "I would love to wear Harem pants and be able to pull them off with out looking stupid."

Ok, so these are NOT traditional Harem pants. They are the modernized version from Charlottle Russe but, I still feel like they are a fashion risk for me. I am not sure why I consider them risky. Maybe because I don't feel as fashionably chic as my friend Derya. I think these should have been styled with heels; maybe strappy sandals. What do you all think?

Tank: Forever 21

Necklace: Vintage

Harem Pants: Charlotte Russe

Bangles: Gift from my friend Jaya on her trip home to India

Sandals: Target

Also could see it with a more fitted top worn with a large 'collar' style necklace.; May 1, 2010 at 4:37 PM
