Once in a lifetime

Feast your eyes, ladies and gentlemen, because this is one of the maybe 5 times a year I wear pants. Is that problematic, like how some girls haven’t worn a dress/skirt since their 12th birthday? Or is it just what I prefer? My problem isn’t so much with the pants: I love my lower half. I just have a mostly hate-relationship with tops. Either they are too simple, or they are too much, and most of the time they aren’t flattering at all on me when combined with pants. Shorts or skirts, I can manage, but pants usually make my shape look a bit masculine. I prefer the typical female proportions of small shoulders, narrow ribcage and wider hips. Oh well, we all have our hangups.

pants: zara

coat: pimkie

sweater: h&m

shoes: sac d'anvers

Anyway, what I meant to say was that these are actually my favorite pants, I think. Even though I hardly wear them. They just fit like a dream and have such a cool retro cut to them, plus they were ike 10 euros in the sales at Zara. Only problem: what to wear on top? With a black top, it becomes boring. With a white top, it just emphasizes me being broader in my shoulders than in my hips. I haven’t really tried prints with it, but I feel apprehensive about it because that is a whole lot of look. And somehow, a different bright color would make the pants look too casual? Or too soccer mom? :D
So I went with grey: safe. And to keep it from being too boring, I went with sequined grey. I quite like the result as it reminded me of the quintessential first-pants-for-women in the 50s-60s look. Mess my hair up a bit, wear peeptoes (I was contemplating socks in heels but that would be not-me :D), bright red lips and retro fake glasses et voila.
As you can see, the weather sucks here. Why must I live in a region where 4 days of good weather always get alternated by 6 days of shit weather? Let me know plz. Hope you like it!
