slouchy & cuffed





{pants: ZARA; sweater: GAP; bomber jacket: FCUK (in-store, love this one};
hat: Club Monaco (other colours); pumps: GUESS; sunglasses: Prada}

I'm not normally one to buy pants because I'm petite and it's a hassle having to hem them (plus, I'm a girlie girl and love skirts and dresses).  But for some reason (maybe it's because I'm getting really tired of the freezing cold weather lately), I'm really into pants.  I ordered a pair of yellow pants from zara.com recently and they fit perfectly, so I ordered these blue ones that I also had my eye on in the same size.  These fit looser and I probably could go down a size but then I decided I like the slouchy fit.  They are even a bit too long (even though they're "cropped"), which I thought might be a reason to return them, but I love them so much I decided they were worth hemming.  Then as I was looking online for some inspiration for my outfits this week, I noticed a lot of cuffed pants (whether self-cuffed or not, I'm not sure) so I decided to self-cuff these and voila! - a pair of unintentionally slouchy, cuffed pants that are my new favourite.  (Plus, these give me room to eat a cupcake, or two.)

plaid mini

I have been obsessed with plaid this season, particularly skirts.  But I came across so many - in different lengths and colours - that I had a hard time deciding on one.  When I saw this Free People one, it was an easy decision.  I love the pleats and the leather waistband, which make this skirt unique from any others I saw.  Plus, I already bought two red plaid pieces this season (a pair of amazing Paige Denim jeans and a Textile Elizabeth & James sweatshirt).  It was nice to add a black and white plaid item to my closet.
