So this is just a quick post to prove that even us fashion industry ‘experts’ can get it wrong sometimes! I was looking for some cool pants for winter that I could wear around the house, but also to uni and on the weekends. Preferably not jeans, me and jeans are not friends. I also bought a fun pair of ankle boots yesterday and I wanted a lighter colour pant to match with them as I think black will be too much of a contrast.
Enter these pants…. I’m not going to say where they are from because this post is not about how crap these pants are, it’s more to show you that everyone gets things wrong in the change rooms – even me!!
We all have different body shapes so the same clothes will look different on every body. These pants just show off the bits that I usually try to hid (my thighs) and make me look short (if that is possible). On another body shape, (or in a different colour or fabric) these pants would look amazing!
The point of me showing you this is to let you know not to be disheartened by change room mishaps (or in this case dis.as.ter!!). Not everything is going to look amazing right away (or at all) but that is no excuse to stop looking! Sometimes you need to try things with a belt, or the right pants, or a higher pair of heels to get the full effect of how it is going to look its best.
So don’t give up!! (and if you think you can never get it right? give me a call – I’m much better at dressing other people than dressing myself!!)
So here is how I got it OH SO WRONG haha! Yes, go ahead, laugh at my pants, I am!
I have to say that I did then make myself fell much better by scoring an absolute bargain at Country Road. A black leather belt marked down from $129 to $4.95, yes that is just a 4!! Hopefully next time we talk, I can bring you something else that I got right just so you still believe I know what I am talking about!
What is your latest fashion disaster? How did you over come it? Did you get back on the (clothes) horse?
Hey Cait! Oh my gosh, I totally relate. I actually bought a pair of pants like that, but then returned them the next day…I have an hourglass figure but also really skinny ankles, so you can imagine that the whole look was completely bizarre!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I’m so glad I looked at your blog! You seem like a really awesome girl. It’s great to find another Sydney blogger! I’ll definitely be back! xo
Thanks Carla – I love that the names of our blogs are so similar!! Yes, those pants + an hourglass figure = not so fun!! (Although I have several AWESOME pairs of harem pants in jersey, I think that is the trick, slinky fabrics!) Can’t wait to read your next post! Cx
OK so it was not a recent slip-up but one I will CERTAINLY never live down… Sooo somehow in 2000 when Buffy was queen and hair wasn’t hair unless it was piled up high with glitter hairspray… I owned a pair of P-Leather pants. Yep. Mmm. That’s Plastic-leather or fake leather pants peeps. HolyFloppingHell why oh why oh why???
My ONLY saving grace was that I was in GREAT company! 🙂 Any comments??!
I have nothing to say about that…. 🙂
