Style Watch- Wide Leg Pants

Ok, I'll admit, when my grandma got me some new wide leg brown pants, I thought it looked like it should belong in my dad's closet.  No lie.  Then I figured out how to play it off and make it look terrific!  So.  I made this outfit on Polyvore to demonstrate.

Style Watch- Wide Leg Jeans by candee*rain [requests open] featuring Old Navy shoes

The wide legs and wedges are from Old Navy, one of my most favorite stores in the WORLD.  The top is from Miss Selfridge, also one of my favorite labels. The bag is from PacSun and the belt is Aero.

How to Wear it:

1. Find a pair that actually fits.  You want a nice, clean look that you can't achieve if you're wearing pants too-big at the waist.  Also, if you're my age (12) then you'll also want to have pants that you DON'T trip over. If you're wearing wedges, then it's fine to have pants that drape.  Actually, it looks better when it drapes.

2.  Find a good top.  When wearing these pants/jeans your legs will look longer, and your torso will look slim(because of the proportioning).  What you want to avoid is wearing tunics, babydolls, etc, with them, because it makes your bod look "fat" all around.  Wear tight tees and frilly/girly blouses with them, but if it is a tee, make sure it is patterned or else it will look boring.  

3. Tuck it in!  If possible, tuck in the shirt you are wearing with it, because it makes your middle look much tinier than it really is.  This also makes it look better.  Tighten with a leather or rope belt for effect.

4. Big bag it! Find a tote you love(no Veras, please) and use that to take your things around.

Style Watch- Romping in Style

The new style- rompers.

OK, so a romper is basically a onesie that you romp around in... haha!  Rompers usually look good on people without very much curves.  So if you have a big booty, this is not your look.  Sorry.  If you do decide to go with this look, then your hair should be loose and flowing (and wavy, if possible), you should have minimal jewelry- a braided or beaded necklace will do.  Also, if the romper doesn't have a belt, (most do) then wear a simple braided one on it.  Your shoes should be wedges or flip-flops...NO SNEAKERS OR FLATS!... and your bag, if any, should just be a plain canvas tote.  All the focus is on the romper.  

Charlottle Ronton has good rompers... the one above is actually Charlotte Ronton.  Macy's sells rompers, too.  And rompers aren't always onesies with shorts... some are actaully cute dresses! :)

Here is a link to some great rompers that Old Navy has.
