LookBook // B is for Bohemian Pants (Part 2/2)

In my previous post HERE, I feature my printed 'bohemian' pants and showed you one way in which I styled it - comfy and casual for the airport/traveling. I will rave a little bit about those pants - they are incredibly comfy! The most comfiest and softest and lightest pants on earth!

Here's where to find some that are similar to mine:

Most commonly known as harem pants, many people may have seen them as the type of pants for slouching around or for more casual days. Some people may not even dare wear them out! But this has all changed. Bohemian/Harem pants are slowly being worn by people for all sorts of occasions. The best part? They come in tons of different cuts, patterns, colours... and are super comfortable! A favourite of mine are these colourful tribal printed harem pants from eBay. Want! They've been seen on the runway:

I went collage crazy and created some LookBook creations to hopefully inspire you to wear this daring trend:

Harem Pants: Forever 21 // Cami top: Dorothy Perkins // Black cardigan: H&M // Sandals: Wolf&Badger // Bag: Roxy

I actually wore this look to the airport (HERE). It's incredibly slouchy but super comfy so it's perfect for slouching around during the weekends or for traveling! Pair it with cute beaded sandals and a bag that is just the right size to carry all your essentials and you're ready to board that plane (:

Harem Pants: Forever 21 // Tank top: Mango // Embellished Blazer: Dorothy Perkins //  Boots: Jeffery Campbell //   Bag: Target // Belt: Dorothy Perkins Much more polished and daring. Especially with those Jeffery Campbells! The studded white blazer pulls the look together and transforms it very casual to a more polished look. Grab an oversized black bag and match it with a black belt to cinch the waist and you're good to go (:

Harem Pants: Forever 21 // Blouse: H&M //  Belt: Black.co.uk // Pumps: Michael Antonio //

 Envelope purse: Shoebox

Who says you can't wear harem pants to the office? Simply pair it with a conservative black blouse - a wardrobe essential - a pair of not-so-high heels, a belt to bring the whole look in and an envelope purse for your things. You can opt for a coloured one for a pop of colour amongst the neutrals.

3 Tips on wearing harem pants:
1. Your call: There are different cuts and styles so choose one that flatters you! If you're more on the petite side, choose one with a leaner cut so it won't drown you out!
2. Slim on top: Balance the bagginess of the pants with a more fitted top - whether it be a simple tank top or crop top.
3. Heels: Not only will it add height to your frame, but also slim down the leg with counteract the bagginess How would you wear harem/bohemian pants? Part 1 is HERE

B is for Bohemian Pants

Tank top: Esprit

Bohemian pants: Bought in Vietnam - unbranded

Cardigan: Bought in Vietnam - unbranded

Bohemian pants, gypsy pants, Aladdin pants, harem pants...call it what you want, but these pants are the most comfortable thing on earth. I was hesitant at first to get it because both my mum and the boyfriend didn't really like it but it was 100,000 VND (£3.10 or US$4.70) so I thought it wouldn't hurt. 

The material is extremely light and flowy which makes moving around very easy! It also cinches at the ankles to give a more defined look. I'm also in love with the aztec-y print!

I actually wore this outfit to the airport - in case you can't tell by the change in environment, I'm in Malaysia now! - and it's perfect for sitting on the plane. Of course, the pants were the star of the show so I just paired it with a simple, plain tank top and cardigan. 

If I could, I would wear this all day. Great for lounging around on those lazy days or maybe even dress it up for casual outings! I think this pair will be my go-to traveling pants :D Heheh

Here's a close up:

The waistband is elastic so it's adjustable (:

Such a lovely print (:

Anyway, here's how my packing process went:

1. Throw everything you think you should bring on the bed

2. Eliminate ones that you may not wear/ Pack versatile pieces, fold and voila!

Random selfie.

Of course, I couldn't get off the plane without taking some cloud photos. Aren't they so pretty and fluffy? Always wondered how they stay suspended...

I have a bittersweet feeling about coming to Malaysia for summer holiday though... I love seeing my relatives and do a bit of shopping (Summer Sale anyone?) but this also means that I won't get to see the boyfriend until 4.5 months later :(
