Wearing: Slitty pants

I couldn't stop daydreaming about these 3.1 Phillip Lim pants (see this post for more Limsanity), so when I found a look alike pair at H&M I died and went to weird-pant heaven. They also came in a gorgeous peach color but they didn't have my size.

The pants look good with anything, but on a chilly night I topped them with a frump sweater that has the perfect color block combination. And yes, I did do the hair tucked in shirt look again...for at least one picture anyway.

  • Color block turtle neck: Forever 21 (This is cool too)
  • Slit pants: H&M
  • Furry clutch: Thrifted
  • Metallic sandals: Zara

Catching mono

The good kind.

There's a new way to color block and it's super complicated. Alls ya gotta do is block the same color (yes, black counts). I know, life is hard.

Wearing a few items all in the same color makes a powerful, yet simple statement. Fear not the possibility of you looking like a crayon missing your cone hat. Use different fabrics, edgy accessories, and natural make-up. And please, for crayons' sake, do avoid exercising this trend in groups.
