Camouflaged


I'm well aware that drop crotch pants aren't for everyone. They certainly aren't a number one male-pleaser (we're not really trying to impress them though are we?)... but I still totally dig them. They have certain coolness about them that when rocked with confidence totally works. 


Helmut Lang Blazer (similar styles).  Funktional Top.  Zara Pants.  DVF Booties.  
The Row Sunglasses.  Alexander Wang Bag.

I spotted these seemingly expensive looking pants on a few ladies while out and about earlier this month and was pleasantly surprised to find them at Zara. They have the ideal post-Thanksgiving slouchiness going on. 


Speaking of Zara, I only shop at the 5th Avenue location now. It's so well organized for how large it is and I swear they have additional items... oh and the Soho Zara sends me into a slight panic attack. Anyone else agree?

my boyfriend hates the dropped waist pants, but I always have to remind him that women dress for other women, not men lol. I love your outfit--cute blazer!

Rory said...

LOVE those pants. You totally rock them. And yeah, I agree with ^Jin. Women should dress for themselves and other women. What do men know, right??? :)

I just purchased camo pants from Zara, but straight leg. Agreed with the Soho location! I live around the corner. I feel like everything is squished and so disorganized. Loving the blazer.

You look fantastic, as usual!

I was at the 5th Ave location last week and loved how organized and immense it was. And I totally snagged some items that had not hit the web site yet.

I've never tried the drop waist pants but now I'm curious to how I'll look! I always love seeing that Helmut Lang blazer on you! I have yet to find a similar one with a great fit for me!

Sleekest camo outfit ever! I have velvet drop waist pants from Zara!! I haven't worn them yet though, I think at 5' I might be too short to wear it. But maybe I can make it work!!

I can't speak for the NY stores but I know in Toronto I seem to do better at Yorkdale. They definitely get more of the desireable styles. The Queen Street store is aweful, always messy and the selection isn't great.

Love this look on you, I keep trying to decide if I really need the camo pants if I already have army green ...

you´re the only person that looks gorgeous on those pants!!!! love your outfit...great style of course! xo, Alma

That blazer is so emotional. And while the drop waist pants just don't look right on me, you rock them very well :)

Marissa at Style Cusp said...

I cannot stand shopping the SoHo location! It's always a mess + terribly packed. I've been on my last few NYC visits, so overwhelming. I'll have to keep the 5th Ave location in mind for next time.

Totally agree I cannot even begin to talk about just how much I hate the Zara in Soho

BrooklynBlonde said...

Loveeee this so much and completely agree about the Zara's!

Emily said...

Totally agree; when I lived there this summer, the 5th Ave one was farther but completely worth it—just walking by the Soho store is stressful. I miss having a Zara so much!

So cute! I have a pair of grey ones like this. Definitely not a man-pleaser -- but who cares? ;)

Jerrell said...

I loooove those pants! You could wear them so many different ways, but I love how you've dressed them up. And they definitely look expensive. Which is always important :)

These pants are retarded cute. I feel the same way about the Zara in the Westfield vs Post St. in SF....anxiety in a store.

Totally agree about the 5th Ave vs. Soho shop - I assume you mean the 17th street though? The 52nd st. one is nicely laid out but always packed! Waiting in line for a dressing room is not for me...

Love the look!

depends on which 5th ave one-- and as a native ny'er i avoid anything along broadway on soho as much as i avoid times square. so toursity and as result the stores are so much more crappy [in what they carry.] LOVE those zara pants.

Elizabeth said...

Never thought I would like shiny camo pants! Love this look!
