While searching for inspiration on Vogue, I ran across a feature about fall’s bright and bold color palette. I had just bought these J Brand pants three days before and I must say I felt pretty fashion forward about the purchase.
Because the pants had a rip right above the knee they were only $3 (I bought them at Gabriel Brothers). That’s right….three smackaroos! You can’t get a soda at the movies for that! Clearly I’m still thrilled about it. But it was a little but of an outfit-building challenge, since it required a relatively neutral colored top and the pants themselves were so funky to begin with. I was confident in buying them though because they took something that I already love (corduroys) and mixed in an upcoming trend. This is a really good way to attempt to pull of something edgy, because it won’t take you too far out of your comfort zone. At the same time, there's a certain undeniably bad ass feeling to wearing an atypical color on something that's typically neutral (such as cords).
Here’s the outfit I put together with the bright pants as the star of the show. Unfortunately my photo doesn’t do justice to their deep teal velvetiness, but I think you will get the gist of it. The subtle leopard print top was a go-to for me all summer, and the gold studded suede shoes have just recently been recruited to the multitudes of my shoe army.
How do you pull off trends while remaining true to your personal style?
