Harem Skarem

March 15, 2014

Yesterday's outfit: silk paneled Aiko tee with harem pants - I think it was Janet who introduced us to Aiko at Marshall's last Shoptoberfest? I didn't end up pouncing on the sweater that day, but I found this tee while browsing around last week. Perfect for busy days running up and down the stairs. 

You've seen these harem pants before, but last time I wore them scrunched with tall boots. Here they are in all their full-length glory. I really, really dig the heavier crepe fabric of these much more than the thin silk harem pants I had previously. I feel more "dressed" somehow. :) 

Aiko tee - Marshall's
Vince harem pants - Rack
Pearl bracelets - $1 for the pile at flea market
Crocs sandals - Crocs

    Such a pretty t-shirt! The bracelets are a great finishing touch too.

    Wow, I absolutely LOVE that top, Rae, and the pants look great. I know what you mean about the fabrication weight. For me to enjoy that type of pant it would have to feel a bit substantial

    You look fab! And thank you for introducing me to the brand Aiko. I really like their use of graphics in many of their items, especially your tee.

    I love this! The top is amazing and I love how it pairs with the pants. I am going to go look for Aiko tees now.

    Are those the vince harems with the zippers at the ankle? I tried those on last week and sent them back as the pleats started right at my widest point and flared out in an awful way on me. They look amazing on you though!

    I always enjoy your post titles :)

    I totally love this outfit. Great graphic tee and it works so well with the pants.

  • Adelfa replied 10 years ago

    I love this outfit! The straight lines of the top with the soft lines of the pants are a really nice combination.

  • rae replied 10 years ago

    Thanks, ladies!

    Diana, yes these have the ankle zips. Hm, bummer about the pleats on you; that is usually a problem for me, too, but for some reason these were okay. Maybe it is a rise issue? 

    CC, you know it never occurred to me to look someplace other than Marshall's... Must go remedy that now!

I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
