Pleats + Drapes

Jan 20, 2009







Yesterday, I went on a hunt for a pair of comfortable trousers that I can wear in the airplane for my trip to Madrid this Friday. I've pretty much sworn off track pants (unless I'm heading to the gym. Actually, I dont even wear it to the gym. I wear jazz pants instead) or leggings (I hear you, Blair! Tights/Leggings=same difference) so there really weren't many options left for me. I was determined to find my 'plane pants' anyway so I braved the snow and headed over to Topshop, Zara and H&M in the hopes of finding something chic and comfortable. I left the 3 shops with 3 tops, 3 skirts, and a pair of gorgeous structured black pants...but my elusive 'plane pants' were still no where to be found.

By the time I entered House of Fraisers, I had seriously lost all hope of ever finding them. That was, until I saw these black draped cotton jersey pants! I am in love with them. The side drapes fall beautifully and they are so seriously comfy...I'm thinking of wearing them to bed when I get tired of wearing them out. :)

Those pants!
I love all pants that drape, drop-crotch, make some funny shape and then get as skinny as leggings as it they reach your ankles.

Sans - aah, ukay's one of the things i miss most about manila...i mean after you guys of course!! hahaha.

i will have fun in madrid..i need to be inspired again. this city is giving me nothing.

honey bunny- thanks, dear :D

keren- yeah, im not really a big fan of trousers but all the interesting shapes for a/w 08 and s/s 09 are making me cave. ive just bought 3 pairs in the last week...and that's huge news for me someone who has survived six seasons without purchasing any.

ester- the belt is old. im still obsessed with it though :D

stilleto effect, liss-aaw, thanks!

penelope- thanks! yes, i love rosanna's jeans too. her creativity really blows me away :D

i admit i love fashion a lot. i love them more than boys. seriously. well anyway, i noticed your blog to be sooo into fashion so now you are so in my bookmark list. :) i love fashionable clothes and accessories but i would die for the cheap ones too. but if it's worth investing then i'm game on it even though i am still a student with no earnings at all. :(

i wonder if you could advice me where to find good and cheap ones too and the ones on sale. i so love your blog!

MORE POWER!

xoxo.

hanna said... Best Blogger Tips

zoe, lovemore,becky,siljie, daisy, lottie, bella, MR style - thanks so much! :D

lloyda - go wear them!! i want to see the outfit you come up with ;)

bai a labi- hahaha!! i love fashion more than boys too. in fact i should just give up on finding a man and just marry fashion.

about finding reasonably priced accessories...there are lots of places in manila where you can find gorgeous things on the cheap. Greenhills has loads of enamel bangles and random little trinkets! SM has some pretty good stuff too. Also, why not try rummaging through your lola's baul? Im sure she has some vintage accessories that you could borrow/steal from her. :D

Lovely outfit, the trousers are amazing and they will definatly be comfy on the plane! It's always such a dilemma, what to wear in airports and on planes, especially long flights...I love the shoes too! Char x

Char - Thanks a lot, dear :D I know what you mean! Sadly comfort and fashion dont always go together which makes plane dressing is a real dilemma :(

LA Mode is RAD, Larita, Mo, Choo, Anonymous- thank you!!

Jasmina- yeah, ive tried them on with about a million tops! I cant wait to wear it differently. :D And i agree, these pants are so much easier to pull off than the other hareem pants ive seen in the high street.
