For those who have been following my blog, you might have noticed
that I love to wear slim pants and skinny jeans. However, here comes a time when you want to
get out of your comfort zone and try something different, a case in point, and
my wide leg linen pants.
The 70’s vibe is one of the most wearable trends in 2015
which means flares, of course, a lot of knits and expectantly the choice of
colour is brown. However, you can liven up
this potentially drab shade with rich colours like maroon or copper.
I was just a child at the time but I clearly remember my
older sister wearing wide bottomed pants, thick soled shoes, electric colours
and huge earrings. It seemed like a lot
of fun and I wanted to be a part of it.
Going back to my outfit, truth be told, I have those linen pants
for years. I bought them in Italy 8 years
ago. It was my first trip to Europe on
the way to South Africa to visit my in-laws.
The richness of the colour and the fabric, which is pure linen, were the
reasons that attracted me to them in the first place and that is the same
reason that prevented me from throwing them away when I had stopped wearing
them.
As for the accessories, I had to dig dip into my old
jewellery box to find a bracelet that would match my outfit and I think that
the pendant suspended on a leather string is a true tribute to the era.
