WIDE LEG PANTS AND A SLOUCHY JUMPER

 Hello dear friends, hope you are well.

WIDE LEG PANTS AND A SLOUCHY JUMPER

Our freedom is gathering momentum, the restrictions are disappearing at an alarming speed and the places and spaces become more and more crowded.  I find myself in two minds lately.  On one hand it feels so good to be free, on the other – people are becoming complacent, it’s amazing to see how quickly we forgot how this nightmare has started.

They are talking about opening international borders for travelling by the end of this year but as much as my husband and I do love to travel, neither of us is keen to travel overseas now or even in 2022.   We might take a couple of long road trip within Australia instead.  We shall see. 

WIDE LEG PANTS AND A SLOUCHY JUMPER

We are two months into our antipodean spring, but the weather hasn’t settled yet, one day we are all at the beach sweltering under the hot Aussie sun, the next day you reach into your closet for a jumper to wear over a t-shirt, so the transitional outfits are still a look “do jour” like the one I am modelling for you today.   This jumper is made of cotton so it’s not as warm as my winter ones but still provides enough comfort against the light chill of the early morning or after sundown.

Thanks to its soft natural colour, I can wear it in so many ways.   It is slightly longer than my usual style but the rib on the bottom is quite tight, so it fits quite well around my hips, providing this casual slouchy look which goes so well with loose fitted casual linen trousers or palazzo pants.  I picked them up in the last days of the summer sale last year at H&M and haven’t had the chance to wear them yet.  They are very light and extremely comfortable thanks to the elasticised belt and have pockets which I love and are very versatile.  I am thinking of pairing them with a white oversized blouse or a simple t-shirt in.  It should work 😊.

Today is our first official outing.  We are off to have lunch with our friends whom we haven’t seen for over three months 👍👍👍.  The café that we are going to is described as up-market, so I engaged the help of my accessories to smarten up my outfit.  Since the colour of my top is grey, I decided to wear silver.

I am wearing my new earrings from Elsa Peretti for Tiffany that was a gift from my husband on our wedding anniversary.  They called High Tide earrings and are “Inspired by the ebb and flow of the sea, this design emphasizes the simple beauty of nature where graceful curve echoes rippling waves”.  Sounds so romantic, I totally adore them.  The bottle necklace is also by Elsa but it has been in my possession for quite some time now.

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you probably remember that I love scarves and wear them a lot and today was no exception.  They have this unidentifiable quality, a kind of “jeno se qua” that allows them to transform a simplest outfit into a fashion statement.

As for the shoes, the sneakers seem to be the best option possible.  And there you have it, my new casual transitional outfit with a touch of elegance.  What do you think?

  1. Gorgeous earrings! I love this casual look: I have been wearing a lot more variety in my pants this year and am enjoying elastic waists and wider leg lines.

  3. I love it, Anna! You look fabulous.
    I know what you mean about not wanting to travel for a while. We're actually planning on driving back to the UK from Portugal in December and I'm just hoping the cases aren't as bad then as they are now (in the UK, that is). Things aren't too bad here in Portugal. A road trip in Australia sounds like a great plan though!

  4. Those pants look great on you! I really like the relaxed look with the knit too.

    It's good things are open again for you too but I'm a bit worried about what will happen when our borders open here in Queensland. We have been Covid 0 for so long!

    Hope that your week is going well :)

  6. Love your casual transitional outfit! You do scarves so well. We are in autumn (fall) now but it's still fairly warm. And we ended restrictions a few weeks ago. Things are of course beginning to slide.....Great to see you in the link up.

  9. I am new to your blog, but I completely understand about the being of two minds. Here in the US, we are not as smart as other countries! It’s still quite daunting to be out and about…always with masks (not a problem for me at all). I adore this look…especially the pants! I love palazzo pants even though they may make me look even shorter than I am! You are stunning!

  11. We feel the same about traveling too. It's crazy to think that we used to travel no problem, and now there are just too many scary factors! But we still have a bucket list of places we want to see... Love this look on you too!
