never in a million years did I ever think possible to appreciate an outfit based on the drop-rise trouser. She pulls it off so fabulously!! Thanks for the pic!
I really like the colors and the patterns – can’t get used to these pants, though.
I’m afraid that by the time I begin to like them, they’ll be out of fashion. On this woman – who is very attractive, has lots of confidence and reminds me of Lauren Hutton – they don’t look that bad, but they still make her legs look short.
I love the sandals – in my opinion they are a surprisingly good match with the heavier, cold-weather clothes.
great look – love those pants and the fact that it’s mainly a winter feel to the ensemble until you get to the feet! she looks happy, too, which always is the best for an outfit.
I know it’s supposed to be perfect for Interim ’09, the multiple prints, the great shoes, cropped pants but the scarf is throwing me off. Not because of the animal prints but because of the hair color.
I really disliked the rise of the drop-rise trouser, but now I see a pair that I would actually rock. Very nice. As usual, thank you for the inspiration.
She totally rocks! this is the way to wear plaid – get rid of all those tired looking shirts. the sandals work well with the pants – but in january? you’ve got to respect her commitment to style…
too much, I don’t know where to look first! But this is the polar opposite to my style, so it makes no sense to me. The only thing saving her in my eyes is the smile. She’s happy, she thinks she looks good, and that’s all that matters.
this pic rocks my world- i love everything about her look, and it all rests on the combination of prints, baggy fit, sexy shoes, and most importantly that smile… the pants/shirt combo have to be isabel marant- does anybody know??
my manolos…yay. They’re gorgeous, easy to walk in brown with blue edges and a roman type cameo coin-y thing on the side… feeling so chuffed… in abuja nigeria!
I’m not loving the drop in the pants either, but the cut goes nicely with the shoes. If there’s one thing I definitely don’t like here it’s the scarf- there’s just something about it that bugs me- probably the bold print in contrast to the plaid.
i am loving the drop crotch… ugly name but great pant. i had a few pairs for a few years but i kept feeling too wierd wearing them.. funny thing tho, mine are plaid as well… they look really similar… guess who made them? two years ago…… lamb(gwen stephani) hmmm, she felt that trend comming two years ago? thats impressive
The pants are definitely Zara, I have them. You HAVE to wear them with heels especially if you have short legs…but it’s great for casual chic combinations in shades of grey
The drop crotch/harem pant was big in parts of Scandinavia for the past few years; I would imagine else where in Europe. I was hoping they wouldn’t catch on in the States, but it seems like they’re starting to show up…
Is the Vuittn scarf overused now? It has become like the IT bags – just bought as the status symbol? Its bad as now whenever I see a leopard print scarf in brown or grey, I always look for the steven sprouse on the end. I wouldnt say no to the grey one though!
everything about this outfit screams perfect to me. the proportions, patterns, color, fit, EVERYTHING works. the shoes and the pants are especially stunning together.

So the new look in Paris is to dress as though your trunk consumes around 75% of body length?
