Full circle


I almost forgot I had these pants - they are an old token from Kuala Lumpur back when my girlfriends and I would raid the Mango store next to our college during the sales, often buying way more than we needed but pulled in my the heady euphoria of scoring that amazing sale find, the absolute last one in our size… times ten. More then a decade later I’m experiencing the same heady euphoria when I realise with some amazement that I can still fit in them. Not a moment too late, apparently it’s all about the wide legs and flares right now - proof of how if you hang on to something long enough it will eventually come back in fashion. For me, this is a lot of how I used to dress back then, given a cold weather update with closed-toe platforms instead of the precarious heels I used to live in and a midriff-baring but still warm crop knit.

    Those pants look amazing on you! And yo’re so right, fashion definitely comes and goes in circles :)

    I just wish I fit into all my flared jeans from back in my school days!

    I will catch up to your abs! Or at least deflate my stomach in time for our summer.

    Love the proportions of this outfit. So awesome that you managed to hold on to these trousers for so long. They still look great on you and would’ve guessed they were brand new! xx

    I keep all my old clothes and shoes, in case they come back in fashion one day. I can’t throw anything away, but there’s the problem of space at some point.
    Love your pants, top and shoes! You look gorgeous!

    This look is absolutely gorgeous! I’m obsessed with anything high waisted, black, or wide legged. I’ve been looking for a pair of pants like this for a while but haven’t been able to find any that are not insanely expensive…

    Just rediscovered your blog and I’m in love!
