Oatmeal Linen

I was sorting through my closet a few weeks ago, and I rediscovered my long-lost loose, slouchy linen pants! Must confess I’ve only ever worn them as pajamas, but for some reason, seeing them again after a long time, they looked really new to me! And as it often happens, I got a brainwave.

I was inspired by the utilitarian no nonsense fabric, paired with the wide legs. Also, these days I’m really into emphasizing my waist! Anything that can be dragged up to the waist and belted? Good with me! So I did just that, hiked up the pants and cinched them at my waist with an old ribbon tie belt from another outfit.

I paired them with a loose cotton top, and some wood toned accessories. There was also a slightly safari feel to it, which I played up with the leopard print wide bangle.

Nothing fancy, but it just goes to show that almost any item of clothing can be made to look fresh again, with the right extras thrown in.

Ciao dolls!
