TRENDY HIPPY 2

I plucked this photo of rai pants from Google and hope I didn't get this from a blog!

If so, let me know, and I will link it :)

This pattern could inspire turning an old pair of wide legs into rai pants.

I have been obsessed with creating looks from trends and trying to make them my own. I am a hippy,boho chick at heart, but am always willing to try out a new trend. Harem pants aren't most ladies favorites, but when I saw them mixed with Vintage stylings, I decided they might just be worth a shot. My first ones I made out of an old tiered cotton boho skirt. I really liked how they turned out. Then during my closet cleaning feasco, I ran across this skirt / pant / swimsuit cover-up. I wasn't sure how it worked and thought it was a skirt. Upon further inspection, I realized it was supposed to be tied at the legs! It was pants. Duh! So, I paired them with a fitted jacket and pearls, for the vintage vibe. The material has bows and flowers on it anyway! Plus, if I had on a bikini top underneath, I could pop onto the beach! Ahhh... Dreamin' again !

I found these shiny gladiators at the W-place for 2 bucks, and tied the pearls with a ribbon to make a choker.

The flower in my hair from the dollar store for 2 bucks, and can be worn as a brooch as well.

I had to pin the pants in the back as I've mysteriously lost weight.

I will add a seam to make them more fitted (maybe!)

I want to pair them with a whiter jacket or pink blouse when I find one!

Maybe a simple fitted T in white / pink or blue ?

My Favorite pair ( i forget by whom), and my first ones made from a skirt.

A couple of the Vintage Garden collection at F21 / 12 by 12. The really cool images are already gone :(

I ordered the pants on the right, but were way too big and had to sadly return them. The clerks were fighting over who was gonna buy them when I returned them. The photos had sweaters with flowers and beads.

All Vintagy! I wish I could find REAL vintage floral pants. I used to hate patterned pants, but am liking them as of late. They give the illusion of a butt and hips ;)

What do you think of patterned pants?
