Finally! I've been ranting about harem pants since April, and again in May. There are always trends that, judging by the spin, you'd expect to see on EVERYONE in the coming season (and never do) and this year I just KNEW it would be harem pants. I've been scouring the streets for a good example, so when I finally saw Rania on Marylebone High Street, I was so excited I ran up to her but forgot I had just stuffed a Paul's pastry in my mouth. So she basically had a total stranger come up to her, grab her arm, grunting and chewing and gesticulating to her legs.
She patiently waited for me to swallow & explain my situation. She was with her friend and genuinely couldn't understand why I'd want to shoot her that day, as she hadn't really dressed up, but was a good sport about it. She laughed and said I was going to post it saying 'what not to wear' but I promise: I'm over the rant. That's all it takes for me: one good look. (Actually, a 2nd: on gorgeous Jane, of seaofshoes, in Tokyo on 21st June). It doesn't mean I'm gonna run out and buy them, but I'm over it now. This was shot only a week or so ago, by the way, on a cool rainy Sunday, to give you an idea what wacky weather we're having here in London.

These harem pants are much nicer than the ones we had around years ago.

Thanks guys! It gives me such joy to know I can make people smile.
My parents used to say 'we're not laughing at you, we're laughing WITH you', which was rich, considering I wasn't laughing at the time.

Love harem pants, scarf and sandals :-D
Anything to get the shot, right?? I know I'm a little behind here, but thanks for making me smile, too! And I absolutely love her "not dressed up" look. We should all look so effortlessly put together and fashion-forward!
She looks great in this. I've come to realize that I like pajama-like harem pants, not the awful drop-crotch type. These look proportional and lovely.
Next challenge: seeing YOU in them... :)
My blog-friend Nicky (lips of london) said her mom calls those drop-crotch versions 'nappy pants'.
Reema, sorry rania you look gorgeous in that harem pant and the scraf
love you
