casual in khaki


acne shirt, h&m pants, and heels

After seeing my picture in this post via Refinery 29, I decided to attempt another comfortably simple outfit centering around this pair of khaki pants from H&M. I wore this exact outfit once with low top chucks and upon running into an ex-friend, he asked "what's up, soccer mom?" Umm, thanks. Despite some initial hesitation, I put the outfit together again but this time replaced the chucks with t-strap heels and left one side untucked. Success? I'd like to think so.

The best part about this outfit is how comfortable and breezy the pants and shirt are. I'm not sure if these exact pants are still available at H&M but they definitely have some sort of variation at their stores right now. Go buy a pair now! In my opinion, they work best when cuffed and paired with heels to avoid looking frumpy.

(Chipped nails and unbrushed hair are a-ok with me! Well no, I need to curb my habits. Reminder to self: practice proper grooming.)

I'm really into comfy pants like those. Recently bought a pair from H&M as well.

That outfit's adorable and I think it'd look fine with chucks. I hate when people make those 'witty' little comments, it's only because they know you look better than they do.

i really love all the neutrals in your outfit.
There's something very summer-esque about it.

so i went to h&m because i saw the heels in lucky & they had the same heels on their mannequins, but refused to sell them. i'm so bitter that your h&m has them!!

hanako said...

i used to hate khakis because i had to wear them for work. all i found were frumpy, grandpa-like pairs! :( but you totally rock yours and i wished i could find some like that!

Delmy said...

I love your look and I want your bangs!

Jayrin Eve said...

lolol, i love the way you write. so entertaining.

i really like this simple yet fresh outfit. i also have a pair of H&M trousers like that only i got mine on sale and i think i bought them a size too small (they fit JUST RIGHT) but i'd rather a size a bit big than just right. yeah, kind of weird, i guess, but i dunno, i feel like with my pants, they don't get a lot of wear because of that. sucks.

Unknown said...

am sure you still look adorable as a soccer mom ;) you look great; love the hair.

chicfaced said...

adorable, love those pants and those shoes. isn't it so funny that pleated tapered khakis can feel so fresh right now? the whole things looks great.

ps, just linked you!
