I have recently developed a love for harem pants. I have two pairs now (stay tuned for a future outfit post featuring my other pair) and they are both fabulous. I got mine from Forever21's Plus line. I find that so many people don't know that Forever21 carries plus sizes because you can only get them online. I have a hard time resisting their adorable and affordable clothes! Harem pants have been a major trend lately and I know some people are afraid to wear them or don't know how to style them. I wear mine on cozy casual days with a simple tank and some flats, but for work or going out, they need to be dressed up to avoid looking sloppy.

 

This time I have paired my harem pants with a simple black blazer and black pumps and I added a pop with the bright orange-red tank with the detailed neckline and a statement necklace. Bold necklaces are great because they bring your attention upwards. For me, because I have a 'pear' shape and am much larger on the bottom than the top, adding a lot of detail up top helps balance me out quite well. Wearing my pants around the smaller part of my waist defines it and creates a nice hourglass shape!
