sweating it







I've been wanting to pair some sweat shorts with thigh highs for a long time now. I love the slim and laid back look it creates on the bottom especially when balanced with a heavier and more voluminous top. Looks like I finally have a use for my sweat pants! This scarf is one of my favourites. It's actually a cape but I like to use it as a humongous scarf instead. I can wrap it around 3 times until my head disappears into its folds. It's my monster scarf. RAWR.

Wearing 3 layers of F21 tanks, H&M blazer, sweat shorts, 2 layers of sheer tights, Zara thigh highs, gray jersey scarf, black knit scarf/cape, Chanel purse.

I haven't seen anyone look so good in sweats in a looong time. You look so cool with the poncho and you do all black looks like no other. Totally loving this. Also the overknee boots add a nice touch, love them. I wanted to get the same ones at Zara but they were all sold out in my size >.<

Maria said...

I am now going to Zara and getting those thigh highs! Didn't know they had them! I'm glad they do though because I don't have access to Topshop.

You make wearing sweat pants actually LOOK GOOD (and not like you're going to the gym)!

I really like your blog and recently flipped back through it. I came across your post about fashion related things that you can not tolerate - and I just posted a pic of myself in a purple velvet dress with a pink coach wristlet. Ha. It just made me laugh. (You might actually gag if you saw my outfit :)

Anyway I love your style, and this outfit has so much texture, it makes it so interesting.

So cute! Shini and you both have the same pair of thigh highs!

I was at park&cube first then went to your page next. Immediately I was like, 'eh, those are the same pair!'

Thigh highs are so hard to pull off and the two of you did well. Now with SNSD's new MV (pink thigh highs?! sweats*), those babies are gonna become everyday fashion.

Charlene said...

Iv wanted Sweat shorts for a while too was tempted to buy sweatpants and cut the legs off! Looks great on you by the way!

love how the shorts end just above the boots

adele said...

I love this, incredible outfit. The black folds of fabric look so good with thigh highs. Amazing.

cody said...

love the look. I also have a huge monster cape/scarf-thingy, teal, got it in Italy, so soft. I do the same thing, much better as massive scarf than a cape. :)

Fabulous idea! I bought a pair of gray sweatpants from Forever 21 & cut them like shorts like I saw on Garance Dore's blog...but I've been unsure how to wear them without looking 'sloppy'. Cannot wait to wear them now with my Topshop over the knee boots! Merci!
