I spotted this Fashionista through this snowy weather due to the fact that there are so many things about this outfit that I adore. Starting at the top, this Fashionista is rocking the knot bun.This trend is very European, making me love it more. In my opinion, the higher the bun the better and this hairstyle is an easy and stylish fix to a bad hair day. Moving down, this Fashionista is wearing an oversized cream sweater (which I want), green pants, and leopard flats. This sweater is the perfect go-to-class item being as it is oversized but still flattering, and comfortable but still stylish. Furthermore, these pants speak for themselves. I have constantly been on the search for a pair of colored pants. This color green is to die for, so I may take a note out of this Fashionista’s book and purchase a pair in a similar color. Lastly, from my previous posts everyone knows that I love some cheetah print in an outfit. Therefore, these flats are the perfect choice to add something special.

These pants have also made quite the splash on the runway. Fall 2011 collections have included pants in colors ranging from pink to green to blue to yellow. Specifically, Karen Walker’s fall 2011 collection featured a pair of drawstring blue pants. I would wear these pants in a heartbeat. They are a little higher waisted and loose, which is super flattering on any body type. Additionally, Phillip Lim’s fall 2011 collection presented three pairs of green pants all cropped above the ankle. Two were classically tailored and one was constructed of a silky looser material.  All three reconfirm my love for color in a pant. Just as Karen Walker and Phillip Lim demonstrated in their collections, color does not have to be constricted to above your waist. This week’s Fashionista takes this runway look to the streets and in my opinion pulls it off effortlessly.

Grab some colored pants and add a little flavor to your wardrobe!
