A couple of weeks ago my mom came home after a bargain hunt for me with these polka dot pants in navy, red and white. Even though they remind me a little bit of a fourth of july-firework, they're quirky and pretty cool if you wear them right.
Yesterday was my first time wearing them and I actually liked them so much that I decided to wear them when going out at night as well as during the day, making them the perfect feature in a "Day-to-Night"-post.
These pants are, due to the print, quite attention-demanding which means that for the day, whatever you wear them with has to be subtle and not to colorful. No one wants to walk out the door looking like a stand-in at the circus... Normally not a big fan of black, I felt it worked well yesterday. All the pieces added were very low-key, allowing the pants to be the focus and the black Wayfarers and jean jacket also brought a bit of much-needed edge to the look since the pants have a sweet cut and print.
For going out, the matching options aren't as limited which I thought was fun! I dared to add another color in the mix, a light pink and gold clutch as well as my sparkly H&M-goes-Prada earrings. Heels instead of ballet flats and a blouse instead of a t-shirt took the outfit from day to night, complemented by a daring blue-and-black smokey eye, perfect for the protective darkness of night fall.

Everything except the shoes is from H&M, my eternal fashion-provider...
Laura Pausini sings "Between you and the sea" and hearing that song, the longing for the beautiful colors of Southern Europe is inevitable. Last night I went to an event with a mediterranean theme and wore a blue and white maxi dress that hit the nail on the head when it came to following the dressing directions. The necklace (that also comes with matching earrings) looked surprisingly good together with the dress! They're from a pretty unknown line for H&M recently, Water Collection for H&M. So cute and original, a real find!
