I bought these pants yesterday on sale. Have you noticed sales are exceptionally good this year? Online stores are tossing promo codes and free shipping around like it's candy. If only that "generous" Christmas spirit extended to infinity and you could always get 20% off anything!
These pants got me because of the color (it's called salmon pink and it's my new favorite). Such bright shades are usually reserved for tops, but I thought why the heck not. I'm really proud I bought a pair of pants that isn't black. Maybe there's still hope for me ...
P.S. I'm not in Milan, but I will be soon.
The colour is great, love the coral red and some shades of pink this year :) especially for summer days
have fun in Milan (oh, I miss Italy)
Yes yes yes, coral red and orange!
Also, this shade of pink: http://www.asos.com/French-Connection/French-Connection-Cowl-Neck-Dress/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1495883&cid=2623&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Pink
I was looking for new pumps for spring and I was surprised when I saw the amount of pink color palette. I already have Prada pumps in pink (something between salmon pink and soft pink), so I was rely happy about it.
Love the pants :), they suit you (assuming it is you on the pic :). And like the suede pumps as well.
P.S. I'm a fan of net-a-porter, and mytheresa and this years sail is a bit disappointing for me. The peaces I wanted aren't even on sail :(. Don't understand why.
It's not me in the pic, I'm still waiting for the pants to arrive - the wait is killing me, although realistically I won't wear them until spring. Ahh! :)
Maybe these stores will get more of the pieces you want later (after winter sales)? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
By the way, believe it or not, mytheresa is new to me. I seriously need to catch up on online shopping venues.
No, no, they already have them, but not on sale, but they are clothes for f/w 10. I don't now, maybe it's because they don't have problems selling them :). Thank you anyways :)
When I discovered how easy and safe online shopping is, I was hooked :). I hardly ever go shopping for clothes now. I always hated actual shopping, I like browsing, but don't like putting clothes on and off. In winter there's too many peaces to put off and in the summer it's too hot and sticky :). So when I discovered online shopping ... :). Love it.
And yes, I understand, the waiting is terrible.
Ah, I understand. Still going to keep fingers crossed that your favorite pieces will pop up somewhere in the future ;)
I'm the same when it comes to trying on clothes in stores. I used to really dislike shopping because of it, but nowadays I don't shop all that often anyway. I much prefer online shopping, too. The fact that my feet are two different sizes makes e-shopping for shoes impossible though. Maybe that's better for my wallet ... :)
If you don't mind me asking, how do you buy your shoes then?
I noticed some petty amazing pars on you previous blog Eva Internazionale :).
you have to be brave for this color of pants ;) marvellous!
Merci! :) I'm so excited to wear them.

I buy shoes in the size of my larger foot, but I don't always feel comfortable in them. Besides the two different shoe sizes there's also the fact that my skin is super sensitive and in my life there have maybe been two or three pairs of shoes in total that didn't give me blisters (of course, in my case blisters don't disappear after a couple days but after several weeks). As silly as it sounds, I must admit it's that whole "suffering for fashion" story, you know. :)
Some shoes get more comfortable with time though. You might remember the beige-pink-black Prada sandals - they used to literally kill my feet, but now (after 2 years) they're my most comfortable pair of sandals, even with the 13 cm heel.
Sometimes I get shoes custom made as well.
I remember them :).
I asked because I have a similar problem :), I broke my right ankle and from then on my right foot gets a bit swollen when I walk. Before the accident my shoe size was 39 and now I buy a size bigger par so I don't have problems with it. And don't get me started with blisters :). I understand completely. My boyfriend couldn't believe his eyes when he first saw my blister. So ''suffering for fashion'' is in my dictionary as well :).
I'm glad you understand. If people ask and I tell them the story, they usually end up thinking I'm completely bonkers. :D
Those are great; so deliciously 80s.
ahh, salmon pink <3 My first fond memory of that colour on clothing was the Dries Van Noten a/w 2009 collection I fell in love with a couple of years ago. Up to this point I don't know if I fell in love with the colour because of the clothes (and the runway styling) or was it the salmon pink colour that made me love certain pieces. Either way, these are truly awesome pants ;)
Now that you mentioned it, I looked up that collection and the colors are *so great* overall (not to mention everything else). Total underwhelming luxury. Too bad it's DVN shoes that usually get the most attention.
i think you're right...the sales seemed great this year---which was HORRIBLE for my wallet:(
love the salmon!!
I managed to muster up the discipline when I was in Zara and walked out with a pair of shoes instead of a t-shirt, leggings and shoes. It was quite an achievement!
Eva - I'm a little jealous, I haven't gotten out at all this week to check out the sales, but everyone is blogging about the great things they managed to find. These salmon pants are going to be a great wardrobe addition, especially in the Spring months. So cute. - Katy
Thanks Katy! :) If you didn't manage to check out the sales, at least you have more original things to blog about now ;) And of course, there are still online sales which don't require you to go out and take much less time. Needless to say it's what I prefer!
Love these! And everyone else is going to be drooling over them in spring, especially.
The sales have been really good...I agree!
