Hello Darlings,
This is probably as casual as it gets for me! I know this is not my usual look or even style, but I do love it. There are those days when I just feel like dressing down and wearing some of the items that are not considered to be oh-so-chic. There are times when I combine the not-so-lovable items that are loved by me but disliked by the majority, to create some of my favorite looks. Among them is this one…
I am not the one to wear a typical pair of sweats, except for yoga! Therefore, I was in shock when I fell in love with this pair by Wang. How could it be, they look like sweats? I struggled with my crush on sweats-like pants and decided to go ahead and take the plunge by ordering them. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there pants were actually incredibly adorable, the material is very light and the detailing is stunning. They really are versatile and not very sweat-pantsy, but unique is definitely the word to describe. The quality of his items is superb. I went ga-ga over these pants and decided to order one of his dresses (instant love, I can’t wait to share it with you!) that I’ve been eyeing for a long time.
From a person who questioned T by Alexander Wang from the very beginning, you can read the post here, I can finally admit that I was wrong. His pieced are simple, basic and quite pricy for their kind…but are totally worth spending that extra dollar. Alexander is a very talented young man who really does understand the female body and his designs really do reflect it. The craftsmanship and the details are done to perfection. Although I questioned the choice in materials, I do think that the ones he selects are the perfect fit. I must admit I am addicted to Alexander Wang’s work for its simplicity and detail!
As for today’s outfit, this is a number I wore to Liv where I finally picked up the fabulous Tao headband and Secrets of Gorgeous: hundreds of ways to live well while living it up by Esther Blum. I just wanted to be comfortable and free. Loose-fitting items are my favorite as I hate to feel restricted, sucked in or in any way uncomfortable. So, the Wang pants were a natural choice, which I paired with my favorite Wilfred top and the most debated over shoes by Ash. I must admit, I adore these shoes…they are comfortable and cute. And to my surprise, I did receive compliments on them! The outfit was perfect, as it was easy and comfortable, and I still felt fabulous in it! And at the end of the day, how you feel in your skin is what counts. Breaking rules is fun, and lately I’ve been indulging in exactly that.
I am wearing: Wilfred Top ( from Aritzia); T by Alexander Wang Pants (from revolveclothing.com); Mike & Chris Leather Hoodie ( from Holts Last Call); Ash UFO Wedge Sneakers ( from Holt Last Call); Ray Ban Wayfarers ( gift from Andrew).
Also, darlings please bear with me in regards to the store. This is all very new and I was not aware of the fact that PayPal takes awhile to verify you. So the store is in the works and I am very excited to share it with you; however, the technical stuff is not my specially and is taking me a while to organize. My apologies, I hate continuously postponing everything. Please do excuse me 
Now, it’s your turn to tell what you think…I know that many of you were not in favor of these shoes (and that is completely fine!) but what do you think of the outfit Please do be honest (of course,without the rudeness)
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
Wishing Everyone a Beautiful Day!!!
With Love…
Marta
i love the outfit! it is super casual and comfy! This is something you could totally wear spending the day studying and still look cute but still be comfortable. I adore the Ash wedges! they’re so unique!

These sweats look so cute! The casual chic look is lovely.
Thank you Gina
I just bought these pants the other day!! They look gorgeous, I can’t wait to get them! You looks fabulous darling xxx
Darling, you could pull off anything! I am still not a fan of the shoes, but then again I am not the one wearing them
You are, and you look comfortable and great, and that’s what matters!
I adore this look, you are so elegant even though it’s quite a dressed down outfit
Hate is such a strong word. But I vote for “dislike”. I think it’s just because I’m used to seeing you in looks that look so calculated and chic and these items just don’t seem to want to go together. I DO love all the items separately though. You’re gorgeous.
Hi Hailey,
I will be honest and admit that I took a risk with the outfit knowing that it was not going to be a reader favorite 
I still love it for the time being 
Hate was a dramatic choice of words
I do appreciate the honesty! If you have any suggestions as to what you do think will look good with the pants or shoes, I would love to hear it.
Wishing you a lovely day
I think you look fabulous x
O dear.
I’m really not meaning to be rude, but I can’t seem to like this outfit, no matter what. In that post where you ‘debuted’ your sneakers, I was one of those that really liked it.. I’m such a fan of sneaker heels… but now that I see this particular pair on, I am starting to change my mind. It just doesn’t feel 100% right, to me. 
But that’s my personal opinion! I’m also not a fan of mixing black and brown together in an outfit as they just don’t seem to get along that well -again, my personal opinion! *blush* I know Christian Dior made mixing black and brown a vogue thing, but I just find it dulling. I can’t fall for those pants either. They don’t look quite like sweats, but maybe a hybrid between sweats and ‘long johns’… and I *do* think that Alexander Wang’s pieces are over-priced, considering the material. I don’t like synthetic materials at all… I like the breathable, airy feeling of natural fibers. And some of his pieces can be downright unflattering.
BUT!!
I do love the soft pink and grey of your outfit. Those two colours marry so well! 
And I really, really love your leather jacket. All your leather jackets!
I hate to sound like such a negative Nancy, but I’m really, really not being rude!
Bestest!
-cathy-
Cathy it is great to have you back
You’re such a darling, definitely not a negative Nancy. I knew that this was not going to be a reader favorite outfit, but I really do like it. It just works for me, at least for the time being
I think that I am enjoying the testing out and trying out new looks, trial and error is what makes things perfect 
I think 
As for brown and black, I hate it as well. These shoes are more of caramel color and look lighter than they appear on pictures.
I am also with you on natural fiber materials, but I must admit that I was surprised when I received his items, the materials feel fantastic.
I adore your honesty and just love how open you’re
Wishing you a lovely day!
Hay girl!
It’s my first time on your blog, I love this look and I love your blog too!
Can you please check mine too?
Maybe you can also follow me?
Love, Cindy
Uhmmm personally I quite love this side of your style. Those pants are lovely, and I LOVE THE SHOES! And I love Alexander Wang!
your simplicity is (still) a real succes ! Fine as usual, isn’it ?
Thank you Erick
While I am not a big fan of your shoes, I do like your sweatpants and think that this post is refreshing as it shows a different side of your style. I am looking foward to seeing how else you will incorporate the sweats into your every day looks.
Kisses,
Stephanie
P.S. I hope you are feeling better
Those pants look so comfy, chic!
Mmmh so Actually even if I am far to be a great fan of this kind of shoes, I have to say that the “Fetish peep toe effect” tend (just like your natural stylishness, beyond any outfit’s question) . . . to make All the Difference Dear Marta !!!
à Bientôt, Antoine
i actually really dig this look, the shoes however, not such a huge fan. they are definitely cuter on, but something about the laces throws me, maybe if they weren’t bright white… i don’t know. sneakers shouldn’t try to be pretty.
Those sweats are CUTE! Did you order from ssense?
And love the wedges! You look great
Nevermind- just realize that you ordered from revolve
These pants look so fabulously comfy, yet cute at the same time!
