HAREM PANTS-POWER SHOULDERS

Ok ladies. So I've been really studying todays "TRENDS" lately. Ive been studying MAINLY because im trying to do a TOTAL TRANSFORMATION on my wardrobe, and ALSO to keep you all updated with "WHATS IN". Wellllllll...let me just say, im EXCITED about what I've discovered. A couple of things that are TOTALLY in right now are the, HAREM PANTS (or HAMMER inspired pants)and the POWER SHOULDER BLAZERS. Im going craaaaaaazy over these two because they're both, such CHIC pieces. I mean think about it, you're getting FLARE at the HIPS and SHOULDERS. Me, being a thick girl and ABSOLUTELY LOVING my CURVES, I do enjoy showcasing and accentuating them. And with the harem pants, I (us CONFIDENT thick girls) can do just that, in a TASTEFUL, CHIC, CLASSY way. So, yea im pretty excited about adding a few pair to my wardrobe.I found TONS of different styles and colors of the harem pants on eBAY. VERY reasonable prices, so thats a huge PLUS. Now, the POWER SHOULDER BLAZER. Ok, so my shoulders are pretty round and sometimes I do NEED/WANT that SHARP, TAILORED look. If you think about "HOLLYWOOD" ,I'm pretty sure you can recall a nice amount of CELEBS rocking this style blazer. LADY GAGA, RIHANNA, KIM KARDASHIAN, VICTORIA BECKHAM, GWENETH PALTROW, just to name a few. These ladies look very chic, and tailored. I havn't seen many in stores in the surrounding area so I have found TONS of this style blazer on eBAY as well (search:power shoulder blazer). Some are pretty EXPENSIVE, but some are pretty reasonable. The only downfall, to me, is that the ones I have found are in HONG KONG or somewhere OVERSEAS. -_- Which means its would take between 17-22 BUSINESS days to get here. So my advice is, if you need this blazer for an EVENT, you should DEFINITELY order it about a month early so that you have it in time. BELOW are some pictures of CELEBS and also RANDOM models rocking the harem pants and power shoulder blazers.
