EF Harems go to a Wedding

Hi Ladies:)

Went to a wedding yesterday and, if you can believe it, I didn't wear all black lol.

I did stay in my comfort zone of long drapey silhouette but stepped out of my comfort zone by choosing colour and a floral.

I have to be honest and say it took a bit of adjusting too, but I really liked it. I felt the colours were right for me and I liked the combination of the top with my EF Harem Pants.

Accessorised with black 3D printed earring and a ring and trusty leather wrist wrap.

Anyway what do you think? Did I stray too far, or do you think this works?

Thanks so much for having a look.

I think the outfit is lovely--definitely you--and the abstract print complements the rest of your style. Thank you for sharing photos!

Thanks so much Emily and JAileen. I am so attached to wearing black but sometimes I really do enjoy a little colour. I have some other ideas for styling this piece, hopefully they work as well irl as they do in my head lol

Perfection! The colors in the print are so good on you, the drape of the top is WOW, and the accessories couldn't be better. I so love your WIWs - they are always amazing.

You wear those harems like they were made for you. I always love seeing them, but the pairing with the lovely, drapey watercolor blouse is probably my favorite.

Beautiful! I love seeing the EF Harems in action and how they can be matched for just about any occasion. The pop of color and pattern on you is a nice surprise - I think the sheerness of the top keeps it from overwhelming the outfit.

So gorgeous and totally appropriate for a wedding. The pattern is an abstract floral, so it works with such a modern silhouette. I had to laugh at how it took time for you to get used to it, because to me this looks like a classic Deborah outfit, with the drape, harems and stunning pared back accessories.

Absolutely works! The fact that it's oversized and asymmetric makes it very you. And the colours and pattern are a fab change up.

You always work, Deborah. High drama, right proportions, and plenty of black!

I really love this!! After admitting that seeing you in color is a bit of a surprise, I still adore this whole ensemble.

Now I must step on my soap box.

Weddings.

I don't know about weddings in your country, but this outfit seems perfect to me. You are authentic to yourself and respectful of the wedding party. You wore pants!

In contrast, in my country, I am told I must wear a dress (and a fancy dress at that). This rule is not written down but I absolutely assure you it is a rule. I wear a fancy dress. I am not authentic. I am not comfortable and I can't wait to leave the wedding party.

Just this year, I resolved to wear pants to a wedding. The police were not called. The sky did not fall down.

Sorry if I hijacked your thread. It is the word "wedding" that seems to set me off.

Fabulous and I'm sure very comfortable.

Sterling...where I live there is apparently zero dress codes for weddings or funerals...anything goes, from jeans to fancy dresses or suits...all in the same occasion. It is very disconcerting and I try to dress nicely for both.

As always Deborah you look elegant, edgy and avant guarde. Harem pants are so perfect for your style. The top is lovely with the pants. Great accessories as well.

The top looks smashing on you! Love the 3D printed earrings too.

Oh, plonk.
I had no idea how these would be styled, but this is perfect. The colorful and gauzy floral hits the festive wedding mark. I love everything about the outfit. You absolutely must wear more color from time to time!

Love Sterling’s rant! I also have a new goal of building a “ wedding pants” capsule if possible. For me it’s more necessary for summer, seems odd, but due to things like my actual preference for host, no open toes, so summer legs and shoe comfort are harder. If I could find pieces that work for some “regular “ occasions like church and dinner out it could be worthwhile.

What a dramatic, interesting, and totally appropriate wedding outfit. Those harems are endlessly versatile, it seems. YLF!

I agree with Angie. This is a beautiful choice for a wedding - pretty, celebratory, interesting, and lively. All black would not have been as special. You nailed it here!

Gorgeous. I stand by my views that these pants function more as a skirt. They are quite versatile. I shall be wearing mine camping in a week in Wadi Rum, Jordan.

Long time lurker here -- too shy to post much. But I have to say that I love your style in general Deborah, and this is a lovely new take for a special event. The outfit is polished and dynamic, just like you!
