Night outfits are ensembles rarely documented on this blog and with good reason in my mind. I see casual wear - what makes of my daily attire as more reflective of my 'style', even if said taste changes. For this particular outfit however, a cross-over is had as the much loved cropped flare comes in dressed up, orange form. Initially a purchase enabled by one of my much loved bloggers, Pages by Megan, the more formal incarnation of the cropped flare meant the first purchase made from boohoo in months, my first visit, even. Recently, the online retailer in its fast fashion way has for that reason become stale and unappealing to me, especially with my vow to abstain from purchasing with such reckless care. Yet still, the block heels and the orange trousers are two standout products that I indeed love and that is ultimately the point.
While the orange flares of dreams are certainly a garment I shall be wearing in the day, possibly with a particular vintage peasant blouse; for my 19th birthday night out I decided to match the bright bottoms with a favourite tie-up black going out-out top (sorry Alexa) of mine, incidentally also worn last year at one of my 18th birthday celebrations (with a separate skirt making the outfit different, no less). In this variation however, orange is clearly the standout tone and, black is ever as great a colour to accentuate this. A thick black choker has been a lust for a while now and Depop never failed in its offering of the missing piece which tied up this outfit and, with the low neckline of the flowing crop top leaving a very bare canvas, it is an empty space where a line of dark ribbon can do wonders. And, so can a pair of statement earrings. Mango has suddenly become my new point of call for all of my jewellery related needs, the featured pair - tassels and all, are sublime in their exact colour match with the orange cropped flare. If any outfit were to display the importance accessories can bear on the overall look of an outfit, this is the one. And with that, it may just make it my most favourite of the 'evening' (more like early morning, ha) ensembles that I have curated. If not for the accessories, it is the evening embodiment of my much adored crop flare cut which lends the outfit a more authentic, genuine feel that is typically myself - that and a much loved 70s vibe. Of late, orange has certainly become a much favoured colour and, these trousers may just become the garment manifestation of such adoration.

I agree with you on the block heels, I much prefer them to a pointy heel (probs because the pointy heel is so darn tricky to walk in especially on soft surfaces like grass!) :)
