Ok, I wasn't really pantsed, but I am wearing pants. :) You probably realized by now that I'm not really a pants kind of girl. I'm almost always in skirts and dresses and actually have an entire section of my closet dedicated to them. (It's my favorite section of the closet by far and could stare at it for hours, lol). But alas, variety is the spice of life so today I changed it up again and wore me some cargo skinnies!
I love pairing a tough, military-inspired look with something fun and girly. This floral shell did the trick and it's the perfect contrast against the moto jacket. Throw on a pair of heels, some feminine accessories, and call it an outfit!
I do have to admit though, wearing my "tough" outfit outside of a church for pictures did feel a little weird. Florals and leather may mix, but church and leather... not so much. :)

Girl where are you storing all of these clothes!! You post an outfit everyday! I am really loving those cargo pants and that moto jacket. I love you in pants! You look super chic today! Kiah
haha, i've had everything but the LOFT shell in my closet for forever! i
just put it together for the first time today. don't know why i didn't
think of it sooner. :)
You mixed two totally different styles together beautifully. I have never thought about pairing floral/feminie item with that type of pants (my creativity wouldn't take me anywhere other than a simple t-shirt). Gorgeous photos!! What camera do you use, Kileen?
I have the Canon Rebel XSi paired with the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens. Very basic
entry-level DSLR but works for now!
I think you look really awesome in pants, girl! You have great legs and should feel very blessed to be so petite and still look so lengthy! Gorgeous. And I was so glad to see you remix this shell!
I LOVE those cargo skinnies! Super cute! & love the combo of tough and femme, you pull it off well!
I know I said it before, but I'll say it again :) You look so FAB with bangs!!! <3
You look amazing as always. I love the floral, and leather. I'm still drooling over that Chanel bag. Thank you for posting the code for ulta I needed one for a hair product I am ordering!

Beautiful look - love the leather jacket with the feminine top! You look great...and I can't believe you are only 5, you look way taller (fellow shortie here!)

love the jacket! v cute and edgy :) xoxo jcd:: cornflake dreams
i have to say i think this is my absolute favorite outfit i've seen on you! i heart the idea of mixing edgier clothes with feminine pieces too (i've been on the hunt for a moto jacket for ages!! and i adore yours!)
i REALLY love your pumps.. they look like ballerina pumps with the tiny bow in the front i love that detail!
you should wear cargo skinnies EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIFE.. you seriously have the legs for it.. i can't for the life of me carry them off.. but they look stunning on you!!
You should wear pants more often!! Your legs look AMAZING!!

Love the pants! Those shoes are too cute. I'm so excited, I actually get to show some leg today!!!!
That jacket is amazing!!! Love it paired with the print top :)
Nice look, Kileen! I like how you mixed a feminine item (floral blouse) with a toughie one (leather jacket). Oh and your Chanel just completes the outfit. Your Mom did such a great job with those pants. I don’t know how can she hem the pants with zippers. Pretty amazing!
haha, i don't know about everyday of my life, but i'll try to wear them more
often. and thank you for thinking i have the legs for them! i'm always so
self-conscious about them. :)
my mom really does work her magic with altering my clothes! for the pants,
she actually detached the zipper and moved it up. for the jacket, she was
afraid of reattaching the zipper because the zipper ends right where some
sleeve design is, so just cut the zipper. so make sure that the zipper
didn't just keep on going though, she took pliers and removed the stopper at
the bottom of the original zipper and moved it to the end of the newly
shortened zipper. i asked for a quote from an actual tailor on how much
that would cost to do in the shop, and it was $40! my mom is a lifesaver.
:)
Love it! You look fab!

I love you in pants! And I love the floral with the moto jacket and cargo skinnies. Super cute
I can't believe those pants are from F21, they fit you perfectly!!
Lidi @ Eclectic Flair
yup, F21 ftw! i did have them altered though. they're supposed to be a
crop style but my legs are too short. i even had to get these babies hemmed
too! lol.
Love these pictures too!!! Pretty blouse! :)

I think mixing edgy pieces with a pop of girly is just the most fantastic thing! Aand you nailed it.

You're just my kind of girl. I don't even have a single pair of pants other than my exercise trackpants and I love it. But for a skirt-dress kind of girl, you're totally rocking these skinnies just so you know!

I say it is totally appropriate for church! The contrast of the feminine and vampyness of the leather is really nice.
I love the way you use moto jacket to harden the look of feminine floral prints. It's brilliant. Have to copy your look. I think I have everything I need. hehe. Thanks for the inspiration, Kileen. You look soooo pretty!
cute pants with 6 pockets :)
