for you genies in a bottle...

So today's mystery is the harem pant. While this look has cropped up on the red carpet on model/actress/socialite types, I didn't expect this look to really go anywhere until I got today's WWWD (whowhatweardaily, a fashion/trend website and daily email blast, that's so good sign up if you aren't already!!). So in today's WWWD, it explained how to get the "Hammertime" look. Click to see it here: http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/home.php
Here is a classic example of a trend that will literally only look good on 1% of the population as the harem pant is all at once cropped, slim-fit and voluminous and sometimes pleated. While you can find a model who can look incredibly glam in this kind of pant - is this really something we want to see the next time we go out to a fancy dinner or out to a swanky bar? What if in six months' time we're all talking about how awesome our harems are? What do y'all think? Can harems translate to real life?
I'm worried that by March I'll own a pair. (sidenote, how funny that every trend I've discussed here so far is a comeback? Are we ever going to have a radical, original idea?)
here are some articles discussing harem pants:
