Enter my mother-in-law this weekend - she'd bought these for her mother but they didn't fit. I tried them on and VOILA! Perfection. Yay for new pants! Without even entering a store!
I originally paired the pants with a magenta tee that had some floral embellishments, but the tee is now a little too big and looked kind of ridiculous. Then I tried my leopard metallic tank and it was nice, but something was still off. It looked too "party on a Saturday night" instead of office-appropriate. I ditched my silver stilettos, added the jacket...and it works. I also tried belting it but with the blousy-ness of the tank, that didn't work out too well.
We had yesterday off from work in observance of Independence Day; I didn't even shower, hence the reason for no post. It was great to have such a long weekend!
What did you all do to celebrate the Fourth of July? Did you get a long weekend or did you have to work on Monday?
Today's Outfit:Black Ankle Pants: The Limited (via my MIL)

I love wide leg pants too! Nice to change it up. Looks great! I had Monday off and today - back to work tomorrow though! We had friends over for the 4th - it was fun!
ReplyDeleteThat tank is killer and I LOVE it!!! You look fab!
ReplyDeleteYou look chic yet professional today. And ACK for Plato's Closet - I've heard so many good things about that store!
ReplyDeleteI think the pants are a great look for you! Love that you're a working mommy who is staying fashionable!
ReplyDeleteps: thanks for the comment on my blog - I will definitely be following yours!
Peggy - I'm so jealous that you had Tuesday off too! :) Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteTricia - thanks! This is my go-to tank when we hit theme parks because it's so breezy and I can eat all day without worrying how bloated I look. ;)
Lisa - Plato's Closet is AWESOME. When you're buying. They're not so great to sell to. When I tried, they took two items and told me the rest were a little "too mature." I think they were saying I'm OLD! :)
Kristin - thanks, I'm trying! I love your blog!
Great pants! I love a skinny trouser. They're perfect for the blousey like top you have on. The jacket just adds to the structure. I love the neckline of the top
ReplyDeleteThis is a great look for you, you can definitely rock this style of pants!
