WEAR TO WORK: STRIPES AND CASHMERE

This Monday is brought to you by another pair of statement trousers 😉

Just like last week’s post, I’m really digging bold pants. The funny thing about this pair is that I wasn’t even looking for them (or any kind of pant for that matter), I just happened to stumble upon them in the petite section. The sales associate basically forced me to try them on (and I’m glad he did), and I walked away with them (and this, and this, and this…and maybe a few other things).

Normally, I would never gravitate towards anything wide-legged. Sometimes I feel like I’m just too damn short for them (I’m still petrified of flare denim, FYI). But this pair just worked, thankfully. I really love wearing them to work because to be honest I never really dress up for work. They also help elongate my legs (which is so needed when you’re 5’2 and stumpy like me) – a huge plus!

Seriously. My co-workers are always very confused when I’m dressed up — or they just assume I’m going to shoot the look during lunch 😉 Either way, these pants are here to stay, regardless of where I’m wearing them.
