I'm back. Last week I took a little break, basically I just couldn't get everything done and the blog had to take a backseat. Honestly, it's getting easier to accept that and I don't stress about as much these days. Life is full of choices and priorities, so I make them and I have to live with them. Maybe it's the fact that I am getting older or maybe I am less motivated, either way, I am here and happy to be here this week!
I finally jumped on the olive jeans bandwagon this fall. I have always liked them but everything I add into my closet pretty much has to have multiple purposes and ways to be worn. When I discovered these Design Lab Lord and Taylor pants at the Bay, I quickly realized they can work as casual pants as well as work attire. These pants aren't "jeans" and I find they can be dressed up so that they appear more like a casual pair of dress pants. I literally went from office TO life as "mommy" in one day with these pants. I quickly swapped out the blazer for a cozy cardigan, my new H&B Vega statement necklace for my owl chain, and heels for riding boots. Done!
Below are three more ways that I would style these pants casually or for work.
#1 Chunky sweater ( cold shoulders ), olive pants, leopard print booties/flats, chunky statement necklace & a tote
#2 Olive pants, stripped shirt, denim jacket/navy blazer, black booties & bling, bling (stacked bracelets and statement necklace)
#3 Olive pants, chambray top, brown belt, brown riding boots & blanket scarf to keep you cozy
Share other ways you style your olive pants in the comments below. Have a great long weekend and remember to wear your poppy.
The Get Your Pretty On spring style challenge started a week and a half ago and today I am sharing two outfits from the first week. The outfit prompts are delivered the evening before, and are accompanied by a visual prompt as well as a written one. The outfits are mostly causal but I, along with many others, adapt the prompts to meet our own needs, mine being mostly business casual (depending on the day). If you are interested in joining it's not too late just click here.
#1 Prompt: Bomber Jacket + Solid Tee + White Jeans + Sandals
My work version included my trusted white skirt (styled here) , my Guess bomber (sold out but similar is linked), navy shirt and Nine West pumps, that I feel every girl should own.
#2 Prompt: Utility Jacket or Striped Blazer + Floral Top + Colored Denim + Sandals
The prompt featured blush pink denim which I currently have in my closet with the tags still intact, but when I put these light blue pants I was immediately in love with them. My husband also happened to walk into the bedroom at that exact moment and said, "oh, those are really nice." I was SOLD!!! I was happy to pull this little outfit together with everything from my exciting closet except for the new Design Lab pants which are on sale at the moment and they have them in various colors.
That's all for today. Follow along on Insagram to see the daily outfits.
Happy Easter everyone!
