Clothing Chronicles: Soft Pants

Can we take a minute to talk about soft pants? Where was this trend when I was in college, showing up to class in pajama pants? It wasn’t cute then. Apparently, it is now. Let me break it down for you; soft pants are PJ pants with back pockets that look like they belong on dress pants. Basically, soft pants are everything good. The ease and laziness of yoga pants, without the unflattering cling to the cellulite that’s determined to stay on the back of my thighs forever. Last night we went bowling with a bunch of people from Josh’s work (it was a blast, if you haven’t been to The Goodnight – you should go to there). Anyway, I got to try my new soft pants outfit which is now the cutest outfit I own (links to where you can get each piece are above). I felt put together, but as comfortable as if I was hanging out at the house. I wore flip flops for about an hour, before rocking bowling shoes for the rest of the night. Right before we walked out of the house, I threw on my old go-to fedora that has some how stood the test of time, my new red cardigan and the Tiffany’s necklace that Josh got me for Christmas, to finish off my look. Hope you liked it and that I have inspired some of you to go shopping!

Dressing Josh



So I have this (not very) deep, (not very) dark, (not very) secret. I occasionally try to recreate Men’s Fashion pins with Josh as my model. Most of the time he’s better looking than the models anyway… Here are some of the instances.

He’s seriously, SUCH a good sport. Does anyone else dress their husband like this? I can’t be the only one…

My go-to work outfit



MyGoToWorkOutfitThis is probably my number one go-to work outfit. I wear this combo more than any other. It’s simple and comfortable, but the dress holds its shape enough for me to feel professional. I’ve worn this dress from Old Navy about once a week for over a year. These are the shoes I wear most days to work. Through a series of uninteresting events, the dress code for shoes where I work has gotten bizarrely strict (shoes alone takes up 3 color pages with photos in the dress code manual). Anyway, these bad boys (from rack room shoes) fit within the strict guidelines for flats, and unless I’m getting fancy, they’re on my feet every day. My Owl pendant was a gift from my sister for Christmas, and word on the street is she got it on the cheap off amazon, and my prescription glasses will run you around $10 at zennioptical.com.

What’s your most worn ensemble?

work wear: a new dress



If you're a dress without pockets, you're not a dress for me.

If you’re a dress without pockets, you’re not a dress for me.

On average, at any given time, it’s pretty safe to say the total cost of anything I’m wearing is around $20. Between thrifting and sticking to stores like Ross and Marshalls, the very small amount of money I have available to spend on clothes goes much much further. Today is no exception. I bought the dress this week at Ross and I was so excited about it! I think it’s beautiful, and I meant to take pictures of it before I worked all day, so it wouldn’t be wrinkled, but I totally forgot. C’est la vie. It’s still pretty, though in need of an iron. Here is the dress, a bargain at $11.99 and it has pockets. If you’re a dress without pockets, you’re not a dress for me! The shoes were on clearance at Payless a few years ago and cost me around $6.
