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!

I’m fairly certain this is made out of whale bone, very sure that it was my Grandmothers, and 100% positive it has been in my jewelry box for a decade and I’ve never worn it. It’s never even been on a chain. But, I’m trying to really use what I have since we’re down to one income these days.
So, I used a 40% off coupon for Joannes, and got 100 inches of beautiful brassy colored necklace chain. I really only wear long necklaces with pendants these days, and 100″ will enable me to make 3 to 4 long necklaces for the $2 this set me back.
So grab your needle nose pliers and get to work, open up the little ring at the top and slip on the two ends of the chain. I just wrapped it around me, found a length I liked, and cut it with the pliers.
Then use the needle nose to gently close it back up.
It’s a little small to be a single long pendant, but I don’t mind. It’s cool to be wearing something of my Grandmas because word on the street is, that lady had a style like no other.
Why hello, green sweater vest. I took this gem home with me from Goodwill for around $1. At the time, all the buttons were attached, but that quickly changed. So, now it’s time to spruce it up… I never liked the green buttons on the green sweater anyway. Now to give it a new look, in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee.
Stitch rip the rest of the buttons out… if this left holes too big, then sew those closed.
Sew on fabulous tortoise shell buttons with a contrasting thread color like orange. Also, try only doing straight horizontal stitches instead of an X pattern into all four holes for a little more interesting look.
You’re done and it looks fabulous…reward yourself with another cup of coffee.
This 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
