A New Leaf in Workwear

cropped pants

I’ve always been more a skirt person than a pants person. Even on casual Fridays, I often wear a jean skirt instead of jeans. Pants just feel constricting to me – anyone else agree? The one pant that’s an exception are sweatpants. My fiancé can’t believe that it’s as if I’ve barely walked in the door after work and I’m suddenly out of my work clothes and into sweatpants. (He calls me the Tasmanian devil for this reason, and a few more.) But I’ve surprised myself this fall by finding pants that help making getting dressed for work fun, and comfortable! I love the pattern on these Banana Republic cropped pants and the stretch to the fabric doesn’t make them unbearable after an 8-hour work day. With them, I turned over a new leaf in my workwear style.

And these aren’t even the only cropped pants I’ve bought this fall! I can hardly believe it myself, but when I found more on sale at Express I quickly snatched them up. Truthfully I wanted all of the colors, but held back knowing now I probably have more than enough skirts and pants in my closet. I like the slight flare on the end of the Express pair, and would love to layer them with a vest like Kristyn did.

Fishtail Braidcropped pants

I just had to capture this fishtail braid for you close up. How gorgeous is it?! I got it done at Goldplaited on a free braid Friday (free braids with a $20 retail purchase), and was in love! I don’t watch Game of Thrones, but I’m still considering a GOT Halloween costume if only to do more braids!
