Old Faithful

Sometimes its about staples. Not the bold print, the cutting hemline, its about the perfect base that fits beautifully, and never lets you down. Today that is the black ankle pant. Not a legging, not a jean, a fitted, structured, black ankle pant.

Bloomingdale's, Vince Camuto Straight Ankle Pants, $74

It's not shocking that Vince Camuto makes a stunning pair of black pants. This pair is simple perfection.

Nordstrom, T Tahari Marlena Ankle Pant, $78

Look at these great long lines. Clean and simple.

Old Navy, Pixie Mid-Rise Ankle Pant, $29

You don't have to spend a bundle to get a great pair of pants. I love Old Navy pixie pants.

Macy's, Michael Kors Skinny Ponte Knit Pant, $57

A little bit of ponte adds the perfect amount of stretch with structure.

While I love talking about dots, stripes, florals, and color blocking, sometimes you just need a great pair of black pants. These four won't do you wrong.

Staple Purchase: Trench

You guys,
I'm in the midst of a staple purchase.  What does that mean? It means I'm about to buy something that I will spend a little extra on because I will use it frequently and hopefully for years to come.  Much like the wallet post from yesterday.

Are you so excited to hear what I'm going to purchase? I know, I am too.  I am buying a Spring trench/rain coat/ bright color or patterned light jacket.  So many things this purchase needs to accomplish!  I've narrowed it down to a few choices.  Let me know what you think!

Canvas, Patterned merriweather coat, $89

This is the front-runner right now. I like color, pattern, detachable hood and belt.

Nordstrom, Gallery Hooded Trench, $98

As I said before I do not want a khaki trench- this green is perfect!

Express, Ruffled bottom belted trench, $89

How sassy is this? The ruffles are so cheery.

Kohl's, LC Lauren Conrad Trench, $84

I love everything about this coat.  The lines are simple and clean, great length and that bow on the back.  Come on.  Love.

So what do you think? Did I miss any? When I'm doing a staple purchase I tend to mull over my options for at least a week before taking the plunge- so please, I'm open to suggestions!
