Petal Pushers

Friday eve, almost there lovebugs. Let's embrace this warm weather with some floral inspired pieces. I don't know about you, but my legs are looking real pale still, so I'm not wearing skirts everyday. That's why I love the cropped pant for work. They're comfortable and versatile and in floral, they're perfect for summer.

Asos, Floral Print Cropped Wide Leg Pant, $34

A beautiful oversized graphic that is feminine and unique.

Shoptiques, I Heart Tyler Madison Floral Crop, $87

Something a little more fitted, would look great with a blazer.

Macy's, Rachel Roy Vicky Cropped Pant, $99

Elastic waistband and an effortlessly cool look.

Nordstrom, BP Print Crop High Waist Pants, $29

For a floral that is a little less girly. Great option.

A great pant is obviously essential for work, but a unique print like these offer a great way to stand out in your 9-5 wear.

Proper Pleats

Some people despise shopping for work, I love it. I think it's like playing dress up. Corporate barbie, casual cool, or fashion forward. I especially love trying something out of the box that shouldn't work but it does; like pattern mixing, culottes, or pleats! Today let's look at some super chic pleated pants that will turn heads for all of the right reasons at the office.

Macy's, Calvin Klein Pleated Trousers, $64

Command the room in these sleek pants. Picture it with a silk blouse.

Nordstrom, Topshop Peg Leg Trouser, $48

I'd mix these casual pants with heels and a neck scarf.

Brooks Brothers, Wool Drawstring Pants, $148 $44

Tell me where else you find a wool trouser for under fifty bucks. Gorgeous.

Banana Republic, Avery Fit Jacquard Pleated Pant, $98 $48

A great cropped pant that is fantastic for warmer weather and even through fall. 

A pleated pant has such an old-school professionalism vibe that you can't help but feel a little Mad Men in them.

Ponte Please?

Yesterday I mentioned the ponte pant. If you haven't discovered these beauties, they are a pant/legging mix that are more structured than a legging but stretchier than a jean or slack. Basically, perfectly professional and completely comfortable. Here are a few of my favorite options.

Nordstrom, KUT from the Kloth Diana Ponte Knit, $72

I love this brand. I wear their jeans and I'm thrilled they're now doing ponte. Look at this model's butt, it looks awesome.

Loft, Seamed Pont Pants, $49

Two words: elastic waist. Pair with a long sweater or button down.

Kohl's, Simply Vera Wang Skinny Ponte Pant, $27

MAJOR SALE ALERT!!! I love the heather gray option.

JCrew Factory, Gigi Pant with Pockets, $61

One of the things you sometimes give up with ponte is pockets. Not here. And in a simple navy hue.

I cannot recommend the ponte knit pant enough. It is a much more comfortable alternative to work pants and they go from desk to drinks easily.
