Perfect Pants for Perfect Weather

Let's look at a casual and comfortable pant that is great for spring. The green chino. It's effortless and machine washable which for me, is pretty much all you need in life.

A great wide waistband that is well structured and yet relaxed.

Gap, Girlfriend Twill Stripe Chino, $54

Loving this outfit. A slight roll and ankle strap heels!

A steal of a pant right now. Under $20? Fantastic.

A lighter green but not quite pastel. You can match it to anything.

Sure we are itching to wear our dresses, but these chinos are perfect for spring!

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.

Colorful Culottes

Let's talk culottes. They're back and I think we've figured out how to style them. We being us normal lady bosses who are just trying to look amazing on a daily basis. Culottes are tough but I think with the soft pant trend we embraced last summer, culottes are a little easier to wear. Today we're looking at some great printed options.

Nordstrom, Olivia Palermo + Chelsea28 Floral Print Silk Culottes, $98

I need these pants. Is gifting for St. Patrick's Day a thing? Can we make it a thing? Because this is what I want.

Shoptiques, Endless Rose Melrose Culotte, $69

Is it a skirt? Nope, just the most comfortable high waisted culottes ever. Finish the look with this matching top.

Nordstrom, ASTR Lola High Rise Floral Culotte, $84

 I usually try not to post two of the same retailer in one post, but when you've got it, you've got it. This print reminds me of an adult coloring book in the best spring way possible.

JCPenny, Worthington Wide Cropped Pant, $40 $9

Want to try the trend without the investment? I've got you covered. A neon floral oversized print for under ten bucks.

So how about it? Ready to try the trend? Sure you can grab a navy or black pair and test the waters, but why not dive in? The waters fine. Go with a print. You're going to look amazing.

Never Say Never to Navy

Back to basics today. Some things in the closet are utility pieces. Go to bottoms or tops that are a great canvas. Today we are looking at some of my favorite navy ankle pants. Simple, classic, and a great base for a killer outfit.

Banana Republic, Sloan Fit Slim Ankle Pant, $89 $49

Classic. A great silhouette and waistline.

A beautiful front seam pant that is going to lengthen your legs and give you a killer tush.

Sometimes you want to shop for statement pieces; other times it's staple piece shopping. If you are looking for a do it all pant that isn't denim, navy is your go to.

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.

Seriously amazing prints, colors, and options and all under $100.

Gorgeous colors and a feminine fit with pockets. Everyone wins!

That Sale in the Window

Ok lovebugs, today we're looking at a trend that's gotten a whole lot of attention lately. I say lately because we've looked at this pattern back in June. The windowpane print. It's similar to a plaid but monochrome in color. The pattern can vary in size which is great to match proportion to your body type.

Loft, Windowpane V Neck Cardigan, $59

100% cotton and 100% fantastic. I love the balance of the black and light blue.

Express, Windowpane Sheer Full Tights, $19

Starting simple? Try these sheer tights with a pencil skirt (of any color).

Old Navy, Pixie Pant in Windowpane, $17 (!!)

No, really, these pants at this price. Just go. Go now.

Lord and Taylor, Panacea Windowpane Cuff, $18

You thought this was just for clothing? Check out this great modern yet preppy windowpane cuff.

So there you have it. A lighter-feeling plaid print in the windowpane trend.
