Stretch Your Legs

A few weeks ago we looked at elastic ankle pants. Those pants are casual but breezy and are perfect for summer casual office wear. Today we're going to step it up a bit: keep the elastic waist but open up the ankle a bit.

Anthropologie, Tuxedo Stripe Crops, $78  $39!

Picture this with a simple white tshirt and then picture it with a white oxford and black heels. Versatile and comfy.

Saks Fifth Ave, Ellen Tracy Wide Leg Pants, $21

That's right, $21. A delicate tiny dot/floral print makes these crops perfect for work or play because the print isn't distracting.

JCPenny, Wide Leg Soft Pant, $29 $23

A teeny diamond print that is work ready in no time.

Macy's, Vince Camuto Wide Leg Printed Drawstring Pants, $99 $74!

Hi, if you need me, I will be in these pants for the rest of forever. Oh I love them.

Airy comfort that your waist will thank you for. This is a trend I can absolutely get on board with.

Monogram Me

You know when you went back to school and your mom put your name in everything? Your lunch box, the tags of your sweater, your backpack, you name it. If your name was in/on it was all yours; and I feel like that was where my love of personalized things started. This monogram says this is mine, so there. Perhaps its childish or perhaps its stylish, or maybe, just maybe its the best combination of both. Today we're checking out some monogram necklaces.

Charm & Chain, Moon and Lola Acrylic Hartford Block Necklace, $60

How lovely is this piece? I love the light blue canvas.

BaubleBar, Acrylic Block Monogram Necklace, $48

I am a sucker for tortoise because you can wear it with anything. This necklace goes with a dress, a tee shirt, or even a suit.

And now for the classic option. This designed is exclusive to Nordstrom and the romantic script is perfect in silver or gold.

The monogram necklace is the stylish way to say this is all yours. Personalized jewelry make a great gift for a bride, grad, or yourself.

Sharpening the Knives

A very professional and ladylike trend that style that I just love in skirts is the knife pleat. Sharp and sleek pleats that lengthen the length and have a ton of movement.

Nordstrom, Chelsea28 Colorblock Pleated Skirt, $78

An airy midi skirt that is so simple and yet so dramatic.

Asos, Pleated Midi Skirt, $67

This sunshiny skirt isn't just for the warmer months. Pair it with a darker floral blouse for fall and a girly sweater set when it gets cooler. 

Shop Ruche, Sweetheart Pleated Skirt by Sugarhill, $64

Adorable, party of one?

Nordstrom, Halogen Pleated Skirt, $78

Originally $120 this looks like stripes skirt is actually a pink lips print that I just adore.

Knife pleat skirts hug the waist and legs so you don't have to worry about bulk. Pick soft fabrics that have movement and prints and colors that pop.
