Guys, these pants are the most comfortable thing ever. However, I haven't been brave enough to wear them OUT out yet. I have worn them to like, the Subway near my house, but not out in "public." I think I would wear them with heels to go out to dinner or drinks or something but I'm having a hard time thinking of what to wear them with in terms of flats. The crop tops... well, they might be returned. It turns out I don't have as many high-waisted things to wear them with as I thought I did. I will update if I return them, lol.
TOTAL: (according to Mint.com) $191 out of $200 (including tax)
I stayed in my budget this month! Good for me. And I got a lot of pieces I'm happy with, too. I'm especially happy with the black skinny pants - it's nice to not wear jeans all the time. The pearl necklace is pretty and looks more expensive than $15. I also love the two Ann Taylor necklaces I got - have been wearing them often to work. And the striped peplum top has been worn at least 8 times already.
Did you stick to your budget this month? Did you get anything really great?!
My favourite is the faux leather Dress, what a beautiful sophisticated Piece especially now for the upcoming season :-)

Those pants are awesome! I totally want some socially acceptable sweats, but also have no idea how I'd wear them.

I so want to try out the f21 pants. I'm looking for a jean alternative that's not dress pants for school when I have to wear business attire.
ReplyDeleteThey are a great jean alternative but FYI they are leggings! Just thicker leggings. I wouldn't wear them as dress pants/business attire but that's just me!
