On most days you will find me in a pair of skinny jeans, a top and some kind of heels. I probably own more pairs of skinny jeans and pants than anything else in my closet by a long shot. That being said, I’m never one to shy away from trying something new!

I haven’t worn wide leg pants in ages. I recently gave flares a shot and after that very positive change in my regular line up I figured it was time to give another silhouette a try. With a belted waist and a cut that sits slightly higher on the waist, these pants are a new addition that I’m loving.

For the top I wanted something slightly cropped, so I pulled out the lace top from a matching set that I have but also found a few similar ones as well. The end result was a look that’s definitely more feminine and can easily translate for dinner out with friends! Swapping in a white or cream top and nude heels is an easy way to lighten things up a bit for a more casual daytime outfit as well.

This week totally flew by! I found myself for the first time in a while feeling like Friday came much quicker than I had expected and even a little behind on some of the things I have going on. I’m really, REALLY excited about an announcement I have coming up on Monday – so much so that I’m going to change Monday’s post from the 5 Happy Things next week. Can you guess what it is?
