Last week I did a post about putting away the yoga pants, at least on days that you and I both know we the only work out we're going to get is MAYBE putting away some laundry. Well, this week I'm going to dare you to try something other than jeans. I know, it seems like I'm black listing pants in general, but I promise I'm not! I just know that I always feel better on the inside when I feel like I look cute on the outside.
Vain? Probably. Do 99% of girls feel the same way? Absolutely.
We all have our favorite pair of jeans that we wear with pretty much everything. (My faves are from Zara and Rag & Bone.) And I'll be the first to say that good fitting jeans are hard to beat, but why not change it up once in a while? Try throwing on a pair of leather (or faux leather) pants with the exact same outfit you were going to wear with your jeans! Just remember not to get them too tight or else you'll end up looking like Sandy from Grease. Or Ross from Friends.

For this look I wanted my look to be a little edgier, so I wore my WildFox tshirt and leopard cardigan. The exact cardigan is from Pacific Sunwear forever ago, but you could totally get any leopard sweater and add studs to the shoulders. Whats cooler than telling everyone you made your top yourself?
For accessories I knew I wanted a statement necklace, so I'm wearing my Virginia necklace and Kira earrings so they don't compete with each other. I also threw on the Natalie bracelet because God knows I can't leave the house without something on my wrist! This is one of my favorite jewelry combinations because it's so versatile and I always get a million compliments! I have worn it to church with a sundress or, like I am in todays post, with a tshirt and it always adds that special touch to any outfit. And guess what? You can get all three pieces on sale as a set! But hurry up because it's only for 72 hours and when they're gone, they're gone for good! So, click HERE and send me pictures of how you wear your fabulous combination! I promise it will become one of your favorites too!

Hi Emily,
Absolutely adore the outfit and all of your blog posts for that matter :) Just wanted to let you know that your blog photos show up great on my laptop, but on my iphone5, they show up long and stretched out. This formatting issue could very well be my own problem, but I just thought you may want to know! Thanks for the lovely posts.

Hi Emily!
I absolutely adore your style. I have a similar body type to you and have been searching for a nice pair of leather pants for over a year. Would you be able to tell me who makes the exact pair you are wearing here?
Thanks so much! permalink
