I mostly wear pants these days and I realized that I didn't have much variety in my closet. What I do have is many pairs of jeans and a couple of pairs of pants that really should be filed under "athletic wear pretending to be work-appropriate." So, I went on a tear and bought three new pairs of pants. Also, fine, one of the pairs I bought is jeans but they're really good. Shush.
To start, I bought these jeans from Madewell but didn't really love them on me so I returned them and on the way back to my car I fell into EverEve and bought this pair of cropped pants by Kut From the Kloth:
I don't have an outfit photo yet but I am here to say that these are good and comfortable and I highly recommend them. They aren't life-changing but they are easy and they look cute with both Birkenstocks and boots.
Then Marianne bought these Everlane jeans and y'all, I had to have them too because I am an enormous copy-cat, yes, but come on, these are great:
They are VERY high waisted on me but I love the weird hem and the wide-leg sailor flair. I just NEEDED THESE JEANS. I'm happy to say I love them though I did go up a size because they run a little bit small. This is what they look like on half of me:
So cute. They come right up to my boobs and sitting down is sort of challenging but I still love them. I'm kidding. Mostly. Since I was already ordering the jeans, I also ordered these tencel utility pants because they looked like a great spring/summer option and y'all, they are so good. They are definitely a more relaxed style than I usually wear but I love how the material feels - weighty and flowy at the same time. I wore them twice during my recent work trip to Hawaii:
Hey, look, an actual outfit! I mean, it's a crumbled end-of-the-day outfit, but still. These pants run true to size, just FYI. I'm wearing them with my two-tone Birks, a Madewell tee and my AYR button up.
So, three pairs of pants, one actual outfit photo. I'm doing great.
Great to see you again. Always love posts from you.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletehooray! you're back! love your blog. those everlane jeans are fantastic. they sort of look like a rachel comey legion dupe?
ReplyDeleteI'm still posting! Just infrequently. And yes, a good Rachel Comey dupe!
DeleteYay! Always so great to see a post from you. I also recently decided I needed a few more pants options, and so I ordered quite a few to try. And now I need to return quite a few, as my luck wasn't as good as yours. But now I am curious about those cropped ones at the top - so I will try again :)
ReplyDeletePants are hard! If you try the cropped pair, I hope they work for you.
DeleteSpringtime is tough, especially when it fluctuates from January to June weather, all in the same week. Those green wide leg crops are influencing me....as I wear my boxy Everlane cashmere striped sweater...possible outfit?? Thanks for the reccs -love tour style.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll post an outfit soon.
DeleteHa, that's my motto too - "Pants are hard." I felt this year that all of my pants looked really dated, so I ordered about five pairs of wide legs and barrel legs to try on. I'm keeping the Pilcro version, and debating between four pairs of black pants. I love those Tencel pants you bought. I think they might be a little short in the leg for me, but I'll keep my eye on them, thanks!
