Never one to shy away from a polka dot print, I saw these adorable pixie pants from Old Navy the other day and I knew I had to snag them. With a stretchy design, they offer a figure-flattering silhouette and the classic black and white color combo goes with just about anything! Cut at the ankle, these pants are the perfect length for pairing with peep-toe booties, wedges and flats. Today I went for a feminine look and teamed them with a flirty ruffled tank from Marshalls and strappy wedges from Ruche. A fun and perky ensemble, I couldn’t help but walk with a little extra bounce in my step. And that’s something I always welcome.

Comfy, stylish and perfectly professional-- trouser pants really have it all! They’re undeniably feminine and about as classic as the beloved Annie Hall. While it wasn’t exactly easy for me to make the transition from my go-to skinnies to the newer, silkier cuts that have made their way onto the scene, I feel like I’ve finally figured out how to make them my own.

These high-waisted maroon trousers are from Forever 21’s Contemporary line. They’re silky soft and pleated, which makes for a really flattering silhouette. I paired them with a flowy lilac top because I think the colors balance really nicely. What I love most about these pants, however, is the cropped ankles. It really shows off a great pair of shoes and helps to elongate your legs. With that in mind, I chose to wear these stunning new Coach sandals. They are a great ivory color so they pair well with just about everything.

I love this breezy, sophisticated look for spring. How do you guys like to style your favorite pair of trousers?

This lookout is located just a few blocks from my office. It’s a great little escape that we frequent from time to time. There are baseball fields, hiking trails, dog parks and running paths but mostly we go there for the views. It’s really breathtaking and this week, I needed a refreshing break. I love this shoot because Danny, my coworker, (and incredibly talented photographer) was able to capture exactly how we were feeling. Sometimes to stay grounded, all you need is a little bit of air.

LWD

Pristine, pretty and perhaps not quite as practical as the little black dress, the LWD is a sweet, summer favorite. In fact, I think it’s a staple piece that every woman should own. Once set aside only for blushing brides, white is now everybody’s favorite warm-weather hue.

No special occasion necessary for this casual-feel lace number from Ruche. With breezy open cutouts and a flattering fit-and-flare design, this may be my new day-date dress. It’s incredibly airy, soft and I love the mid-length skirt! I paired it with a delicately layered pendant and some new lace up sandals. It seems everywhere I look, I spot a new pair of lace-up flats I love, these are no exception.

Similar to the LBD, the styling possibilities here are endless. Play around with different cuts, textures and designs to find the LWD that best suits you.
