It’s the link up time for Week 2 of the 31 Days~31Ways at Greater than Rubies. This week I thought I would focus on my favorite pair of grey pants and my favorite shoes {leopard wedges} as a basis for seven different outfits.
When I went back to work earlier this year in a business casual environment, I discovered I had a real clothing issue. Most of my dressy clothes were either a little dated or ill-fitting. My grey dress pants were absolutely too big and the expense of alterations were not justifiable. I actually found this pair of pants on a super clearance for about eight bucks. One of the best purchases I have made…ever! They actually fit and that’s a huge statement for me. Fit has always been a problem in a couple of ways (1) I don’t normally like clothes touching too close to my body (2) I truly have a hard time finding age appropriate clothes that fit. So these were a jewel of a find. Whenever I wear them, I feel put together and confident. For a long time, I haven’t always felt like that about items of clothing. So, grey pants = win/win!
Here’s what I came up with the pieces I chose for the remix.
What about you? Do you have a favorite pair of pants? Do they make you just feel fabulous?
Thanks for stopping for by lovelies!

Love it! I can definitely see your style evolving over the course of the year. LOVE the polka dots and red sweater!

Sarah, that is probably the best compliment! I feel like my style is coming together too and I much more comfortable in it then I was at the beginning of 2014. Thank you so much for saying that to me!!

Man, you are killing it in those polka dots! All these are so great – it’s so cool to see so much variety using the same pants and shoes! Very inspiring.

I love all these looks, I wish I had more cute cardigans like yours. The pants look super cute on you too. My favorite pair if pants are my DKNY skinny jeans. I have had them for about 7 years and I must have bought them for $8 too at TJ Maxx on clearance, and they are still in great shape. God Bless, Rachel xo
