patterned

polka dot pants, pink
When I start school this fall, the way I dress will have to change. My school requires us to be in "business casual" clothing at all times on campus, which for the men means shirt and tie. The clothing for women isn't as clearly defined though. I know that blue jeans will be out of the question, so for the next couple of months I'm going to explore my options out there. Since colored skinny jeans just aren't working for me anyway, I'm really hoping that colored and patterned pants will be a way to add color into my wardrobe. I really like my polka dot pants - they fit a lot better than skinny jeans do - so I hope to find a few pairs similar to them. I'm for sure going to try these pants (one | two | three | four) as I think they would look great with a nice simple blouse and the accessories I already have. 

Do you have a favorite store when it comes to buying "dress" pants? I have never really had to buy a lot of them, so I'm starting out new here.

the jennifer

I really like Jennifer Aniston's "off duty" style - she's mostly found in jeans, blazers, a big belt, and a scarf and I think she always look so chic.

So instead of attributing my plain outfit to my impending sickness and the fact that my hair wasn't doing what I wanted it to this morning, let's all pretend that I'm channeling Jennifer and applaud me for my efforts on not going to work in sweatpants.

*that I got for free this weekend during a deal at Sally Beauty...but I hate it because within 12 hours (8 of which were slept) there were 3 chips! This was my first bottle of China Glaze and needless to say it did not impress.
