Black and Blue

Happy Friday everyone!! Is it just me, or did this week feel loooong?  I had shortened weeks for almost all of December, so it was really tough coming back full time.


Top - JCrew Factory (similar here and here) / Pants - Gap (old, similar here and here) / Booties - BCBG (old, similar) / Bag - Unknown (similar here, here, here)


These pants are my new go-to party pants.  I actually originally purchased them a couple of years back when I had to wear dress pants to work every day (we've since gone casual - yessssss), but I recently rediscovered them as an alternative to leggings.  They have a similar look, but are a lot thicker than regular leggings (we're talking fully, 100% opaque) and can actually be worn with a shorter top without being scandalous.  I texted my sister while I was wearing them and said I was out at a party wearing dress pants, and I believe her return text was "WHO ARE YOU??"


This week I'm excited to be co-hosting the Fab Favorites link up with Style Elixir and The Grits Blog.  Be sure to follow these other lovely ladies and join the link up below!

    1. Thanks Alyssa! I actually really like black and blue together, as long as the shades aren't too close.
