When you find a pair of pants that are slim enough to tuck into boots, made with work-appropriate material, and strikes the perfect balance between being stretchy and having the right amount of shape that you actually feel skinny in them, you buy it every color. I was lucky to get the three pairs I currently own at 50% off, but Banana Republic has frequent 25-40% discounts so sign up for their email or check their website often. I’m hoping to get a pair in beige. You can see me wearing the navy and burgundy pairs in previous posts.

As for my obsession with stripes, this is just the beginning. I love how a little pattern can make an outfit so much more interesting.

I’m not the only person that puts a sleeve on cold drink cups right?
