One Hand in my Pocket

February 12th, 2009

Mossimo Tee, Vintage Necklaces and Bracelet, H&M Cropped Trousers, Vintage Belt, Seychelles Heels

Ever since I entered the working world, I haven’t been able to embrace the whole business attire thing. Sure I can throw on a dress and heels, but when it comes to coordinating slacks with blazers, I feel constricted, stuffy and uncomfortable. That’s why, when I spotted these cropped trousers, I knew they’d offer just the right balance between looking sharp but maintaining a bit of style at the same time.

those cropped trousers are a great idea! i’m not a big fan of the matchy-matchy business attire so these seem like a great compromise. and one can never go wrong with a white tee and layered gold necklaces. You look great girl!

I am in a similar situation at my work – I can wear frou frou dresses or sleek pencil skirts but I have mass confusion from slacks and pants. One of the reasons I try not to wear them! I like this look on you, it’s sharp but breezy. Perfect for the SoCal office!
(loving how the belt compliments the soles of your shoes)

So cute! Perfect springy shade of grey too. My aunt just bought me a few pairs of cropped pants and I couldn’t figure out what to do with them. Can’t wait to try it out!

Wow. You are an incredibly stylish individual. There are very few without a stylist that get it spot-on like you. I have only just found your blog, but I’ll be looking forward to your outfit posts. It’s only a shame that I live in England, so can’t follow your clothes recommendations too much!
