Pants day is still my least favourite day of the week, but I’m coming around to it slowly. It helps when you’re wearing shoes this cute. Wait, is it time for another close-up? I think so.

Ahem. The rest of the outfit isn’t bad either. You probably can’t tell, but these are my *navy* (not black) thrifted Sloan pants, which happen to go nicely with an old J. Crew top I affectionately call the “moody floral”. When J. Crew floral prints are good, they are SO good. I haven’t actually looked at the new Crew offerings in months, and I’m starting to wonder if I’ve been missing out. Oh well, I’ll find out in another 12-18 months when they start turning up in consignment and thrift stores.

I topped everything off with my greige blazer, because when in doubt, etc. No word of a lie, this is starting to rival my tweed J. Crew Factory blazer for off-the-charts versatility. It’s something about this colour, so unassuming on its own — kinda like a chameleon. But enough about that. Tell me: do you dread pants day, or live for it? And if it’s the latter, what’s your go-to outfit maker?

6 Comments on Pants Day Comes Again

  1. I like pants day – nylons and tights are sometimes the last things I want to deal with. Nylons especially when it’s hot out! So nice crops for summer it is! (I just can’t with the bare legs to work – it looks great on other people but I feel so unprofessional.) I struggle with warm weather professional dressing myself so this summer I’m trying to match Tshirts and blazers with pants to have something slightly professional but still cool. My winter go-to is pants, a collared shirt, and a sweater. That makes pants day preppy! I also love your floral blouse!

    • I feel the same way re nylons. I tried going without the other day, and felt weird. I’ve gotten used to wearing them year-around now, sigh.
