A Legend is Born

Workout pants are like jeans....they have to be a nice material, fit like a glove, make the bootie look firm and lifted (you know you want that) and be somewhat affordable... or they make your bootie look so good, you don't care how much they cost.

Say hello to the Nike Legend Pants.

I have a pair of the capri pants and just bought two of the full length. Check em' out! You won't be sorry! And here's a little of the back story (pun intended).

Dressy Pants

Because I'm tall, 5'10, with short in style, it often limits where and how I'm able to wear many of the dresses on the racks these days. Therefore, I'm a huge fan of wearing dresses and tunics over pants. My mom and sister sent me this great little sleeveless dress from H & M (thanks ya'll), which I wear out on the weekends by itself, but it's definitely WAY too short for work.

By throwing on a belt (Target), a navy short sleeve cardigan (Target), navy suit pants (Tahari), and some accessories, I was ready to go! If you've got a short dress that you like, try it with skinny pants, or tailored suit pants, you might just find you've got a whole new outfit. Even this Fall's designers are catching on to the trend.

P.S. Check out the Facebook page later today for a picture of what I wore today - I paired a Zara dress with some black pants from H & M that I got over the weekend. "Dressy Pants" in action!

Comfy + Chic

The Soft Pant from the Gap is the perfect pant to transition from Spring into Summer, especially here in Portland where Summer doesn't really start until the 4th of July.

The shoes are pretty cute too!
