Day 1
 |
| Top, Topshop. Jeans, Forever 21. Purse, Ferragamo. Shoes, Steve Madden. |
On Day 1 of 5 Days Of Pants I actually built the outfit around my top! I bought this fierce, fuzzy sweater from Topshop in the midst of my dress phase and could not wait to wear it. I thought the slate gray color would pair really nicely with navy (that color combo is huge for fall!), so I dug around in my closet and came up with these blue plaid jeans from Forever 21. Since my shirt was so cuddly and...big, a structured navy Ferragamo bag gave the outfit some shape. I added black heels to bring another nuetral into the mix, and topped it off with a 60s-inspired sphere ring. I loved this outfit!
Day 2
 |
| Jeans, H&M. Top, Forever 21. Blazer, Vintage. Shoes, Sam Edelman. Hat, Nordstrom. |
On Day 2 I ran back to my go-to jeans. The contrast of something casual with something fancy is always fun, so I decided to pair them with a delicate beaded tank top- very 1920s. Since I was headed to work, I threw a neutral blazer and nude pumps into the mix, but it still felt a little too plain. Instead of reaching for a statement necklace or a fun piece of jewelry to jazz it up, I grabbed a baseball hat! Baseball caps are actually super on-trend this season, and this one gave my outfit the pop that it needed.
Day 3
 |
| Shirt, Zara. Pants, Forever 21. Shoes, Mi Piaci. |
I spent Day 3 changing my license plates, getting a smog check, and sitting at the DMV for 3 hours...so needless to say, I was looking to be comfortable. I reached for a comfy pair of black ankle pants and a black tee shirt. Since these pieces were soooo basic, I knew I needed to amp things up with my footwear. I grabbed purple crystal-embellished brogues that I bought on my trip to New Zealand Fashion Week and called it a day. Purple lipstick instead of my usual red gave the whole look a goth-y vibe. This is probably the only time you will ever see me with my hair up!
Day 4
 |
| Pants, 3.1 Phillip Lim. Top, Nordstrom. Necklace, Forever 21. |
Day 4 was spent filming a segment on red carpet fashion at work, so I wanted to look polished. I turned to my wide-leg pants from 3.1 Phillip Lim (I last wore them here), and added a black cropped sweater. To give some warmth to the black and white look, I chose a wide brown belt with bronze detailing. Since gold is warm tone (and silver is cool), I knew that my chunky gold chain link necklace would be the perfect accessory. My shoes didn't matter, because you never saw them under my pant legs, but I wore my highest black heels to make my legs look as long as possible!
Day 5
 |
| Top, blazer, and belt, H&M. Jeans, Naked & Famous. Clutch, MCM. Shoes, Steve Madden. Necklace, Topshop. |
For Day 5 I was back to jeans, but this time I reached for a pair from Naked & Famous. This brand seriously makes the perfect jeans: there's very little stretch, so they keep their shape and wear really well! When I first got them, they were long and boot cut, but after seeing this street style shot I was inspired to chop them into ankle jeans with a pair of kitchen scissors! I like the result- they look just a little more chic than the originals. Turtlenecks are back in style (yay!), and I wore mine under a grey and navy (there's that color combo again...) blazer with the arms pushed up. A big belt buckle and a statement necklace added some pizzazz, and my MCM clutch served as a pop of (neutral) color.
I didn't have as much fun during 5 Days Of Pants as I did with my dresses, but all in all I'm proud that I pushed myself to take denim and comfy pants to another level. It just goes to show that you can be comfortable and cool with a little styling!
Stay tuned for 5 Days Of Skirts!!
