Linen Wide Legged Pants

OK, I know it's not really spring yet, and that the temperatures are gonna drop back down again, but the weekend was simply fabulous! I'm so ready for springtime, and these pants are perfect for it! Buy at Anthropologie for $118.

Garter Leggings

I've posted garter leggings once before, but they were red velvet and these are basic black! And they're only $38 at Nasty Gal!

Work, Weekend and Wingding: Black Suit Pants

A month or so ago I read how some fashion editor or designer pretty much said women everywhere should throw out the basic black pants found in their wardrobes. I'm here to stand up for the black suit pant!! Not only is it insanely versatile, but I think with the right parings it can be just as chic as neon high waisted sweats or whatever overpriced garbage magazines are trying to sell us lately.

So I present to you, three ways to wear your black, straight leg pants - work, weekend or wingding:

Railstripe Boyfriend Jeans

I love railstripe for end of summer!! Not sure why, there's something about the faded pattern that conveys days in the sun and laziness, no? Buy these boyfriend jeans at Madewell for $128.

Go Buy Now: Gingham

It's a summer thing. Once the average temperature hits 90 and have find yourself attending a BBQ every other weekend (alternating with some outdoor concert, of course), gingham suddenly because a fun, retro trend everyone is rocking! Here are ten great pieces to update your wardrobe with!

Twill Overalls

A basic pair of overalls in two great colors - a purpleish pink and a blush! Perfect for festival fashion or just a lazy summer day, you can buy at ASOS for $65.

Tie Dye Skinny Jeans

Love the colors of this pair of tie dye jeans by Current/Elliot! Buy for the super sale price of $90 (originally $220!!) at theOutnet.com. If only they had my size...

Hot Pink Sarong Trousers

Sarong trousers are a staple wardrobe piece in tropical climates, and for good reason - they are perfect for hot and humid weather! Love this Zara pair in hot pink - buy for $60 and it also comes in black.

Faux Leather Overalls

I first wrote about them back in Feb, but overalls are definitely still happening, especially leather ones! Not sure why this wasn't a winter thing... but I suppose it's nto hot out yet to rock these! This pair is a very reasonable $88 at Need Supply.

Star Print Pants

When I saw these silk star print pants in a magazine, I immediately started to covet! Alas, I saw they were a out of my budget $350 at Tibi... perhaps if I ever get my tax return I will be able to afford them?

Ombre Skinny Jeans

More of the dip dye trend - these ombre jeans are back in stock at Nasty Gal, but who knows for how long! Buy today for $68.

Distressed Skinny Camo Jeans

Some people love leopard, others polka dots. My print of choice has got to be camo! Maybe it's my full time job at the USO? Either way, I adore these Rag & Bone skinnies found exclusively at ShopBop, buy today for $187.

Floral Monet Pants

Love these vibrant floral pants - aptly named Monet, Monet, Monet! Buy at Lulu*s for just $44 before they sell out!

Inspiration Board: Overalls

Lately I've noticed overalls popping up in street style pics and the runways! With trend starts such as Man Repeller, Hanneli Mustaparta and Miroslava Duma on board, I think overalls could really be the next big thing!

I really like the idea of pairing some overalls in a somewhat skinny silhouette and ankle length with a slouchy, off the shoulder top and some bright heels! but there are so many options you can play with right now, like leather overalls, distressed boyfriend overalls, colored overalls... this is an easy trend to try while still staying true to your own personal style!
