Stripes & Stilettos

When dressing for work, I like to look for some classic styles as inspiration. I’m not sure it gets more classic than stripes and stilettos. My office isn’t as dressy as many and the school-setting is overall more relaxed, so I like to put a modern and relaxed twist on them. These pants can easily be dressed up, like I did here, or down. Plus, they are super comfortable. This is one of my favorite styles of pant for work, because I love how effortless they are and I actually want to wear them after hours or on the weekends.

These off-white striped pants fit true to size, but I’d size up if you want an even more relaxed fit. I went with an XS in them. I styled them with a classic black cami (my favorite— it comes in a few colors) and a classic black blazer. Both are investments pieces that you will wear for years and years to come, so I always think they are worth a little splurge. If you’d prefer more affordable versions, try this cami (it comes in 8 colors & is buy 1, get one 50% off) or this blazer. I kept my accessories simple with this look and topped off the look with my go-to pair of sunnies.

To style these pants for an off-duty look, throw on a grey or black t-shirt and a fun pair of sneakers. They would also look cute with heeled booties and a leather moto jacket. For an off-duty daytime look, I’d add a fun backpack like this one.

Last night was my post-Whole 30 celebration at one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Dallas, Sprezza. My husband, my best friend, and I went and ate our hearts out. If you follow me on Instagram and watch my stories, then you definitely saw all the delicious food! I’m trying to be back on the Whole 30 mindset today and stick to clean eating. But, the social calendar seems to fill up quickly after I finish these because my friends have just been waiting on me to be able to drink wine! haha. Wine just makes things more fun #amiright?! Even movies, but then again, candy makes those more fun, too. At least my intentions for the rest of the week are good. Ya win some, ya lose some. I’ll have fun for a bit and then whip myself back into more structure post-Valentine’s Day. Speaking of, if you need any last minute shopping ideas, check out my gift guides! I have one for her you can see here and one for him you can see here. XO
