Yep, it's true. I'm wearing pants.This isn't a very common occurrence but I felt like challenging myself today and pants was the best/hardest way to do it. Not only do I think pants make my hourglass figure look misshapen, but I have a hard time putting together a cute outfit that also feels feminine. I'm most comfortable when my legs are free from constricting jean material so you can see why I considered this a challenge! Either way, I was up for it and I feel this outfit is feminine enough for me.
The way I chose to make these pants look feminine was the addition of a lace peplum top and a great pair of wedges. I think this top from August Wrinkle is so pretty. I especially love the deep scoop detail in the back. My leopard wedges are a summer staple, but this warmer weather has me pulling them out a little early this year. How do you like to wear jeans? And how would you dress them up? I'd love to hear your suggestions!
I loveeee tops with scoops in the back like that. And this is ADORABLE. I can't wear pants either - it feels wrong! You still look great in them though
Oh, this is the frist (or second??) time I've ever seen you in pants. You look cute though!
Huh, now that I think about it, I tend to go very classic- button-ups, plain Ts with boot-cut or wider legged jeans or cigarette pants- or boyish- a blazer. If they are skinny jeans, I like to pair with something a little more flowy on top.
OMG, I don't think I've ever seen you wear pants before! I think this outfit definitely shows off your figure and the lace top makes it so feminine! I love black jeans because they feel more sophisticated than regular denim. Such a cute look!
I think you look amazing in pants as well as dresses, you could rock anything lady!!! I have issues styling pants to, but forcing yourself to do it makes it easier and they can be so damn comfy sometimes. I am loving the lace peplum top and those leopard print wedges are to die for! You look gorgeous as always :) xJennaD
You're the queen of dresses, but I love the pants on you, too! I feel like I blog outfit posts with pants 90% of the time haha maybe I need to switch it up!
haha when I saw the first picture before I even read it I was like "wow I think this is the first time I've seen her in pants!" but I think they look great on you and you definitely did a great job making them look feminine! I'm the same way, I could go weeks without wearing pants and never even realize it!
What you did here is soooo cute! I definitely wear dresses more often for the same reason as yours, but skinnies look really nice with heels!! That top is soooo adorable too. I love the pants from Express, they feel like jeggings but look like jeans :) Comfy!
you look GREAT in pants my dear you should wear them more often. I agree though that they often feel constricting but sometimes I need a change from wearing cute dresses or tops with skirts and jeans or pants look good with almost anything! I hope you have a great weekend xo Ilana @ My Modern Vintage
Haha I have the same problem with wearing jeans! I think I look disproportionate.. But Ashley you look great! You should wear them more often :) And I love that peplum top, it's so pretty and romantic. I can't wait until it's warm enough here to wear wedges! -Jessi haircutandgeneralattitude.blogspot.com
That lace top is SO pretty! I wear jeans allll the time in the winter...I find it's just too darn cold for skirts/dresses!
