Hey loves! I’m a bit excited to show you the newest addition to my closet. I can’t remember the last time I purchased some super fun and colorful pants, but after reading that ORANGE is the NEW black for 2014, I couldn’t resist wanting to be part of the “in” crowd. So, I went on a hunt for something different from what I’d usually purchase and could not resist these $8 khakis from GAP! (Yes, I also bought these when they were having the sale on top of a sale along with my sweater.) Actually, they’re more like a neon pink/peachy color, but it’s close enough 🙂 Do you guys have any pants like these or in another bright color? How do you wear it?
I can see myself wearing these to work or on the weekend for a family brunch or day at the beach. Love the slightly loose fit, how they hang perfectly on my hips, and of course the cuffed bottoms. I’ve been stalking the web site to see if I can score another pair in a different color. I mean, for $8, wouldn’t you do the same??
There are so many ways I can style these pants, but here are two ideas.
Because the fabric is casual, you can always dress it up with a tailored blazer and great accessories for a business casual or Casual Friday look. And, since they have cuffs, make sure to wear some awesome shoes!
WORK ATTIRE : BUSINESS CASUAL
Blazer: Express
Top: Thrifted
Pants: GAP
Bag: Coach
Shoes: Nine West
Necklace: Charming Charlie
Watch: Michael Kors
Belt: Forever21
Then, when the weekend arrives, take it down a notch for a casual weekend look. I went for a boho chic style with the ‘ole trusted side braid. You can find the simple tutorial HERE.
WKD WEAR : BOHO CHIC CASUAL
Top: Thrifted
Pants: GAP
Bag: Target
Shoes: Target
Earrings: Forever21
Watch: Michael Kors
Belt: Marshalls
Can you tell by all the bright colors that I’m ready for warmer weather? I love the winter, but I’m over it and ready to pack away my sweaters and scarfs. I know you feel my pain. RAWRs, hope you have a lovely day full of bright and happy moments!

The fit on these is great— and I commend you for bravely (and quite successfully!!!) embracing such a bold color— great styling!
Don’t you love when you can get a deal when taking a fashion risk? It almost makes the risk more fun and the payoff is greater when it is a success.
Love these looks and great heels!
LOVE those bright pants + tank! they make me wish summer was here (SKIP SPRING!) xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Oh my gosh, the work outfit is so cute! I like the weekend one, too!! You’re amazing at styling and while I probably won’t be trying to follow any culinary posts (I’m a disaster in the kitchen) I’ll read them in delight. So glad to have found your blog!
