New York & Company cropped pants
And she was wearing them to court, which is the seal of approval for the latest trends in conservative offices.
Her very chic pants reminded me that I received an invitation earlier this week to speak at a legal department's corporate retreat. I was told the dress code would be casual, "Absolutely no jeans, but cropped pants are okay!" See cropped pants are cropping up everywhere. Sorry, I had to go there.
Helen's are from New York & Company, and are described as "power pants" online. She bought two pairs during the buy one pair, get one pair free sale.
So I went imaginary shopping and bought these:
Aw, man, I might have to go the New York & Company at the mall for realsies, tho'...
I am wearing cropped pants today! I love them!
ReplyDeleteA realsie trip to the mall? LOL Love that. Take me with you please.
ReplyDeleteLove those window pane checked pants. ( I think that's the correct name) I remember my mother having some of those back in the early 70's. Very hip!
ReplyDeleteLove the color on that first pair you "imaginary shopped" - Target has some similar and I want them so badly. Love the window pane check on Helen's pair too; professional but still fun!
ReplyDeleteNow this is a great example of being divided by a common language. I KNOW pants means trousers. I KNOW. But in the UK, your pants are your knickers/scanties/undies, whatever word you choose. So the idea of Power Pants has me chuckling! Mine are big enough to be Powerful, I reckon.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, your attorney's trousers look great, and of course this is a style that suits you very well. No mall though, Lynne, remember your shopping embargo? Ahh, rules, even self-imposed ones, are there for the breaking, aren't they?! xx
Curtise, now I'm laughing at our stupid American power pants...lol. Oddly, enough I think Americans really differentiate between pants (outerwear) and panties (underwear).
DeleteI also cheated and went to NY&Co tonight, and all of the power pants looked, like, well shit on me. Which is what I deserved :P
You weren't joking when you said your boss was super stylish! She looks great. I have a recent new-found appreciation for cropped pants.
ReplyDeletePower pants! A new concept. I love wearing cropped pants because they highlight the shoes. Your imaginary shopping was very fruitful; the coral pants would be a good way to top off the summer.
ReplyDeleteI love the window panes. Found a pair on eBay a while back, but I can't get them to come up past my knee now. Oh well!
