“Look into pants” is what I mutter under my breath when I see a girl wearing leggings with a too-short top (sometimes it’s louder, depending on the severity of the situation). Today, though, it’s my advice to everyone for the next time you’re trying to figure out what to wear for a special occasion. Why do we think we have to wear a dress or skirt to look fancy? Fun fact: I wore pants and boots to my senior prom. I looked good, and all the other girls were jealous that I was so much more comfortable than they were.
This top is so damn pretty and feminine I figured I didn’t need anything else special to look appropriate for my friend’s wedding. So I thought to myself: “Hmm. I should look into pants. Just simple, slim cut, black pants.” And the rest is pantstory.

The top is wonderful but I can’t get over those shoes!
I know, I couldn’t pass them up even though I had no particular purpose for them at the time. I’ve made good use of them since, though!
Gorgeous outfit! I like that the top mixes two colors of lace in a very flattering shape and the tie back is a lovely touch. You make a great case for wearing pants for special occasions. 🙂
Love it! A very elegant look! I love that little bow bracelet. I think it complements the whole outfit so well!
Stunning. That top is so elegant and feminine. Please share your prom pic at some point!
Oh gosh, I think I have a little wallet sized one in a box somewhere. Facebook didn’t exist back then…makes it seem like the Stone Ages!
Absolutely gorgeous! Perfectly classy for a wedding. I am with Alicia thought…share the prom pic!
I think this is a nice wedding attire alternative. Still ladylike with the lace top and the scalloped edges on the shoes. And the pants fit you well so they are polished.
