I realized that this summer I’ve worn skirts, dresses, and shorts much more than I have in years past. This realization made me very concerned for the self-esteem of my pants. I hope they know I still love them. But the best way to make pants feel loved is to wear them. And so I did.

In fact, I wore TWO pairs of pants in one day. That’s right…we’ve got a double duty post on our hands today (see the last one here). The first outfit, which you have already admired, was what I wore to work. What you are getting ready to admire below is how I switched it up to go out for my birthday pizza at Mellow Mushroom.

High rise jeans from Madewell, same or similar ones are still available I think

  1. What a great transformation. A great example of how to totally change up the look of one shirt combo. I would be worried that tying it would stretch the cardigan — did it recover ok? I’m totally going to try out the tie up though, it’s really cute.

    1. Well if you saw the cardigan just hangin’ out without a belt, you would see that it actually lends itself well to knotting. The hem angles down longer in the front. I see what you were thinking though…PROTECT THE CLOTHES! Haha.

  2. Lovely day to night transformation! I just stumbled upon your blog via Kendieveryday, btw… have you noticed that a lot of fashion bloggers really like cats? Myself included. 🙂
