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.
Before and After…
Dotted tank available at LOFT
Editor pants are old, but still available in various colors/styles at Express
Mint belt available at J. Crew
High rise jeans from Madewell, same or similar ones are still available I think
Don’t forget to check out the outfit challenge (it’s not a contest – everyone’s a “winner” as long as you participate before Friday this week)!
You look so classy and stylish in both outfits!!

Very cute- like how you tied the cardigan in the second outfit- made it more fun and playful for your party!
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.
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.
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. 🙂
Well with good taste in clothes comes good taste in animals, I suppose. Thanks for stumbling by!
I love both looks! Crazy how a couple styling choices can completely change your whole look!
You look seriously good in those editor trousers! The fit on you is so flattering!
Thanks! I have 3 or 4 pairs since I know they fit me well! They just got neglected this year.
love how you styled this look!
