I had to go pants shopping this month. Like…real pants. I made it through the past 3 winters with jeans because I was in school, but now I have a few months of cold weather business casual ahead of me. I have no problem with tights and skirts/dresses, but I have to have a break sometimes. But ugh…pants shopping. If you’re under the impression that finding flattering pants would be easy if only you were a size 2: go ahead and have another brownie. Being a small size doesn’t help.

And even when I do find a pair of pants that looks great in the dressing room, I sometimes find they lose their shape by the end of 8 hours at a desk. So that’s why I started my pants shopping with these from Target – at $28 they’ll let me experiment a little bit. As you can see, the knees did look a little baggy by the end of the day. I think I’ll probably have to wash them after every wear to get them back into shape. Still, the fit and length are pretty great, and I like the colorblock thing they have going on. Kinda like racing stripes! Which of course are so appropriate for my lifestyle. I think I’ll get a Corvette too. Who even cares about your pants when you’re driving a Corvette, right? A new car may be the answer to all my pants problems.

It’s been a busy week, folks. This biz-casual look is from Tuesday, when I worked a full day at my internship, then went to dinner with the in-laws, then did some very important shopping at H&M. OK, so some of the busy-ness I bring on myself. Like this blog post, for example. I could probably save myself a little time by skipping a post once in a while, but blogging is just so fun I consider it my sanity-saver even if it does mean I have to stay up a little later to finish other more important things.

And it would just be so tragic if I didn’t share this cute little polka-dotted outfit with you. Right? Just think about how enriched your life is now that I’ve taken time out of my busy schedule to show you what I wore. You’re welcome. You can thank me by donating to my favorite charity, the Sarah’s Law School Loan Repayment Fund. Or you can just leave me a nice comment.
