People tell me on a regular basis that they love reading my blog because I’m funny and clever. (I never tire of these compliments. Keep ’em coming.) But sometimes I even impress myself. “Ikat Believe It’s Not Pajamas”? Come on. That’s an amazing title. Especially because in this outfit, I styled ikat print lounge pants for the office. Did I get away with it? Well, I wasn’t fired. It depends on your own office’s atmosphere and dress code, but I think silky, drapey, printed pants can totally pass for business casual. Here are my rules: (1) They can’t be too roomy, (2) Wear them with conservative, classy pumps, (3) Keep the top half pretty basic, and (4) Avoid prints traditionally associated with actual pajamas, such as cupcakes, superheros, barnyard animals, and astronomical objects with cartoon faces.
