“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.

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. If you didn’t, no worries…you can live vicariously through mine, which was pretty fantastic. On Saturday night I went to the wedding of a law school friend and wore this fancy schmancy dress that my buddies at H&M sent me. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have picked it out for myself but I’m kind of glad I got peer pressured into it. The whole sheer, deep V, cut-out back business is pretty sexy and not usually the kind of thing I’m drawn to, but I actually felt pretty confident in this.

Speaking of H&M and peer pressure, I of course have to remind you that if you live in the U.S. you can order this dress (and lots of others) online now! I have my eye on this chambray dress for my next order. Oh and don’t forget about the 50 States of Fashion contest either. All you have to do is snap a photo of your stylish self and post it on Instagram with the hash tag #HMShopOnlineIN or whatever your state’s abbreviation is!
