Dress Beautifully: paper bag pants

Friday Favorites: Paper Bag Pants

Paper bag pants are a flattering and feminine piece. They're also classic and very comfortable.

What makes them unique is their silhouette created by pleats, a cinched tie waist often with a gathered top and tapered leg.

Style Tips:

High waist - long pleats
Structured fabric
Ankle Hem
Fitted tucked in top
Keep the self fabric tie - I'm always telling you to swap it out on dresses but in this case it creates a streamlined look

These pants do not have to be dressy - a graphic tee and sneaker are so chic! Just make sure the hem is high enough to show skin above the shoe.

I'm posting a video on my IG Stories reviewing these pants :) #awkward But I hope it gives you a better look.

Here are some pretty paper bag pants ...

Hint of Spring

I dare say that Spring is in the air! More like it hasn't rained in 3 days so I'm celebrating the sunshine and outside as much as possible.
Florals for Spring - revolutionary right?!!

Sprinkling in pretty printed blooms surely does give your outfits that Springy look. Rather than mix the brighter, lighter flowers with lighter brighter neutrals, stick to the deep dark neutrals for the transition from winter to spring. Like navy, black Burgundy and plum for example.

And once Easter finally gets here (so late this year!) you can go ahead and slip into those white jeans. Or just skirt the rules and wear them whenever you want.

This blouse is one of my best additions this year. It's comfortable and the collar is absolutely gorgeous and feminine.
The paper bag pant is a must! It whittles your waist and if that wasn't enough they're super comfortable.

Also, I'm a big advocate of the ankle length pant. It allows for any type of shoe creating a variety of looks & styles.
