I truly believe what I said the other day about ankle pants being a casual chic girl's best friend. I didn't want to just wear jeans and I didn't want to commit to trousers (and none of them like me right now anyway). Ankle pants are the perfect in-between.

Actually, I could have worn black trousers now that I look at these pictures, and I would have loved it. This particular outfit is inspired by one of my favorite Anne Hathaway ensembles from Devil Wears Prada. I can't find a full size screen shot that shows her own long wide-legged bottoms, but a picture of the top half of the outfit might give you enough of an idea of the look I was going for.
I simply adore the buttoned collar under the bateau neckline, layered with chains. Menswear-meets-Audrey-Hepburn chic. I'd worn a version of this with a black sweater long ago, but I thought I'd pull this pretty baby blue sweater out of retirement to revisit it for spring, adding oranges and corals for pops of color. Of course, I have no Chanel in my closet, so a few long chains of lesser birth had to do.

Incidentally, this is about the only way I'll consent to wearing a white button-up.

I really want to try ankle pants! I always think I shouldn't because of my height. But I think that's a lie. If I find them in the right fit and crop them to the perfect place, I think it could work! LOVE this shade of powdery blue on you, too!
ReplyDeleteI know this is totally random but I'd love to see the back of your hair when you wear it up like this. I never wear my hair up because I never like how it looks. I always look like a sloppy mess but this is so cute.
