WIW: Easy Peasy

Life has become unbelievably busy - a major event at work has thrown my days into a state of chaos and home is just as crazy. So I want to wear outfits that are still stylish but have an emphasis on comfort and ease of wearing.

Today's outfit started with these new Express Editor Glen plaid bootcut trousers. I wanted some trousers that were not black, had some pattern and could read as a false grey. Bingo! 

I paired the trousers with a simple black knit pull over, which I've faux tucked into the belt. I guess this outfit is akin to Angie's formula of bootcut trousers with fluid knit top.

My black patent booties, black with gold hardware handbag and rose gold/black watch round out the outfit.

So what do you think? Does this work? I can tell already I'm going to love these trousers. Soooooooo comfy. As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Pullover: Sears
Trousers: Express
Belt and handbag: Danier Leather
Booties: Ara
Watch: Fossil (eBay)

P.S. Going for an eye exam after work today - I know my prescription has changed again. My eyes have been driving me crazy. Might need your help in a couple of days to pick new glasses.

    You look very sharp today. I can see why you love those trousers. They have a drapey elegance to them. I think they will be very versatile. Hoping that things calm down a bit for you. [Ooooh! New glasses ahead? How fun! Looking forward to seeing what you pick.]

    Gorgeous. Streamlined, modern and elegant. Love those pants:). Life does sound crazy but I trust you are enjoying it. xxx

    Oh yes!  I'm so interested in wide leg trousers now, but wearing them for days at home seems a little OTT, unless they're yoga pants, and the snow is keeping me in tall boots.  Do you just stuff them in boots for your commute.

    You look terrific!  Keep moving forward and try to take care of yourself! 

  • MsMary replied 10 years ago

    Well, you certainly don't look like things are hectic!  You look stylish, calm, and collected!  I love those patterned pants in particular!!

    Truly. It's just soooo fabulously simple yet effective. I can see red specs make this outfit even better.

    Thank you all so much for you comments. I felt really good in this outfit today and I'm in love with these trousers.

    Angie, it's funny you mention red specs 'cause...(see my separate post)

    I just love glen plaid trousers. I had a pair last year that I wore right out, I wore them so much. You look calm, cool, and collected, and ready to take on the world!

    I have a pair of glen plaid trousers sitting on hold because I can't figure out how to style them.  I'm looking forward to your remixes with these.  And this is a great first look for them.  They look quite comfy!
