OOTD (featuring the Safari pant)

I didn't have time to write the post that I had planned yesterday but I want to share very quickly my OOTD featuring the safari pant that I tried last Thursday when I was in store and fell in love with.
I am wearing the pearl color, that incidentally is the same color of the applique flower tee:



The ristop cargo pant didn't look good on me but these have a slimmer fit and I like that they have patch pockets instead of the bulky pockets of the cargo pant. In my opinion they run TTS to small (I bought a 0 and they just fit), but they tend to stretch out a little bit. Granted, at $69.50 they are a little bit expensive for an utilitarian pant and you can find a similar style for less at Old Navy or the Gap but trying them is loving them. However, I wouldn't wear them with heels as Jenna's team suggests, they read as really casual to me.

Because the tee has a small splash of neon orange, I tucked it in and wore a neon orange belt (bought for $6.99 this winter), that helps to break the outfit:



My pedicure matched the orange details:



By the way, I am wearing a pair of Old Navy faux-leather flip flops. They come in an array of colors (including a neon pink that I also have and it is perfect to pair with the neon pink that JCrew is offering this season) and they are only $9.50 (the white and black appear to be sold-out online but you can look for them in store). I highly reccomend them over the Jcrew leather version (I also find them more comfortable because they have rubber on the sole). In any case the life of the leather flip-flops is very short so I would rather have plenty of colors to chose from than one expensive pair.

Have a happy Mother's Day weekend. It looks like is going to be rainy here...

  1. Those are cute pants: the fabric looks cozy too. They have a great fit, and look great with that tee.
    I wish you a Happy Mothers Day! It is cold and rainy here as well, perfect for lounging around and letting the husbands do the cooking!

  2. Great post---I think the pearl safari pants are beautiful and I like the idea of the Old Navy flip flops. I have the Clark's leather thong in pewter which I wear all the time and I'd love to have a few more colors without spending too much. Love the toenails! Happy Mother's Day.

  4. I ordered these pants in my usual JC pant size and they arrive on Monday, I hope they fit because I really like them. I like the orange belt with the pants it makes the outfit.
