Fashion Favorites: Red Pants 7 Ways

While black pants will always be my favorite, red pants make a fun and confident statement. 

Looking over the ways I've worn my red pants over the last year, I find that I usually pair them with other neutrals.  I opt for modern graphics and cat prints to complement the bold red.

Here are some of the ways I've worn my red pants over the last year:

Casual Monday!

Jeans:  Torrid (Available here)
Blouse:  The Limited (Sold out on-line; may be available in some stores)

Today is the St. Louis Cardinals' season home opener, so we had a casual day at my job.

I decided to wear my new stiletto skinny jeans from Torrid and mixed them with a red and navy printed top.  The ankle-zip jeans are just a tad too long, but I'm hoping they'll shrink up a bit.  

Blazer:  The Limited
Tote:  The Limited

I was hunting for for a pair of distressed jeans, but I couldn't find any that I liked.  Most factory-distressed jeans are overdone, in my opinion.  I am planning on giving these a DIY-distressing job but decided to wear them today before they get too casual for work.

Necklace:  Vintage Judith Leiber
Clutch:  Vintage 1980s

For work, I added a red blazer to dress the look up a bit and to show support for the Redbirds.

I'm not much of a professional sports fan, but I decided to take the opportunity for another day of casual at work.

Heels:  Target (old)

Hope you all had a great day!!

Going Bold in the Workplace

Today, I paired my red pants with a geometric print tunic.  I toned down the look for work by adding a navy blazer.

Blazer:  The Limited (Available here)

Bright colors and bold prints are great, but wearing too much of either in a more conservative work place can be tricky.  Mixing bold colors and prints with neutrals in classic shapes, like this navy blazer, is a great way to show confidence and sass without being too extreme.

Heels:  Target (Available in other colors here)

Necklace:  The Limited (No longer on-line; May be available in stores)

A delicate necklace, stud earrings, and a statement bracelet accentuate the look but don't go too bold.

Dress It Up

Hi everyone!  Hope you had a great day!

Today, I paired this blue dress with my zebra print scarf.  I love animal prints, and I really enjoy mixing bold colors with black and white prints for a very graphic look.

Dress:  New York & Company (Similar:  here)
Scarf:  The Limited (old)

Blazer:  The Limited Essential Collection (Similar: here)
Tights:  Torrid (Available here)

I continually try to think of new ways to style my dresses.  They're definitely more limited than separates, but I like how wearing the scarf hides the cowl neckline of the dress giving it a bit of a different look.
