Black Pants for Work: High-Waisted Trousers

I've featured this suit on the blog before here and here, but it really is one of my favorites.  

Pants:  The Limited (old)
Blazer:  The Limited (old)

Blouse:  The Limited (Available here)

As much as I enjoy skinny pants and jeans, I love the elegance that wide leg trousers have.  Wide leg trousers are making a major comeback for spring, and I'm hoping to find another pair.  The high waist and tie belt add a little flair.

I've featured this suit in vintage-inspired looks before, but today I took the suit in a more contemporary direction with a modern dot print blouse, gold horn necklaces, and open-toe booties.

Boots:  Target (Available here)

Clutch:  Vintage

The red clutch adds a fun pop of color.

Necklaces:  The Limited and Target (Available here)

Are you a fan of wide leg trousers?

Feminine Suiting

Whenever I think I've dressed a little too casually for work (see yesterday's outfit), I often purposefully choose something more formal to wear the next day.

Pants:  The Limited (old)
Blouse:  The Limited (old) (Similar here and here)

Today, I chose my black high-waisted pants and paired them with a polkadot bow-front blouse.

Blazer:  The Limited (Similar here)
Belt:  The Limited

I love the retro vibe of the look. It's classic, but in an interesting way as it has a 1940s vibe.

I paired the outfit with a peplum blazer for work since it was chilly today.

Earrings: The Limited (Available here)
Purse:  The Limited (old)

Today's look isn't too different than one I previously posted (see here).  I had originally planned on wearing a red blazer, but I just felt like this one worked better.  

Shoes:  Target (old)

Sometimes it can easy to get stuck in certain outfit pairings, but if it ain't broke, why fix it, right?
