 Club Monaco Top & Pants, Mark Cross Bag, Chanel Loafers (similar here under $20)[/outfit_section]

It’s not that often that I find a pair of pants I love and fit just right. Because of that, combined with my feminine style, I’ve always gravitated towards wearing dresses. Recently however, I’ve discovered my love for a wide leg cropped pant/culotte. It’s a fit and style that I’ve found both flattering and comfortable, along with it being easy to style. This navy sailor style from Club Monaco is my current favorite pair along with these pink cropped pants I also have that just went on sale.

I pulled out this outfit during our trip to NYC a few weeks ago. We had a day full of meetings and while I initially was planning on wearing heels with these pants, I knew flats would be a lot more practical. These blush loafers have been one of my favorite purchases this year- I wear them time and time again because of how easy they are to mix with everything. I’ve found quite a few similar styles online, that are also budget friendly (under $60!) here, here and here.

I’ve never regretted buying a striped shirt or sweater. While this particular one from Club Monaco, when paired with these sailor-style pants, creates more of a nautical vibe, it transitions easily to a classic look when worn with white jeans or a navy skirt. I also love this long sleeve version from J.Crew and this navy and white knit sweater that’ll look so chic and effortless when worn with a pair of jeans and ballet flats over the weekend.
