Loosen up!

There is no doubt that skinny jeans/pants have burrowed their way from a flashy trend to a wardrobe staple.  The right fit makes for a classic piece for anyone.  However, I've got to say that I'm a little skinnied out.

I was pretty excited to see some more relaxed styles walking down the runways this time around at fashion week.  Not to be mistaken for baggy, these styles still have crisp tailoring, but with a relaxed edge.

Paired with a feminine flat, like these:

It's very me, I guess.  I love the classic, on-the-go, non-fussy look of these pants!  Pairing a heel doesn't seem quite right, but a simple but chic leopard flat (thanks for the red cap toe, Kate Spade!) makes for the perfect complement.

Just add a simple top and, BOOM, done. 

Would you move your skinnies over for a relaxed style?

Once fall rolls around, my uniform is pretty much black.  I stock up on versatile, mixable pieces for each cold season, and my accessories float me through. One of my favorite prints for accessorizing: LEOPARD! It has a punchy, fun vibe and goes with everything.  It's been quite the trend recently, and if you're not ready to buckle down and buy a leopard blazer or another big investment piece, the accessories are the way to go!  Any trend can really be tried out through accessories, and this one is just so right.  Can't wait to give it a try!
