Your Favorite Pair of Pants

For women finding the perfect pair of pants can be a long process, that some would even consider painful. All women understand that no matter your body type it is difficult to find a pair of pants that fit how they should and don't change shape throughout the day. Working in the retail industry I've been able to see first-handed how grueling the process is to help a woman find a pair of pants she loves and wants to wear. According to a 2012 Glamour survey, women will spend up to five times more at a store where they are loyal to pants and denim.

After finding the perfect pair of pants you will find yourself going back to that brand just to check if any other pants that are as flattering as the last pair you found. Not only does it depend on the style of the pant but also how comfortable they are. My favorite pair of pants are the kind I can throw on in the morning to go to class, head into work for a couple hours after, then throw on a different top and am ready to go out.

Your favorite pair of pants say a lot about your personality. Whether they are dark rinse skinny jeans perfect for any occasion or those black trousers that can help you nail any meeting or interview. My favorite pair of pants where purchased at LOFT last spring. These paisley print pants have the perfect combination of blue, green, and yellow to go along with countless number of tops and accessories. Some of my friends call them the "granny pants" but I love those granny pants. I never feel more confident then when I am wearing these pants, bright and bold just like my personality.

Now these pair have come out for the fall collection and I have them on my wishlist. 

Brightening Up a Foggy Day

Waking up in the morning is hard enough when it's still dark out, on a dreary day getting dressed can directly reflect the weather and your mood. It's hard to resist breaking out a pair of leggings and your favorite oversized tee, but that will leave you feeling just as drab as the weather outside. You need to decide you will be that ray of sunshine on such a dull day, and dressing a little cheerier can definitely help this happen. When you're happy in what you're wearing it helps build confidence inside and out. Starting off your day feeling good about yourself will stick with you while you have to drive through all that fog on the way to work or class. So next time you're faced with this predicament just remember, it's your choice whether or not to give into the grey day.

On my first grey day I faced this year I choose to brighten it up with a sundress, denim jacket, and riding boots. After being at the Centre County Grange Fair for a week this outfit was a little country inspired. My new favorite accessory has been knuckle rings. Delicate little rings, sometimes sold in stacks, that lie right between your second and third knuckle. I actually found an awesome vendor at the Grange Fair who sold knuckle and toe rings.
