Khaki Alert

Last weekend I started rotating out my summer and lightweight options and going through my fall items when I noticed that I don't have a good pair of khaki pants to get me through the winter. All of my options are lightweight fabrics that are best left for the warmer months. So this weekend, I am on the hunt. My husband is interested in doing a little fall wardrobe shopping himself, but I need to do some recognizance because he will want to hit four stores...J. Crew, Macy's, Levi's, and the Gap and then head home. If he finds items that work, super. If he doesn't, game over. That's not exactly how I work. I can't come home empty-handed. As such, early research for possibilities is crucial.

City Fit Watson Pant - $59.50

Straight Leg Pant - $54.50

St. John's Bay Boot Cut Pants - $40.00

Docker's Iconic Fit Pant - $40.00

Yaya Aflalo Miller Pants - $119.99

Savvy Sale Pieces

Sadly I awoke way too early this morning and decided to use my early morning to scan sites for some online sales. The trick to buying sale items at this time of year is finding pieces that will can work for the early fall or that will work when spring comes back around. Here are a few items that can function for fall and end-of-summer prices.

Tibi Merino Dress - $255.00

Plaid Houndstooth Wide-Leg Pant - $69.99

Angelina Trench - $89.99

Stretch Vintage Peplum Jacket - $89.99

Joe's Jeans Wide-Leg Trouser Jeans - $93.50

Linen Wide Legged Striped Pants

I swear these pants look so comfy that you might be able to wear them to bed in lieu of pajamas. The Marisa fit linen pants at Victoria's Secret are an easy and breezy option for errands or the beach and they are only $49.50.

Wide-Legged Denim Pants

Are you looking for an affordable and flattering pair of wide-legged pants for your spring wardrobe? Look no further than these denim button-tab pants at the Gap. The are not only on sale for $49.50, but they come in regular, petite, and tall lengths.

Pinstripe Pants

Ignoring the matching vest that is pictured with them, these tailored Lauren by Ralph Lauren pants at Nordstrom are fantastic. I like the cut and the wide leg helps balance out a fuller bottom (aka "pear shaped").

Linen Pants

I don't know why, but I always forget that Victoria's Secret sells real clothes. And then I see something super cute there that's truly affordable, like these linen pants. They look incredibly comfortable and I could probably live in them most of the summer.
