Calm between the storms

Between the snow storm on Saturday and the blizzard on Monday, we had brief respite on Sunday, an elusive 39° day. I seized the opportunity to wear some lighter layers and a pair of pumps.

If I'm being completely honest, it would not have been warm enough for the pumps if I had to do any traversing outdoors, but since 90% of my day was spent at home in my fuzzy slippers and the only time I left was to grab a coffee with a friend, and take these photos, the pumps were okay.

Joggers

I'm just going to say it, I love these pants. I feel so devious, dressing up what are essentially sweatpants with heels and a blazer and not feeling like I am committing a fashion faux pas.

I love my black pair of knit pants from East & Lo so much, that when they offered to send me over their new fall style, I simply could not resist. If you are feeling even the slightest bit tempted, East & Lo's price points are hard to resist as well! This pair of joggers is only $34, and they have lots of other affordable and cozy fall knits, in fact, nothing on the site is over $100. Plus you can shop worry free as they offer free returns (always very important in my book).

I only have one, tiny compliant with the pants - the image on the site shows them with black cuffs, which the pair I received do not feature. However I might just be too comfortable to mind.

Thank you to East & Lo for providing me with these joggers. My views and opinions as always, are completely my own.

The slouchy pant

I'm quite certain all the recent trends in pants have been engineered with the goal of letting us all feel like we are wearing pajamas. These slouchy pleated knit pants from East & Lo wear like my comfiest of lounge clothes, but with the intent of being worn out to lunch, running errands, and perhaps even to work? 

I do feel that when it comes to donning borderline loungewear, heels are essential. I also decided to go for some mixed prints, and mixed neutrals. A bold cuff also conveys the idea that hanging out on the couch is the last thing on my agenda for the day.

Have you tried the slouchy pants trend? What is your go-to styling? If not, and you are still contemplating it, you should know these pants are on sale!
