ZOMG, pants!
Occasionally, maybe ten times a year, I do wear them. And I would definitely wear these cute white pants, so I put together a casual little style post featuring them. I’m also completely in love with that necklace by spinthread (seen here on Erin), so I had to include that as well. The open collar of the shirt would show it off nicely, orange shoes would be cute peeking out from beneath the pants, and I like the mix of bright white with the ivory color of the bag.
p.s. This outfit would also look mighty fine with a white skirt and brown knee-high riding boots. I’m just sayin’.

I went to buy the ballet flats tonight, with my 40% Wednesday Nights in January savings coupon from Gap, but they didn’t live up to expectations- so sad! They were a great color but didn’t look so great on my feet, sadly. I’m still after a pair of white pants though so those are on my check-list for this weekend. Have a great time in SLC! If they’re getting any of the snow that is coming to Western Colorado you’re in for a real doozy!!

Great style you got there, Nicole! I love the necklace, i think it will made such a nice big statement piece :-)
Anyway, just curious, what font do you use for the description of the items? I have tried to find that exact style of font but had no luck so far.

This post is yet another reason why it’s a good thing Anthropologie doesn’t offer a credit card (or if they do that I have no clue that they do).

Love those white pants. I’m a pants girl save skirts in the summer. Except now I’m pregnant again and man – maternity pants just suck for the most part!
Allison
Love the bag, and it’s affordable too!

Are you one of those people that never gets cold? I would love to wear dresses more, but I always end up in pants cuz I know I’ll get cold (and I live in TX, not N. IL!). I’m just thin skinned which I think is why I’m always cold anyway, and of course in summer everywhere blasts AC.
I think white pants are super chic, but I’m always afraid I’ll walk around with a spot on my butt all day and no one will tell me.

That necklace is heartbreaking as a necklace. I love robust, geometric prints; it needs to be a purse to relish the color and texture.
Good god, should I try to make this?;-)

You have the best style, really, I am so boring and you always put together a great mix which I feel would work with different body types. I am uhm, very top heavy and dress in tent top tops but this looks doable to me and I love when you do these posts, thank you!!

I want this entire outfit. So cute!

This is my favorite “Style” yet!!! Beautiful colors and PANTS! I’ll take pants over a skirt any day; they are more flattering on me.
I have been looking for some basic flats; perhaps I’ll mosey on over to gap.com :)

Most women are pear-shaped which means that we are wider from the waist down. White widens optically and dark colors make you look thinner, especially in contrast. If you are pear-shaped and you wear this outfit, you’ll be accentuating the bulkiness from your waist/tummy down and minimizing your torso. This is not a bad a idea per se, but most women aren’t professional swimmers. This said, the items are beautifully chosen and the theorethical combination is excellent.

You know, I disagree in this respect: I think a pair of well-tailored white pants can flatter anyone celery or pear-shaped (provided the trousers are either a thick material or lined). There’s something that’s so classy about the look, which doesn’t work the same if say, the pants are another light shade (like mint, or beige (shudder))
I don’t wear pants either, but I would maybe try these. I love this blog.
lindsey clare
lovely outfit. that necklace is incredible! thanks for sharing.
i disagree with Sue – i know my mum has some fitted white pants and she is neither under 25 or very thin, and she looks great!
Amanda
I really like that bag and those ballet flats are adorable!
Jen at Chicken Fried Sushi
Love. Love! Love every piece and LOVE them all together!
Kim at Yellow Brick Home
Love, love love that you paired ivory with those clean, white pants.

As someone who is OBSESSED with right triangles and in love with color, that necklace, my oh my, I must have it!
Valerie
perfect taste, as usual! I would totally wear this for a casual client meeting, tough I might put a camy underneath that v-neck tee!
Amanda
One of my favorites yet! I’m looking for work clothes for Rome that are a bit less business and a bit more casual- this would work perfect! I’ll be with a client but we’re never walking around a destination doing a site inspection in suits. Can’t wait to check out the pants and shoes this weekend!
Sue
So sorry to say, I like all but the white pants. Unless you are under 120 pds and under the age of 25, white pants usually dont look good on anyone that I have ever seen…
Kate
Love, love, love! I look forward to your style posts; they’re so inspirational. That little necklace is all sorts of cute.

wowsas! heart this outfit – i’m off to grab my denim jcrew jacket in case it’s chilly when spring rolls around in the midwest – thanks for brightening my day here – the necklace rocks, but i love those shoes (the color) and the detail on that purse. lovely.

Now THAT is a lovely outfit. I LOVE THE SHIRT.
Anthro sent me a coupon for my upcoming birthday… I may have to go in and buy a new shirt! :)
pam
I would so wear this outfit – it screams me me me! I can’t wait for warmer weather and bright cheerful summer clothes!
linz
LOVE this… although I bet that top costs a pretty penny (darn you, anthropologie!)… wonder if you could get a similar one at forever 21 or old navy?
lauren @thelittlethingswedo
that necklace is uh-may-zing. i want it…in a bad way. the whole outfit is super cute too…although i could never pull off white pants…they’d be dirty in two seconds flat!
jodi
love everything about this!
Katie
Very cute! But what about the “rule” of no white bottoms after labor day?
I really dig the necklace, very unique!
