\"\"<\/a>meet my new favorite pants.\u00c2\u00a0 i found them at goodwill a few weeks ago.\u00c2\u00a0 they needed a few interior patches, but they only cost me $2.\u00c2\u00a0 the name brand is “pilcro and the letterpress” and they were originally $118 from anthropologie (i love a good bargain story!).<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 they are stretchy and the corduroy is the finest, softest wale i’ve ever felt.\u00c2\u00a0 initially, i wasn’t sure about the enormous flared legs, but i’ve grown quite fond of them.\u00c2\u00a0 the color seems to go with almost half of my wardrobe, so i put together three outfits using these pants to show you here.\u00c2\u00a0 this first outfit was one i wore to work last week on a day that i was teaching a (non-messy) toddler art class.\u00c2\u00a0 i think of it as my “art teacher” outfit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(i love this necklace!\u00c2\u00a0 i made it years ago and it always makes me smile.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>next is a slightly dressier outfit.\u00c2\u00a0 i haven’t actually worn this one out in public yet, but i think i will very soon.\u00c2\u00a0 i love the little bronze “glitter” in the top and the drape of this soft, lightweight cardigan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>but my favorite is this outfit that i actually wore today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>i felt so confident (and comfortable!) all day in this–a rare combination.\u00c2\u00a0 plus, the light and my wonderful husband’s photography skills make this my favorite shot of the day:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>and i finally used one of the new scarf tying techniques that i found on pinterest!\u00c2\u00a0 i used the “magic trick” knot found on this video around the 2:37 mark.<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 very easy and a much more “full” looking knot than the one i usually do.<\/p>\n

(all outfit pieces thrifted unless otherwise noted)<\/p>\n
