as i mentioned yesterday (and also in this post, and this video!), i'm really embracing fashion's sudden, frenzied return to PANTS! i realize that sounds a bit ridiculous, because pants never went extinct, but we're unquestionably experiencing a return to vogue of long, lean, trouser-ized silhouettes this season.

- keep the tops slim and tucked in.
- as with cocktails, it doesn’t pay to mix. staying in the same color range is ideal, as it helps lengthen the line.
