Is there anything better than tricking everyone into thinking you’re wearing real pants when in reality you’re only one step away from a onesie and bunny slippers? No? Didn’t think so.
While jeans are a great way to achieve a casual but chic off-duty look, they’re not always the most comfortable choice (especially after indulging in a few tacos).
The solution? Throw on some comfy, high waisted flare pants with a fun print and you’ll fool everyone into thinking that you actually tried that morning.
These flare pants from Express (on sale!) are so ridiculously comfortable and flattering I wish I could re-wear them every day. The vertical lines make them elongate my legs and appear taller and thinner, while still showing off my curves. I get nothing but compliments every time I wear them! Plus on this day in particular I got a pedicure and they were perfect because they’re so loose at the ankles that I rolled them up with ease! My only qualm is that they are quite long and still graze the ground even with 4-inch wedges. Sign, can’t win em’ all.
I paired the eye catching geo print with a contradicting pattern and texture in this cream colored, lace crop top (old, but I linked a really similar and affordable option!). My denim jacket was the perfect final layer to keep me warm with the temperatures finally (kind of) dropping.
Accessories were of course my go-to gold basics from Henri Bendel and a cute velvet bow choker from Forever 21. My sunglasses were $10 from a random woman on the street in NYC and my fringe tote in an oldie from a few years ago.
My number one tip for trying without trying is to mix and match different prints and textures to make the look more interesting and compelling!

My go-to off duty look can be described as athleisure. I usually wear some type of legging or athletic pant with a v-neck slouchy tee, a chambray or army shirt tied around my waist and sneakers.

Thank you so much! I love athleisure too! Sneakers are usually my go to 🙂
