If you read my wardrobe update post last week you'll already know most of the story on these pants. I have wanted them since September 2014 when I saw Emma Stone wear them at an event. I found them on Net-a-Porter soon after that and they were a bit too pricey ($1500+) so I resigned to the fact that I would never own them.  Earlier this year they were $578 at The Outnet, still too expensive. But then, one fateful day, I checked Yoox and found 3 different versions of the pants and they were an extra 15% thanks to a coupon code I had! So I splurged and paid $247 to add these beauties to my closet.

I was going to wear them right away, but then a company asked if I wanted to review one of their crop tops. Since it was black I decided to wait and wear the pants with that since I had envisioned wearing them with a crop top at some point. The top is a nice sturdy fabric and not too cropped so it was a perfect match for the pants! I also really like the higher neckline as well.

One of the great things about this sweater is it's so thin you can wear it even when it's really warm out. Unfortunately that wasn't the case the day I wore it. It was rainy and on the chillier side. All items are the same, except for the jeans.

It's one of my favorite times of the shopping year - Net-a-Porter's End of Season sale started last week! So I've started by making my wish list of everything in the sale that I could possibly want (mostly swimsuits and shoes this year) and now I will wait until they get further reduced in a week or two. Ideally I'll wait until the final reductions, but sometimes I pull the trigger early if it looks like something I really want will sell out. 

This jungle print skirt by Carven is one of my sale buys from the past! I bought it in their 2014 sale and it's one of my favorite statement pieces! The Outnet currently has a t-shirt version of the print.

I almost got rid of this skirt in a closet purge last year. I still don't wear it much because the slit is a bit awkward but I do like wearing it from time to time.  Decided to pair it with an equally daring top and some high heeled sandals. This tee is one of my favorites, which is very strange because it shows so much skin. Normally I like to cover up, as I'm sure you all know by now.

It's finally been steadily in the 80s the past couple weeks! FINALLY. It seems like we went from cold Spring to hot Summer in one week. Crazy! I usually wear these pants with navy tops but decided to go for a purple-y gray this time. I also wore a slight heel as well. Next I think I'll try them with a higher heel and a different top. We'll see.
