To go shopping in search of the perfect outfit, one can easily return empty handed. This is typically the case for women, as too much thought is put into it. Instead, as I like to say, let the look come to you. It can be as easy as waking up and thinking, “I need something bold and bordeaux in my life”! This was such the occasion for me, stumbling upon these super wide-leg, pleated pants. One of my favorite little boutiques, http://shop.norestforbridget.com/, always has such particular finds. This is an outfit that I like to call, a “super score”, as both my top and pants were marked over 50% off. Mixing high and low is a skill I have perfected, along with finding the best deals out there. Retail is a world that is always in a state of “sale”. Unless something is so incredible, (typically shoes or a bag) there is no reason to pay full price. With new inventory always coming in, your local shops have to clear the way, so be there to help them when they do! I always look to sale items first. Often these discounted pieces are more forward, unique, (thus why they did not move as quick), and what I like anyway. If you have built up your wardrobe with strong accessories, staple shoes and bags, getting creative with clothes is that much simpler. Invest in the foundation, you always build from the ground up!
Pants by “Lush”, Chanel bag, and BCBG knit cardigan. I loved the long cardi and pleats together, it created the breezy relaxed look I was going for. 
The pleated pants are so long, thank goodness these Alaia platforms saved me from them dragging all over the ground. I truly believe that once you alter the hem of pants or jeans, they never look the same. Therefore, buying extra high shoes is essential, (wink)! When I found them on www.theoutnet.com, a sensation of true love overcame me. They are one of the most comfortable shoes I own, and I still marvel over the black studs when I wear them!
