Outfit of the Day: Inspired by Audrey

Oh the great Audrey Hepburn. The fashion world owes her so much.
Not only did she make the little black dress a wardrobe staple, but she also made black pants forever fashionable.

Its hard to find good black pants. I've been on the hunt for awhile now. The 3 things I was looking for was a lightweight fabric both for casual/work wear, crop, and slim.
I looked high and low until I remembered something:

Does anyone else remember this Gap commercial like I do?

So that's where I went.
The Gap slim crop pant in black is what I picked up (seen here)



This is how I paired it. I wore my favorite striped shirt I bought in Korea. I tied my hair in a bun (you can't see it cause it's not a high bun..my hair is not long enough for that).

As for the pants...I love them!
I was on the fence because at the fitting room they were a little bit snug. I read the label and saw that it was 5% spandex so I knew that it would stretch out with wear...but I was still scared.
My body type is awkward in that I have thunder thighs :( so slim pants make me feel very self conscious.

Anyway, I bought the pants for a little over $30 when Gap was having one of those 40% off flash sales.
Worth it? Totally! I've seen reviews for the Minnie pants from JCrew but they are WAY too expensive.
Its a great fit in every way.
For height reference..I am 5'7" and the pants hit literally right above my ankle. I can fold the pants for a more casual look...or pair them with heels to dress them up. Very versatile pants.


Cheers!
