A big thank you to Libby for being an awesome guest poster! I hope she is having fun with it and will continue to post whenever she finds a new fave. I have been really busy getting back into the swing of things at work but am using up some of my last shreds of energy of the day to post about my new favorite pants. I love them that much that I want to type and post pics rather than just curl up in a ball and go to bed at 8 pm. 
I love the pants because they are a cool length, comfy, and stretchy. I hadn’t even thought of this but the woman at J. Crew said that when it gets colder you can wear them tucked into boots. Since they’re cropped they won’t do that horrible bunchy thing that most of my jeans do when I try to tuck them into boots. The woman at J. Crew recommended flats with the pants but I also plan to wear them with heels once I get some cute open toe booties I’ve been drooling over at Nordstrom. [maybe I'll post those if I ever splurge on them.] So I think the pants can be appropriate for work , casual outings, or evening. That’s what I need when I’m trying to do recession-shopping! The final reason I love them is that they are like leggings for people my age. A lot of people at various stores try to sell me leggings for fall. I say I feel too old for leggings. Minnie Twill Pant to the rescue!
Anyway, here’s a pic of me heading to work with the Stretch Twill Minnie Pant from J. Crew. Ignore the wet hair… when you have to be at work at 7:30 a.m. the blow dryer doesn’t always get used. I wore my new favorite pants with a long sweater but my friend Caitlin was rocking a similar pair of pants with a v-neck tee and a vest. I just love the cropped length and slim fit. Happy shopping.
love my new pants

Yay for the minnie pant! Yours look very cute with the cardigan – I don’t remember seeing you in this at work? I feel that I should mention the ones from anthropologie seem to be pretty well-made. I know some of their stuff, although adorable, can sometimes not be of the greatest quality. My biggest gripe with my favorite store!
