Fancy Sweatpants for Nordstrom Trend Show

Not very timely post, but a great outfit nonetheless! This is what I wore to the Nordstrom Trend Show for Fall. This was outrageously comfortable, and I still continue to get compliments on these Vince Camuto shoes every time I wear them.

Silk with Sweatpants and Gladiator Heels

This was my wild card look, and I kind of wish I has skipped it. With everything else being SO classic, I felt like I wanted one look to be representative of  Now. But I think I went a little overboard... This was cute in person, but the grey of the pants against the grey of the rocks and the grey skies just didn't look right. I also changed in the back of the car, so my shirt tuck came out a little awkward.

These shoes are knockoffs of the Extreme Dior Gladiator Platforms Carrie Bradshaw wore in the fist Sex and the City movie! Steve bought these for me when we first started dating, so I thought it would be a cute touch to include them.

Here's a slight tweak on the sweatpants look I wore to work for a more casual vibe. I wore this shoe shopping - the slides are perfect for frequent changes.

Also: further evidence that a black blazer can pull together ANYTHING. Here are a few awesome ones in a wide variety of prices.

Sweatpants to Work?!??!

I was sure to wear this outfit on Dress Down Friday, just to be on the safe side, but I think this could be a perfectly acceptable work look in a more fashion-y environment! These are FANCY sweatpants, which can be deciphered from the contrast trim on the pockets and bow, the slim cropped fit, and zero evidence of elastic. Paired with a fitted shell (which is technically a workout top!), a relaxed blazer, and awesome heels, these sweatpants take on a chic, intentional vibe.

[Truth be told: I had to sub that day so when I changed into my chanclas and took off the jacket, a student earnestly asked if I was in my pajamas.]
