Wanted to share these wide leg, cropped hem black jeans because these may easily become my favorite for the upcoming spring season. I styled mine with sheer socks and sandals (duh!) 🙂 because you know I will take any opportunity to wear my sheer socks 🙂
But before I dissect this outfit any more… let me say this – I thought about continuing to post ‘fashion’ things on here long and hard. And why? In the pandemic situation that we are in right now, it seems silly to me to continue on the same path; at the same time blogging has been this great distraction for me and a creative venue so different than what I do day to day in my ‘regular’ job. But still, the ‘fashion’ things may be something that people are no longer interested in; I am just hoping that this very stressful and difficult situation is relatively short lived.
Nonetheless, I am thinking of creating a more relevant content on here in line with the current situation but I will continue to do fashion posts simply because it’s something I love to do (and STILL, more than ever, need that distraction) and additionally because I have prior brand commitments and partnerships that I have to see through. If nothing else, doing what I did thus far is a great ‘de-stresser’ for me too… it lets me forget all the little to big problems of every day life 🙂
Back to the outfit… you know I love wide leg pants but this cropped length is new to me and I have to say… I am loving it! It creates a perfect opportunity to wear some bad ass shoes or sandals and, in my case, a pair of sheer socks for that one extra level of sassiness 🙂
These jeans are perfect to wear to the office too! They look polished and sophisticated enough and even worn with the exact same blouse you see here – I have a perfect office appropriate look! A button down shirt or a cardigan would make it even more ‘office-y’ and I definitely am wearing this pair to the office soon! That is, as soon as it’s warm enough to have a portion of my ankles exposed 🙂 So far, we haven’t had many good weather days over here to wear these just yet! But fingers crossed that spring weather is just around the corner!
Do you like this pant silhouette at all? I know it’s not the easiest to wear… It clearly creates this optical illusion of appearing much heavier and I felt that way too, believe me! But I am too excited for them to not try different outfits and reporting back to you on that so stay tuned for more 🙂
Wearing: Ann Taylor wide leg jeans (c/o) (very similar here, here, here, and here); Zara blouse (sold out, similar here); Zara sandals (similar here, here, here and here); Free People sheer socks (similar here and here), Zara fruit rings.
I want to try the wide leg jeans but I’m afraid they won’t look good on me!

Effortlessly Sophisticated
Thanks! I hear you, I thought the same. Not the easiest to wear, I agree
