Why Everyone Should Own Polka Dot Pants

It's always great to have a few items in your wardrobe that easily elevate your outfit. Like adding a statement necklace over a shirt, these polka dot skinny jeans have become a favourite in my closet because they're such an easy way to make my outfit a bit more interesting. Take a look at the photos below: wouldn't this outfit just be way more boring with plain skinny jeans? I certainly think so.

Especially when you're in a rush to throw an outfit together, it's a good to know you have a few items like this in your arsenal. If you're feeling like your regular jeans are not making the cut, switch them out for a pair of cute printed ones like these polka dot jeans! I found these at Winners quite a while back, but I've found a few others online that I've shared below.

I'm curious: do you have any items in your closet that you use to up your outfit game?

The Wide Leg Pant: How to Wear this Spring

When doing some clothes shopping a few weeks ago, I started to notice wide leg pants everywhere I went - culottes are still definitely a hot item too, as well as flared pants, but boy were there a lot of wide leg trousers! I ended up picking up a couple of fun pairs like these camel trousers and these nautical-style navy trousers, but I thought these pastel ones from last year would be the perfect way to start wearing this style for spring!

I recommend wearing wide leg trousers with pointed toe shoes, so that they poke out of the bottom hem just slightly. I perfect this look over rounded to shoes, which tend to hide underneath the pants, giving the "invisible shoe" look. It's not really a problem, but I just prefer having them peek out a bit!

And the pastels don't stop at the pants! My favourite lip colour of the moment is this NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in the shade Power from London Drugs. Just like the name says, the formula is super creamy and comfortable to wear, and the pigmentation is great. Definitely it's not for everyone, but it's a fun look that fits great with a pastel outfit.
