Ruti On The Loose Work Pant 3 ways. Saw these pants all over Instagram and had to try them since they're barrels. Very comfortable and elevated and I love that they can be worn for anything - mom life, casual wear, and work life. You can even dress them up. Not a true high rise for me, so I had to size up for extra comfort. Wearing petite 4

Citizens of Humanity Miro jeans - probably my most worn barrels right now. Curve is only slight, which makes them slightly more versatile. The wash is stunning and can be worn year-round. These do run big, I size down to a 24.

This post isn't about more, more, more. It's about the right pair. Tall shaft, sleek instep ankle booties are not only elevated and polished, they're the most versatile ankle boot - pairing perfectly with all denim styles and maxi skirts and dresses. So for some that might mean buying another pair, but it also means you're one and done. It's not about buying MORE, it's about buying SMARTER.

Old Navy Bounce Fleece sweatshirt and pants. Truly, incredible material and the drape is stunning! Wearing petite small in both the top and bottoms, but I'd say these run tts.
