By now you may have caught on to my obsession with colored-pants. However, these are something special and following the cropped trend of pants this season. I don’t have any cropped pants but I’m beginning to have a liking for this look. Yet all pants on me tend to be long in the first place so I would definitely need to seek out some tailoring/hemming which usually keeps me from purchasing certain items. This Fashionista decided to take matters into her own hands and roll her pants up herself, which I sometimes prefer as you can adjust your level of pant depending on your day’s style. Cropped pants in my opinion can immediately dress up an outfit, which goes to show how such a simple adjustment can really change up an outfit. Her boat shoes and simple, feminine top allow her ensemble be casually chic for everyday class.

How To: In order to recreate this outfit, begin with the colored capri pant. I love these ones that are crisp and have a hint of stretch from J.Crew. Continue this outfit with a basic feminine white or cream colored top to offset the structure of the pants. This top from Zara drapes well and would work perfect with a simple tank underneath. Add a little prep to your step with some boat shoes and you are good to go!
