4 Ways to Wear + Go Chic or Go Home

For this month’s 4WTW, I decided to focus on a trend that is huge for fall – the cigarette pant.  I found this vintage pair at a thrift store for less than $10 – though mine are a silk shantung & have a dressier feel to them, you can apply these same pairing ideas with any slim cropped trousers you already have (basic black, printed, brightly hued).  Since we are entering layering season, I tried to use combinations that would work for the cooler weather (and most are work-appropriate too).  

To make things easier on myself, I used the ensemble tool in Go Chic or Go Home to determine what pieces would look best together.  I first introduced readers to their site in this post.  (If you aren’t yet a member, you can request an invite here.)  It was so simple to pull items from my closet and create different looks – I personally find it so much better than standing in my room, staring at clothes on the rack.  And this way, not everything ends up in an enormous pile on the floor!  This will definitely be my new system for arranging outfits I want to try in the future and will come in handy for all my upcoming 4WTW posts!

    I loooooove the last look with the fur vest and the Zara bag! I'm definitely going to have to re-create this look! I love that it looks so lady like, but the think chain and the booties give it some edge.

    Love how you rocked the red jeans with the different looks! I'm also loving that fur vest! I may have to get my hands on it!

    Love a cropped pant. They're really so versitile especially since you can wear heels with any height, or none! i'm loving the first and last so much, especially with that cute little bow tie on the first option. Nice!

    I LOVE that Zara bag in the last picture. Totally looks so much more expensive (even kind of Celine-esque) Great looks, my dear!
