I love this whole ensemble as a work outfit or for just shopping during the day.

PETITE: Trouser jeans go straight all the way down from the hips and compliment every body! If worn properly, trousers can make an illusion of elongating legs and can even out your proportions if you're feeling self-cautious of your hips or thighs. These are actually petite length and are so comfortable and perfect. They feel like sweats, but look so neat.

I have to admit, I was having trouble figuring out how to wear these jeans without looking like they were eating me. I was also trying to figure out what shoes to wear with them! Heels are the best option to elongate legs. I picked a kitten heel so I could walk in them all day. Platforms and wedges could work too with a pointed toe. For tops, you can wear something fitted to offset the loose pant. If you don't want to wear anything tight, just put on a loose fitting top with a belt to eliminate frumpyness.

My pants hit right at the waist and since my sweater is loose fitting, I have a waistline (I don't have hips!) and my chest is no longer the focus of my outfit. Speaking of my sweater, I adore the metallic beading on the shoulders, which continues to my shoulder blades.

FABULOUS: My bag was found in TJMaxx for $199 instead of $399+! I actually bought it a few years ago in high school, so that was a lot of money to me back then! The tweed, velvet, leather, and bow brooch won me over. I am all about unique details!
