Working Mom Formula: Who Wears the Pants

You know I love a good pencil skirt (there are 4 of them in my Fall Capsule), but I’m truly a jeans girl at heart. For some reason, I have a difficult time finding the happy medium between casual jeans and professional pencil skirts. Most people call that happy medium “pants”. As someone who has to go from sitting at a desk to chasing around a crawling/scooting troublemaker, you would think I would have more than one pair of pants that I like! (Hopefully it will be two pairs soon, I plan to use Gap Cash and buy a pair this weekend.) 

These bright blue pants are winners for my working mom formula of “casual professional”. They’re polished enough to work with a blazer and heels (or pointy toes at the very least) but go just as well with a laid-back gingham button up and flats. And that just happens to be how I styled them today! 

Next on my pants-buying agenda: a neutral, slim fitting pair. Basically, I need the work equivalent of skinny jeans. So what is your go-to pair of pants? (Maybe you’ll give me some inspiration!)

Gray check shirt: J.Crew Factory (navy version) / blue pants: Gap (lighter blue) / leopard belt: Gap Outlet (similar) / nude flats: Target
