INsPIration: Style DU MONDE VIA Who What WEar 

Gray blazer, tee, olive pants, python shoes
Gray Banana blazer, F21 tee, LOFT olive pants

One of my favorite things about blogging and fashion in general is that I feel like I never stop learning. Without this inspiration photo, I never would've paired these pants with heels and a blazer. I was limiting them to casual flats and warm weather because of their loose fit and linen-type fabric. Not to mention that for this outfit I'd usually wear denim or cropped dress pants - I'd never usually consider a pant this casual. I don't think it photographed as well as it felt in person (might try a slightly different mix of colors next time), but it certainly felt great to try something unexpected!
