Tuesday Fashion: Luxe for Less at the Loft!

9/21/2010

 
Do you ever find yourself on a quest for a certain item that you just KNOW will be a great staple for your wardrobe the second you find it?

You have a picture in your head of exactly what you want, but the problem is that you just can't find the perfect version of your latest style obsession?

Well my latest clothing quest had to do with a certain pair of black ponte pants that I seemed to encounter everywhere I went in NYC.  You know the ones...the cut and fit of these versatile pants is somewhere in between a legging and a slim pant, and they are the perfect answer for what to pair with any sweater or button down as the temperatures start to get a little cooler.

Luckily my quest for these pants finally ended on Friday when I  found the most comfortable and flattering pair of black ponte slim pants at Ann Taylor Loft!

Don't these pants look great?  They are structured enough to be very flattering, but slim enough to provide an easy and comfortable canvas for whatever outfit you have in mind.  I believe $59 is a great price for this pair of pants, but I was even more excited when I found out on Friday that all the pants at the Loft were on sale for $20 off, so I got these pants for only $39!  Oh and here's a tip for all of you have short legs like I do, and who feel like you can practically live at your tailor because you are constantly getting your pants shortened....try your pants on in petite like I did, and you may not even have to get your pants hemmed at all!

Unfortunately my shopping spree on Friday only included this pair of basic black pants, but after perusing the Loft website, here are a few other items that I think are not only a great value, but that would look great with these pants, and elevate this basic staple from classic and comfortable to completely chic!

Ann Taylor Loft Fran Brooch Metallic Snakeskin Flat, $69.50

And even though these earrings aren't from the Loft, I couldn't resist including these adorable and inexpensive black flower studs to finish off the outfit!

If you are interested in buying any of these items from the Loft here are two promotions you should know about...

1. Buy any full price top or sweater, and get one 50% off your second top.  Use code: Mix50.
2. The Educator Discount.  Teachers get 15% off at all Ann Taylor Loft stores when you present a valid school ID.

Happy Shopping!

I bought pants like those last year at J. Crew, but I haven't worn them much (mostly because I was pregnant!). You've inspired me to look at them for fall.

Thanks Betsy! They would definitely look great on you too! And Ali I definitely think you should bring out your black ponte pants for the fall. They are perfect for a weekend stroll in the park!
