Haul Time

As I state in my previous post, I was looking for clothes that were more appropriate for a business casual environment.  I was having a hard time finding pieces I wanted.  I personally like dress pants that have a wide or full leg and apparently those are hard to come by.  Therefore, I had to get over it and succumb to the trend of a straight and short leg.  This notion scared me as I am a full figured woman with hips and was not sure what that style would look like on my body type.  Any who, I took a trip to the outlets.

I ended up walking away with about seven pairs of pants, a blazer, and a backpack.  All in all the straight short leg pants did not look too bad on me.  However, in a couple of styles I had to go up one size in order for them to look the way I wanted.

All accept one pair of pants had the straight and short legs.  The top I purchased was a blazer from the Ann Taylor outlet store.  Here are links to some of the items I purchased from Loft: Gingham Pants, Cotton Sailor Pants.  Unfortunately, none of the items are available online at Ann Taylor.  

The leather backpack pictured above was a gift purchased from Wilson's Leather.  I was in need of a bag I could use when I travel that could hold my laptop, wallet, etc.  I hate going through the airport with both a purse and a laptop bag.  So this backpack will allow me to take everything I need in one bag.

What have you purchased lately?
