Ann Taylor Knit Slim Pants, size 00P (extra length folded under) :: H&M t-shirt, size 2 :: Cole Haan shoes, size 5 When Ann Taylor offered me a $100 gift card* to give their new pants a try, I figured it was a good opportunity to look for non-jean pants, since I seem to have a denim addiction and need more variety in my bottoms wardrobe. I normally go for bootcut or trouser style pants, but in my craving for something new, skinny and slim pa…

These LOFT petite pants in size petite 00 were too big in the waist, but I loved them so much, I took them to my tailor to get the waist taken in. Taking in the waist on a pair of pants is a very common alteration, and I have to get it done pretty often. Women who have a small waist, but amble hips, often come across this problem. In this case, pants that fit in the hips are often too big in the waist, leaving that annoying gap at the back of …

victoriassecret.com Moving onward in the search for dress pants, I heard from a fellow petite friend who swears by the Victoria’s Secret “Christie Fit” pant. I remember trying on a pair of her VS pants a while ago, and them being too big, so I forgot all about them until I came across the “Kate Fit”. victoriassecret.com The Kate is supposed to have a really low rise, and the word “stretch” in the desc…

J.Crew Cafe Capri in Port Wine & Minnie Pant in Warm Redwood One of my favorite trends this year, along with smoking slippers, are all the pretty colored pants all over the place! I haven’t found any more mustard pants that have piqued my interest, so I’ve moved on to maroon/deep red colored ones. Bright red is one of my favorite colors, but as times goes on, I’ve been collecting more and more deeper shades in wine and mar…
