Oh how I (recently) love a good pant. Since your individual style is always evolving I wasn’t surprised when at the beginning of this year all I wanted to shop for was pants. What I was shocked at, is that I was covering the one body part that I liked the most.  We all have our body hang-ups or areas that we like to show and areas that we like to cover – my area to cover has always been my mid-section and my area to show off has always been my legs. Whenever my weight fluctuates my legs remain consistently the same, therefore I usually put them on display so I can hide my “problem” areas. Uhg, problem areas! They really are the pits! But these areas can always be easily hidden and or tricked into looking great! For example if you love or hate your legs – pants are your new friend. After wearing pants the past few weeks (a different pair in my latest post Paris on my Mind) I realized that they actually elongating and extenuate. For example, if you want your legs to look longer, wear high-waisted pants. If you want your legs to look skinnier, wear a wide-leg pant. We all have problem areas but it is all in how you style them or trick them into looking great! For more tips I found this article and this article to be interesting.

Okay, so before I leave you I did want to mention this incredibly badass necklace I am wearing. I stumbled upon the jewelry brand, Young Frankk, on Instagram. I usually bookmark shops and then decide if I want to buy something in the following weeks, not with Young Frankk. I was instantly drawn to a few pieces but pulled the trigger on this necklace that very day. Christine Young, the mastermind behind the brand, is an artist turned jewlery designer and hand-makes each piece from her studio in Richmond, Virginia.   I am super excited to watch her career unfold as I think she is really talented! I hope you all check her out!
