Loving Minnie

I heart Minnie.



No, not that Minnie






THIS Minnie

 I found these last weekend during my search for the perfect pair of black pants for the fall. The silhouette on the black pants I already own felt dated. I wanted something new and fresh and found these at my friendly, neighborhood J Crew.

J. Crew has issued the Minnie for the past couple of seasons. I tried on a pair and they felt like harem pants. But there's something different about the city fit version. The side zip and no pockets allow me to show off my small hips and balance my larger bust. You can wear them with flats or dress them up with heels. In other words, I want a pair in every color and permutation.

I know, I know. In the last post I extolled the virtues of long and lean as a directional look. But a girl has to go with what works for her. Besides, most mall retailers where I shop aren't offering long and lean yet. Until then, my new best friend is Minnie.
