And I’m going to get all fashion blogger-y on you and show you another picture, for a slightly different look 🙂
Where have these pants been all my life?? I’ve been a fan of Black Crane since it first surfaced a year or so ago, but never wanting to pay full price, I missed out on pieces I was looking at once they went on sale (they sell out SUPER FAST on Totokaelo, even not on sale). When I saw these pants on Totokaelo, I knew I needed to just get them. Which I did. Obviously. And they’re wonderful (already sold out in all sizes except medium). They’re sort of flannel, so they’re quite warm for right now, but I’ll deal with it. I look forward to wearing them with a cropped cashmere cardigan and loafers when it cools off though. SO COMFORTABLE. I highly recommend these pants, or anything Black Crane really. Made in the US also. Holla!!! 🙂
And please tell me how impressed you are that there’s not ONE BIT of black in my outfit today. I’m going to be working very hard to bring some color/pattern into my wardrobe in the next few months. I truly am drawn to some colors and patterns (see today’s other post featuring Kenzo), but have always suffered from the “they look better on someone else” syndrome. I’m tired of that shit.
Moving on!!
LoL .. you and I suffer from the same black, white, gray (neutral) syndrome, but in all honesty .. it’s just so darn easy. I don’t have to wonder if my pink jacket goes with a print blouse because a black jacket will do every time 😉

Yay for two pictures and I am totally on board with you embracing color and/or print (preferably both)! 🙂
I frigging love this outfit, and your hair looks great. And kudos to being over ‘this would look nice on someone else.’ I hope you get some flying tigers into your wardrobe!
thank you!!! this is one of my favorite outfits EVER. the pants kill me…and i see now that they’re sold out 🙁 – i might have to get another pair at some point!!
i hope i can get some flying tigers also. maybe when it goes on sale? IF it goes on sale??
i’m trying!!!!!!
YES. this is why i love my neutral wardrobe. EVERYTHING goes with EVERYTHING. so easy.
So chic and simple (Which reminds me, “Chic Simple” by Kim Johnson Gross, do you remember that series of fashion books? They were like my fashion bible!) I digress…You look so fashionable, and yet comfy in this outfit. Love it, love Black Crane!
So love your look and the pants ! Is that the size medium on you? I am usually beetwen size 8 and 10, i guess i need Black Crane pants in size Large , or they runs too large ?
I’m an 8 generally or size 28/29 in jeans and the medium is great on me. I’d stick with a medium if I were you. I think they’ll be fine!
