I must be getting tired of jeans...lately I have been getting into pants again.  I feel like the last few months I have been in a style rut, basically wearing jeans everyday.  Now I have rediscovered these pepto pants (also wore here) and bought a second pair of Ann Taylor Culottes when they went on sale.  

I usually find it easier to buy tops (because most tops will go with jeans) but have a harder time buying pants because a 'statement' pant seems harder to style.  That being said, bridging out into different styles of pants makes me feel like I have expanded my wardrobe.  Tops can be dressed up or down when paired with  different pants.  This lace top being a case in point...I nabbed it for $8 (plus it was BOGO...so more like $4) but I feel like it looks way more expensive when paired with this pleated pair.
