I spent all afternoon on Sunday at the mall{s}, shopping for pants. Well-fitting, reasonably priced, trousers or pants for work. I easily tried on 30 pairs - so very exhausting!  After going from NY & Company to Bloomingdales, Macy's, Loft, Torrid, Lane Bryant, Ashley Stewart, Express and back again, I left with 6 pairs. So exciting!

I even found 2 perfect black pairs in Macy's {Style & Co.} that were on clearance. SCORE!

I purposely ended the search at Lane Bryant and although I don't normally shop there, they have the best selection of pants that fit thick thighs and true curves. They are not straight up and down or low rise - like most of the "city" trousers I was trying on. And I love that they have just a bit of stretch. …which is what I always need. Needless to say, I will not be shopping for pants in a long while. {Thank goodness!}

Don't you just love a nice pair of classic, well-fitting pants? 

I am so happy to have new pants to wear to work with blazers, tops and cardigans. I was seriously in a black-pants-rut, wearing the same 7 or 8 pairs over and over. Very uninspiring. Next, I need to begin a search for a few skirts. Specifically, a nice below-the-knee pencil skirt and a pretty a-line skirt. A well fitting sheath dress would be great to have too.

P.S. I rocked purple today, in honor of Spirit Day. :)
