I know, I know, I have shared these pants a lot lately. But y’all, I really cannot stop wearing them. They have changed the game for me. Since I was a tiny tot I’ve been a dress girl through and through. When my mom tried to put me in pants or shorts I would complain nonstop about how uncomfortable they were. How I hated there the waist fell, they pulled or tugged, or I didn’t look girly enough. 

These little temper tantrums really didn’t fade over the years. I just threw them in the fitting room, by myself, as I tried on pants, jeans, and all of the shorts. Sure over the years I have found a few styles that have worked. However, I still found myself reaching for dresses more than those. 

Well this summer, that has changed. And it is all because of these casual wide leg crop pants from Everlane. I have been wearing them nonstop – to church to events to day dates to meetings and then just about everything else. They’re comfortable, easy, not too heavy but don’t stretch a ton (hold their shape), and they just look SO cute with tops tucked into them.

Today, I’m styling them with one of my favorite summer tops. This lightweight cotton top is just about the sweetest thing – not to mention it really is super lightweight and breezy – perfect for the hot summer days that don’t seem to be fading anytime soon. 

The top is from a brand called Lilla P, that has quickly become a favorite of mine. Morgan and I connected with the brand at NYFW earlier this year and completely fell in love with the brand, the people, and their showroom. Lilla P is all about chic pieces that are perfectly tailored for a casual lifestyle. Aka exactly what my style is all about! Their pieces that will never go out of style, ones you can wear for years and years to come. If you haven’t checked them out yet, I highly recommend doing so. And order a fabulous new piece for yourself while you’re at it. You deserve it gal!

    • Oh my goodness you are so sweet, thank you! I bet you could rock them though – I’m only 5’4” if that convinces you more so!
