My work-appropriate cropped pants are in a bit of a sorry state. I have one black J Crew pair from two seasons ago and the rest are all 5+ years old. My first job after law school required suits 24/7 (so obviously no occasion to sneak in cropped pants and peeptoes!) and I started my current job last July so I felt like it was too far into the summer to invest in anything new - preferring to spend on new tops I could wear into the fall. So that leaves me now, in mid-May, with days of 70's and 80's with little in the way of warm weather work pants other than skirts.
So I tried on a few pairs in J Crew over the weekend and decided on these soft purple Skimmers. I like the fact that they are a color without being too bold.
I also had some great luck with bargains over the weekend. I found a skirt at the Talbot's clearance store for $5.50!! I also found a super cute Lilly skort at local resale chain Second Time Around. I will have to take pics later this week!
Hope your week is off to a great start! Here in the Boston area a huge pipe that carries our water burst over the weekend so we have been drinking bottled water and using paper plates and utensils since Saturday as we've been getting our water from our alternate reservoirs and it isn't up to normal standards of cleanliness. Millions of grumpy Bostonians who have been going without their morning Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts is NO fun!

I love the color of those capris! Can't wait to see pictures of your fabulous bargain purchases!
I hope they get the water situation cleared up soon!
I ordered a black and grey pair of the skimmers last week. They seem to be a perfect pant for the office, not too short and tailored. It sounds like the water is good again in some areas, I hope it is in your town!
$5.50!? No way!!! Xoxo-BLC
