Old Navy Cords

I'm in love ...
... with a pair of pants.
The Old Navy Rockstar Cords, to be exact.
When I was in Columbia this fall, I stopped in to Old Navy with my mom and sisters.  I picked up two pairs of these skinny cords in the below colors.

It's so easy to wear these guys.  I loved them so much, I went back and got a grey version of the cords too.  I love wearing them with button downs and looser blouses the most.  They also look so cute tucked into boots.






I can even justify wearing them to work (we are in a business-casual environment) so that is great.  I'm usually against skinny-anything at the workplace, and these are a little on the edge of appropriateness for me, but the fact that they're cords makes it a little easier, I think.  Thicker fabric = more business appropriate, perhaps?  Not that I'd ever wear them to meet with a client, but they're good for in-office days.

A note on sizing:  GO UP.  Or else you are going to feel like an overstuffed sausage.  I typically wear a 0 or 2 in pants, and the pairs that I bought are sizes 4 and 6.

So ladies, they are on crazy-good sale.  Like, $18-20.  Do I have your attention yet?  Shop here.  But don't wait too long or else I might be buying them all.  The pastel colors are the least expensive but I personally think you don't have to wait until the spring to wear them ... pastels look FAB in winter!

Hmm.. maybe I'm thinking go ahead and buy some pastel for March? It's crazy what I've bought for POST baby. Meanwhile, I'm struggling over here for next 2 months! haha.

I'm wearing Rockstar Skinnies as we speak! Not cords, but a pair of like, ivy green jeans with zipper ankles. I love Old Navy pants and got these with a big post-Christmas discount :)

Ooh I love those! I was just in there but made a bee line for the sale rack and didn't even look. Super cute! And I think with a button down and blazer , totally work appropriate!
