{breezy white pants + straw hat}

Are you surprised to see me in pants?! I can never have too many white beachy pants... until I found this pair. Now I'll never need a new pair because these are IT!!

I'm always wearing white pants because white is a favorite color (perfect back drop for any bold accessory), it makes you look tan, and it just oozes relaxed beach vibes. I love a wide leg pant because it breathes well and is comfortable. They're easy to dress up or dress down (hello, perfect travel outfit)! No matter where I go I always pack a pair of white beach pants in case I need something to break up the usual dress rotation I wear. I feel like you always get the random sunburn on your leg that you want to cover up, or don't want material rubbing on it, and palazzo pants are the perfect solution.

Okay so why are these THAT good? They're on the pricier end, I realize that... y'all know that I'm all about budget friendly pieces. However, these are worth the investment because of the material alone. It's gauzy while not being see-through, it has a natural "wrinkle" texture to it, and the waist band is forgiving and won't dig in too tightly. The smocked waist also helps smooth out your hips to give an elongating look to the legs. I was so thrilled when these pants were the perfect length for my 5'-6" frame because I almost exclusively wear sandals now. Heels don't really work with the Key West vibe. I seriously cannot recommend these enough!! I want them in the surf color too ;)

Love Always,

I mentioned I was bringing the skort back and I wasn't kidding - I'm sure y'all are sick of seeing it ;)

I just love this outfit - so simple in black and white but all of the details make it interesting and fun. I've worn this skort dressed up and dressed down before so I wanted to make it more of the focus by pairing it with an easy black tank. The fringe at the bottom shows perfectly against the white! I obviously paired my two favorite accessories with this black and white look (per usual): turquoise jewelry and a touch of leopard!

This lipstick is my new go-to neutral color… is it weird that I feel like Kylie Jenner would like this color?? It has a subtle hint of warmth but is still toned down (unlike my usual bright pink or red lip)! Bonus: you can get your first order 15% off with code SOUTHERNANCHORS15. You won't regret checking out these lippies :) there's a pencil sharpener in the cap and they last all day!!
