My first day at my new gig is formally on the books. Oh, and shaggy dog story earlier than we get into the work pants. I put a long-wearing matte liquid lipstick on earlier than leaving the home (MAC Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolour in A Little Tamed, one in all my faves), and within the rush to get out the door on time, I forgot to double examine my tooth for any wayward lipstick fine details.

Two hours into my morning, I jump over to the lavatory, and that’s after I notice that I had a giant ol’ blob of lipstick smack dab on my entrance tooth, HA HA HA! I’d been smiling and saying hi there to folks all morning with lipstick on my tooth. Ahhh, serves me proper for speeding and never doing issues I do know I ought to’ve performed the night time earlier than.

Anywho, I’ve been sporting the Madewell work pants I purchased for my new job out within the discipline, and in case you have been contemplating them, these are my ideas on them thus far.

The Petite Excellent Classic Jean in Meyers Wash

I’m sporting this darkish jean within the pic on the high. Babe, it’s actually goooooood. So good I’d need one other pair.

It’s all in regards to the match! I like the way it skims my hips and thighs but additionally there’s some looseness round these areas too, so that they aren’t pores and skin tight. If you pair it with a jacket, I feel it’s skilled sufficient for work. Oh, and because the day goes on, the denims stretch out somewhat however not a lot that they’re hanging off your booty-meat by the top of the day.

The petite size hits me completely at simply above the ankle.

Shout out to this jacket!

The jacket, by the best way, can also be from Madewell, and it’s the Rosedale Blazer in Plaid, and proper meow it’s on sale! It’s often $198, however with the markdown and an additional 40% with the code NEWYEAR, it’s $89.99. Sadly the petite sizes are restricted, however in case you put on commonplace or plus, proper now there are nonetheless lots out there.

The lower is roomy however not too outsized, and I just like the pockets! It’s additionally mechanically cleanable, which is a serious plus in my e book, as this woman has no time or endurance for dry cleansing.

The Harlow Huge-Leg Pant

This extensive leg trouser is available in so many alternative lengths and colours. I wore a darkish grey plaid model on my first day.

The professionals!

• Deep pockets that lie flat.
• The drape of this specific materials could be very fluid and it strikes properly whenever you stroll.
• The plaid print hides numerous issues, together with cat hair and any meals you unintentionally spill on your self (hi there, story of my life).
• The petite size is ideal with a small heel.

However, whereas I like a large leg, I really feel like this lower is likely to be only a smidge too extensive. Additionally, the realm across the entrance has virtually an excessive amount of materials with all of the pleats, and after I sit down, it looks like there’s simply a lot occurring within the crotch space. LOL! An excessive amount of info? In all probability.

Truthfully, it additionally might be as a result of I used to be sporting a sweater with balloon sleeves that was additionally barely outsized, and the entire impact made me really feel like I used to be drowning in material… I dunno. I’m going to strive these pants once more with a extra fitted high and a slim jacket to see if that modifications how I really feel about them.

Anywho, I’m actually liking the folks and the job thus far. I’ve already used my writing and enhancing abilities, which makes me really feel good. 🙂

How is life in your finish?

Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,
