investment piece: amazing black pants

A few months ago I had a business meeting with a client. And I realized something: I owned ZERO dress pants. I owned tons of jeans – several pairs of "dressy" trouser jeans even. But nothing that would qualify as dress pants! ACK! Luckily, I was able to raid my sister's closet and find something, but I realized that even though I'm a work-at-home mom, I need to have something like this in my wardrobe!

Luck for me, I just added the Lauren by Ralph Lauren Adelle Pant to my wardrobe.  Its a classic dress pant with flat front and a hint of stretch.  Gorgeous and versatile!

The fabric is amazing – not too stiff and not too flowy and doesn't wrinkle easily. I also love the pockets – pockets are tricky in dress pants, but these are perfectly placed without adding any bulk. The waist is perfect, low-rise without being too low. And the mst amazing thing? Machine washable. My only complaint? They are huge on me. I usually wear a 2 or a 4 and I went with the 4 (I was having one of those days). They are practically falling off. So if you're really petite, you might need to try a different pant.

Black pants are such a wardrobe staple! A few looks to try:
