It was only a matter of time before I made my first post featuring Audrey Hepburn. Not only is she one of THE leading fashion icons, she also exemplifies easy, simple style that anyone can obtain. While there are so many looks of hers I could pull from (and you can bet in the future you will see more of her), one of my favorites is Audrey in pants. She can rock a pair of trousers like none other and look utterly sophisticated in only a few pieces of clothing.
This look is made up of three parts: black trouser pants, black ballet flats, and a black knit top. Recreate this look with a twist to give it some interest by wearing embellished flats, an interest trouser cut, some dangling earrings, and red lipstick. Here’s how you can achieve this look for less:
Forever 21 Trousers $24.80
American Apparel Jumper Pant $40 (keep an eye out for it coming back in black!)
Macy's Black Knit Slit Top $30.80
Urban Outfitters Puff Sleeve Top $32.00
Urban Outfitters Asymmetrical ballet flat $28.00
DSW Studded ballet flat $19.94
Anthropologie Moonlight and Water Earrings $32.00
This outfit can work for most occasions, from lounging around the house to work at the office, and a night of cocktails with the girls. Can you see yourself trying out these pieces? What’s your favorite Audrey look? Enjoy!

PS – Bachman’s Sparrow is getting a face lift this weekend, so don’t be surprised to see some changes! I’ll let you know what’s new when I’m finished!

Though Audrey epitomized the little black dress ideal, I really think she looked beautiful is softer colors. http://tiny.cc/evt3n

She can do no wrong! Do you think she aged pretty well?

Always gorgeous. She had a beautiful soul too.
