I thought I’d try something a little different for today’s look. I think after spending hours listening to Grizzly Bear, I started craving casual, lightweight pieces that would feel airy against my skin. I’ve had my eye on cropped pants since I saw the Boy by Band of Outsiders spring collection this year, and decided to finally invest in a pair when I found these for an amazing deal ($24) at H&M. What I ended up with was a pretty neutral palette (a far cry from my usually NEED for color), but I like it. Check it out:

Shoe details. Love wedged heels - you can get the height without sacrificing comfort. Plus my lazy butt adores the zip up feature!
I paired it with my Eugenia Kim hat from Target (a collection that deserves a whole post in itself, which you can expect soon!), an old Gap blouse, a white bow, DB wedged shoes, an Anthro bracelet, and peacock cuff from Urban Outfitters.
What do you think about the cropped pant look? How are you liking the way I wore it? And how are you liking these beautiful pictures by Kanoa Utler? Let me know!

Ah, this post is perfection, Maria – I absolutely adore it! But, even more, I adore those wedge heels. I am so obsessed with wedges it is not even funny!
I haven’t tried the cropped pants look out myself; though it looks adorable on you!

Thanks girl! Next time I’ll try something with a little more color, but they felt SO good on (esp. after years of skinny jeans) I almost cried

I LOVE the cropped cargos! I just picked up a pair this weekend too! I’ve been on the lookout for them as well, and picked up a pair for myself at Rugged Wearhouse for $12.99. I love that you can wear them casual with flip flops or funked out with wedges or in my case – peep toe booties.

I love this look! Like you said, it’s just a nice easy outfit to laze around in, but still look amazing.
