Black Pants for Work 2: Brocade

Today, I'm concluding my second series on black pants for work with another recent work outfit.  Here, I combined black brocade pants with a tunic length cowl neck sweater.

Pants:  LOFT Petites

The fitted pants work with the tunic length, and this was a comfortable and easy look.  During the winter, I can get a little lazy with my style.  I want clothes that are quick to throw on, and nothing is easier during cold weather than pants and a sweater.

Sweater:  New York & Company

Tote:  The Limited

Booties:  Target

To add more interest to such a simple look, I opted for the brocade pants instead of plain black and added the pop of plum.

Gold medallion dangly earrings accent the gold in the pants, while the sweater and simple black booties help tone the pants down enough for daytime work wear.

Earrings:  The Limited
