Happy Thursday! I have said this before, but today’s outfit is a perfect example of it: when it comes to an article of clothing, when you find something you love, that fits like a dream and is a joy to wear, buy it in more than one color or print. The Colette Wide Leg Crop Pants at Anthropologie fit this bill for me. Ditto for the Vince Camuto top I am wearing. And well, while I am at it, the same goes for the Greta Ballet Flats from Madewell. Fortunately, these three items seem to be best-sellers so each season there are new colors and prints to choose from.

The Colette Wide Leg Cropped Pants Collection at Anthropologie is full of options in a dizzying number of colors, prints, lengths, and materials; and most styles are available in regular, petite, tall, and plus sizes. I have a denim version and this is my second pair in the Only-at-Anthro Magic Fabric: viscose, cotton, and elastane. I have to say the lightweight versions are my favorite.
The Magic Fabric sculpts as it stretches, which makes for an incredibly comfortable, flattering pant. I am wearing Petite 25. They fit true to size. Reading the reviews is fun because in nearly all the reviews, ladies are saying they own multiple pairs of the Colette Wide Leg Cropped Pants. They’re just that perfect!
I bought this Rumpled Satin Blouse last year online at Nordstrom. I loved it so much, I went back online and bought it in 3 more colors because, after a week of styling the white version, I knew I would be reaching for it all summer long. It’s just so effortless. It’s lightweight and goes with literally everything.
The rumpled fabric means it’s easy to care for, it packs and travels beautifully. Currently, it’s available in 4 colors, but they seem to release it in more colors as the season goes on, and there are very similar versions in a variety of prints. Also, it seems to be on sale quite often.

I have three pairs of the Greta Ballet Flats. Each pair feels slightly tight across the toe at first, but within about 30 minutes, they feel just fine. I am wearing my normal size 5 and I wouldn’t size up. The strap on this open weave leather version is connected to the sole rather than the upper, which gives the option of slipping the shoe on with the strap under your foot.

Ha! I just counted and I have 9 pair of Colette pants! They include denim, corduroy, cotton, and Ponte knit. The pair that you styled above I bought a few weeks ago. My daughter, who works at Anthropologie, gave me a heads up to get these because they are so cute! And the fact that you featured them makes me feel super stylish. 😍
Hi Leila, I am so happy to hear from a fellow Colette Pant devotee! I must admit I just purchased the oranges print… I am glad I did because they are nearly sold out! How cool that your daughter works at Anthro! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your love for the Colette Pant! xo Kelly
