Hey everyone! Today I’m showing a summer outfit that my teen daughters love, surprisingly. They think the cargo pants are cool. Mom wearing something cool? What’s this all about?
You’ve seen the shirt before here but the pants are making their first time blog debut. Cargo pants are one of those clothing items that you have to balance looking cool and hip without adding too much bulk around the hips and thighs with all the things that make it cool and hip! Be careful of too many zippers and droopy pockets! These pants are from White House Black Market, who markets to our age group, so they know we don’t want saggy pockets and slouchy zippers. These slim, cropped pants are more fitted and the fabric is lightweight. Really, they have the look of cargo pants without the feel of cargo pants. They are one of my favorite summer pants!
The shirt was tucked in the last time I wore it on the blog so you couldn’t see the longer shirt tail like you can see today. Gives good booty coverage! The shirt is sheer, so I’m wearing a camisole underneath. I’ve added a gold necklace and gold earrings because the sandals have gold buckles and the zippers are gold on the pants.
Sunglasses are from Macys here. Pants are old but similar here and here and both on sale! Shirt is sold out from Loft.
These photos are from my hometown courthouse lawn where they have summer concerts. Definitely middle America! Linking up with these lovely ladies at Visible Monday, Forage Fashion, Cid Style File, Mama and More and Not Dressed As Lamb
I do not have any affiliation with any of the brands or stores nor do I receive any compensation. I’m just sharing what I’ve learned.

I love these pants! I only recently (in the past year) discovered White House Black Market. And I am loving their pants (and everything they have, actually)! I really like your top, too. I love the tunic length and the color is so pretty! Really cool outfit!

Thanks!
Not only do I like the cargo pants, I love the dusty green an pink together. Nice to find you and someone else from the Mid-West (Missouri here)
Yes! Not everyone in the U.S. lives in New York and California!
What clever cargo pants these are! I like the slim look, but that they still look cool and hip(man). Kids are funny about what their mothers wear. I hate to think what my daughter makes of me in my leather trousers!

I like the pink and cargo!! I’m from L.A. and I would wear this. Where did you get the shoes?
They are from last year from Nordstrom. Sam Edelman brand. I just checked to see if they still have them and didn’t see them. Thanks for commenting!
Great look! I love White House too – great styles for us over-40 fashionistas. xox
