Hello Lovelies,

I hope you are having a wonderful day. Today was another hot and humid day; but I see signs of fall. Coming home from work today, my husband and I were driving down a street where normally people are weaving in and out of traffic and running stop signs on a regular basis. I pray God’s hedge of protection that people will drive more cordially. Would you know it, we come home and every few feet there are cement barriers that reduced the street to one lane in each direction. If these drivers try to weave around the other automobiles, they will have to dodge the barriers. I believe that people will be forced to drive differently.

Well, I tell you this story because sometimes you may want to get away from the hustle and bustle, but you can’t. So what do you do? A couple of months back, I purchased two pairs of the G.I.L.I Jetsetter Side Slit pants from QVC. One pair is in the Black Tropical (seen below) and one in Black Palm. The pants are so carefree and the look is high end. I am wearing the pant in the black tropical and they make me feel like I am going on a European vacation. I paired it with a wedge shoe from Skechers and lace top from Isaac Mizrahi. If wedges are not your favorite choice, a flat or heel would work and make the pants versatile.

The wide-leg pant makes a bold statement and are not for the shy at heart. Get ready for the compliments when wearing them. They have the look of a palazzo pants without being too wide. I chose a size small; but I could have gone down to an extra small; but that’s okay. I just want to let you know how the size is pretty generous. I thought that the wide leg would be overpowering; but the flow of the fabric is just right. The fabric is soft and feels good on the body. These pants are on my Summer Style Essentials list because they are effortless and can be coordinated with many tops and blouses already in your closet.
