Pants

Wearing a dress over pants is one of those things fashion girls do that I used to feel like I could never pull off.

I find a picture is worth a thousand words, so I just like to copy these cool examples of how to wear a dress over pants.

Stick to heels, especially if you’re petite, to keep the wide leg from swallowing you up. Here are some of my favorite ways to wear wide leg pants.
